Next week at the Lyceum theater Sardou's latest play, "The Sorceress," will be presented for the first time on any stage in the west, or in the country, save for a very few eastern cities, m which Mrs. Patrick Campbell played it for a short time last season. Minneapolis is fortunate to have an opportunity of seeing so early this won- 'derful drama of Spam in the sixteenth century, written by the great hench- man who is avowedly the greatest liv- ing dramatist and one of the greatest plav-writers who ever lived. Florence Stone, whose successes in the Sardou roles have been repeated season after season, will appropriately play tl^ title role. Mr. Ferris promises that the stage settings and mountings of ' ' The Sorceress" phall be elaborate and su- perb. A careful study of the period has been made by the Lyceum scenic artists and costumers, and the result will be a series of pictures of larbaric medieval beauty and impressive picturesqueness. The story of ' ' The Sorceress' ' is laid near and in the city of Toledo, Spain', in the early part or the sixteenth cen- tury. The persecution of the Moors, with its attendant horrors of the inqui- sition, is at its height. Zoiava, the so- called sorceress, is a beautiful Moorish -woman, educated in the Moorish learn- ing of the day, and on' account of her wonderful cures is believed by the su- perstitious Spaniards to be a sorceress. She is captured by Spanish soldiers and exercises the wiles of her beauty upon thPir cpptam Don Enrique Palacios, who is engaged to the daughter of the governor of Toledo. They fall in love with each other, and the course of this ill-starred love affair and the complica- tions to which it gives rise form the basis of the poweiful story. The cast follows: Don Enrique de Palacios ... Lawrence Grattan I'adllla, Governor of Toledo . Chas Llndholm Caidlnal Xlmenes Stuart Beebe Kamlio, a soldier Charles Stuart A shepherd James Wiley Cleofas, a pin slclan Lawi enee Barbour Fare/, a mulediiver Hany Hamilton Calabazas, a monk Richardson Cotton Don Ambrosio Fred Ambrose Cardenos Ernest Fisher Ziiguir, a servant to Zoraya.. .Georjtiania Haves OHveira, a phjsiclau Hany Plympton Molina, a monk Fred Aldrich Arias, a soldier Fred Brownson Gil Andres, a jailer Chas C Burnham Juana, daughter of Padilla . .Rose Currie Aisha, seivant to Zorava .. .

Of course there are some very good marches which are pleasing even to listen to while sitting. Operas of heroic character which sing of free- dom and patriotism will find undying favor m all countries. '' The masses receive patriotic songs and national airs with cheers and whis- tles; tender familiar and religious songs are hardly enjoyed, and solos receive many encores. Yet thruout my experi- ence as leader of the United States Marine band and my present organiza- tion very good music has always been requested and enthusiastically received. "In making the following program I have arranged the numbers in order of popularity, as I have found them to be with the general public. * Overture, "William Tell," Rossini; overture, "Tannhauser," Wagner, Intermezzo, "Cavalleria Rustic.ina," Mascagnl; miserere, "Trovatore," Verdi, selection, "Faust," Gounod; patriotic song "Di\ie ' Emmet; national air, "Star Spangled Banner," Keys; selction, "Carmen " Bizet, sextet, "Lucia," Donizetti, quartette, "lligoletto," Verdi Agent Forgot To Time Race Hart atod Paine, premier novelty instru- mentalists, will play their beautiful high-class program on all sorts of strange and unusual instruments. A clever singer and dancer is Jessika, and a famous vaudeville star. Her exceed- ingly bright and mirthful character im- personations in son'g are as entertaining as they are original, and her personality ia chic and pleasing. Unique.— The Unique theater next week puts on the heaviest bill of the year—nine specialties being on the pro- gram. Koler and Seymour, who are billed as "comedians who can sing," are the headhners. Probablv next m popularity will be Charles Howison, the Chicago whistler, who imitates musical instruments and birds. A novel turn will be contributed by Clem C. Magee, a lightning crayon artist, who is also a singing an-d dancing comedian. He is said to be just as clever with his feet as with his hands. Belle Verna, a co- medienne who gives character imperso- nations; the three Auburns, juvenile change artists, and James Bingham, a ventriloquist, are the other entertainers. The playlet will be furnished by Han- ford and Hart and is entitled '' The De- tective and the Maid." As usual, there will be illustrated songs and moving pictures. One film will be of especial i interest, as it shows the Russian army on a forced march in Manchuria. The Unique will continue the feature of gift matinees for ladies Tuesdays and Fri- days The usual amateur show will be given Friday night, the programs at both performances being furnished by volunteers. Harriet Roof Garden. Francesco Fanciulli, whose concerts ' begin in Minneapolis Monday, has had a musical career of marked success. No «bandmaster is better known m the * large cities of the east A few months ago Fanciulli took part in one of the most interesting competi- tions ever conducted by a newspaper. The New York Globe invited some of the greatest bandmasters to submit pro- grams, which to their mind were best suited to the public taste. It is worthy of note that of the twelve numbeis Fanciulli selected, nine were incorpor- ated in the program finally chosen. Fanciulli contributed the following article giving the reasons for his se- lections: "In my opinion popular music is the music which arouses the better emotions in the listener. Not pnly do we like to hear it, but we feel *the desire, I may say the need., of it. f }Aside from being inspiring it is built on logical and artistic lines and it will •always remain popular." "Such a composition is 'Tannhau- ser.' It cannot be said that 'Tannhau- hauser' is popular because it is melodi- ous or tuneful. It requires an accom- plished musician to memorize any part of it except the 'Pilgrim Chorus.' The enthusiasm is aroused by its wonderful orchestral effects, the extraordinary originality which is displayed, is still * required to perform it and the grand- eur of the finale, which again brings in .the maiestic strains of the 'Pilgrim •>. fChorus.' It resembles a grand ora- - tion. , "" " I t is not just to condemn all of the **" so-called popular hits. There are many <, of these which, were it not for abuse, would attain some lasting popularity, sj,., but on account of the constant 'drum- £ ming' which they receive, they lose K their temporary favor. There are also 1£ many 'hits' which are not good musical r compositions at all, but which attain t an artificial popularity by being im- posed upon the public. % f "Folk songs are always popular in ~f' the communities where they have their \ origin. They are in a way closely al- ' „ lied with national airs and in consider- |t ing what music is popular these two f t forms should be given a prominent place. A good rythmical march is a 7 ways popular and it is natural that it should be. As nature provided for man the necessity to walk in measured strides, any kind of noise that helps the The question, "Can a woman rea- son?" has been variously answered, but all authorities agree that she is a little weak on mathematics, which means on the computation of time and distance. This was brought forcibly home to Charles F. Towle, manager of the "Ben H u r " company, and L. N. Scott, man- ager of the Metropolitan op^rahouse, one afternoon while standing in front of the theater when the spectacle was presented in this city two seasons ago. Both gentlemen were in right good humor and were talking about the im- mense success and big business the Wal- lace play was enjoying, when they were accosted by a representative of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Crueltv to Animals. This gentleman, upon intro- ducing himself, told the managers that his society had been notified by a lady, who had seen " B e n H u r " t h e night be- fore, that the horses in the chariot race were cruelly treated. She said that Messala and Ben Hur lashed them with whips and pushed those magnificent ani- mals forward with breakneck speed for an uninterrupted period of at least eight minutes. ''Is that true?" said Mr. Scott. "I regret to say it is," replied the society man. It happened that a mati- nee was in progress, and as it was then about 4 o'clock, Mr. Scott remarked to the agent that the chariot race would run in a few minutes, and that if he would, go into the theater and watch for himself he would be able to make an intelligent report to his society. Mr Scott ushered the agent to a seat, and left him with the parting in-junc- tion: "Now don't forget your watch; catch the time on the race. Keep your eye on the drivers rather than on the horses, to see whether or not they are really touched by whips, because the facts of the matter are that the whips are whirled and cracked above the heads of the horses, but never touch them." Ten minutes later the agent of the society came out rubbing his bewildered eyes._ With a wave of his hand, he ex- claimed: "That race is not long enough. It is the best thing I ever saw. ' "Well, report that to your society," said Mr. Scott, "and I think it will be SQM$ENTINO TO PRESENT^^ *A PEROSI'S NEW ORATORIO h* ¥• EUGENIO SORRENTINO. Conductor of th« Famous Banda Rossa at the Auditorium Fair Week. One of the most notable offerings in the musical world of Minneapolis is that of the Banda Rossa, the announce- ment of whose appearance here during fair week at the Auditorium, appears m another, column. In addition to the magnificent repertoiie of band music, played as only the Banda Rossa can play it, Conductor Sorrentino has ar- ranged to present Perosi's "The Resur- rection of Christ," an oratorio written by Don Loienzo Perosi, a young Ro- man Catholic priest. This will be the first presentation in America of any of Perosi's works and, considering that they have been truly epoch-making in Italy, the birthplace of the composer, the occasion will be of great interest. It develops, however, that not only is the oratorio to be pre- sented by the band, but with his char- acteristic push and energy Sorrentino has arranged to have it presented in con-junction with a series of beautiful pictures illustrative, as is the music, of the scenes immediately surrounding the ressurection. These pictures are 30x40 feet in size and are so arranged that as the music proceeds these each merges into the suc- ceeding picture. They are illuminated with fine electrical effects, and form a splendid accompaniment to the music. Indeed the entire result is something ex- quisitely refined and beautiful, and withal exceedingly reverential. The Perosi music is written for chorus, with SQIO parts for Mary Mag- dalene, soprano; the narrator, tenor; Mary, alto; the angel, alto; and the Christ, baritone. The score is wonder- fully brilliant, and is effectively ar- ranged for the band by Sorrentino him- self, the solos being taken by artists es- pecially engaged for that purpose. Altogether, the Banda Rossa festival should prove a veritable feast, not only for Minneapolitans with whom the band is ever a favorite, but with the out-of- town guests who come to Minneapolis to remain during fair week. MINNEAPOLIS GIRL TO SING IN OPERA Miss Magda Dahl Has Act cepted an Engagement with Henry Savage May Sing in Grand Opera Later. «rvy •• TVVTTTTamrnrrnr«TTy•«•Tyrrycryr 1 She Saw One One } s Enough Miss Eleanor Robson, who comes to the Metropolitan Aug. 28 in Israel Zangwill's "Merely Mary Ann," fresh from a successful season at the Duke of York's theater in London, witnessed a bullfight at San Sebastian, Spain, last September. '' It isn 't, a thing that I would ever care to see again," said Miss Robson. Miss Ada Dwyer and I took an auto- mobile trip thru France f/om Dieppe to Bordeaux and thence to Biarritz. At Biarritz we were told that the next day, which was a Sunday, there would be one of the biggest and moat inter- esting bullfights of the season at San Sebastian, just across the border. The king of Spain and everybody who could get there from miles around were going to be in attendance, and it would be a shame, so everybody told us, for us to miss such an t»pportunity to see such a fine example of Spain's national sport. So we went. The king and everybody else were there just as they had said they would be. The amphi- theater was a tremendous place, and the audience numbered—so we were told—something like 60,000 people, in- cluding men, women and children. The king himself was the most uncomfort- able looking person of anybody that I saw there, and after it was all over I could readily understand why he looked that way. "First there was a sort of grand en- try, in which all the toreadors, pica- dors, matadors and all the others took part, decked out in the gayest cos- tumes. It was really a wonderful sight and Miss Dwyer and I enjoyed it thor- oly. While all this was going on, the bull wa's in his cage over at one side of the arena. Alter the procession had filed past the place was cleared, and then a man got up on top of the cage and jabbed a javelin down into the bull's back. The poor beast gave a roar of pain and rage and, the door being opened at the same moment, he rushed out into the middle of the ring and stood there looking round at the crowd as if he wondered what it was all about. After that they began to tease him with a red rag and to do other things which evidently put him in a great rage, and it was quite inter- esting so s^e haw skilfully they could get out of his way. But later on, when they brought ii» the horses, it wasn't so interesting, for me at least, and after one was killed—well, I don't know exact- ly what happened, but I suppose I fainted, for I didn't see anything after- wards, and I was very glad to get out into the open air again. No, I certainly don't want to see a bullfight ever again. '' WILL PERFORM FOR THE i J\ JOURNAL'S LITTLE QUESTS TWO TEAMS THAT WILL HELP'ENTERTAIN LAND NEXT WEEK.

Over the doors leading to the main floor of the auditorium is the 'legend: "There is no place like home—except the Orpheum. ,r There was much truth to this legend last season, and it will be the greatest endeavor of the manage- ment to more firmly establish this truth during the coming season. Curiosity as to the personnel of the opening bill has been 1 rife, and this curiosity will be rewarded to a great extent by the announcement that Nina Morris and company will head the first bill in a sketch displaying to their best advantage the recognized abilities' of this great .legitimate actress. A new Hercules has loomed above the vaudeville horizon sin"ce the Orpheum closed its doors last May, and as a re- sult Francis Gerard, said to be abso- lutely the strongest man in the world, will be offered on this first week's vaudeville bill. A new kind of monologist will also appear—Joe Flynn, aptly described as ' r the man behind the book.'' He has a style unlike that of Lew Sully, George W. Day, "Topical Tompkins'> or any of those heard in monolog here last sea- son. Still another novelty number will be that given by Mile. Emmy's "canine wonders." S. Seigle, a novelty enter- tainer, and the Abon comedy four, to- gether with the kinodrome pictures, will also be on the bill. The Orpheum's seat sale for the open L ing week will begin at 10 o'clock Thursday morning and, thereafter the box office will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. There will be no change of prices. BABY STILL LIVES Little Mite Defies Prediction of In- cubator Expert. In spite of a prediction to the con- trary by no less an authority than Dr. Martin A. Couney, the inventor of the incubator treatment for immaturely and weakly born infants, the '^smallest baby in the world" received at thfc Won- derland institute eleven days ago, still lives. Not only that, but it appears to be thriving. Dr. Couney made the statement that during his experience in treating 1,800 babies since he invented the incuba- tor fifteen years ago, he has never known a child to live that weighed un- der two pounds at birth. He made the trip from New York to Minneapolis especially to see this midget, whioh weighed but one pound and five ounces. He declared a week ago that the baby could not live more than three days, but it is still alive and appears to be getting along well. so pleased with her voice and person- ality that he at once offered her a five-year contract with his opera com- panies. The financial terms were ex- tremely liberal for a young singer with no stage experience, and as the contract calls for an increase of salary every year, Miss Dahl at Once accepted. She has been assigned the role of "Night- ingale" in Gustav Luder's light opera, "Woodland," and will begin rehears- als Aug. 19. Mr. Savage gave Miss Dahl to un- derstand that this would be a training for her, and if she made a success she would be placed in the grand opera company perhaps before the season was over, singing Venus in "Tannhauser" and a prominent part in "Die Wal- kuere," which opera Mr. Savage will make a special feature of this season, as he did "Parsifal" last year. Mr. Savage was enthusiastic over Miss Dahl, saying: ",She has a fine voice and I am sure something can be made of i t . " Miss Dahl had only just accepted an engagement for a year with the Sec- ond Presbyterian church in Newark, N. J. When the church heard of Mr. Savage's offer, she'was not only given her release from the contract, but the position will be held open for her for several months in the event of her not 'i2 J ._«j*" MISS MAGDA DAHL, g *.

The committee and church are so satisfied with her voice and ability as a singer that they are eager to retain her services. The Newark News, in commenting on Miss Dahl's offer to enter opera, says: "Miss, Dahl is gifted with a pure, strong "and sympathetic soprano, whose tones readily lend themselves to the dramatic coloring of music, and the fresh and musical quality impart unu- sual charm to her singing." Miss Dahl's success is gratifying to her many Minneapolis friends, and to no one more so than to Mrs. Anna Smith Behrens, of whom for years she has been a pupil and protege. Mrs. Behrens has practically given Miss Dahl all her musical education, feel- ing confident that some day her pupil would win honors in the musical world. A Favorite to Open the Bijou Beautiful in new decorations, better equipped than ever before to provide convenience, comfort and safety to its patrons, the Bijou opera house will open with the,. Sunday matinee, Sept. 3. for the initial week of the fall and winter season. The work of redeeoration and rehabilitation is not yet complete, but it is promised that everything will be ready in time. The many improvements that have been made are sure to please patrons immensely. With the work that has been done, the Bijou can easily rank with any of the theaters in the northwest. In melodrama there are none so good as the old favorites, and Jacob Litt's production of "In Old Kentucky," which will be the opening attraction of the Bijou's fall season, tho it has been seen here on former occasions, will, on this occasion, undoubtedly attract the same generous support from all classes of theater-goers. One does not have to go below the surface to discover the elements which make for the success of the piece. It is bountifully supplied with that homely sentiment which never fails to appeal to the emotions; it has an abundance of comedy, and it reveals a delightful romance of the southland. The merry little coterie of pickaninnies: always identified with the play, will be strongly in evidence again. The play is always satisfactorily cast, but this season's company is said to be much better than ever before. A fine scenie production, all new, has been provided , for this year's presentation. Plans jor the Dewey's Season The sixth season of the Dewey thea- ter opens Sunday, Aug. 20, with "Wil- liams' Ideals," a new production. The Dewey will be entirely overhauled, re- decorated in terra cotta, russet and gold and will have a new system of ventilation by the fan air shaft sys- tem. The map of the Empire circuit of theaters this season embraces theaters in all large cities from New York to San Francisco, with a theatrical sea- son of forty-three weeks. Among the new houses added to the chain are houses in Denver, Butte, Salt Lake, Se- attle, Spokane, Portland and Omaha, which, in conjunction with the eastern and middle west theaters and San Francisco, the Empire circuit will as- sure all road companies in the burlesque and vaudeville line of an entire sea- son's bookings. All companies will travel in their private cars, and among the new ideas will be the establishment of a fund of $30,000, created by pro-rata assess- ments on the theaters forming the cir- cuit. This fund will be used to pay railroad fares for all companies play- ing this territory. In this way the railroad fares will be equalized and the company opening their first engage- ment, jumping from fjteyr York to Port- land, will pay the same fare as the one jumping from New York to Toronto. A number of new shows will be seen at the Dewey theater this season. Minneapolis will be delighted at the chance of once more listening to Mad- ame Anna Hellstrom, the famous Swed- ish singer who has captivated all. At the Swedish Tabernacle next Monday evening she will sing in a concert for the benefit of the Swedish Lutheran Bethlehe'Vn church of North Minneap- olis. The price will be only 50 cents for any seat in the house. Mme. Hellstrom has not been inac- tive since her great triumph at the Auditorium last Wednesday night. Thursday evening she sang to a large and enthusiastic audience at People's church in St. Paul, scoring another im- f iortant success with the press and pub- ic of the saintly city. Friday night she captivated Stillwater, the spacious First Presbyterian church being crowd- ed to the doors. By request, Mme. Hellstrom will sing the aria from "Daughter of the Regi- ment '' Monday night, together with a number of sacred songs never before sung by her in America, such as "How Sweet to Enter the Temple of the Lord," by Dannstrom, and "Psalm 451,'' by Prince Gustavus. Appropriate numbers will be ren- dered by the Orpheus club, which so distinguished itself on the occasion of the Hellstrom concert at the Audi- torium. Solos will be rendered by Miss Chris- tine Nilsson, the pianist, and Walter Stenvig, the violinist. Tickets will be for sale all day Mon- day from 9 a.m. at the Swedish Taber- nacle. Grandma Mott's Advice to Travelers. "You should not travel about the country this warm weather without a bottle of Chamberlain's ColieC Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Kate Mott, of Fairfield, Iowa, or "Grandma Mott," as she is familiarly known. "One or two doses of this remedy will always cure the worst case of summer complaint. We keep it always at hand, in fact we could not keep house without it."

LYCEUM—"The Sorceress." Next week at the Lyceum theater

Sardou's latest play, " T h e Sorceress ," will be presented for the first time on any stage in the west, or in the country, save for a very few eastern cities, m which Mrs. Patr ick Campbell played it for a short time last season.

Minneapolis is fortunate to have an opportunity of seeing so early this won-

'derful drama of Spam in the sixteenth century, wri t ten by the great h e n c h ­man who is avowedly the greatest liv­ing dramatist and one of the greatest plav-writers who ever lived.

Florence Stone, whose successes in the Sardou roles have been repeated season after season, will appropriately play t l ^ t i t le role. Mr. Ferris promises tha t the stage settings and mountings of ' ' The Sorceress" phall be elaborate and su­perb. A careful study of the period has been made by the Lyceum scenic art ists and costumers, and the result will be a series of pictures of l a rbar ic medieval beauty and impressive picturesqueness.

The story of ' ' The Sorceress' ' is laid near and in the city of Toledo, Spain', in the early part or the sixteenth cen­tury. The persecution of the Moors, with its at tendant horrors of the inqui­sition, is at its height. Zoiava, the so-called sorceress, is a beautiful Moorish -woman, educated in the Moorish learn­ing of the day, and on' account of her wonderful cures is believed by the su­perstitious Spaniards to be a sorceress. She is captured by Spanish soldiers and exercises the wiles of her beauty upon thPir cpptam Don Enrique Palacios, who is engaged to the daughter of the governor of Toledo. They fall in love with each other, and the course of this ill-starred love affair and the complica­tions to which it gives rise form the basis of the poweiful story.

The cast follows: Don Enrique de Palacios . . . Lawrence Grattan I'adllla, Governor of Toledo . Chas Llndholm Caidlnal Xlmenes Stuart Beebe Kamlio, a soldier Charles Stuart A shepherd James Wiley Cleofas, a pin slclan Lawi enee Barbour Fare/, a mulediiver Hany Hamilton Calabazas, a monk Richardson Cotton Don Ambrosio Fred Ambrose Cardenos Ernest Fisher Ziiguir, a servant to Zoraya.. .Georjtiania Haves OHveira, a phjsiclau Hany Plympton Molina, a monk Fred Aldrich Arias, a soldier Fred Brownson Gil Andres, a jailer Chas C Burnham Juana, daughter of Padilla . .Rose Currie Aisha, seivant to Zorava . . . Jane Hampton Afrida, a hag . . Kate Woods Fiske Fatoum, servant to Juana Leah Le Force Minuela, a prisoner . . . . Marietta Ciaig Svrena, a Spanish lady Pearl Fowler Itufina, a Spanish lady Minnie McTague Zoraya . . Florence Stone

' ' The masses receive patriotic songs and national airs with cheers and whis­tles; tender familiar and religious songs are hardly enjoyed, and solos receive many encores. Yet thruout my experi­ence as leader of the United States Marine band and my present organiza­tion very good music has always been requested and enthusiastically received.

puts on the heaviest bill of the year—nine specialties being on the pro­gram. Koler and Seymour, who are billed as "comedians who can s i n g , " are the headhners. Probablv next m popularity will be Charles Howison, the Chicago whistler, who imitates musical instruments and birds. A novel turn will be contributed by Clem C. Magee, a lightning crayon artist , who is also a singing an-d dancing comedian. He is said to be just as clever with his feet as with his hands. Belle Verna, a co­medienne who gives character imperso­nat ions; the three Auburns, juvenile change artists, and James Bingham, a ventriloquist, are the other entertainers.

The playlet will be furnished by Han-ford and Har t and is entitled ' ' The De­tective and the M a i d . " As usual, there will be illustrated songs and moving pictures. One film will be of especial

i interest, as i t shows the Russian army on a forced march in Manchuria. The Unique will continue the feature of gift matinees for ladies Tuesdays and Fri­days The usual amateur show will be given Fr iday night, the programs at both performances being furnished by volunteers.

«bandmaster is bet ter known m the * large cities of the east

A few months ago Fanciulli took par t in one of the most interesting competi­tions ever conducted by a newspaper. The New York Globe invited some of the greatest bandmasters to submit pro­grams, which to their mind were best suited to the public taste. I t is worthy of note tha t of the twelve numbeis Fanciulli selected, nine were incorpor­ated in the program finally chosen.

Fanciulli contributed the following article giving the reasons for his se­lections: " I n my opinion popular music is the music which arouses the bet ter emotions in the listener. Not pnly do we like to hear i t , but we feel

*the desire, I may say the need., of it . f}Aside from being inspiring it is built on logical and artistic lines and i t will •always remain popu la r . "

" S u c h a composition is 'Tannhau­ser. ' I t cannot be said tha t 'Tannhau-hauser ' is popular because i t is melodi­ous or tuneful. I t requires an accom­plished musician to memorize any par t of it except the 'Pi lgr im Chorus.' The enthusiasm is aroused by its wonderful orchestral effects, the extraordinary originality which is displayed, is still

* required to perform it and the grand­eur of the finale, which again brings in

. the maiestic strains of the 'Pi lgr im •>. fChorus.' I t resembles a grand ora-

**" so-called popular hits. There are many <, of these which, were i t not for abuse, "» would at ta in some lasting popularity, sj,., but on account of the constant 'drum-£ ming ' which they receive, they lose K their temporary favor. There are also 1£ many ' h i t s ' which are not good musical

r compositions a t all, but which a t ta in t an artificial popularity by being im­

posed upon the public. % f " F o l k songs are always popular in

~f' the communities where they have their \ origin. They are in a way closely al-' „ lied with national airs and in consider-| t ing what music is popular these two ft forms should be given a prominent

place. A good rythmical march is a7ways popular and i t is natural tha t it should be. As nature provided for man the necessity to walk in measured strides, any kind of noise tha t helps the

The question, " C a n a woman rea­s o n ? " has been variously answered, but all authorities agree that she is a little weak on mathematics, which means on the computation of time and distance. This was brought forcibly home to Charles F . Towle, manager of the " B e n H u r " company, and L. N. Scott, man­ager of the Metropolitan op^rahouse, one afternoon while standing in front of the theater when the spectacle was presented in this city two seasons ago. Both gentlemen were in right good humor and were talking about the im­mense success and big business the Wal­lace play was enjoying, when they were accosted by a representative of the So­ciety for the Prevention of Crueltv to Animals. This gentleman, upon intro­ducing himself, told the managers tha t his society had been notified by a lady, who had seen " B e n H u r " the night be­fore, that the horses in the chariot race were cruelly treated. She said tha t Messala and Ben Hur lashed them with whips and pushed those magnificent ani­mals forward with breakneck speed for an uninterrupted period of a t least eight minutes.

' ' I s tha t t r u e ? " said Mr. Scott. " I regret to say it i s , " replied the

society man. I t happened tha t a mati­nee was in progress, and as it was then about 4 o'clock, Mr. Scott remarked to the agent tha t the chariot race would run in a few minutes, and tha t if he would, go into the theater and watch for himself he would be able to make an intelligent report to his society.

Mr Scott ushered the agent to a seat, and left him with the part ing in-junc-t ion: " N o w don ' t forget your watch; catch the time on the race. Keep your eye on the drivers ra ther than on the horses, to see whether or not they are really touched by whips, because the facts of the mat ter are tha t the whips are whirled and cracked above the heads of the horses, but never touch t h e m . "

Ten minutes later the agent of the society came out rubbing his bewildered eyes._ With a wave of his hand, he ex­claimed: " T h a t race is not long enough. I t is the best thing I ever saw. '

" W e l l , report that to your soc ie ty ," said Mr. Scott, " a n d I think it will be

SQM$ENTINO TO PRESENT^^ *A

PEROSI'S NEW ORATORIO h* ¥•

EUGENIO SORRENTINO. Conductor of th« Famous Banda Rossa at the Auditorium Fair Week.

One of the most notable offerings in the musical world of Minneapolis is that of the Banda Rossa, the announce­ment of whose appearance here during fair week at the Auditorium, appears m another, column. In addition to the magnificent repertoiie of band music, played as only the Banda Rossa can play it , Conductor Sorrentino has ar­ranged to present Perosi 's " T h e Resur­rection of Chr i s t , " an oratorio wri t ten by Don Loienzo Perosi, a young Ro­man Catholic priest.

This will be the first presentation in America of any of Perosi 's works and, considering tha t they have been truly epoch-making in I taly, the birthplace of the composer, the occasion will be of great interest. I t develops, however, tha t not only is the oratorio to be pre­sented by the band, but with his char­acteristic push and energy Sorrentino has arranged to have i t presented in con-junction with a series of beautiful pictures i l lustrative, as is the music, of

the scenes immediately surrounding the ressurection.

These pictures are 30x40 feet in size and are so arranged that as the music proceeds these each merges into the suc­ceeding picture. They are illuminated with fine electrical effects, and form a splendid accompaniment to the music. Indeed the entire result is something ex­quisitely refined and beautiful, and withal exceedingly reverential.

The Perosi music is wri t ten for chorus, with SQIO pa r t s for Mary Mag­dalene, soprano; the narrator, tenor; Mary, al to; the angel, al to; and the Christ, baritone. The score is wonder­fully brilliant, and is effectively ar­ranged for the band by Sorrentino him­self, the solos being taken by art ists es­pecially engaged for tha t purpose.

Altogether, the Banda Rossa festival should prove a veritable feast, not only for Minneapolitans with whom the band is ever a favorite, but with the out-of-town guests who come to Minneapolis to remain during fair week.

She Saw One One}s Enough

Miss Eleanor Robson, who comes to the Metropolitan Aug. 28 in Israel Zangwill 's "Mere ly Mary A n n , " fresh from a successful season at the Duke of York 's theater in London, witnessed a bullfight at San Sebastian, Spain, last September.

' ' I t isn ' t , a thing tha t I would ever care to see a g a i n , " said Miss Robson.

Miss Ada Dwyer and I took an auto­mobile tr ip thru France f/om Dieppe to Bordeaux and thence to Biarritz. At Biarritz we were told tha t the next day, which was a Sunday, there would be one of the biggest and moat inter­esting bullfights of the season a t San Sebastian, just across the border. The king of Spain and everybody who could get there from miles around were going to be in attendance, and i t would be a shame, so everybody told us, for us to miss such an t»pportunity to see such a fine example of Spain 's national sport. So we went. The king and everybody else were there just as they had said they would be. The amphi­theater was a tremendous place, and the audience numbered—so we were told—something like 60,000 people, in­cluding men, women and children. The king himself was the most uncomfort­able looking person of anybody tha t I saw there, and after it was all over I could readily understand why he looked tha t way.

" F i r s t there was a sort of grand en­try, in which all the toreadors, pica­dors, matadors and all the others took part , decked out in the gayest cos­tumes. I t was really a wonderful sight and Miss Dwyer and I enjoyed i t thor-oly. While all this was going on, the bull wa's in his cage over a t one side of the arena. Al te r the procession had filed past the place was cleared, and then a man got up on top of the cage and jabbed a javelin down into the bul l ' s back. The poor beast gave a roar of pain and rage and, the door being opened a t the same moment, he rushed out into the middle of the ring and stood there looking round at the crowd as if he wondered what i t was all about. After tha t they began to tease him with a red rag and to do other things which evidently put him in a great rage, and i t was quite inter­esting so s^e haw skilfully they could get out of his way.

But later on, when they brought ii» the horses, i t wasn ' t so interesting, for me at least, and after one was killed—well, I don ' t know exact­ly what happened, but I suppose I fainted, for I d idn ' t see anything after­wards, and I was very glad to get out into the open air again. No, I certainly don ' t want to see a bullfight ever again. ' '

The Orpheum's First Offerings

Modern vaudeville will again be on the list of public amusements when the Orpheum opens i ts doors and its sec­ond season Sunday afternoon, Aug. 20. Over the doors leading to the main floor of the auditorium is the 'legend: " T h e r e is no place like home—except the Orpheum. , r There was much t ru th to this legend last season, and it will be the greatest endeavor of the manage­ment to more firmly establish th is t ru th during the coming season.

Curiosity as to the personnel of the opening bill has been1 rife, and this curiosity will be rewarded to a great extent by the announcement tha t Nina Morris and company will head the first bill in a sketch displaying to their best advantage the recognized abil i t ies ' of this great .legitimate actress.

A new Hercules has loomed above the vaudeville horizon sin"ce the Orpheum closed its doors last May, and as a re­sult Francis Gerard, said to be abso­lutely the strongest man in the world, will be offered on this first week 's vaudeville bill.

A new kind of monologist will also appear—Joe Flynn, aptly described as ' r t he man behind the book. ' ' He has a style unlike tha t of Lew Sully, George W. Day, "Topica l Tompkins'> or any of those heard in monolog here last sea­son.

Still another novelty number will be tha t given by Mile. Emmy's " c a n i n e wonders . " S. Seigle, a novelty enter­tainer, and the Abon comedy four, to­gether with the kinodrome pictures, will also be on the bill.

The Orpheum's seat sale for the openL

ing week will begin at 10 o'clock Thursday morning and, thereafter the box office will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. There will be no change of prices.

BABY STILL LIVES

Lit t le Mite Defies Prediction of In­cubator Expert .

In spite of a prediction to the con­t ra ry by no less an authori ty than Dr. Martin A. Couney, the inventor of the incubator t reatment for immaturely and weakly born infants, the '^smallest baby in the w o r l d " received at thfc Won­derland insti tute eleven days ago, still lives. Not only that , but it appears to be thriving.

Dr. Couney made the statement tha t during his experience in t reat ing 1,800 babies since he invented the incuba­tor fifteen years ago, he has never known a child to live tha t weighed un­der two pounds a t bir th. He made the tr ip from New York to Minneapolis especially to see this midget, whioh weighed but one pound and five ounces. He declared a week ago tha t the baby could not live more than three days, but i t is still alive and appears to be gett ing along well.

so pleased with her voice and person­ality that he at once offered her a five-year contract with his opera com­panies. The financial terms were ex­tremely liberal for a young singer with no stage experience, and as the contract calls for an increase of salary every year, Miss Dahl at Once accepted. She has been assigned the role of " N i g h t ­i n g a l e " in Gustav Luder ' s light opera, " W o o d l a n d , " and will begin rehears­als Aug. 19.

Mr. Savage gave Miss Dahl to un­derstand tha t this would be a training for her, and if she made a success she would be placed in the grand opera company perhaps before the season was over, singing Venus in " T a n n h a u s e r " and a prominent par t in " D i e Wal-k u e r e , " which opera Mr. Savage will make a special feature of this season, as he did " P a r s i f a l " last year.

Mr. Savage was enthusiastic over Miss Dahl, saying: ",She has a fine voice and I am sure something can be made of i t . "

Miss Dahl had only just accepted an engagement for a year with the Sec­ond Presbyterian church in Newark, N. J . When the church heard of Mr. Savage 's offer, she 'was not only given her release from the contract, but the position will be held open for her for several months in the event of her not

finding operatic work to her liking. The committee and church are so

satisfied with her voice and ability as a singer tha t they are eager to retain her services.

The Newark News, in commenting on Miss Dahl 's offer to enter opera, says: " M i s s , Dahl is gifted with a pure, strong "and sympathetic soprano, whose tones readily lend themselves to the dramatic coloring of music, and the fresh and musical quality impart unu­sual charm to her s ing ing ."

Miss Dahl ' s success is gratifying to her many Minneapolis friends, and to no one more so than to Mrs. Anna Smith Behrens, of whom for years she has been a pupil and protege. Mrs. Behrens has practically given Miss Dahl all her musical education, feel­ing confident tha t some day her pupil would win honors in the musical world.

A Favorite to Open the Bijou

Beautiful in new decorations, bet ter equipped than ever before to provide convenience, comfort and safety to i t s patrons, the Bijou opera house will open with the,. Sunday matinee, Sept. 3. for the initial week of the fall and winter season. The work of redeeoration and rehabilitation is not yet complete, but i t is promised tha t everything will be ready in time. The many improvements tha t have been made are sure to please patrons immensely. With the work tha t has been done, the Bijou can easily rank with any of the theaters in the northwest.

In melodrama there are none so good as the old favorites, and Jacob L i t t ' s production of " I n Old K e n t u c k y , " which will be the opening at tract ion of the Bijou's fall season, tho i t has been seen here on former occasions, will, on this occasion, undoubtedly a t t rac t the same generous support from all classes of theater-goers. One does not have to go below the surface to discover the elements which make for the success of the piece. I t is bountifully supplied with tha t homely sentiment which never fails to appeal to the emotions; i t has an abundance of comedy, and i t reveals a delightful romance of the southland. The merry l i t t le coterie of pickaninnies: always identified with the play, will be strongly in evidence again. The play is always satisfactorily cast, but th is season's company is said to be much bet ter than ever before. A fine scenie production, all new, has been provided

, for th is y e a r ' s presentation.

Plans jor the Dewey's Season

The sixth season of the Dewey thea­ter opens Sunday, Aug. 20, with " W i l ­l iams ' I d e a l s , " a new production. The Dewey will be entirely overhauled, re­decorated in terra cotta, russet and gold and will have a new system of ventilation by the fan air shaft sys­tem.

The map of the Empire circuit of theaters this season embraces theaters in all large cities from New York to San Francisco, with a theatrical sea­son of forty-three weeks. Among the new houses added to the chain are houses in Denver, Butte, Salt Lake, Se­att le, Spokane, Portland and Omaha, which, in conjunction with the eastern and middle west theaters and San Francisco, the Empire circuit will as­sure all road companies in the burlesque and vaudeville line of an entire sea­son's bookings.

All companies will travel in their private cars, and among the new ideas will be the establishment of a fund of $30,000, created by pro-rata assess­ments on the theaters forming the cir­cuit. This fund will be used to pay railroad fares for all companies play­ing this terri tory. In this way the railroad fares will be equalized and the company opening their first engage­ment, jumping from fjteyr York to Port­land, will pay the same fare as the one jumping from New York to Toronto.

A number of new shows will be seen at the Dewey theater th is season.

Minneapolis will be delighted a t the chance of once more listening to Mad­ame Anna Hellstrom, the famous Swed­ish singer who has captivated all. At the Swedish Tabernacle next Monday evening she will sing in a concert for the benefit of the Swedish Lutheran Bethlehe'Vn church of North Minneap­olis. The price will be only 50 cents for any seat in the house.

Mme. Hellstrom has not been inac­t ive since her great triumph a t the Auditorium last Wednesday night. Thursday evening she sang to a large and enthusiastic audience a t People 's church in St. Paul , scoring another im-

f iortant success with the press and pub­ic of the saintly city. Fr iday night

she captivated Stillwater, the spacious First Presbyterian church being crowd­ed to the doors.

By request, Mme. Hellstrom will sing the aria from " D a u g h t e r of the Regi­ment ' ' Monday night, together with a number of sacred songs never before sung by her in America, such as " H o w Sweet to Enter the Temple of the L o r d , " by Dannstrom, and " P s a l m 4 5 1 , ' ' by Prince Gustavus.

Appropriate numbers will be ren­dered by the Orpheus club, which so distinguished itself on the occasion of the Hellstrom concert a t the Audi­torium.

Solos will be rendered by Miss Chris­tine Nilsson, the pianist, and Walter Stenvig, the violinist.

Tickets will be for sale all day Mon­day from 9 a.m. at the Swedish Taber­nacle.
