Zerllna, and Cberublno at th Metropolitan Opera House, 1 appearing In vaudeville in New York for the first time thla week at the Colonial Theatre After several other acts have had their turn, the curtain rise to disclose a grand piano. Presently Mme. de Lussan. clad In flowing silks and with a picture hat.

Habanera from Carmen In French, then two songs In English, Maud ute Spring." and a song by an English composer called "The Bee." and finally La Paloma." In Bpanlah. It la thla last which aroused the audience to the greatest pitch of enthusiasm. After she left the stage yesterday the singer saw a reporter for Th Tikis in her dressing room, where she talked of herself and vaudeville. A a matter of fact. Mme.

de Lussan quite a much an operatic star aa she waa before she made the plunge." as it is called. She hr.d been singing with the Moody-Manners English Opera Company In England until she came to America for this vaudeville tour, and she intend to return to opera. Besides her conversation is liberally sprinkled with references to Jean," an operatic notability who is never referred to by hi last name by those who sing. I have found vaudeville delightful," she said. and I have had much success.

This New York week is one of the last of my contract, as I have been singing through the West, In Chicago, and way to the coast. Everywhere it ha been the same. I seem to be expected to sing the for my name is so largely identified with but I sometimes vary this with the Styrienne from and Scene That Are Brightest from Then I follow with two English song and I I have tried songs by Landon Ronald with success. I am a little afraid Tonti. but I may sing a song or two or nis.

You see. I don try to educate my audiences. I try to please them, but 1 think they can just as well be pleased with songs which are good in themselves. There Is nothing tasteless about melody. "Songs like, Comln Thro the Annie Home, Sweet and tho like I carefully avoid.

They are songs that every one does." THE KNE1SEL QUARTET. Last Concert of the Season Devoted to Dvorak, Brahms, and Schumann. The Knelsel Quartet finished Its season last evening with its sixth concert in Mendelssohn Hall, in which It gave a programme that presented no perplexities or problems to any of its listener. The three works that were heard were modern works, all beautiful In the type of beauty universally accepted by lovers of chamber music Dvorak's string quartet. Op.

07; Brahma's piano trio. Op. 8, and the first of Schumann' three string quartets. Dvorak's quintet is one of the three works he produced while he waa In this country, and by his own avowal, under Influences which Impressed him here and of which he found characteristic expression. It is among his most spontaneous and fluent outpourings, and full of rhythmic and melodic traits which, though they may not make an immortal work, will long exercise their spell.

It ia associated in a special way with the Knelsel Quartet, which waa the first to play it in laiMi, and Indeed was the first to give the composer a hearing of his own creation. It may therefore be supposed that Mr. Knelsel. though he ha not played it here for a considerable number of years, plays It with an especial fondness and also with an especial authority. There was a fine spirit and gusto in Its performance last evening, a contagious spirit and vivacity that reached their highest point in the exuberant last movement that Is full of the suggestion of the dance.

Mr. Joseph J. Kavarik. viola, was the fifth player, and gave a wholly admirable contribution to the ensemble. Brabms's trio is also in a special way associated with New York, for the records show that it, too, was first publicly performed in this city, a year after the composer had finished it.

The revision to which he subjected it near the close of his life testifies to the affection he had for this early work.

Large and Enthusiastic Audience at Metropolitan Revival. Die WalkOre. the second drama in th series of th Ring dei Nlbelongen, which I being given 'In Ha entirety at the Metropolitan Opera House thla week. was performed last night, Th audience was very large, and the enthusiasm and interest were so great that the expressed fear that Wagner la becoming tiresome need not be taken seriously. Kvery one who sang last night has appeared before this season In thla music drama.

Mr. Burgstaller on a former occasion found himself unable to sing th music allotted to him on account of evei hoarseness. Last night he suo-ceeditd in doing better, but still hi hoarseneas clung to him. and aa a consequence his intonation was often false. He also persisted, most of the evening, in shouting the music according to the Balruuth fashion, and much of It suffered under this treatment.

Van Rooy th Wotan. and Mr. Blass th Huntllng. Ther waa a notable gathering of Walkuren. After all.
