28 "COON" SONGS IN YIDDISH AT EAST SIDE MUSIC HALLS Where the Families of the Crowded Ghetto Find 'Amusement in the Highland; Fling Transformed' Into a Yiddish Dance and in the Strains of Upidee." Within a atone' throw of th Bowery In a. street that forme one of the natural arteries for the flow of metropolitan life from the wwt to the east side, an entertainment Is in progress nightly which represents perhaps as emphatically as almost anything else the strenuous effort of the Ghetto population at adapting Itself to local conditions. In Its externals the little east side music hall at once proclaims its individuality. The barker so conspicuous and noisy before the Bowery houses of a similar nature, is here, too, armed with his little rattan for the subjugation of unruly small boys; hut, unlike the Bowery "barker," this an is nnt Imiit nnnthMlh haI proclaim the attraction within In strident tones, being chiefly -engaged In telling casual psssers-by that the "show Is about to begin and It's the best yet." Flamboyant posters of short-skirted girls Bo not flaunt themselves In the lobby; Instead there Is a frescoor. say, rather a kauiomlna the picture representing a Jew-Ish king in an olive garden.

On a blackboard the scale of prices of admission, ranging from 10 cents to 35 cents. Is posted conspicuously. But the visitor need not put his hand In his pocket at least not yet. For the board is obviously designed to keep out those who have no money at all. and any one who meets the approval of the doorkeeper may enter free.

Once Inside a stalwart young man greets the visitor affably, and if his appearance Is promising Invites him to go 1n "the boxes." Boxes, by the way. is a misnomer. Tha place referred to consists of a semicircular balcony raised some seven or eight feet from the floor and on a level with the atage. At the rear of the little hall a similar balcony already welt filled with peo-jple. among the number being many women.

One notea the absence of the bedlsened, -blcndined ferns les so conspicuous in the Bowery music halls. The family party Is noticeable respectable, neatly-dressed people, husband, wife, and possibly several sons and The music hall la a converted store. At ne end a tiny stage has been erected and is now concealed from view by a drop curtain. The walla of the theatre are kalso-znlnef after the fsshlon of the lobby; with figures and landscapes drawn In the colossal scale. In one picture a youth and a maiden are gliding In a boat- on bottle-green waters, while he plays a mandolin, and sings to her.

In another two women are llatenlna- to the Carolina? of fain in red and yellow garden. The drop curtain Is decorated with a picture of King Aha-uerus giving audience to Queen Esther. Once seated, a waiter ia oulrklv not Insistent, but ready to take orders for beer, pop, or sarsaparilla. In the course ot the evening a boy with a tray of sweet-v meats makes his way up and down the aisles, his offerings Including chocolate bars, peppermints, and cough A toop-shouldered man peddles seed rolls between the vaudeville numbers and finds plenty of buyers as the evening drags itself out. The statement of the "barker" at the ifloor Is not entirely borne out in fact.

The how does not begin for some time. Instead, an orchestra, composed of violin, cornet, piano, and drum Is playing popular airs. After possibly half an hour's wait it Is now half-past S-tbe curtain rolls up amid applause, and the little stage is revealed lighted by a row of tiny footlights. Indeed, tiny Is the word that best describes the entire place. It suggests a doll's, theatre.

The stage is set to represent a garden, and grouped on It are seen half a dosen women and as many men. The women wear short skirts of some thin, cllng- ua im ungni coiors, reo noieros, and Jaunty caps. The men are clad In knee trousers of red and yellow, striped'shirts, and they wear fur busbies on their heads. Two or three-of the women are more than passably good looking. mere is a ware irom me orchestra and they begin to sing.

The words are unln-telllgble Hebrew or Ylddish-but there is something insistently familiar about the air. "What is It? One wonders, but music is so difficult to place at times. One of the women comes to the centre cf -the stage. There is loud applause from the. "boxes." "She's one of our best dancers," vouchsafes a talkative, waiter.

"Did you ever see a Yiddish dance? The visitor admits that ha haun tt. in curious to see hat It Is like. And now he Is having hi curiosity gratified, but, what's Yiddish dance, Well, there may have been some doubt about the music, but there Is none as to this dance. It Is our good old friend The Highland Fling." and the variation that follows on the part of another woman is "The Bailor's Hornpipe." What's the use of having gone dancing school in boyhood's happy. days If one can'tf recall and name the stunts of the star girl pupils In those faraway times? But though there Is nothing foreign in the dances, they are pleasing, for the girls re graceful and enter into their labors with a vim.

More chorus, "and then a tail, dark man comes forward and sings In a deep bass voice. Suddenly the visitor remembers. It's that old favorite air from Th. n. Baron." Harry De Lorme, now acting in Resurrection used to sing It with In his old days In comic opera.

TP9 know how 'tis p. ray. ouch tua. But the words here are unintelligible. Then the curtain falls, and the dark man appears a little later In an Irish mak-un.

But there-are no eggs, despite the fact that he. wears brick-dust. red whiskers and talks with a brogue that never yet be longed to a Brophy, a Murphy, or a Flan- ngan. ia attempts at humor he ad-. dresses himself almost entirely to the English-speaking part of the audience are sbout the broadest part of the show likewise about the least meritorious, but the man does some imitations, finally, that are clever.

Then there are more songs words Yiddish set to familiar coon tunes A quartet that makes the biggest sort of a hit sings a dosyi or more verses of which the only words are: V.la inrama.t lB wei sleg- wetse la sieg-rwelse sleg- Translated this conveys the Information "mamma has a white goat." It Is sung to Uptdee," an air familiar in Yale song hooks. When the audience refuses to be satisfied with the of t-repeated "phrase th singers vary It by substituting the word schwas," (black.) for the announcement that "mamma has a black goat" evokes no end of hilarity. Thn comes a surprise for the visitor. inus tar tne entertainment has been along English vaudeville lines. Now comes something native.

The curtain rolls up and discloses a scene representing aqualld room. A man and hU wife are Quarreling In a soap-bos cradle a baby is squawking. The woman upbraids the man for gambling. He is repentant at last, and agrees to play no more. Then she puts on her shaw) and departs for tha sweat shop.

The man attempts to'soothe the child. While he la thus engaged Several of his companions enter. They chaff him and then invite him to come and Join them at cards. He refuses and their derision knows no bounds. Finally, in despair, he tells them he haa no money'.

Then one Of the men tells him his wife has made a fool of him. She has money." he says, all of which she hides from you." The husband cannot believe this at first, but, goaded on by his friends, he besjlns to search. Ilnally In an old trunk he finds coin hidden away. Then amid the laughter of his companions he goes out to seek the woman whom he believes unfaithful. He' n-eets her in the street, and a scene of brutal realism follows.

"Walt for the last sketch." says the sympathetic usher, who notes the visitor has been moved by the unpleasant spectacle. It funny. You'll laugh." More vaudeville and then comes the sketch referred to. It Is called "The Tailor Shop." The tailor's assistants hsve been to the theatre and become stage-struck. Tbey engage a man to tench them how to act.

And their efforts to learn how to do so provides the comic relief so much appreciated everywhere. About Lost Bankbooks.

CONEY ISLAND REJUVENATED A "World's fair to be the Feature this Summer. The spirit of consolidation began to make itself telt at Coney Island several seasons ago.

and gradually the multitudinous small cjnusemnt enterprises have been and are being either absorbed or forced out of business by their big rivals. In which more and more money being employed each year. The many dingy and Ill-ventilated dance halls, for Instance, have almost disappeared, and in their stead have appeared the. great halls with immense floor space, where orchestras relieve each other In furnishing music for crowds of dancers. Other enterprises have been consolidated on th same scale, until the competition and the subsequent elaboration of the amusement schemes have made Coney Island pleasure seekers discriminating In their tastes.

It will soon become Impossible for the small and cheap affair to get the business. The latest of these amusement trusts to Invade Coney Island Is as Luna Park, and its attractions in the aggregate are to be known as The New York World's Fair." 'This enterprise will be on a scale larger than has been attempted before by any private corporation In the country. It will epen on May 2. and has been built at a cost of more than 1,000,000. It covers an area of twenty-two acres, and is a complete Coney Island In Itself, designed to combine all the pleasing and spectacular features ef a world's fair; with spacious courts and avenues, canals, snd electrical Illuminations similar but on a smaller scale, to those of the exposition at Buffalo.

There are colonnades and peristyles to aid th architectural effect, and scattered about th grounds are 132 towers for electrical display. Within the grounds wtu be forty different "shows." The original of these, "A Trip to the Moon," has been in operation on the Island for several seasons, and excursionists are familiar with It. Among the additional features In this line will be the original productions of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea." War of Worlds." The Naval Spectatortum." The River 8tyx.f "Shooting the White Horse Rapids." The Grand Canyon and Forty-nine Mining Camp," 't The Whirl of the Town," "Dragoon Rouge." Overland and Incline also the Japanese. Phil. Ippine, Irish, Eskimo, and German Villages, the Infant Incubator, the Water 8how' Casino snd Hippodrome, and Yellowstone Park.

Borne bf the buHdlngs are the larg. est ever erected for amusement purposes. The A Trip to the Moon building has a ground floor area of 30.000 square feet and I TO feet high. Th Casino Is 150 by 300 feet, and the Naval Spectatortum 800 by '300 feet. The Utter will represent th Harbor of New York being bombarded by a foreign fleet The spectators will be seated in a fortress manned with full-slsed guns pei rated by soldiers, and before them win stretch out a fleet, apparently running five miles in the dlaUnc.

Each boat, of which there are thirty, will operated by its own machinery and engines, and each will take an active part In ths bombardment of tho fortress. Part of ths fortress. In which th spectators will seated, will be blown up snd the ships of war will be shot, struck' exploded, and sunk.

TUCKED snugly away on the States Island pier at the terminal of the ferry from New York, about the last place In the metropolis any man looking for a shave would expect to find It la a little barber's shop. It Is snug snd shipshape, about the slse of the barber's shop on a modern ocean liner. There are two chairs In It, and as a customer leans back In either one of them 'and catches a reflection of the dancing waters In the bay on the mirrors he might-almost imagine himself at sea. -'A New York man who found the place by accident on morning last week, and who sought a shave while waiting for the uext half-hourly boat, was told that Staten Islanders who do business In Manhattan and Just miss the boat." are the chief patrons of the shop.

At first you do not know anything about danger and don't think about it. but after you have had a long experience you know that there Is always danger, snd you are more carefuL But with, all your care you can't prevent heavy falls, and I have had a great many of them.

One of the worst waa In Leicester, England. Iwas driving Evergreen on a track where we had to make a short turn. He turned too fast and we tipped over. I foolishly held on to the lines snd he dragged me on to an Iron step, where I hit my head and had concussion of the brain, and for six weeks after that first day, when 1 was conscious for a little while, I didn't know anything. I waa taken to the hospital snd they, performed a serious operation, boring up from the mouth to the brain, letting oft the blood, when para to my senses.

As soon ss I could get out I began to drive again, going out with Evergreen, and at first with my nurse and than alone. I thought at that time that I had surely lost my nerve. Every time that horse lifted his heels I was frightened. It la a dreadful thing to afraid of a horse. I didn't say much about It, but 1 used to cry by myself, for7l thought I could never do anything again.

Mr. Harris pooh-poohed when found out something of how I was feeling, and 'said that as roon as I was strong again I would be all light, and I was. But I had lost a good deal of, blood, and It had weakened me. "Jumping I like best of anything, but that is where you are liable to have the worst falls. There not much danger of a horse unseating a good rider, but the hordes fall and you go with them.

In London I was riding Senator, who made a long Jump of feet He did It easily, but one ulght they changed th lights, and I didn't know It. Th horn could not see, he miscalculated, turned a somersault, and I had got an awful fall. I don't believe In rushing 'a horse at a Jump as a good many people do. A hors has common sense, he must use his own Judgment, and he must have time to get Ms take off. It Is different In leaping, there you may hav to rush them.

I train my horses and ride and drhr them. I would rather hav a hors that has had no other training, and I can handle any horse by using kindness and firmness. We had one hors named Major Banks at one Um who had a bad reputation, lie was a rac horse, -but get him to the Judges' stand, he would not more, and they ouldnt do anything with him. My sister, Myrtle, tried him first, without success. Then I' said I thourht 1 i manage hi n.

and I had a long, hard tusal with him. I took him Into th ring and up to th Judges' stand, and I don't know how many timea I struck blm, but would not mov. I tried again another day, coaxed him and ptitted him, got him to turn slowly at first, aid finally so that I could do anything with him. I get very fond of a hors I can uuik anything of him. St.
