All the elements of popular success are there. And not the least of these are two three haunting melodies, which are certain to become- favorites. The story.Twhich is slender and a slight variant of jlhe familiar David Garrick disillusionment strves'its purpose well enoughj the composers have written a score which serves to bring out nicely the successive stages of love, self-sacrifice, mlscrv.

and rejoicing, which must accompany suchi heroic In this. case It Is an actress who agrees to disillusionise lover. As in "David the task is undertaken at the suggestion of the young man's father, a bumptious nuisance, whose constant state ot being perturbed is as nothing compared to the effect on those who must put up with the ancient comedy with which it is accompanied. As a matter of fact there is little ia the book of the ojra to arouse enthusiasm, much of the humor being of the most familiar pattern. Hut the pongs, one or two of which had already been appropriated in English musical comedy nicceases last Summer, and the swing and dash and verve with which ihe story is carried forward make other details of comparatively slight importance.

i The opening act, showing an after-theatre crowd slowly disappearing to make way fori the stage-door hangers-on and the entrances of the actor-idol and the actress-heroine, properly opem the way for the tale of high life before and behind the scenes. A rollicking chorus. Be Jollv! prepares the mood of the gea-eral' entertainment, and is, of course, ert- tlrelyJn sympathy with the desires of the audience, whose hopes, though often as high, are not always met so well. A capital number, given with delightful effect by Charles Roes, describes the state of an actor's feelings when he is besieged by a host of matinee a condition more easily understood when he is confronted later bv a devoted buxom person, though buxom is really a more polite werd than would actually describe her. Mr.

Ross, who has not appeared to such advantage for a long time, again scores In a spirited number Loveand Wine and a descriptive one "Just a Play in the final Miss Eva Fallon, a dainty little person, help" to carry the secondary love interest, singing and dancing prettily, while a positive success in the list 0 slng- ing honors is to be credited to Craig Campbell, who appeared on short notice, in the leading male rfile to succeed Mr. Nell McKay, who Is 11L Mr. Campbell does not measure very tall as an actor, but he has a rich, pleasant voice, sings with good method, and helps out the vocal end of tbe performance immensely. The surprise of the night, however, came In the person of Elogie Bowen. a hitherto unknown prima donna, who appeared Jn the role of the actress whose tearful duty It is to disillusionize the lover for whom her heart is yearning.

Miss Bowen sang the heavy vocal fecore heavy for this type of entertainment very charmingly, and. except in moments ol too great when she seemed to forget discretion, acted the role as well. Her scene of intoxication, however, and the accompanying dance, though full of dash and fire, lacked the restraining influence of rood taste. Perhaps it was first-night nervousness, but whatever the cause, the result will be more pleasing when she succeeds in making a sharp division between the point where natural abandon ends and vulgarity begins. Tho piece has been richly staged.

The three sets show the exterior of the novelty theatre, a drawing room, and behind the scenes. And there is a plentiful supply of richly dressed choristers to Jena color, movement, and variety. The Ive Cure promises to provide a tonic for the tired business man for some time to come. it, nu Paln'g Carnival of Fire To-night Tain's annual Carnival of Fire will take place. at Brighton Beach.

Foeeeu Musical conductor. It. Carlo Nicoaia. The. third performance In the series of opera, educational 'in one way or an other, that Mr.

Hammerstein Is giving at the Manhattan Opera House, was one of Eixet's Carmen." The audience, though not so large as the one that hear! "Aida" the nlfiht before, was yet large, and It was appreciative ot many excel lences that the performance presented and tolerant of a good many shortcomings, which were also not lacking. The roost interesting feature of the occasion was the disclosure of a real talent-nd a real artistic personality, the most Important that has been brought to light so far among the members of this company of Bummer singers, in Mme. Marguerite Syl va, who took the part of Carmen. Others In the cast had appeared before. as Mr.

Lucas, the Don Jose; Mme. al ter-Vl'Ia, the Micaela, and several ot the minor characters who took part In Le Prophets on the opening night. The conductor waa a new figure, Mr. Nicosia. The performance, as might have been foreseen by those who have followed the work of these singers, was of uneven merit, but It had animation and plct- urt-squeness In Its total effect, and ia its best momenta it repioduced charrn and the pungent dramatic flavor that be longs to the opera.

To this the chorus, as it hai before, contributed largely. tr. Nicosia was responsible for a treatment of the orchestral score 'that was often delicate, refined, well balanced, and euphonious, though it was not without passages of uncertainty which a more thorough preparation might have improved, and others in which he took a tempo somewhat too deliberate. ANt lnterea.lng feature ot the performance was the fact that It was given with the spoken dia logue wih which it was originally provided for the ODera Comlaue in Paris. and for which recitative is usually sub-.

muted as the opera is given here. Mme. Sylva at once disclosed herself as an operatic1 singer ot Individual quality and artistic powers, signifying mare than some others to whom considerably more printer's ink has been allotted in preliminary announcement. She is not unknown to New York, for some years ago she appeared here in musical comedy" of the sort that flourishes on Broadway. She has learned a number of thlnics since then.

She has something: of the true Carmen temperament. She confined an expression ot vivacity and in tensity without bolsterousness. Her impersonation did not sacrifice charm to the sensual qualities that are the main springs or tne actions or Menmee heroine; arid it is indeed gayly and lightheart- edly Gallic rather than darkly and period ically Spanish in its me. Byiva nas a voice 01 ratner narie timbre and a mezzo Quality: a voice of the sort that is best adapted to the music that Carmen has to sing. Her singing is skillful and artistic, well-phrased, in tune, ana excellent in diction: it is, in fact, the best that has been so far from any member of this company of Mr.

Hammer8teln's. The numerous marks of approbation that the audience gave her were very well deserved. M. Lucas was ratner neavy-footed as Don Jose: his vocal accomplishment has not advanced any since the opening night of, the season. He was tolerable in the part; more can scarcely be.

said of him Scarcely- so much can be said of Laskin's Escamlllo. Mme. Walter-Villa, by her singing; of Micaela's music, con firmed the pleating impresflon she had already made. The other jnemters of the cast did not much to distinguish them selves. MADAME PLEASES LONDON Lena Ashwell Admirably Acts Heroine In Bisson's Thrilling Play.
