dailV news; Wednesday, January 26, ini. IT'S MARY GARDEN ANSWERS UNLIKE Spendthrift Often Pictured as Slender Man sellers have made famous. And Mr. Arbuckle, whatever else he may be, is not lissome! NOR romantic! However, I suppose that he, sliding about the dizzy deck of a movie yacht in a very real typhoon (or something) is much funner than Wallace Eeid, 6ay, would be in a similar plight. Optiences lik-i, though they do not love, a fat man.

Therefore if the Arbuckle curves and billows afford you amusement, you may put "Brewster's Millions" down on your list. SINGER TRIUMPHANT ALTHOUGH DIRECTOR "MONNA VANNA." Lyric drama In three acts. Libretto by Maeterlinck. Music by Fevrler. Presented In the Manhattan Opera House by the Chicago Opera Company.

THE CAST. Prinaivalle Luclan Muratore Captain of the Florentine troops) Guido Colonna Oeorges Baklanoff (Commander of the garrison at Pisa) Monna Vanna. his wife-Mary Garden Marco Colouna, father of Guido, Kdouard Cotreuil edio. secretary to Prinsivaite. Albert Palilard Trivulzlo, envoy from Florence, Constantln Nicolay Place Pisa.

Time The Middle Ages. Conductor. Henri Morln By JAMES WHITTAKER. Mary Garden did her first sing-- ing in New York since she became a general director last night at the Manhattan. Now we want to hear Gatti-Cassaza play the pipe organ.

or it seems to rejuvenate, ennoble, exalt this becoming a director. If Mary Garden has ever been more girl than she was in her pale red rose and paler yellow tresses of her second act of "Monna Vanna" it must have been before she became woman and star in an hour when, many years ago in Paris, the prima donna of "Louise" sat in a araugnt and Mary came out of the cellar where they keep the understudies. There must be a catch some where. Mary was too wondrously! xair as vanna be any better than just fair as Director. And her new voice is too sweet to talk of ii Hollsrs- ns pe she WiT" voice.

It is as new as new moons. I None of the old silver o-lamonr i missing, but as it rises on t.h horizon of a new season it seems made of as youni? and cWr stuff as the night first star. Certainly there is some witchery here. But if Mary, like Doctor Faustus, has sold her soul for the privilege of beginning all over again at the age of sixteen, it is to her peril and to our joy. 1 JOT RANG OCT.

The joy rang out triumphantly at the close of the second act. There was a monstrous sound from the; vast auditorium, in which full. throated male cheers were mere i twitterings It was all the more remarkable for that there were no Italians with their voluminous brava to contribute to the din. The noble Romans of the standing room seem to have elected to keep their Little Italy in the Metropolitan, where it has taken comfortable root. Very American was this Mary Garden audience, and not usually given to such Southern foolishness as howling their applause.

But three cen turies of strict control of the American emotion were swept away by the powerful sweetness of the Muratore-Garden duet of second act and a few thousand of your best fellow citizens acted like a Hungarian parade. MIBAIOBE FIELDS TO MARY. Muratore yielded second place to Miss Garden only by his and the audience's chivalry. It was Garden night and, loyally, he helneri make k. He helped make it with i his princely impersonation of, fnnce Frmzivalle.

There is epic in Mary Garden. There is lyric in Muratore. Always poetic, never pohectic, he sang such strophes as those which Maeterlinck has written to Vanna's hands in a way to make you shiver, always to the shock sheer beauty and never once to the shock of sheer noise. "Monna Vanna," as it was given last night, is to be recommended as i medicine for your souL For its little ills it will suffice to go and hear whatever beauty of gesture and voice its two principals can tell you. But, if it is reaiiy sick, I read the story of how Vanna of ancient Pisa went out to nurchase McCUTCHEON HERO WAS NOT AS PLUMP AS FATTY ARBUCKLE "BREWSTER'S MILLIONS." Produced by Lasky.

BREWSTER WAS A spendthrift chap, in George Ban? Mc-Cutcheon's somehow all readers of that decade ago best seller visioned him as slen--der and tall not a bit like "Fatty" Arbuckle, who plays the role in the picture version. However, young Roscoe is probably funnier at the job than any, lean and lissome hero would be. The Rialto houses "Brewster's Millions" this week.
