SUNDAY LAW UP TO-DAY A LDERVEX THE TINKERS. Mayor Between Trco Fires Bingham Praises Work of Police. yew York awoke yesterday from its first "blue Sunday" to think over the significance of Justice Interpretation of the law tvhich resulted in the closing of every place of amiiFepent in the five boroughs with the exception of half a dozen moving: picture shows and a skating rink. Those citizens who believe that churchcoinp should not be the only form of recreation en the day of rest look to the Board of Aldermen for relief at the meeting: of that body to-day. According to "Little Tim" Sullivan, president of the board, and in the opinion of Corporation Counsel Pendleton.

the aldermen may repeal Section 1.451 of the charter, and if this action should be supported by the Mayor Sunday may a return of concerts and lectures. "Little Tim" said he was oenfldent that this would be brought about. The enforcement of the Sunday dosing law, however, has plenty of supporters, and at meet- Ings of religious societies resolutions were passed calling upon the Mayor and aldermen to refrain from touching the legal safeguards of the day as they now stand. The Mayor was between two for ho received not only such letters from clergymen and others, but he also found in his mail letters from various worthy organizations asking him to use his influence to have the charter provision altered. Among those who made such a request the directors of the York Symphony Society.

As for the theatrical managers, they are leaning back on their shoulder blades, like critics at first night, and waiting for the, show to go en. Diligent inquiry failed to show that any trying to influence legislation. "It is up to the public." wan the chorus, "and if the citizens want shows to be held the law will be changed by them through their representatives." Probably the best pleased man in New York was not an active worker in a Sabbath observance league. He -was General Bingham. Commissioner of Police.

He smiled widely about a new brier root pipe that he was coloring and said; "My men did good work. Of course I've had complaints, but most of the kicking is because the police have enforced the law thoroughly. That the sort of kicking I like to hear, "tt'e have no feeling one way or another. We are her? to enforce the laws As to the noise in saloons owing to the increased business, the- commissioner said: "Well, there have been a number of complaints filed here, and all of them will be carefully investigated. I think the police did as well as usual yesterday in enforcing the excise laws, besides keeping the places of amusement under the lid." The commissioner was asked whether, if a decision in excise matters as plain as Justice O'Gorman's in the amusement places should be handed down, he would enforce it as vigorously.

"I don't care to go on record as Baying I would," replied General Bingham. "but the chances are that in that case New Yorkers would be pretty thirsty before Monday morning." Regarding the raiding done by the police on places covered by injunctions, he said: "The injunction does not go. The laws must be enforced." The commissioner's tabulated list of arrests showed that there was an Increase of thirtyeight on Sunday. December 8, over the number i on Sunday, December 1. The list was as follows: DECEMBER 8.

The dlf- Jerence Ib that the charter provision mentions all the performances cited and prohibited on Sundays by the Penal Code sections, but goes in that the charter provision includes the words "interludes- and "any other entertain- ment of the ttase or any part or parts therein." "There has been some question raised." ob- served Mr. Pendleton. "as to whether or not William Hamrnerstein lost his license through th- decision of Justice The license to which this applied has since lapsed and a new license has been obtained.

Therefore, the de- cision does not apply to the new license." Don O- Shelton. president of the National i Bible Institute, made a caustic speech at an interdenominational meeting in the Marble Collegiate Church yesterday, in which he said: is to the credit of some of the theatre managers that they are strongly opposed to Sunday performances. But in others the mercenary spirit is in control, and from this ciass springs most the agitation for the Sunday theatre The more avaricious among them do not seem to care for the moral or physical well- being of their employes or the people." The Methodist rPeachers' Meeting, at No. 150 Fifth avenue, voted unanimously to send a notice to the Police Commissioner and to Justice Gorman expressing: the clergymen's apprecia- tion of the decision and of the manner in which the law was enforced. Among the letters to the Mayor asking for action to enable the holding of concerts was that from the New York Symphony Society.

After that the society made no profit out of the Sunday concerts, the letter continued: "We therefore respectfully urge you. and, through you, the Beard of Aldermen to use your authority in order that a epeedy' adjustment of the confusion regarding the purport of the law may enable us to resume Sunday concerts at the earliest opportunity. 3n the list of directors whose names were appended to the letter were John D.

Magistrate Crane, in Harlem court, discharged the manager and two ticket takers arrested at Waldron's Manhattan Casino, where the Tiger Social Club was giving a dance on Sunday night.

It is a familiar and we.l recognized truth that any art work. io be vital, must reflect in some degree the tendency of its time.

If the two operas performed last evening at the Manhattan Opera House were to be Judged solely by the measure of their possession of the spirit of to-day they would have to be declared masterpieces without more ado, for both Massenet, in "La Navarraise" and Leoncavallo, in -Pagliacci." took their unerringly from certain aspects of modern whose existence cannot be gainsaid. Neither of these musical dramas may be charged with exceeding, in its emotional tension, the tautness anu urgency of this breathless period, nor is either in danger of being catalogued by 'he luture musical historian as belonging to any date prior to the closing years of the nineteenth century. They are as modorn and in a sense as typical as trolley cars or skyscrapers. When "La Xavarraise" and "Pagliacci" are preeonted as a single bill, these characteristics are emphasized so that there is no escaping them. It was a memory of turbulent, intensity of expression that last night's fine audience at Mr.

Hammerstein's theatre must have carried away, but the performances themselves evoked very honest and abundant demonstrations of appreciation. Both operas fared well at the hanis of the singers engagid. In "La Navarraise." it was by her uncommonly vivid and influential conception of titular character, rathor than by any marked beauty in her singing, that Gervi'le-Rcaehe gained the deserved and heartening recognition that was accorded her. No stronger portrayal could have been asked of the woman who could commit murder to obtain the pold that would, ns she thought, unite her with her lover. The singer's voice last night was remarkable neither for quality nor volume, but the total impression ehe gave was of sincerity and effectiveness.

Mr. Dalmores. as her soldier lover, fane and acted with the fervor and appeal that always distinguish his work. In "Fagliacci," two singers pleasantly remembered from last season made successful re-entry. They were Mr.

Bassi, tenor, and Mr. barytone, and them was associated Miss Zeppilli. who sang fluently and showed again her usefulness and capability as a of Mr. Hammerstein's forces. As for the two men.

the welcome they were vouchsafed handsomely justifled, for both were in excellent voice and spirits, Mr. Sammarco's pinging of the prologue being especially admirable in tone and diction. Mr. Campanini conducted with forceful his is leadership worthy of the name. TETRAZZINI HERE JANUARY 15.

Oscar Hammerstein, director of the Manhattan Opera House, announced yesterday that he had received a cable mes6age from Mr. Brignoll. his personal representative in London, stating that Mme. Tetrazzini had signed a supplementary contract to appear at the Manhattan Opera House this season, and that 6he would make her first appearance on January 15. The contract calls fifteen performances, with the privilege of this number.

It was said at the Metropolitan Opera House last night by a representative of Mr. Conned that if trazzini tried to appear in this city Mr. Conried enjoin her from so. He said Mr. Oonried's contract with the singer was binding.

"MEFISTOFELE" AT THE METROPOLITAN. "Meflstofele" was repeated last nipht at the Metropolitan Opera House, with Mr. Martin as Faust, Miss Farrar as Margarita and Challapine as Meflstofele. All of the principals in the cast sang- with feeling, and were enthusiastically applauded by the larpre audience present. Mr.

LINCOLN SQUARE THEATRE. "Fra Diavolo." Quite the best piece of acting so far by the Aborn Opera Company at the Lincoln Square Theatre that of the part of Beppo.

played by Robert Lett, with Arthur Wooley as Giacomo. his partner in rascality, in the production last evening of Auber "Fra Diavolo." Mr. Harry Luckstone filled the title role with vigor, grace and a good voice, and Estelle Wentworth made a Zerlina worth goinK much further than 66th street to ru-ar and see. The sextet from "Lucia" was interpolated at the end of the second act as a special feature, and was received with more applause than it merited, as it was marred sinning markedly off key. Again the chorus of the company proved a tower of strength and did excellent work.

SIGNOR NOVZLLI AS NERO. Lyric Theatre. In one form or another the Ptory of the Roman Emperor Nero has held a place on the Englishspeaking stage for three years. It has not, indeed, been often presented. It has recurred in a sporadic way, and it seems not ever to have inspired more than a momentary interest.

History designates Nero as a mon3ter. the assassin of his wife and of his mother; records an apparently absurd story, that. in the course of the conflagration of Rome, which occurred in the tenth year of his reign, he amused himself with singing and with playing on his lyre; and denounces him as a cruel persecutor of the sect of Christians, whom, according to Tacitus, he accused as incendiaries and subjected to the most excruciating tortures and the most horrible barbarities. At the same time It represents him as a person devoted to the arts and possessed of talent as a musician and an actor. The union of artistic genius and Infernal depravity in one Individual.

and that Individual the ruler of a vast empire. naturally, a tempting subject for a dramatist, because it suggests sharp contrasts of situation, frequent alternations of mood, and juick transition of action. No play of potential nerit, on that subject, however, is known to our theatre. Even the vital though wild gsnius of Nat failed to make the subject attractive: indeed his tragedy of Nero has been commonly dismissed as contemptible. The late Richard Mansfield presented a drama on this theme, but he speedily found it useless and cast it aside.

The Italian play, by Slgnor P. Cossa, that Signer Novelll produced In the. Lyric Theatre last night, leaves the subject in much the same condition In which it was found. The words are many: the deeds are few. The picture Is copious: the action is little.

Many old expedients of mechanism are used, and they are used in the old way. Nero is described as an enthusiast of art. lie wishes to make Rome- a beautiful city, and for the. accomplishment of that Object he seizes private wealth by cruel and ignominious means. Like Sardanapalus.

in Byron's Indeed like many of the ancient monarchs. whether in play or actual he neglects public duty and the defence of his empire, for the sake of luxurious and licentious living. He Is artfully prompted to atrocities by a malignant court fool, "named Menecrate. the usual attendant of that type of monarch. He is enamoured of a Greek girl named Eglope.

whom he fascinates, and lie is hampered and annoyed by a mistress of whom lie has grown weary, named Atte. He causes the murder of a patrician named Cassio in order to confiscate the property of that opulent citizen, anil then he pursues tho daughter 'of his victim. He is, in brief, an imperial blackguard. Once, when disguised, he attacks a gladiator and comrs near to being pulverized. Once he is in despair because his discarded mistress Atte has succeeded in exterminating her rival, Egloge.

At the last, when successful rebellion has defeated his forces and destroyed his Imperial authority, he first cowers in abject terror and then sufficiently recovers to kill himself. In order to escape being killed. The play Is very long and very dreary. The actual Nero perished, by suicide, at the age of thirty-one, remarking. it is said, as he stabbed himself, "Oh, what an artist perishes in me!" Slgnor Novell! presented an elderly, heavy, coarse type of Roman character, in no way suggesting the Nero of history, who seems to have been a picturesque compound of the wanton, wilful tyrant mid the ardent voluptuary.

Viewed as acting, however, the performance impressed observation as fraught with authority and as richly illustrated with expressive gesture, dominant pose, ami facial play. bursts of anger, alternating with lapses into tolerant good humor, were notably effective: and the clarion delivery created an Impression of prodigal physical force. In moments of blandishment, on the other hand, this over-mature, emperor seemed a port of sentimental goat. As a whole- the impersonation makes no new disclosure of the actor's talent, nor does It augment his professional renown. CAST OF "NERO.

Former Grand Opera Star Sings Simple Ballads at New York Theatre. Suzanne Adams, the former grand opera star, who will be recalled as one of the leading artists at the cetropolitan Opera House during the directorship of the late Maurice Grau. made her entry into local vaudeville yesterday afternoon on the stage of the New York Theatre, and was cordially received by a large audience, made up for the most part of her old admirers. suffering from a slight attack of tonsilitls. Miss Adams sang with fine feeling, and won the favor of the music hall audience by confining her efforts almost entirely to simple ballads and pleasant songs.

The only exception to this was her opening number, which was the "Jewel Song" from "Faust." The audience appeared to appreciate that song, but showed more enthusiasm when she sang "Speak but One Word" and followed it with "Comin" Through th 1 Rye." Her final number was "Home, Sweet Home." which she gave with fine pathos and expression. After a prolonged applause aha sang "Sunbeam." Miss Adams will be at the New York during the present week, and purposes appearing at both performances. She will vary her programme from day to day. On the same stage with Miss Adams appear a number of excellent variety performers. Including Maud Hall Macy, Julian Rose.

Continuing, Mr. Carnegie said: To-night we celebrate the opening of an upon which we cannot refrain from congratulating the the Engineers' Club. where members throw aside the demands of the strenuous life and associate within these walls to cultivate the social, friendly side of their natures, so that as they grow- up, becon.ing valuable engineers professionally, they will not rind themselves bereft of the kindly social instincts which, having tree scope in this club, will unite its members, not only as professional, but also as social men. You are not to learn here of the abilities of your fellow members, but of their qualities as men, ana the intercourse of men as men ia not without educative value.

"Know thyself is the essence or wisdom, so says the philosopher, but to know your fellows is scarcely less important, tor the longer I live the more I become satisfied that the personal element is a potent force, and that a body or friends knowing each other as this club will enable you to know each other, sharing your recreations ami enjoyments together, will accomplish far more than any body of strangers could hastily and promiscuously gathered together. In union there Is strength, no doubt, and in the union of men who like each other, knowing each other's tine qualities, co-operation in the activities of life gives strong reinforcement of natural powers. From every point of view it was wise to incorporate In the great meeting place of the kindred societies as this building where, throw- Ing aside the cares oi profession, they can practise th" social qualities. This is the age of the engineer. Never before tho history of the world has he been so important.
