The fourth annual concert of the Brooklyn Sunday School Choir will take plucc in.t heThirteenth Regiment Armory, on Thursday evening. May 8, 8:13 o'clock. The soloists are to be Shanca dimming, soprano; Courtney Casler, a Manhattan well-known baritone; W. S. Mygrant, a noted cornet soloist, and the Shubert Brafs Quartet, which has scarcely an equal in its line.

The players have given concerts recently in many parts of the country. Shanna Cummlng should receive' special mention because of her magnificent voice. She has scarcely a peer as a dramatic soprano, but the special reason for bringing her prominently to the front is that she has sung In every concert that the Brooklyn Sunday School Choir has given. Her great interest has been a source of inspiration to the conductor and those actively managing the affairs of the organization. Her advice Is sought and freely and willingly given.

It is her peerless voice and her great reputation that have contributed in a large measure to past successes. She will sing "Praise Ye Jehovah," from Beethoven's "Mount of Olives." Another interesting number will be sung by Mr. Casler, who will sing "Honor and Arms," from Handel's "Samson." The Junior choir will sing two of the anniversary hymns, "The Lost Chord by Sullivan, and Kipling's "Recessional," by De Koven, with the senior choir. It is expected that this will engage about 1,600 voices. T1inmi TTumsann will p1a3S bid bin? in uperatic concert at lot Acaaemy Tonight.

SHineo William Favershara's "Julius pictorial, by letting Lady Macbeth's torch throw a long shadow of her figure on the farther wall to precede her in her ghostly march. The experiment has been tried In Germany some time since, of playing the whole or nearly the whole of "Julius Caesar" In symmetrical settings, of two or three columns. A circular set of four columns, with steps approaching, suffices for the capltol scene backed perhaps by a curtain of neutral color.

Remove the steps and insert a set of curtains between the columns and you have Brutus's house. Remove the curtains and back the scene with a simple design of Roman arches, and you have the street. Cover the columns with curtains and you have Brutus's tent. Remove the columns altogether, drop a dull gray or black backing, turn out all lights and use only spots of dull but suggestive color, and you have the field of battle. H.

The recent advance In the art of stage settings Is in large part due to the improvement of the physical resources of the stage. It is ten years or more since the average American theater gave np completely the old-fashioned "wings," or canvas slides, which with the "back drop" once formed the whole science of stage setting. The "set scene" la now universal. But tho ways of using the set scene have been vastly Improved in the last half dozen years, mainly In Germany. Part of this improvement Is due simply to more accurate and careful stage methods.

But the newer mechanical devices are becoming more and more a necessity in the modern theater. These can be roughly classified as three the "Drchbuehne" or revolving stage (made famous by Max Reinhardt's Dentsches Theater, and now in use at the Century and Little theaters. New York), the "Schiebebuhne" or sliding stage, allowing one scene to be set while another is being used In performance, and the "Wagenbuhno" or movable stage, by which two or more complete sets can be erected to be rolled before the proscenium as needed. Foreigners have been In the habit of regarding Max Relnhardt as the practical expositor of all that is new on tho German stage. But as a fact, though probably no none excels him in mechanical expertness, he represents a very small and by no mean3 the most daring part of the movement.

At present he seems unwilling to advance artistically much ahead of his audiences. Although he has without question appropriated many pf the Ideas of Gordon Gralg and Stanislavsky, It i3 not unfair to say that ho has gained his position as a reglsseur by bringing to mechanical perfection the old idea3 of Inscenlerung. The drift toward simplification necessarily puts an emphasis upon pure design, and this makes the stage producer for the first time not a mechanician, but "Richard Bennett came to New York, talked about "Damaged Goods," and made himself a circulating library of the book.
