There are seats on sale at $2, $1.50 and $1 for the matinee, and there will be a grab bag which will be bursting with mysterious prizes for children, at ten cents a grab. Special Numbers of "The Parada of 1921" Some of the very attractive special numbers of "The Parada" will include a. comedy song entitled "Ma," which will be sung by Mr. Oscar Widmann, who needs no introduction to Brooklynites, especially those who have attended the Poly Prep Alumni Shows; a solo number to be sung by Mrs.

The grand ballroom was filled with an enthusiastic audience which included more Brooklyn subscribers than usual. Owing to Mr. Bagby's innovation this season, the artists on the program were a complete surprise. They were Madame Frances Alda, Mr.

Beniamino Gigli and Mr. Gutia Casini with Mr. Theodore Flint, Mr. Vito Carnevali and Mr. De Curtis acting as accompanists.

Mr. Casini opened the Musical Morning with Lullaby by Schumann and Tarantelle by Popper. When Madame Alda entered for the second number on the program, Panis Angelicus (Franck). with 'cello obligato by Mr. Casini, there was much craning of necks and rising of those seated in the rear to get a good view of the well-known soprano.

Her appearance was striking, for she wore a black silk gown with hoop-skirt effect in petals and a bodice with transparent black lace, short sleeves and yoke on which a long string of pearls showed effectively. Her hat of black velvet had a long black plume falling over the left shoulder. Mme. Alda was in excellent voice and, in addition to her first number, her selections included "Vissi D'Arte" (La Tosca) by Puccini, a duet from "Le Roi D'Ys" (Lalo), sung with Mr. Gigli, and songs by Hue, Curran and Maxwell, also the barcarole from "The Tales of Hoffman," which was rendered with exquisite delicacy and expression.

Mr. Gigli, who seemed to amuse the audience by his boyish way of springing to the platform and then bowing rapidly and profusely in every direction, revealed again the reasons why his beautiful tenor voice has earned him the right to be called one of the leading tenors of the Metropolitan Opera Company. He sang the aria "Che Gelida Manina" (La Boheme) by Puccini and songs by Leoncavello and De Curtis with the composer, Mr. De Curtis, playing his accompaniments. He was warmly applauded and responded generously with encores.

Among the Brooklyn subscribers to the series most of whom attended were, Mrs-. John Anderson, Mrs. Stephen C. Baldwin, Mrs. Audley Clarke, Mrs.
