No mora rational Explanation eoald bo made for their presence here on Saturday. "The Beaaty Spot" notwithstanding the muslo written by De Koven who taoet have composed at intervals when the collector was pounding on the door since dire necessity, not inspiration, evidently spurred him on to achievement exemplifies In Its score, Its book and its, "business" all that Is worst In the musical play or musical comedy although It could hardly be ranked as the latter since its comedy was lamentably present by its absence. It is just this sort of mongrel theatrical "entertainment" which has poshed the genuine vehicle of dramatic art to one side together with the tatter's exponents that is knawlng at the vitals of the stage. At Its best it Is an artistic anomaly. But has a certain justification in Its music if the latter Is worthy of critical consideration and the medium through which the music is heard by tho public. Hut even at Its best it Is neither a reflection of life, nature nor art. Therefore at Us worst it has absolutely no excuse for being. In addition, the story of the "beaut yapot" is an off-color one. The vulgarity, suggestlveness, smut tineas and general nastlness tolerated in a theatrical production of the character of "The Beauty Spot" which is no worse In this particular than many of its clnss Is discreditable to the theatreeoing public. The great tragedies, and comedies, of life In the latter's infinite complexities, are a legitimate and fit theme for tho pen of the dramatist and playwright. But when these are degraded to the common surface washings of society, are treated with lewd and unspeakable banality, are made the subject of gutter jokes and cheap wittlclrms then they create artistic and social nausea. The musical play is a bastard. Its "the blot In the 'scutcheon." . The theatrical bar sinister. And It should be pulled up by the loots and landed on the garbage heap In the alley. 80 far as "The Beauty-Spot" Is concerned, It had two good things the violin solo by one uown on the program as "Carl Krusada." which was charming In effect with Its accompaniment of bells placed In the auditorium; and the voice of Jack Fisher, who played the part of an American artist. The latter's solo was excellent. Fisher having a baritone of rich and vibrant quality. Krusada knows how to play the violin. He pulled the singing quality out of his instrument and gave It poetic appeal. The audience would have liked more of him. The management should notify the little dancer that it was Krusada, not she, who was receiving the encores. - Frank Deshon has displayed his talents as a comedian to better effect Man In "The Beauty-Spot," and certainly should know better than to Insult the intelligence of his auditors with the time-worn, moth-eaten, dogeared old Jokes carried over from the stone age, which he threw over the foot-lights.

the old familiar song of our Father's time, "Silver Threads Among The Gold," the memory of which has been kept green and is incidentally sung during the first act by Richard J. Jose, who will be well remembered by his former connection with Minstrula, "The Old Homestead," and in vaudeville. The season of 1909, for the tint time In his career of nearly a quartet of a century, Mr. Jose took up the legitimate drama as a means to give to the public, and his many admirers, the familiar ballads, and hymns, the singing of which has made him famous. The ravages of time have had no visible effect upon Mr. Jose's phenomenal voice, while the play offers a most consistent, clean, theatrical treat as judging from any standpoint it is a splendid piece of playwritlng, dealing with New England folks who are pictured as in every day life, particular pains having been taken in not having the characters overdrawn. "Naughty Marietta." The first big comic opera to tonr this section will be seen at the Gennett theater on next Tuesday night, when Mr. Oscar Hammerstein presents Mile. Florence Webber in "Naughty Marietta," the new comic opera written by Victor Herbert and Rida Johnson Young. The score 1b said to be of genuine comic opera calibre the orchestrations being rich in harmony, the ensembles inspiring and in a wide range of tempos, and the solo numbers pretentious. The book is in two acts and of a type which is rarely seen on the American stage at the present day. The scene is laid in New Orleans in the year 1780, when woodmen ranged the forests, Spanish senoritas and beautiful quadroon slaves mingled amid picturesque surroundings, that passed with the old lxmisiana, and where chivalry was well known and heroics were the commonplaces of life. The hero is an American Captain, of the forest rangers; the heroine. "Naughty Marietta," the daughter of the noble D'Altena has run away from her home in France and arrived in New Orleans which at that time is under the fear of the famous and mysterious buccaneer, "Bras Prlque" who in reality is Etienne Grandet, son of the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana, a wily fellow, who known the identity of "Bras Prlque" and shares In the spoils of his son. I AM SO NERVOUS How many times have you beard that expression from wife, mother or bister.

There Is one place In this country where a man can step back not by hundreds but by thousands of years, back to the time when the continent was in the making. This place is the Grand Canyon of Arizona. There the visitor sees a panorama In a million colors as the mists gather about the rugged peaks and the sunlight glistens on the metallic deposits of the cliffs. A whole chaotic world discloses Itself. Rock forms of uncanny beauty stand out on those unrivaled cliffs, and far down runs the river channel. Stand on some ledge and realize tbe Insignificance of man when compared with the handicraft of nature, watch a party of traveler . threading their way down some winding trail that clings to the great wall and see them grow smaller and smaller until they become mere specks In the great rift, then some idea is gained of this wonderful place. Yet tbe canyon Is so symmetrical and so unlike anything else that it is with difficulty that one can acquire any notion of its immensity.

STRANGE AND INEXPLICABLE ARf DREAMS
Many Persons Dream Confusedly Whenever Asleep, Others Clearly at Long Intervals. Races and Nations Possess Differences.
BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Of such stuff are dreams made." Dreams are, perhaps, the strangest and most inexplicable of psychological I-henomena. While it is the general impression that everyone dreams, it is true that there are many instances of nondreaming entities. One man said that he had dreamed but four times in his life. His dreams, therefore, were sillioutted against the background of hie life with Intense vividness. Others dream so often that their sleeping fancies are a vague mass of incoherence. Many dreams are meaningless. Borne clairvoyant. Often they are attributable to a derangement of the function of a physical organ. Or a disturbed mental state. But however or from what cause they are marvelous. The papers daily recount the following of some event oftener than not disastrous upon a dream. The writer could Bet down some amazing instances of this sort in her own experience. And, oddly enough, there are certain 'dreams common with every-one. One being in some conspicuous place, chiefly on the street, half-clothed or without clothing. This dream phenomenon has been the subject of pyschological comment a magazine article of more or less length having been devoted to it a few years since. It is known to all those who dream. , Another is being borne along on a swiftly moving current the water black as night, the destination unknown but gliding on and on and on, with a feeling of terror. Most can tell of that bottomless pit into which we fall in dreamt dropping dropping dropping and the sudden awakening with a start pr violent Jerk. The writer remembers dreaming one night of a sudden death. It occurred In the house of a neighbor of her father's household. There was much confusion, people running about in a distracted manner, a coffin in a certain position in a room of the house. The next morning ipe dreamer learned that an elderly woman in the neighbor's house had been taken suddenly ill and her life was despaired of. She rallied, seemingly recovered, lived a few days after the consummation of the latter state and then pouf ! iikc a candle in a current of air, she collapsed and died. And singularly enough her coffin stood In the same position as that been in the dream. Some persons are especially obsessed with dreams of the dead. The dead come to them, either as they were as the dreamers knew them cr in some more eyrie fashion. But. even in a dream one views the one returning with a certain reservation. The latter seems to know that he has no right to masquerade as among the cuick. The dreamer feels a sort of hor ror of the retranslated one, no matter b w natural the seeming or how glad the dreamer may be to see him again visualized. A certain resentment as though the dead were poaching on the preserves of the living. It is strange this attitude toward the dead. We hesitate to speak of them. We apologize for mentioning them. We avoid referring to them. We have as much timidity in talking of them as a lorer for the mistress of his heart. We lower our voices, we whisper. In short death is treated, as a sort of disgrace. And be who is its victim as without the pale. 9 "WHIZ" is a boon to the shopj 1'iuu. -u nuiui iuu grimy iur ox I "Whiz." Premium coupon i can. All dealers, 10c.

It is, perhaps, the repugnance of every living thing to its antithesis. Or seeming antithesis. For, as Spencer says, "we are all one great organism." Or something to that effect. We are inextricably and inexplicably commingled. And life is our natural state. We struggle toward the light, just as the vegetable in the cellar, the seed in the ground forces its way toward the sun. Death is inimical to the living organism. Death is not beautiful. It is aesthetically obnoxious. It is in its aesthetic Bpect that we, consciously or unconsciously are obsessed with its horror the decay, the slow dissolution, the return to the elements. The elements of which we are a part. For we are brother to the fire and isieter to the water. We are strangely related to the flowers, the trees, the birds, the wind, the grass. The sun, the moon, the stars are our kinsmen. The rain, the mist, the snow are part and parcel of our being. The mud, the mire, the dust are chemically no different from our bodies. Everything is tangled up with everything else. Why, then are we all so afraid of each other. Why build barriers of law and custom and social demarkation? Why be afraid to address each other without the medium of that banal and ridiculous thing called "an introduction?" Why fight for supremacy when, in the end, we are all mixed up together in the great melting-pot of the universe. Why view one another, with hauteur, contempt and reservations. There is nothing more ridiculous than Man in his social aspect and by this, of course, is meant in tbe larger sense. For how in the end are we laid low !

Its a great mistake to be too proud. Where are the girls of yesterday where Is the rose of yester-year?" To return to dreams. It is a curious fact, noted by investigators, that there is a difference between races and nations in the mattei of dreaming. The French, it is said by the latter. do not dream. "How happy Frenchmen are! Que les Francais sont heureux! They never dream," eays Heine. "I have inquired accurately on the subject, and this fact explains why they do their daily work with such wide-awake confidence. una never lose themselves in cloudy twilight thoughts and feelings, be it in art or life. In the tragedies of our Ger man poets the dream plays a great part, of which French dramatists have no conception." Heine, himself, was a great dreamer, bud related many some amusing, borne with that charm possessed alone by. the poetic. "This morning, my dear friend, I am of a marvellously mild and tender disposition. The spring weather exercises a ttrange influence upon me. During the day I am as if benumbed and my soul slumbers; but I am so excited by night that I do not fall asleep till to ward morning, and then the most tor turlng yet rapturous dreams twine about me. "O agonizing happiness! I dreamed of her whom I will not, should not love, though tho passion secretly charms me.

Few people are aware that sound can be focussed just as light can. AH are familiar with the burning glass or reading lens which, if placed In a beam of sunlight, will focus the rays into a small point which is so hot as to be able to set fire to a piece of paper. Ligbt is a wave In the ether, but sound is a wave in a material medium, generally tbe air. If we make a convex lens oat of rubber or collodion and fill it with gas heavier than air. say carbon diozid. we shall have a sound lens analogous In nearly all respects to a glass leos for light. It will be found that we can focus sound waves In the following manner: Take a watch and place it some feet away from one side of the lens and put your ear on a line with the watch and the center of the lens, but on the other side, and move outward from the lens. While moving out yon cannot hear the watch until you get to a certain point where the waves are focused, at which place you will hear it plainly. This is called the conjugate focus of the watchv New York Tribune.
