Jury 2, 1898.) PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARL.

OPERATIC NOTES. In a recent notice, one of Mr. Punch’s Young Men picked up the esteemed Daily Telegraphesque Operatic Representa- tive for saying that in the Nozze di Figaro, the Countess refused an encore for the “Dove Sono,” and Mr. P.’s Young Man insisted that the Telegraphian critic must have meant “Susanne.” In proof of his assertion, Mr. P.’s Young Man referred to printed book of Opera, where Susanne, in Act I., commences “Dove sono?” At the hearing of the case, however, before Mr. Punch, it was pointed out that these two words, though indeed used by Susanne in the first act, are also the first two words of the well-known song given by the Countess in the second act, where the words are, “ Dove sono i bei momenti,” &c., for which Madame Eames, as Cowntess, declined to take an encore. Mr. Punch’s Young Man, admitting “ trop de zéle,” withdrew the statement and himself. Causa finita est. W ednesday.—Hamlet. The plot of the Divine Wititam, the libretto by the Un-divine Wi.1aMs, from the French of Carré and Baxnier, and the music by Amproisz THomas. Princess of W ALEs and Princess Vicroria present. Madame Calvé, as Ophelia, ex- cellent, both vocally dramatically. The finest “ Sister Mary J ane’s top note” is not in it with Calvé’s. As to her acting, cela va sans dire, as naturally it would if it were simply un ballet daction. That she cannot quite look the ideal maiden is no more to be expected than that she can look Marguerite. But ’tis Caivé’s own Ophelia, and that is sufficient for any devout Opera- goer. It is gratifying to learn that no accident atte her wonderful mad scene, as in it she “brought down the house.” At the commencement of Act V., Hamlet enters, and has a scene all to himeelf; very nice and pleasant, and quite in accordance with the published libretto. But on his retiring, for which no provision is made in the book, there enters ki Claudius ever in his usual melodramaticaliy-significant style by Jupiter- lancgon), and again the libretto is at fault, for not a word of what i the book, nor is there any mention “Now could I kill him pat” rishman), as he does in the ILLIAM SHAKSPEARE at BEB iE ts) Ee YA YO ae ag satis- yin plainest ish. “ Hassen nowt to zay?” (Bother the dialect!) Oh! yes, my Robin has a lot to say, and precious little to do.

| fection. In the true managerial spirit of grand unselfish, artistic self-effacement, Mr. BrzrsouM Trex, in giving us a romantic, undramatic drama, adapted from JEAN Ricwerptn’s Le Chemineau, translated into the slightly unintelligible Dialect of Dor- set, assumes the part of a very Wandering Minstrel who has snatches to sing, lots to say, and littleto do. Parker verba. There is scarcely a laugh in it, except when the raddled-faced © peasants roar at their own wit (which, however, it must be ad- mitted is a touch of nature), and hardly a tear. The piece offers a great chance to Cuaries Warner, who has to appear, first as a vigorous, and then as a paralytic, prematurely decrepit farm labourer, whose ‘conduct in the chair,” as they say at a public meeting, is the theme universal admiration. His simulated feebleness when galvanised in momentary muscular ac- tion is terribly realistic. His mumbling death, still in the chair, is, so to ak, true to life; neither pleasant, nor patheti- cally touching, but unpleasantly erful. The drama also furnishes Mr. FRANKLYN McLgay with a character somewhat on the lines of the old miser in Les Cloches de Corneville ; and it also gives Mrs. Trex the part of fia which, —_ bay and matron (“with a past”), she s to per- Miss Mitiarp has to be

pretty and sympathetic, in which she is thoroughly successful. Mr, Lewis WALLER represents a sturdily honest peasant ; while Miss Hat- Ketr, and Messrs. Stevens and Du Mav- —_ a as three more Sn eee gibly “happy peasants,” w ma themselves up after the fashion of the highly «fi and coloured pictures of countrymen in a Christmas Number. It ends abruptly and unsatisfactorily, in a ragged fashion quite in keeping with the title. The histrionic successes are those of Mrs. Tree, of Mr. McLeay, and ot CHartes Warner; in fact, were a second title required, it might be called Ragged Robin; or, Charlie’s Chance. To eee the words on the eres, placed as motto to Act .» “Good-bwye— zo long!” But “How long?” That is the question. Scenery simply charming, and acting gosd, wherever there was anything to act.

— From a “ Spoox.”—There is no one, pro- bably, who would be more anti-pathetic to the aims and objects of the Psychological Society than that stout Cromwellian, Mr. Kensit, whose battle is, “Take away that bauble!” But with his weather-eye well o for all the doings of the most ultra ultras, could he not be fairly described as practising “ Spy-ritualism ? ”

Jury 2, 1898.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. 303 DARBY JONES REJOICES OVER NEWCASTLE AND ANTICIPATES NEWMARKET Honovrep Str,—There are Moments in Mortal Life when a Man feels proud of Himself. Such Lighthearted Lapses of Time are those when an Owner leads in the Winner of the Derby; when a Playwright, be he Melodramatist, Tragedist, or Extra- vaganzist, plants his feet between the Cur- tain and the gentlemen of the orchestra ; and above all, when a Prophet is of right in his own country. Such, my Patron, has been my Good Fortune at Gosforth Park. I not only plumped for King Crow but selected the gallant Herminius an the somewhat doubtful Villiers for those places which it also pleased the Eye of the Judge to select. have often—alack and well-a-day!—been confronted with the power of a Judge comfortably ermined on the Queen’s Bench, but I have never recognised that any one of these Poten- tates, superstructured with Horse-hair, has equalled the Genial Dictator who gives his fiat in matters of Horseflesh. Honestly, I do not like “Canny New- cassel.” Its reputation seems to be built on a Preposterous Bridge and a Reputation for coals. Most of the shopkeepers appear to wonder that they ever sold anything at all. SodoI. As Captain Kriterion justly remarked when we were enemy to Gos- forth Park, ‘‘ These Northerners have only one idea—Tyne is money.” I fancy, how- ever, that Kriterion was a little vexed because he had failed to induce any of the Sojourners at the Hotel where we stayed to back Carlton Grange for the “Derby,” as, strangely enough, they call the Handicap Plate in this Golconda of Black Diamonds. Count Grocanorr and Baron BroxsTEIN, still intent upon acquiring horses for the Continental our in view of the threat- ened Invasion by the United States Army, were as delightful as ever, and, after the victory of King Crow, presented me with a Solid Silver Matchbox in the name of a Potentate whom I dare not name on this side of the German Ocean. Our friend, the Honourable F.irLatt, was also present with his Fidus Achates, Sir Muuxy Way. I regret to say that ‘both these gentlemen lost money by backing the Jenny Howlet colt, the property of Mr. Cuaries Perxkins, who, although no relation of the famous damsel of Paddington Green, was known. I am given to understand, as “ Polly,” when he boarded at the house of the ever- to-be-esteemed the Rev. W. B. Marriott, at Eton College, Bucks. Mr. Perxrns is like Lieutenant Cons, “a funny man,” and he is a coal man as well. Sometimes he pulls off a Big Prize unexpectedly, but, as often as not, he means to do the trick and doesn’t. One of these days Mr. Prr- KINS will win the Derby quite without warn- ing, and no one will be more surprised than himself or Mr. Anson. These Northern Lights are, as Baron Broxstern observed, “Cleverer than a Bullman Car full of Ba- boons.” A stale simile, which I take leave to state does not apply to Mr. Pre«wys or Mr. I’Anson. But let us hie from the Castle to the Market. from the River to the Ditch, and let the Bard carol his best in the following Refrain of the Birdcage : — Well “ whiskeved ” the Singer may stay When the Cloudy Saint's panting for breath ; But it won’t be the Other Saint's day, Nor the Fine Mount be in at the death.

HINTS FOR HENLEY. FLANNELS in moderation are pardonable, but they are slightly out of place if you can’t row and it rains. The cuisine of a house-boat is not always limitless, so “chance” visitors are some- times more numerous than welcome. The humours of burnt-cork minstrelsy must be tolerated during an aquatic carni- val, but it is as well to give street singers as wide a berth as possible. In the selection of guests for, say, The Pearl of the North Pole, or The Hushaby Baby, it is as well to learn that none ot them are cuts with the others, and all are prepared to accept “roughing it” as the order of the day. Lanterns, music, and fireworks are ex- tremely pretty things, but night air on the river is sometimes an introduction to scia- tica, rheumatism, and chills. In the selection of a costume, a lady should remember that it is good to be “gmart,” but better still to be well. Finally, it is desirable to bear in mind that, pleasant as riparian life may be, Henley is, after all, a regatta, and that consequently some sort of attention should be paid to the racing.

House of Commons, Monday, June 20.— Sark, with all his faults, is not a Party man. He rather belongs to the class described by the late Lord Granvitie as “the Cross Bench mind.” Taking a friendly interest in both political parties, he is beaming with satisfaction to-night at the news that the Liberals have got over their difficulty and have secured a Leader. I was under the impression they had one in the Squire or Matwoop. It seems that, contrary to their traditional habitude, the Liberals, broken up into varied sections, are common in the tendency to cavil at their leaders. Some want one man; some another; most secretly believe that, if persistently pressed, they could find a Heaven-born leader not far from their own home. By imperceptible steps the real leader, the man who will unite under his flag all factions and segments of fractions of the party, stands revealed. His crown- ing claim to the enviable position is that the Squrre or Matwoop, not apt at playing second fiddle, is ready to follow his lead, has, indeed, already conspicuously and effectively done so. The new Leader is the man whom Flint- shire delighteth to honour—Sam Smita! Has long been a member of the House, a not infrequent contributor to its debates. Hitherto rather overlooked, not to say snubbed. But the Man was waiting only for the Hour. It came to him with the introduction of the Benefices Bill. Then he suddenly appeared in his true colours. Unfurling the flag of the Protestant Church, relighting the torch smouldering since the spacious days of Queen Eiza- BETH, he revealed himself in a new and startling light. To-day the House knows \\ \ S “i YS \\ SAN gy 29 rena y Sublapsarian or Supralapsarian ? Dr. W-ll-ce.

Jury 2, 1898.] PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. that Sam Smrrn is a Man of War. (To- morrow he may, Sark says, be known as the Sam Smuiru-field Martyr.) Instantly, instinctively, without ceremonial, he was acce as Leader of the Party. As such he has directed operations to-night, loyally supported by the late Leader of the Oppo- sition and the party generally. . “Now,” says Sark, “we shall see things hum. You wouldn’t think it to look at him, or when listening to his average speech. But there’s a good deal of Ranpotrpa Cavromiit in Sam Surrn.” Business done.—Benefices Bill fought inch by ineh on report stage. Tuesday.—Only yesterday recorded ar- rangement that seemed to promise — and plenty to Liberal Party. As Sarx, dropping into poetry, remarked : — “ Ban, ban, Calaban ; Got a new Leader, feel a new man.” Within less than twenty-four hours, have heard the new Leader called a Sublapsa- rian. Wattace guilty of this outrage. Following at some distance one of Sam SmirH’s impassioned assaults upon sacer- dotalism, he, drawing on early resources of study, informed House that the creed of the Church of Scotland is intentionally ambiguous on the controversy between supralapsarianism and _ sublapsarianism. he consequence is that in that favoured country a man may, with perfect. security to his person, his reputation, and his pro- perty, be either a supralapsarian or a sublapsarian. “T do not know,” he said, turning to contemplate the martial figure of Sam Smita, “which of the two the hon. gentle- man is. I have looked at him carefully, and think he has the air ef a sublapsarian.” House roared with laughter; but graver spirits saw in this outbreak of indiscipline occasion for profound regret. It is pro- bable that Wattace meant nothing disre- spectful or derogatory to the new Leader. e was, perhaps, primarily allured by the temptation to overcome the difficulty of ronouncing words of this structure tween eleven and twelve o’clock on a sultry night. Also, the fact that the Squire or Matwoop has loyally accepted the new Leader is of itself provocation to Wattace to attack him. His Parliamen- tary career has from the first been marked by an unaccountable antipathy to the Squrre. However it be, the public affront and its lamentable consequences are indis- putable. Dr. Tanner, a great stickler for order, had his doubts whether the use of the word sublapsarian is Parliarsentary. If he had been quite sure he could have safely steered through the sea of sibillant syllables, he would have asked the ruling of the Spzaxer. After privately trying them over, he thought it prudent to abstain. Business done.— Bangitig through the Benefices Bill. Thursday.—“*I am not sure,” said Mr. Courtney, “that in this matter the House is not moved by a spirit of pedantry.” Somebody smiled; smile grew into a titter; titter swelled to burst of laughter running round the crowded benches. Courtney stood at gaze, like Josnva’s sun at Ajalon, only with a more marked glance of pained enquiry. Had he, in spite of honest intention, made a joke? There was certainly nothing to laugh at in circumstances of the moment. Cuariin had moved to insert new clauses "ac™ wove wees THE PARLIAMENTARY MARTYRS AT THE STAKE; Or, What they will come to | Scene—(SamMveEL) Suitu-field. in a cluster of water bills. General objec- tion taken to procedure. President of Local Government Board made haste to withdraw lest a worse thing oefel him. Then Courtney interposed with observa- tion quoted, and with consequence recorded The mystery of the spontaneous burst of laughter was one of the few things in the wide world that passed Courtngr’s com- prehension. “This House, dear Tony,” he said, “is, | as Macavtay discovered more than sixty | years ago, the strangest place in the Bam Man and boy, I’ve known it for twenty- | two years; but it always has something fresh about it. At the meaning of most of its moods, one can guess. ut why, when I casually reprove it on the charge of displaying a spirit of pedantry, it should burst into laughter, is, I confess, more than I can fathom.” Business done.— Benefices Bill passed report stage.

The Sacr, desiring to minimise import- ance of stroke, pronounces the name Wee-ah-Wee.

PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI. 309 A NEW WAY WITH BANKERS. Wife. “ By THe way, Ottvg, 1 nap A LetrerR FRoM MY BANKER WHILE YOU WERE AWAY. HE sAID 1 HAD OVERDRAWN MY ACCOUNT.” Husband, ‘‘YEs, DEAR; AND WHAT DID you po!” Wife. ‘‘1 TOLD HIM NOT TO BE 80 RUDE AGAIN; AND I sENT HIM A OHEQUE FOR THE AMOUNT!” OUR BOOKING-OFFICE. Dr. Conan Doyzz has well named his verse, Songs of Action (SmitH, Exper). It pulsates with life and movement, whether the scene be laid on sea or land, on ship or on horse-back. To a pretty turn for lilting verse, the author of Rodney Stone adds the instincts of a tale-writer. Nearly all the pieces have a story to tell. They are, in fact, notes for novels. In “The Storming Party,” for example, my Baronite discerns material for a three- volume novel of the antique, now extinct, order, the last issue having been buried under London Bridge for the delectation of the New Zealander when he comes to view the ruins of St. Paul’s. Of mere episodes, never has a horse-race been described with greater vigour or with bolder colours than in “The Farnshire Cup.’ ten Innes (FisHer Unwin) is, in the Baron’s humble opinion, the best work that Mr. Grorce Moore has as yet given us. Having set himself the task of describing life as it is in fact, not in fiction, he shirks no difficulty, but tells a plam tale so ve plainly, that, but for his style, his closely-observant analysis of character, and his pecu- liar, if not quite original, method of associating music with morality,—reminding the Baron of another novel where the “che faro” of Orpheus supplies the key-note of action,— the old materials of the tale itself would scarcely be worth the stringing together. What is it but a series of variations on the old theme that served Dioxens for the incident of Little Em’ly and Sterforth, that was woven into the life of David ae field? It is the story of a girl, inheriting from her dead mother « marvellous voice, religiously brought up by her father who is a weak-minded musical enthusiast, a kind of Tom Pinch, so absorbed in his art, and so occupied in the professional duties of organist and teacher, as to have taken little more than a selfish interest in his daughter’s education. The girl’s “artistic tempera- ment,” of which a wealthy, cynical, middle-aged sensualist takes cruel advantage, is her ruin, morally, as it is her triumph, pro- fessionally. Her voice is her fortune, and this it is her middle- aged lover's re to cultivate. Then follows her decadence and just at point when another false step downwards would make it still more difficult for her to retrace steps u the upward path, she comes across Monsignor Mostyn (an irably portrait), who leads her back to the ight and narrow way, ves her there. This is the end, so far, but her career is to be “continued in” Mr. Moorr’s “next.” Decidedly, though a remarkable book, it is not one that can be indisori- minately recommended. ving taken up his parable, he works it eut consistently and conscientiously, giving himself as much trouble over the smallest details as a pre- i wont to bestow on the careful delineation of cessories. The book must increase Mr. tation as a novelist ; and it will cause the his skill to hope that it is only one of the rungs of the ladder by which he will mount to higher things. “We live in a damned wicked world,” says that “worthy man,” Sir Peter Teazle, “and the fewer we praise the better.” Read aright, the story points a very clear moral, et ca donne a penser. Of Mr. Punch’s Animal Land (Brapsury, Acnew, & Co.), drawn and written by E. T. Rexp, the popular “Prehistoric Peep Show ” man, it does not become the Baron to speak in too lauda- tory a strain, lest he be accused of deviating from his own rigid ap of strict impartiality; yet, admiring the excellent example set by a certain worthy every-afternoonly contemporary, when unable to suppress its just admiration for the weak of its own clever black-and-white man, may venture to say that never, in the whole course of his ciently- chequered career, has he seen a collection of cleverer, funnicr, and, in a general way, more intensely amusing caricatures of Contemporaneous Celebrities than is to be found in the handy- sized, well-got-up book whose attractive title heads this Ba: paragraph. Every Collector of Comical Animals throughout the world should provide himself with a sample of this eccentric creation, the possession of which will thus enrich his Zeological Library.

Oh, Bradfield students! I have much to say to you, and little time to say it. One thing, however, I must tell you. Our trien- rial play must be given on ancient lines. Tradition must be respected. Too often of late years has the Greek theatre been profaned by ladies, when all must know that in classical times no female foot over trod the stage. This shall not happen with us. Woman is rash and reckless, par- ticularly the modern woman. She rushes in where the angels fear to tread. But our Antigone shall be played by one of the Sixth Form! [He seats himself.
