By the same method of reasoning, "All the brilliants are not diamonds." This applies particularly to stage people who use ex- tensively what are supposed to be iona-ftde Jewels. In their case the Imitations answer the purpose Just as well as tbe real,' and as few people are deceived, no harm Is done. Bat In private life the lavish display of Jewels of, presumably, fabulous value, by a society woman Is, apart from an exhibition of vulgar taste, fraught with direful conse- quences. Tbe society belle who appears In public bedecked wltb precious stones repre- senting a value of $100,000 or more, causes more unrest amongst tbe hungry, toll-worn class than anything else can possibly do. Our poor people will suffer and endure hard- sbip and want so long as It appears right to them, but when these vulgar displays of wealth are made by society people, tbe ques- tion naturally presents Itself, "Why should they have so much and we so little?" It Is such thoughts as this that breed discontent in our communities, and if ever socialism gains a foothold In this country, It will be because of tbe reckless vanity of Jbe wealthy class. In early historic times It was only the freebooter, or despot, who could accumulate vast possessions of precious gems, cither as tbe spoils of war or crime, and they held tbem by force of arms, but In the present time, when fortunes are often made In a day, the society woman, In her Jealous vanity, In order to outshine a rival In her own sphere, will load herself with diamonds and pearls and other precious gems, and make a public display of herself that is disgusting. These people are sowing the wind and will surely reap tbe whirlwind. Wealth that is properly used Is perfectly right, and would excite little, if any, antagonism, but when It is flaunted In the faces of the less fortunate people, It becomes a menace to the stability of our Institutions, 11 not to tbe very founda- tions of our government. When in any coun- try wealth Is used to defeat the ends of Justice and oppress the poor, It is only a question of time when dissolution must occur, There are too many immensely wealthy peo- ple, and tbo number will continue to Increase until some statesmen will bring about a condition that -will make it unprofitable to possess more tban a reasonable amount of wealth. This was advocated forty years ago by a political economist whose views and arguments were ridiculed, but this Idea was then in advance of the times. At tbe present time there is no more important question confronting the American people than tbe restricting of the accumulation of fabulous wealth. a) »» BOSTON ADDS S4,O0O TO ACTORS' FUND.

L. Spencer Honorary Member of German Cavalry, „ „_. F. McCullough Honorary Member of East Indian Lancers, Philip Sheffield From tbe time that Robert Hood Bowers first lifted his baton at this house on Monday night, April 22. until the last bars were played, the audience was entranced by tbe melodious music In "The Rose Maid.' It was real music, written by a true musician, and his work (a this operetta places Bruno Oranlchstscdten In tbe very front rank of the Viennese composers. Just what song found the most favor Is difficult to say. All of them were well worth hearing two and three times. Tbe most prominent of them are: "Sweethearts, Wives and Good Fellows," ''King of Bohemia," "Two Little Hearts," "Roses Bloom for Lovers," "The American Heiress," "I Love You for Yourself Alone" and "Moon, Lovely Moon." Another song, which bristled with comedy lines and "busi- ness," was "Money Talks." The book of the operetta falls far below the muBlc, but It has, nevertheless, a good deal of merit. Tbe story Is a slight one, and in its translation the adapters have stuck cloRely to the text of the original libretto of the German operetta, "Boy or Girl." The story Is as follows: The Duke of Barchester, who spends all of the money that hU rich uncle, Sir John Portman. sends him, Is In love with the Princess Hilda von Lahn, who J" Tilling to marry him because he Is rich. ■The duke gets Into debt and three scheming money lenders of the Gentile faith lend him money, with a view of collecting the same, plus heavy interest, from the duke's wealthy uncle. The uncle, however, "gets wise," pre- tends that he is married and has an heir, and leaveB the young duke In the clutches of the money lenders. One of the latter refuses to lend more money to Mme. Schuyler and she decides to get even. She tells the duke's parlor maid that If she desires her master to he happy she should Impersonate an Ameri- can heiress, worth $50,000,000, for the money lenders are going to auction off the duke In marriage to a rich American woman, and thus get the money back which they have ad- vanced to the young nobleman. As the par- lor maid Is really in love with the duke, and as be has Just been Jilted by the princess when she learned of the change In the finan- cial condition of her fiance, she consents, Of course, before the Anal curtain they find that they were meant for one another, and as the rich uncle states that he deceived them and is not married and will pay his nephew's debts, all ends well. J. H. Duffey was entrusted with the role of the spondthrlt duke, end, while his acting was at times amateurish, he more than made up for this shortcoming by his singing. He hSB an uncommonly fine tenor voice, and the applause bestowed upon blm at tbe end of the songs whb loud and sincere. The role makes hesvy demands upon his voice, but he more than proved equal to It Adrlenne Augarde, as the parlor maid, who wishes her master's happiness before everything, was charming and graceful, and, while her voice Is scarcely of the prima donna brand, It was very pleasant to listen to. In the scene where she Impersonated the heiress she was at her best. The comedy of the piece was entrusted to Ed. Gallagher and Al. Shean, as the money lenders, and thev got plenty of laughs from very little material. They really did more for tbe piece than did the librettist. Edith Decker has in the role of the Prin- cess very little opportunity to show how clever she 1b as a singer and an actress. A-real hit was scored by a pretty and shapely young woman, Dorothy FolUs by name, who a few weeks ago was in the chorus. She was given lines to speak, songs to sing and dances to dance, and she vindi- cated the judgment of the managers, for sbs Bang nnd danced delightfully. H. E. Graham, as the rich old uncle, Bur- rell Barbarette as Bertie Walpole, Arthur Laceby and Juliette Dlka made their roles more conspicuous than did the authors and may all he credited with doing excellent work. Emllie Lea scored a distinct success with her high kicking and her artistic and diffi- cult dancing. One of the most popular features'of ths entire performance was the appearance of six of the prettiest and "cutoBt" little girls ever seen on the local stage, pushing miniature baby carriages. They were used as "scenery" SssmPiSK 5S»JW'! Fondly." "nig W Edith Decker and R. B. Graham. Tbe audi- ence demanded this number more tban five times. ,, W i£ ba * L-wseh**, In producing "The Rose Maid, spent money galore for scenery, cos- tumes, gowns and hats, with the result that no finer production has been seen In New lork In a long time.

The young lady'B singing is not bed. The closing dance ap- pealed to the gallery. Mac Dugal nnd company, In a sketch por- traying child life on the lower East Side, went very well. The scenery pictures the abode of several young newsboys on a dock In the neighborhood of one of the East River bridges. There are three boys and a girl in •he act The girl appears first In boy's make-up, and later doubles as a society lady interested in the Gerry Society. The young- est boy puts over some very good singing, in the closing scene we see the oldest boy's dream of an amateur night at a burlesque Blanche.

Ferguson, mgr.) —Perhaps It was because the day was a beautiful one from every standpoint that caused a drop in the usual big Thursday at- tendance, for there were several unoccupied seats In the orchestra and balcony April 25 when the new vaudeville show came In for the semi-weekly change of bill. Two young women, announced as Young and Young, opened the vaudeville end of Thursday's bill In character songs, their first being In boy and girl "kid" costumes, and which they put over very well. Their single numbers which followed also went well, and they took two bows on their closing song, "Ragtime Goblin Man." They also gave a spirited rendition of "Oh George 1" Avcllng and Lloyd, two young men in neat Spring suits, followed in a line of excellent dialogue, with a couple of comedy songs for good measure. Their patter had the refresh- ing worthiness of being mostly new, but, curiously enough, an "old timer, 1 ' which has been told to audiences here many times this season, got, by far, the most laugbs. It may well be said that "old friends arc the best friends." Leslie Horosco and company appeared in their rather far-fetched sketch, wherein a young man's Inheritance of 12G0,0O0 is In- vested In stock speculation, and after much agony to the young man, caused by the fluctuations of said stock, he eventually makes It a million, which he must have in order to obtain the hand of his employer's daughter In marriage. The yonng man woraed bard and deserved to win out. The sketch was rather well done and the audience liked It Edmond Stanley and company produced a high class vocal sketch In a manner worthy of any vaudeville program.

Flo and OlUe Walters, two very young girls, assisted by a small kitten, were a bit. The smaller of the two Is a very cute little girl, and has many attributes of a good actress. The girls dress prettily and made a very good Impression. "Sunshine," a dramatic sketch, endeavored to show how an old Italian, whose son had been stolen a number of years before, Anally finds him happily married. The son refuses to acknowledge his father, which nearly breaks tbe old man's heart Everything ends happily. The sketch Is nicely staged, show- ing the son's home, and the acting of the lather was very good. Gene and Arthur, a woman who dresses well and plays a piano nicely, and a young man with a good voice, offered a very nice musical act. Each renders a specialty, then tbey close was a song. In Bchcnp's Circus we see an animal act slightly different from tbe majority. A young man, whom we take to be Scbepp, keeps up a continuous line of talk through- out, some of which is clever. In the act there arc a number of dogs, several monkeys, four ponies and the Inevitable unrldable mule. There are no sensational features, but Schepp seemed to hold tbe audience as few nnlmoi acts do. »fi THEATRE, B'way and 48d St 0 Eves. 8.U. Mats.
