A. good deal la likely to be heard during
the year of Beethoven as the 125t11 anniversary -
'versary ot his bIrth flllls In December , and
there are already many schemes afoot for a .
particular celebration of the occasIon. In
England Mr. llensehe11 , has announced thlll
he will commemorate the event by devoting
the first part of each of hIs lIne Concerts to
works by Beethoven and will produce , as far
aa posslblo In chronololcal order , all the
'overtures , four or five pianoforte concerts ,
the concerto and romances for violin and the
nine symphonlcs. Amateurs and those who
desire an cnducatlonal experience on the
great composer have already manifested specIal -
cIal Interesl In Mr. Henschell's program.
The popular Idea of the personality ot Beethoven -
thoven Is likely \ also to undergo Borne modlfi-
feation A new portrait the existence ot
whIch was not oven suspected , has been dls-
, covered. This portrait represents him as a
much sprucer person than we have been accustomed -
cuatomed to and may have been painted In
ono of those rare moments when the composer -
poser made an effort to conform to the dictates
of society and fashIon. Dut ho was a difficult
sitter for a paInter-for bo was a man who
would wander bareheaded In a gale while
brooding over a new symphony , or who would
shave at . his bedroom wIndow , to the undisguised - .
disguised delight of the street arabs

the younger generlllton to witness a produc-
tion thaI for thirty years has enjoyed a
degree of popularity never equalled by any
other attraction Il was "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" that first created the wave of sentiment -
mont In favor of the millions held In bondage
In the cotton fields and plantations of the
sunny south , thAt resulted In the abolllton of
slavery. Il offers a pleasing contrast to the

hIstory and an uncompromising champion of
homo rule. The barren truths ot history
are by him invested with fresh charms.
His delivery Is attractive , his voIce Is pleasing -

lightful. Mr. Murphy Is an Inter stlng and
versallle personallly. 110 became ? a singer
of grand and light operas In his early life In
Boston , and sUbsequently was a manager of

lies also tranlllated Into English a consider-
'
able number of poems from the Hungarian
German and Danish languages. Mr. Murphy
has a magnIficent baritone voice and his
renditIon of Irish and other songs excites en-

An evening 0' rare enjoyment Is assured
theater goers at the Boyd on Thursday , Fri-
day and Saturday nights next , when Sadie
Martinet , supported by Max Flgman will be
seen In the successful comedy , "The Pass-
port " Wherever Sadie Marllnot bas appeared
site has been greeted by audiences composed
ot the fashion and aocoty : ot the place She
lies a reputation which few . other actresses
enjoy of being able to simulate the sweetness
and tendencies 0' II girlish disposition and al
the same time Imbue It with all the comedy
that Is possible. Mr. AI Southerland , man-
ager of this attraction , baa striven In every
WilY to cater to the very best theater goers.
The pitee Itself Is refined and free from coarseness -
ness or horse-play , whIle It Is filled with
humor and ludIcrous altuaUons. The company -
pany selected Is In the highest order for
excellence and / Includes many- welt known
names The production as a whole Is prom-
teed to rival any other production or comedy
ever seen on the road. The part which MIss
Martinet will assume Is that of a capricIous
young widow , whose great feat 0' forgetting
everythIng imaginable succeeds In forever
getting herself and everybody else Into the
most impossible and ludIcrous of sCfllpes.
The scenes are laId on the frontier of Rus-
ala and In England Miss Martinet , , while
In England last slimmer procured ) many
novel scenes for stage ' pictures , which are
used In the play , and also purchased a num-
ben of beautiful and costly costumes and
tolleUes from Felix and Worth which . have

Probably such a scene as was witnessed
Monday night : al 'lhe Metropolitan opera
house NeW' York , Is without a rival In the :
world or music. Such enthusiasm , such an
ovation as Maurel and Mme Eames receIved
has never been equalled , If wo are to believe
the New York papers of Tuesday. The house
was a garden of color , the swells of Golhllm
were In front , society with all its brilliant
entourage was present and the trIumph ot
Maurel was worthy the great composer and
thin management whIch has gotten together
the greatest 0' operatic organIzations. The
critic of the New York Herald , writing 0'
the production says :
VerdI-Well. what 'Is one to say of this ,

the greatest but also the youngest man In

abode was ao lavishly decorated with flowers ,

birthday and for the company who had
been so long and ao arduously rehearsed .by
Mallrol , , that oyerythlng went ort without

Impresses you most In listening to Verdl's

Mr. .Tree , Is an aCknowledged master of the
art of "make-up. " In thIs qUllllty he stands
'In marked contrast to Mr. Irving and many
other leading English actors , who place great
dependence upon the peculiar Indlvldullllly
of their own countenances In their representation -
sentatlon of a character. Mr Tree Is able It
Is mid to render himself as repulsIvely ugly
In time character.ns ho Is to transform himself
the next night If need be . Into time moat Irre-
slstlble of men. Of his ability In facial
transformation an amusing story Is told
"Called Dack" had been running In London
some time and Mac Carl had become welt
known to playgoers Mr. Tree had accepted
an invitation to recite at a. great benefit
matinee at St. James lIalt. Two old women.
were In time audience \ . and just before Mr.
Tree made his appearance one of them was
heard. to say :
"Mr , Tree will come next. You will be
certaIn to recognize hIm because ho , Is ao
handsome. Ho Is tall , and ho baa long l ; , soft ,
black haIr which curIa over his forehead.
He lies a fine moustache 100. "
Al that moment Mr. Tree stepped to the
footlights A look of perplexity amid chagrin
came Into time woman's taco and her hands
were lifted , In despair _
"Oood Lord " shin ! exclaimed "he hasn'l
got black hair : at all-he's 'R blonde
And It Is also said of Mr. Tree that when
he made his first appearance aa DemetrIus In
"The Red Lamp , " after ho assumed control
of tIme 1Illymarl.ot theater he was on the
stage several moments before ho was recog-
nized : notwithstanding thaI the theater was
