'The Man with Three Wive6" Has Metropolitan
Premiere at Weber & Fields' Theater on
Thursday Evening and Meets Approval.
A new operetta, "The Man With Three Wives,"
and the third production with music by Lehar to
be presented in New York this season, had its
New York premiere at Weber & Fields' Theater
on Thursday evening of this week under the man-
agement of Shuberts, where it met with imme-
diate success. The book of the piece is by Paul N.
Potter and Agnes Morgan, and is founded on the
German original of the same title by Julius Bauer.
The lyrics are by Harold Atteridge. All the orig-
inal music by Lehar has been retained in the
American production.
The play is in three acts, the scenes being laid
in Vienna, Paris and London. The story deals with
the adventures of one Hans Ziffler, who has mar-
ried a Viennese lady, and who, it soon develops,
has^ a "betrothed" in Paris and yet another one
in London. An interesting and exciting series of
complications result, which are, of course, finally
straightened out in the last act.
The cast presenting "The Man With Three
Wives" includes Cecil Lean, Sophye Barnard, Alice
Yorke, Colly Castle, Charlotte Greenwood, Doro-
thy Webb, Ida Jeanne, Leslie Kenyon, Robert Pit-
kin, Arthur Geary, Sydney Grant, Stewart Baird
and others.
The music of the production is published by
Chappell & Co., who publish several other of the
most successful of Lehar's operettas.

GETS PULITZER BEQUEST.
Philharmonic Society of New York Meets the
Conditions of the Will of the Late News-
paper Man and Will Receive $500,000 Left
to Foster Music for the Public.
The Philharmonic Society of New York, through
its attorney, Vincent S. Nelson, asked Surrogate
Fowler late last week to direct the executors of
the estate of Joseph Pulitzer to pay to the society
a specific legacy of $500,000 and one-third of the
accrued surplus income from the shares in the
estate of two of Mr. Pulitzer's sons.
Mr. Nelson informed the Surrogate that the so-
ciety had complied with the provisions in the will
upon which the bequests were attendant—that the
society should become a membership corporation
under the laws of New York State, with a due-
paying membership of at least 1,000; that it should
represent the general public and should obtain the
approval of the executors of the estate. The attor-
ney showed flie court affidavits in which the com-
pliance of the society with these provisions was
explained in detail.
, William B. Hornblower, representing the execu-
tors of the estate, told the Surrogate there was no
contest on the part of the executors against the
bequest to the society. He merely desired, he said,
to inspect the affidavits to assure his clients that
everything was regular.

PROPOSING TO MUSIC.
The Chilian who wants to propose to a girl
without going down on his knees invites her to
dance the Cueca. As the two glide to the strains
of the soft South American music they sing a
series of questions and answers. Going up to high
G and then dropping back an octave, the young
man tells the girl he would like to start house-
keeping with her. If she likes that idea she runs
a scale or two and tells him so, meantime keeping
her feet in time with the music. But if she still
wants to be a senorita she sings a little ditty that
ends with this line: "Oh, please to take another
whirl, and sing this to some other girl."
A collection containing
135 of the old, familiar
and favorite songs which
seem to be in themselves
a part of Ameriean home
life. The varied contents,
including songs of sacred,
sentimental,
humorous,
plantation, pathetic and
patriotic character, in-
clude every really "popu-
lar" home song, and the
folio is one that cannot
be spared in any home
where music plays a part
in recreative hours. Price.

"I don't know," replied the plain, everyday per-

ragtime songs ought to be."
