Mies Gunning ia the latest ster of . the Sbubert constellation, though for a number of years she has been known as the leading coloratura soprano of comic opera in the country. Several seasons 'ago abe was a co-star with Louis Harrison in the dainty French comic opera. " Veronlque, and recent- | ly appeared in Philadelphia .as prima ; donna in the English comic opera 1 "Tom Jones.' In "Marcel le, " Pixley and Luders. 1 the composers, who also wrote "The Prince of PilseiV have supplied Miss Gunning with an excellent starring vehicle, or, to quote one New York musical authority, "Marcelle" is such a charming creature [that she will pro- < bably pluck, the laurels from "The < Widow Brow" aad. reign queen of the ' theatrical season of 1908-9." 1 " Miss Gnnning'8 voice ia of exeep- 1 tional quality and tone. It has been 1 cultivated with care. The' E flat in 1 alto, reached by Mme. Tetrazzlni last ' season, and which was the sensation of the operatic world, is taken four 1 times in one evening by Miss Gunning, who is pemape the onjy singer on the 1 stage with the exception of the famous i operatic prima donna who can strike f that dote with the clearness and full- J ness required. a "Marcelle.

en acknowledged success, and it is only through a curious chain of circumstances that Miss Gunning is compelled to leave at the xenith'of her popularity. The scenes of "Marcelle" are laid In and around the Oastle Berghof in J Germany, which gives ample opportunity for the beautiful display of 1 Scenery and picturesque costumes of ' the locality. Miss Gunning impersonates the character of a French actress, and during 1 the play, appears for the first time in ; her stage career in hoy's clothes. In support nf Miss Gunning, the Messrs. Shuhert have supplied a com- j pany of seventy. Among the princip 'Is In the all-star cast are.

Lawrence Wheat, Robert O'Connor, David Bennett, Edith Girvan, Elsa Ryan, Leone Anderson, Marian" Ford, Nettie Black and others. No announcement of the present theatrical season has caused more uni- . versal satisfaction than that of the current engagement of Lew Fields and the musical play, "The Girl Behind j the Counter," at tfce Lyric Theatre. The last week of the engagement be- 1 gins Monday night. , In this Americanized play Mr. Fields, so long- and 'so meritoriously 1 known as the producing end of the 1 famous firm of Weber and Fields, has 1 been seen to marked advantage as 1 Henry Schniff, "the multi lied mil- I - lionaire.

Rowland Munroe, attorney for the ' Anti-Saloon League, the letter pubbelow, and as it was is reply to letter previouslv published by us and signed "A Looker-On. " we «ent it to ' the gentleman who uses this nom de 1 plume, and we also published his reply. ' letters will be found interesting Newark, N. J.. Nov. 16. 1908 1 tne Editor of the Star and Wave : j | My attention has been drawn to the signed "A Looker On" in your ' issue of November 14th. As attorney ! for the Anti-Saloon League of New I desire to make reply thereto ' and trust that in the interest of accur- J and fairness you will give it space. ' I judge that "A Looker On" was ' s 1 Judge that "A Looker On"

y more than a mere looker on and hence i- was in a position to know the inacd curacy of the statements h» makes. "There ar- "one so blind as those who d won't see." n j To start with I want to agree with ■ | one of the opening sla'emenfs of this f | letter. It says, "A fu'l knowledge f | of the provisions of th« Bill. «ogeth r j with a side-ljght on the person of its - sponsor, might make material differ 1 [ence in the judgment pronounced." 1 This is true and I desire to furnish ithi« "knowledge" and "side-light." s Who is "sponsor ' for the bill? The " ! Anti-Saloon League of New Jersey, 5 , which is the federation ofthe Presbyf terian, Methodist, Baptist, Reformed, • Congregational, Friends and other de- ' nominationel church bodies of our ! state, who elect, or approve the elec- ■ tion of, their representatives, accord- : ing to the number of the members of ■ their denomination in the stated on the State Board of the League. !o this | way the League officially and authori- ; tatively represents over three hundred thousand church members of this state. This is the "sponsor" for the Local 1 Option Bill. "A Looker On" would i have -uaJielieye that J. Frank Burke,. I State Superintendent of the League, the active, efficient, indomitable, ex- ■ ecutive of the League, was sponsor'and could be safely abused Land, by-the-way, the .measure of the abuse of such man is the measure of bis efficiency against his abusers) ; but as a matter of fact the writer drafted the Local Option Bill, as originally introduced Mr. Burke left Illinois, where he was attorney for the League, and the writer has drafted every Local Option Bill since. Moreover, the fea- : of the Bill, including the Ward feature, wer£. agreed upon in • long i and carefully argued conference of the > Board, which consists of qbout I representative clergymen and Jay- j men with a very high degree of inUiiJ- - and independence of tfesogfat. 1 Tbare this Ward feature was narefuilr j discussed to have the BUI introduced j Dot so important a mmB < by the State BaanL -

"qpooaor" for the BUI, " A full knowl- . edge," of which, I quite agree with "A Looker On," "might make maMial difference in the judgment pro7 nameed." * And now for this Ward feature itself —the bagaboo of last year's Bill, the ' convenient refuge and place- to-Wde-behind of many of the Assembly ■ of last .year, one of whom it may well he I was "A Looker On"— what of that? . Did it propose to leave any town or city that as a whole was "dry, "or likely to vote "drv," such aa Bndgeton, IMUlville and Vineland, to ths mercy of ooe ward whiclj might vote "wet" and thus introduce lioenae into . the city, as "A Looker On" asserts? ' Absolutely not! Never! And the " gentleman from Cumberland County who introduced the amendment h— t this pointed oat to him, and had sug- ^ gested to him an addition to the Bill which would make this fact absolutely * dear, though no more certain, and he since has expressed his satisfaction " that this is so. This fact must be perj fectly familiar to "A Looker On." _ who seems to be ao well posted. He tells only a halfvlruth, with the apparent attempt to mislead and misrepresent To explain juft how this ward feature could not operate as [charged, let me 1 state that the bill provided for a vote r by munidpalities as a whole, as well r as a vote by wards separately ; and it ■ further provided that if a town or ' dty as a whole voted "dry" no ward could be "wet" as that would nullify | the vote pi the people of the town or dty. This was the only way the Bill at any time could have been legally in- ■ terpreted, but to doubly assure those J who feared otherwise it was suggested i to specifically indude this in the Bill. \ ; This was afterward done by those who ! prepared the Bill, I myself drawing the addition. And (vet in the face of ■ this, "A LookerX)n ' ' in his dosing : paragraph says: "The opposition ' which developed in this locality at : least .... was not directed against the j ' principal of Local Option but against | 1 that provision of it which rendered the ' entire Bill virions, and- the refosal if I ' its sponsor to strike from it that pro- ' vision must lead one to question the ' s'neerity or intelligence of that ' sponsor." 1 And, let me say in cloisng. while ' the removal of the right of wards to 1 vote separately on the question of the ' continuance of license removes the ' only immediate chance of us who live 1 in the large cities of our stale to pfo-- E tect our own homes from proximity with the saloo-, a right enjoyed and ' exercised by the people of other states, 8 this year's Local Option Bill will not I have this ward provision, as the c Anti-Saloon Leagqe stands for pro- 8 gress and the greatest good of the c greatest number on this saloon prob- v leai. and means to leave no such pretext this year for the legislators who 1 want to appear to favor what "A '' Looker On" himself calls "s principle 1 which is admittedly that of pure self- a government" while delivering the vote 1 the other side. Pome day the people s of the cities will demand and get re- 8 r I

b lie'. In the meantime the simplest, most fundamental principle of Local Option, that applied to municipalities only, is all that is asked for in this ' year's Local Option Bill; Will "A I Looker On'' tell us how be stands " G. ROWLAND MUNROE. " Attorney for Anti-Saloon League of r New Jersey. : — i Cape May City, N. J.. Nov. 25. 1908 i , Editor of Star and Wave ; The worthy attorney for the Anti- j ; Saloon League seems to speak with | considerable certainty respecting the | . identity of "A Looker On. " Let him be assured, however, that, in thi— iu- . stance at least, his keen faculty of de- . duction has led him, with much atten- j dant injustice to a broad-minded and I upright Member of the Assembly, into r the by-ways and hedges. The insin- . uated author of the communication Is. j . unless he has had "bis attention . drawn" to it, totally unaware of its] I existence. "A Looker On" he has | been in very fact and, at times, as he ' I has observed the mental and moral I I gymnastics of some seekers "after I notoriety.' 'a very much amused looker-' on indeed. And so Burke is not sponsor for the | Local Option Bill of last session ! This is refreshing. It is the verdant oasis | in the illogical desert of the communication. In his dense and beclouded, I yea, criminal ignorance, "A Looker- i On" had, in his haste, arrived at the conclusion that Burke, to use the ver- ■ nacular, was the "whole works." Well! Well! And he was merely the |. State Superintendent, shining by the : i reflected light of "over three hundred 1 1 thousand church members. " And. all j i unwittingly, "A Looker-On," as one ! of the three hundred thousand, has 1 , been centering his little light that ' i -with more distinctness," the State I Superintendent might iopm large! ■ ia a revsMMnn He was not , Sjafc* "poke tor him. It 1 m oonyeysd to the ioptrinten- ' much baste, that "A " together with a number 8 i

3 "" r insist upon choosing their own spokes- j r man. Let him not" speak for them. I If, as states Mr. Munroe, "the I . I measure of the abuse of such a man ia | | the measure of his efficiency against | I his abusers," then the devil must be , | very efficient indeed as "against those ' , who abuse him. Ergo the devil ! , ! must be very efficient against Burke. Will not Mr. Munroe kindly illumin- j I , ate the men tar darkness of a "Looker- ! i On" by explaining the process of hfs I reasoning when, in drafting the Bill, | ; j set forth that a town, by voting dry i I as a whole, thereby becomes no-license 1 ■ territory, even though one or more wards vote wet ; yet in towns which 1 vote wet as a whole but wherein one f or more wards vote dry those wards should be allowed to remain dry ter. ritory? Is this what is termed Majority | It appears to a"A Looker-On" sauce for' the goose only. This ) would make an infant in'logic and the Application of Principles squirm in its | seat and causes all broad-minded, con- j structive men to turn away in disgust. The striking out of the ward provisin the proposed Bill for the coming session, thereby, as Mr. Munroe 1 properly states, giving "the most fun- I damental principle of Local Option" is direct admission that the ward principle is erroneous. A "Looker On" will "stand on that. " If Burke, and those whom lie represents (not claims to) would cease to look upon all men who disagree with the doctrines they advance "8 criminals and outlaws, notwithstanding that they may be nstio « builders, they miiiht eventually measure up to the stature of Real Men. - ^ In the meantime Burke i« still striv-
