Although the French authors aro saidto have abandoned the triangle as adramatic expedient, it seems that it stillpossesses some attraction for our ownplaywrights.

The Percy (1. Williams circuit of vaude-ville and stock theatres in New Yorkhas been purchased by H, F. Keith, oneof the originators of high class continuous performances, who has associatedwith him several Influential vaudevillemanagers. The theatres purchased Include the Colonial Theatre. Broadway andSixty-secon- d street: tho iMhatnbra,Seventh avenue nnd lVtith street: theHronx Theatre, ami the OrpheumTheatre, the- - Clreetipolnt Theatre,' thellushwick lbeatre and the Crescentand (iotham theatres in Brooklyn. Thelast three mentioned are devoted to stockproductions. Not long ago Mr. Williamsrefused an offer of J.Vnnu.ooo for this chainof theatres.

The purchase price of Mr. Williams'seight tlmaties, il was learned last night.was between ."i,(1,oji and $0,000,uui.The protiorty will not be taken over untilJuly I, which will give Mr. v Illinois anopportunity to till out his present sitason.

In addition to the purchase of theWilliams circuit Mr. Keith has closed adeal with Sleyerfeld Heck of tin;Orpheum circuit. Mrs. ('. K. Kohl ofCt'icago and Max Anderson of this citywlijch has olurifled the vaudevillo situa-tion and brought about one of the largestcombinations of Interests known iu thetheatrical world. In forming the newcombination Mr. Keith lias associatedwith him K. F. Albee. who has long beenhis general manager; A. Paul Keith andJohn J, Murdock In Chicago the vaude-villo interests will bo under the directionof Mrs. Kohl, Max Anderson and theMonroe Amusement Coniiany. West ofChicago the Orpheum circuit, of whichMartin Heck is the head, will be in charge.In Chicago Mr. Heck has recently builtthe Palace Theatre, and he now hasbuilding here another Palace Theatre,nt Broadway and Forty-sevent- h street,

It has frequently been reported of latthat Mr. Williams, who has becomewealthy through his theAtres, had soldout, nnd several possible purchasers havobeen mentioned. Mr. Villlams has asfrequently denied the sale of his Interests,but has been frank to admit that he wouldwillingly sell if lift could get his price,which he did not tell to the newspapermen. It was only recently that Mr.Keith's name has been mentioned at all,notwithstanding that negotiations werebegun in Miami, I'la., where Mr. Keithspent the winter, several weeks ago.

Associated with Mr. Keith In the pur-chase of the Williams theatres are Mrs.C. K. Kohl of Chicago, James H. Mooreor Detroit, M. Shea of Buffalo, HarryDavis of Pittsburg and Diment A Duf-flel- d

of the Canadian circuit, all of whomwill be stockholders in the newly ac-

quired New York holdings.The bookings of the H. F. Keith circuit

and the Orpheum circuit, reaching fromocean to ocean, will be done togetherin tho present offices of the Orpheumcircuit iu the Putnam Building. Uponthe completion of the New Pala.ce Theatrehere In the fall tho offices will be movedthere. In taking over the Williams cir-

cuit no changes will be made in tho staffsof the theatres J J Moloney, who hnslone lieen associated with Mr. Keith,will remain in that relation.

Tho lawyers engagisl in the transactionwere Maurice (ioodman, attorney for theUnited Booking Ofllces; John F Cronanof for Mr Keith and Stud in A

"The deal just nut through is a happysolution of our dilueulties, utid is mostsntisfaelory to us iu every respect.

Frederick Townsend Martin, who is tosail morning for ngland towane a camnatan against idleness, visitedhis friends at tho Bowery Mission last J

night and after giving them a tnllc pro-vided them all with snipper. Four hundred members of tho brotherhood of tlieMission and otlier friends of Mr. Marthifilled the seaH of the hall and hulf usmany again were turned away from thedoor.

The meeting began at s o'clock, but Mr.Martin didn't arrive until it was nearlyover. Tlie men all stood up when hefinally came in and gavo the mission yell,"Kali, ludi. Rah, Tiger," and it was severalminutes licfore the liandclapping stopped.

"Tlie day has como when we must nilrealize that we nre brothers." began Mr.Martin. "You must realize that you arethe same as I that our hearts ate alllieatlng with sympathy for those about us.

"I nm one who trii-- s to pull people up.Never get discouraged; sometimes I thinkthe rich and poor alike havo got to bet.nieht lessons. If there is anything ntall in me worth whtlo it all came Tromdisappointment If anything goes wrongwith me I think that it is some punishmentI deserve.

Mr Martin had been speaking ex-

temporaneously all this timo but after-ward he read some "thoughts" whichhe said lie had prepared for tho occasion

"1 regard it ns one of the greatest priv-ileges of mv life to lovo you," he Paid tothe men "t belong to you; I um whollynt one with vou with you nnd with allhumanity who need tne 1 came here to-night to' get inspiration from you .all,to have my life surcharged ith the feel-ing that your presence arouses withinmv breast".

"I must say to you atl revolr but notgood-b- y

"You are my brother, bone of mybone, flesh of mv tlesJi, and life of mylife "

In referring to tho Titanic disaster Mr.Martin said.

"There was not one coward among nilthose who went down. When people saythat our species are going down, thinkof those noble, splendid mortals. They'reiu bliss."

There were more yells and more handclapping when Mr. Martin sat down anilthen joined in singing "(!odbe with you til) wo meet again " Themen had not been told before Ihn meet-ing that Mr. Martin hud provided u sup-per for them, and when it was announcedtie-r- e were louder yells nnd louder handclappings than ever. Mr. Martin wasasked if he would stay to M!pH-r- , but besaid lie couldn't because his talk hudtaken so much nut of him.

The London Symphony Orchestra, inn-duel-

by Arthur Niklsch, gave, at theMetropolitan Opera House last eveningthe "first or two farewell concerts. Theoilier will tako place this afternoon ntCarnegie Hall. It Is a pity that theenlerluninieul of last night could notlia;o Imcn given iu the same (place.Cnriieglo Hall is not an ideal repiirt formusic lovers, but it is much better Kuitedlo serious concerts than the opera Diotise,of which the acoustics are deadly to anorchestra- placed on the stage.

In spite of the abolition of mosUof thesonority of tho strings nnd tho 'forcinginto prominence of a pair of lympanlwhich sounded in the conditions muchlike n pair of tin washhoilers the. playingof the Loudon Symphony Orchestraapparently gave much pleasure to anaudience of good si.e.

The orchestral numbers were' Wagner's"Hienzl" overture, UeethovenVflfth sym-phony, the prelude to "Par4lfal," thefuneral march from "Onltordfir.imerung."the br.cchauale from "TunnhSuser" andtho "MeisterHingcr" v6rspiel. it certainlywas u feast

Tho performance of the symphony wasthe most noteworthy feature of theorchestral aft, for here Mr. Niklsch 'skeunly analytic methods and his sure wayof making incUivc all his points withoutut any time doing violence to the composerwere brought, into the highest evidence.It was an utltnirablo reading and wasdeservedly applauded.

The orchestra had the aid of KlenaOerhardt, tli lieder singer, whose firstnumber was an nir by (Joetr. with ac-companiment or orchestra. It made butsmall effect, and indeed failed to showMiss (ierliatdt's best powers. But afterthe funeral march she sang a group ofStrauss songs with piano accompani-ments pluyed by Mr. Nikisch. and thiswas an entirely different affair.

In the first place the songs were bettersuited to a display of the most engagingqualities of Miss Gerhardt's excellentart, and in tho second place Mr. Nikischdemonstrated that he is still the princeof accompanists. The four songs were"Ituhe, meine Seele." "Stuendchen,""Morgen nnd "Wiegenlied."

In the charming serenade Mr. Nikischprovided im accompaniment of suchshimmering color, such transparency andsuch exquisite nuance that tne audiencebecame quite enthusiastic and the songhad to be repeated.

TRIBUTE TO Mt, AND MM. STRAUS

Raid by Speakers al Crowded Metttni InTempi Ohah Zedtk.

A .mmortal ncrvtce for Mr. and Mr.IsldoV Straus was held last night at theTemple Ohah Zcdek, 18 West 118thstreet, which was attended by 2,000 per-rons, and more were turned away atthe doors for' lack of room. Some ofthose present were: Jacob II. BchlfT,Hherlff Julius Harburger, PresidentJohn K. Klnley of City College, andmany prominent Jews. Daniel T. Hays,n lawyer and er of Justice(Jreenbnum, made nn Address of eu-

logy on Mr. nnd Mrs. Straus, as didJtnbbl M. 8. Margolles'of Temple Kehl-lat- h

.Teibtlrun.After I tabid Bernard Tlrachman, as-

sistant to rtuhbl Philip Klctn tn theTemple Ohuh Kedrk, had opened theservices with a prayer the cantor, M.Kanensky, with u choir of 21, chantedu memorial set-vic- e for the dead.

Mr. Hays tn bis address said:"We've lost u great man, not became

he was n successful merchant and busi-ness man, but because he was a manthat loved his fellow men. Therewas something tn lsldor Btraus thatwas ii direct gift of God, apd whilethe man Is dead, his spirit Is with us

"In Mrs. Straus was typified the IdealJewish mother. All the virtues forwhich the Jewish mother lias beenfamous were reincarnated and given tothe world In her noble death. Whenopportunity wau given her lo live nfew years longer and as hands wereabout to lift her Into a boat she turnedand saw the face of her husband andhow sweet tlm words: 'We hae beentogether so many years. Where yougo, I go.'"

I'esolutions rehearsing (he work oftsidor Straits on behalf of the HebrewOrphan Asylum were read by LtiwardLauterhach nt the annual meeting oftho asylum yesterday. That part of theresolutions which most touched those whoheard it was as follows:

Conscious as we were of the devotionof this noble man for the noble woman,his wife, his faithful ally, It could scarcehave been Imagined that the Intensity oftheir affection was so great, that theirunity had been so firmly established, thatwhen death In Its moat alarming aspectcame to claim the husband. Ida Straus,the wife, the mother of their children,cast aside the opportunity of longer exis-tence, of reunion with her family, andresting upon the shoulder that had solong sustained her, preferred union In anImmediate appalling death to a widowedexistence.

The Scriptural parallel pledged a unitedlife only: her last utterance, "We havelived together for many years : where yougo I go," enacted union tn Impendingdeath. Inspiriting as were these lives ofusefulness, accomplishment and

with their splendid example ofdomestic happiness and felicity, greaterIs the stimulation to us all toward thelofty Ideal which their heroic death af-fords.

A Titanic memorial service was heldyesterday In the Home of the Daugh-ters of Jacob, at Bast Uroadway andScammel atreet. Mr. and Mrs. IsldorStraus were well known to the 185aged Inmates of the home, who sor-rowfully took part In the services. Asubscription of $700 waa taken to erecta tablet at the home In honor nf Mr.and Mra. Straur It waa also voted toform a cortege of coachea draped tnblack to accompany (he body ot Mr.Straus from the pier.
