Elfriede Stoffre-pen, pianist, tomorrow evening, fls Illustrations to Thomas Whitney Surette's second Brooklyn Institute lecture recital in a "Series of Beethoven Sonatas." The ing story, which. If well told by author actors, might very well make a hit. Mr. Pincro nays that "Preserving Mr. Panmure" which opens at the Lyceum on Tuesday.

"Is at best only a comic play, a light, trivial thing, written as a relaxa tion from more serious work." Taking him at his word, it should be added that a good playwright is sometimes at hi best when he takes himself least seri ously. Witness Mr. Barrle in Slice of Life." On Tuesday also the Viennese Operetta Company, which gave some excellent performances in Brooklyn a few weeks ago, presents a revival of Offenbach's opera bouffe "Die schocne Helena." at the Irving Place Theater. Offenbach's score has not lost Its freshnoRS since this operetta was first performed in 1864. and its renewed performance will be welcome.

Madame Simone's wellwishcrs are a little doubtful about the success of the experi-mtnt which she will make on Wednesday. Medieval romance and twentieth century Manhattan have little in common, and the genius of Rostand, his translator and his Interpreters will have to show their best to win sympathy and appreciation for the play. All the more credit to them for making the attempt and the greater their triumph if it succeeds. A Pnul Armstrong play succeeds "The Red Widow" at the Astor on Thursday. According to the "past performances" of the authors, "The Greyhound" ought, to prove entertaining melodrama.

Mrs. Fiske at the Empire Monday in a Besier Comedy.

This young English dramatist Is already known to America by his niv pntitietl "Hon Hia later comedv.

"Lady Patricia." won success In London a8t spring, and a London critic described it as "truly a model comedy, which, witn the next generation of playgoers Is quite likely to become a classic by reaHou of its clever characterization, arresting dia-lougue and sparkling wit." Mr. Besier, In reference to "Lady Patricia." recently said to a London interviewer: "In my first three plays, my idea was to make the action as simple as pussiule i to make one episode and only one, the whole theme of the play. In order to uimik, auuui lino oui 1 1 i iiij models in construction the Greek dramatists, and as strictly as was possible observed their methods. But In 'Lady have purposely departed from my previous methods. In this play I am satirizing the artificialities of life, and on that account It seemed to me that the restraint and directness of placid construction, when treating such a theme, would not be artificially correct.

Therefore, 1 set to work to build 'Lady Patricia' on old French comedy lines, making its construction as humorously artificial as Us characters. To my Intense joy. the majority of the leading grasped my plan of campaign, but some censured me for what they termed an artificial style, little knowing the pains I had taken to Infuse this mechanical quality." The story of the comedy may be easily and quickly told. Lady Patricia has married Michael Cosway. But she also likes William O'Farrell, the son of a neighbor, a slangy, breezy, practical youth.

Lady Patricia le at great paias to keep her be a of J. be at of all Fine Concert by. Alliance Francaise. The Brooklyn group of the Allianca Francaise held its February social reunion' last "Saturday night at the Hotel Mohawk. The- programme began with a short Rk.rrh 1 Purr.

An Offenbach Revival at the Irving Place Tuesday. An civent for which the New York theatrical world has been waiting for some time is announced. At the Irving Place Theater on Tuesday night there will be a revival of Jacques Offenbach's opera bouffe "Die srhor-ne Helena," which was given in Relnhardt's Kuenstler Theater In Munich last Bummer. The story of this operetta, which was first given in J864 In the Thefiter of Varieties in Paris, is a travesty of the story of "Helen of Troy." Mr. Amberg saw the Relnhardt revival last July, and promises to follow the stage management of Director Relnhardt.

Helen will be played by Grete Meyer. Pails will be sung by Paul Verheyn, the favorite tenor of the Viennese Operetta Company. Mr. Amberg "has enlarged his chorus and orchestra for this production, and has engaged a number of American ballet and show girls. An early revival of this operetta In English has been announced by the Messrs.

Shubert. Simone in Rostand's Romance at the Hudson Wednesday. For the next to the last offering in her repertoire, Mme. simone has chosen Edmond Rostand's "La Prlncesse Loin-talne," or, as it is known in the English version by Louis N. Parker, "The Lady of Dreams." The period is the golden age of romance.

The scenes are laid on the deck of a caravel and in the hall of the palace of Melissinda, Princess of the Orient, Countess of Tripoli. Rostand's romance is the story of the beautiful Princess Melissinda, about whom Prince Geoffrey Ru.lel, a troubadour of Aquitaine, dreams until the dream becomes so much a part of him that he must needs set out in a caravel on a perilous journey to Tripoli. Accompanying him on quest is his good friend, Bertram of Allamanon, a Provencal knight and troudadour. By the time the Tripoli-tan shores are sighted the Prince is sick. Bertram volunteers to go ashore and prevail upon the Princess to come with him back to the caravel.

He finds his way to the palace beset by many difficulties, as a royal suitor for the hand of Melissinda has set to guard her a certain knight of the Verdant Armor, whom the envoy must first overcome. When finally Bertram wins his way to the side of the Princess it is to have her mistake him for Geoffrey his I principal, and this scene witnesses the quick development of a mutual love. How-Bertram remains true to his friend and how the Prince is rewarded for his pilgrimage is told In the best style of Rostand. Some years ago Mme. Sarah Bernhardt originated "La Prlncesse Loln-talne" In Paris, and now she Is setting about a revival of this work, in which she will bo seen, not as the Princess, but as Bertram, the romantic youth, who pleads the cause of his friend.

The supporting company which has been enlisted for Mme. Simone's production Includes Elaine Inescort, Julian L'Es-trange, A. E. Anson. George Farren, Charles Francis and ot'iers.
