The grand ball of the season at the 
Oceanside is set for tomorrow evening. 
Coming in the midst of the big tennis 
tournament, it isto be made a Tennis 
Ball. Not only the larger number of 
players engaged in the tournament will 
‘participate, but the host of friends who 
have watched them play, society folk 
from Boston and Gloucester, and guests 
of the hotel and their friends will all be 
there and one of the most fashionable 
society events ever held at the big hotel 
is expected. The dance will be held in 
the big dining room, which will be beau- 
tifully decorated for the occasion. The 
full Oceanside orchestra will furnish the 
music from the orchestra balcony. Many 
of the guests at the hotel have invited 
friends from many of the summering 
places near-at-hand and even from as far 
away as New York specially for this oc- 
easion and they will attend in large 
numbers. 
Miss Amy Grant, of New York City, 
in the last of her series of three operatic 
recitals at the North Shore Grill, today 
presented something entirely new. It 
was a dramatic reading of the opera 
Electra, the latest work from the hand 
of Richard Strauss and produced in Dres- 
den for the first time on Ian. 25 last. 
The music marks. the creates: triumph 
of this wizard of sound. in the tulf or- 
chestra 125 pieces are used. To this 
effect is added the efforts of a great cho- 
rus so that, at intense moments, the sound 
culminates in a cyclonic roar. The text 
is a masterpiece of tragedy by Von Hof- 
mannsthal. The story deals with the 
Trojan war. Electra was the daughter 
of King Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. 
During the king’s absence in the war 
against Troy, Clytemnestra bestows her 
favors on Aegisthus, and, with his help, 
murders Agamemnon on his return. 
Orestes, the brother of Electra, returns 
after a long absence and kills their moth- 
er and Aegisthus. ‘fhe rights of produc- 
tion in America have been purchased by

Oscar Hammerstein, who has paid 
something like $50,000 forthem. Mary 
Garden will doubtless sing the role of 
Electra. Miss Grant gave her arrange- 
ment of the opera as a reading with se-

The exhibition of hand-wrought silver- 
ware by George C. Gebelein, the noted 
silversmith, at the Bradford studio of 
arts and crafts at Magnolia, Tuesday, 
Wednesday and Thursday of the last 
week, attracted much attention and was 
largely patronized every day. On Tues- 
day Mr. Gebelein was present and took 
personal charge of the display. All of 
the pieces are masterfully done and some 
of them are indescribably wonderful. A 
large platter, for example, has a_ border 
of Grecian design so complex and ac- 
curately measured that months were re- 
quired in its execution. Mr. Gebelein 
has mastered the art of hammering almost 
any shape out of a plate of silver. Many 
of them are gold lined, the gold setting 
off the silver exquisitely.

This distinetion has been given to 
Harry De Coe, the Englishman, who 
startled London by his wonderful feats 
of balancing. De Coe places four 
tables, one on top of the other, and on 
top of this he places two chairs. Then 
with two more chairs he climbs to the 
top of this rickety heap and in the most 
increditable manner manages to put a 
third chair on top of the two already 
there. Then climbing upon the tables 
he balances a fourth chair, and not only 
that but he sits on it and smokes a cigar- 
ette. During most of the operations the 
entire pyramid of tables and chairs seems 
to sway, but De Coe accomplishes the 
feat in the most matter of fact manner. 
He comes to Keith's next week as a 
feature of one of the big bills that has 
been making the summer season a mem- 
orable one. 
The Fadettes continue to give their 
popular concerts before the regular vaude- 
ville bill begins, and Mrs. Nichols and 
her forty players are more popular than 
ever.
