Another scene has been added to the Mclba-Butt comedy, “Sing ’em Muck,” by the receipt from Singapore of a cable in which Miss Ponder, tbe compiler of Madame Butt’s memoirs, gives her version She says in reference to Dame Melba’s denial that the story was tokl to her last year by Madame Butt, on whom it made a tremendous impression When Madame Butt went to Australia, she by no means sang “muck,” but classical numbers, which were always popular. Tho preponderance of requests were for really classical stuff. Madame Butt told the story repeatedly, to show that the reverse was tbe case, and that the Australian taste was well up.to the average, if not above it. Miss Ponder adds: Madame Butt passed the book after by no means a cursory reading. A tremendous lot of things were altered.
