of utterance which permitted herhearers to recognize and enjoy thepure melodic line. We are sorry thatwe cannot say half as much for MissBraslau, who has always given greatpleasure when she has confined her¬self to the kind of music for whichnature intended and training hasfitted her.At the concert of the Philharmonic

Society, which took place in CarnegieHall at the same time, the solo attarc-tion was Mr. Percy Grainger, who hasof late days given glitter to a numberof Mr. Danu-osch's concerts. Mr. Grain-ger rode his old warhorse.Tschaikoil'-sky's Concerto in B flat minor.and itssteel-shod hoofs struck out a showerof sparks in its thunderous course. Wedo not believe that the splendid instru¬ment which he played was malevo¬lently disposed toward him, for it re-sponded most ingratiatingly when hecaressed it in the second movement.So we wonder that he should have fedso fat the grudge that he seemed tobear it. in the. first movement. Why-did he so smite it, hip and thigh?Some day we shall suggest to a com¬mittee of sympathetic ladies that theymake an effort to endow Mr. Graingerwith the gigantic piaoforte which wasinstalled in the Altenburg for Lisztsome sixty-odd years ago. It mightserve his turn, especially if its equip¬ment of organ pipes were replaced bymegaphones, marimbas and other ex¬otic pulsatile instruments from Africaand the Indies. Mr. Grainger thrilledhis audience. He always does that,"forwe like his drum beat and admire hisskill and musicianship. Mr. Stransky'sorchestral numbers were Rimsky-Kor-sakoff's "Scheherazade," some of theprocessional music from "Parsifal""Préludes."

The docu-ment, according 10 Mrs. Sherwood, wassigned last March.Mrs. Sherwood, who is over seventy

years old, has been one of the man¬agers of the Asylum for the Insane atKings Park, but she said yesterdaythat her connection with that institu¬tion was not the reason for the highhonor given her.

"It's for my general charitable work,"was the only comment she would make.From other sources it was learned thatthe children's charity work of LongIsland had enlisted her sympathies andsupport ever since the time, in 18(58,when she moved from Manhattan, herbirthplace, to Glen Cove.The Rev. John G. York acted as dele-

irate for Bishop Charles E. McDonnellof Brooklyn in presenting the Papalbrief to Mrs. Sherwood. Among thosewho attended the piosentation cere¬mony were the Rev. Louis J. Sloane, Mr.and Mrs. F. W. D.

_ . *i

Struggling artists and cartoonistsemerged from their garrets yesterdayand gathered at the Hotel Majestic todiscuss ways and means of combating:the high cost of living. After formu-lating a plan to fend off starvation,;they engaged the Majestic press agent!to tell all about it.They are going to buy islands off the

Maine roast.an island to an artist.and there immure themselves againstthe rising prices of pork and beans.The streams and woods of Maineabound in fish and game, and it is thehope of the makers of the comic stripesthat enliven the daily newspaper pages;that genius, well fed instead of starved,will not deteriorate.

R. M. Brinkerhoff, Clare Briggs, H.T. Webster and J. N. Darling (Ding)each announced they had alreadybought an island near Meddybemps.Rube Goldberg, Charles Voight andseveral others saiil they would follow,suit as soon as they drew next week'spay. They have formed an organiza-? ion and "dubbed it the MeddybempsFortification League.Just why they picked on Maine is:

not known, unless the press agsnt'ahint that the islands were to be de-clared outside the jurisdiction of the!officials enforcing the eighteenth!amendment is the answer. Maine hasbeen "dry," theoretically, for fifty!years or more, and it is understoodthe natives are more expert at dodg-ing prohibition than the natives inother parts of the country.Charles Dana Gibson has an island!

Panlist Choristers AreHeard at Hippodrome

The Paulist Choristers of New York,Father Finn, conductor, sang at theHippodrome yesterday afternoon forthe benefit of St. Lawrence Hospital.The first part of the program was de¬voted to sacred music by Lotti, Pales-trina, Morales and others, one of themost effective numbers being Rach¬maninoff's "Praise Ye the Lord."The second half was made up of

secular music, including a Russian folksong, "Down St. Peter's Road,'' ar¬ranged by Kurt Schindler and Tschaik-owsky's "Legend." The sweet voice ofMaster Coates, one of the leading boysopranos, gave great pleasure in severalsolo numbers. Master Billy Brobstalso sang an aria with equal earnest¬ness, but less beauty of tone. JohnFinnegan, tenor, contributed "CheGélida Manina" from Puccini's "LaBoheme" und several Irish songs.

Verdi's RequiemStirs AudienceAt Metropolitan

Guillo Setti Directs ChorusWith Great Ability; JohnMcCormack, at the Hippo¬drome, Captures Hearers

Verdi's Requiem Mass has of lateyears become an annual Sunday nightinstitution at the Metropolitan OperaHouse, and no work given there hasredounded with greater credit to Mr. jGatti-Casazza. In th« superb chorusof the Opera House the performanceof the Mass music has a foundationwhich it would be impossible to sur-pass, and last night that chorus sangwith a splendid richness and plenitudeof tone, yet with attention to theslightest nuance of the music.

Giulio Setti, who trained them andwho last night directed the whole per¬formance, is responsible for tho posi¬tion the Metropolitan chorus nowholds. It was his guiding spirit whichinfused the singera.The soloists were Florence Easton,

Mprle Alcock, Charles Hackett andJose Mardones. The voice and art ofMiss Easton, the polished style of Mr.Hackett and the superb tones of Mr.Mardones were all most gratefully ap¬preciated, while Miss Alcock, substitut¬ing for Miss Gordon, displayed a voiceof richness and power and an authori¬tative delivery. The audience was large,but it should have been larger.At the Hippodrome John McCormack

gave another of his concerts to anotherof his Gargantaun audiences. Mr. Mc¬Cormack deserves his audiences, forho has done as much, and perhps more,than any other living singer in bring¬ing the art of song to a public, a largeportion of which, until the Irish tenorarrived, had been utterly oblivious tothings which now they hei withpleasure. His programme last nightincluded a recitative and air fromHandel's "Solomon," music in whichMr. McCormack is peculiarly at home,a group of Irish folk songs and newsongs by Chaussor, Frank Bridge,Wintter Watts and H. J. Burleigh.He was assisted by Winston Wilkin¬son, violinist, who played the Wien-owski D minor concerto, and a numberof shorter pieces.

Miss Sebnitzler Is ArtistA new concert hall was opened yes¬

terday afternoon in West Sixty-thirdStreet. It bears the unimaginative andsomewhat awkward name, Sixty-thirdStreet Music Hall, but despite thisinitial handicap it proved to be an au¬ditorium in which the acoustics arereally hrilliant, and which ought to aidin filling the want for a place whereintimate music can be more perfectlyenjoyed than it is possible to enjoy itin the great spaces of Carnegie oteven in trie smaller reaches of Aeolian.The new music hall seats 1,100 persons.The honor of opening it was given toMiss Germaine Schnitzler. MissSchnitzler appeared in a varied pro¬gram which included the Beethoven Cminor Variations, the Schubert C minorFantasie, Mozart's Pastorale Variéeand three Preludes of Chopin. Theaudience was larp;e and more thanfriendly in its demonstration of ap¬preciation.

Eva Gauthier's RecitalDoes Best in Group of Oriental

Songs by CristThere was a small audience at i'va

Gauthier's recital at the GreenwichVillage Theater last night. But thenStravinsky's "Cat Songs" were on theprogram. Those who went, however,discovered that the singer and thethree clarinets, which the Russian hasprescribed for the accompaniment, arenot required to immortalize a spring¬time t'P'c. of the backyard. The fourlittle songs are only lullabies with afantastic accompaniment, intended tolull children to sleep with intimatepictures of feline household activities.

Clever Miss Gauthier had many othernovelties on her program.a group ofSpanish folk songs, another of songsby modern Spanish composers, an airfrom Ravel's comic opera, "L'HeureEspagnole," which was sung in Londonlast summer, and four songs by modernFrench composers.de Severac, Keoch-lin, Dupont and Chabrier. Rather themost enjoyable feature of the evening,however, was a group of Chinese andJapanese songs by Bainbridge Crist,based on original themes and words.Miss Gauthier sang with her usual in-telligence throughout the program, buther most sympathetic work was done inthe Crist songs.

On the Screen"Everywoman," at the Rivoli, a

Gorgeous Spectacle, butLacks Sentimentality

The screening of "Everywoman" maysafely'be reckoned among the moreelaborate achievements in moving pic¬tures. It was presented at the RivoliTheater yesterday with fine orchestra¬tion and an effective setting. There isa "sumptuousness about the whole pro¬duction that, is cloying in spots, andthere is much moralizing, which wasto bo expected, as the screen versionadheres closely to Walter Browne'sstory. But the fact remains that themoral of "Everywoman," however onefeels about it, is more convincinglyforced home in the Lasky productionthan it is on the stage.The picture is cast in a large mold,

Every woman who sees it will revol inthe lovely gowns and the luxuriouspictorial effects. It is gilded to aault. The story sometimes is iost be¬cause of the emphasis on setting. Theriotous banquet scene where Every¬woman is at the crest of her folly isone of the most pretentious things ofthe kind that has been attempted in pic-tures.

Other scenes that stand out are thecasting aside of "Modesty," the snow-swept street on New Year's Eve andthe final reunion of Everywoman andTruth.

All the laurels do not go to VioletHoming, who plays the part of Every-woman, although she does fine work.She has a large supporting cast ofstars, and the picture is the kind thataffords a number of people an op-portunity to bo more than mere pup-pets.At first when Youth, Beauty and

Modesty still remain with her, herperformance is altogether too honeyed.But as her search for Love throughavenues of Wealth, Passion and Gam¬bling proves futile and het> hand-maidens leave her, she gains in dra-matic force until in the final sceneshe does distinctive and vigorous work.Monte Blue is Love, but he fails to

give the right impression of nobility.In fact, he appears to be nothing morethan a good-looking, rather furtiveyoung ^physician who clings to hismother's apron strings. She- happensto be Truth. The part is taken byEdyth Chapman.Theodore Roberts, chewing his cigar

| as usual, is Wealth, and he makes arather loo entertaining villain. IrvingCumming8 takes tho rôle of Passionand makes a good job of it. ClaraHorton, Wanda Hawley and MargaretLoomis are charming as Youth, Beautyand Modesty, and Mildred Reardonmakes Conscience more attractive thanit is in real life. Bebe Dahiels isdashing as Vice. James Neill make acolorless Nobody.The picture is more of a spectacle

than anything elsü. There ¡3 not ahint of laughter anywhere; nor \a[there the kind of sentimental sad-ness that makes susceptible, theater-goers weep. But it is tryingly insist-eut on the futility of everything in lifebut Lovu allied to Truth.Frank Crane has written a new pro-

logue for the play. Henry Mortimerrecites it impressively, ending upwith: I"0 Woman Soul, look! In this pic¬

ture you will see yourself."And well for you if you shall also

see that underneath the wonderfulstars, and in all this wonderful earth,there is nothing so wonderful as Love,when Love's other name is Truth."

Will M. Rièhey prepared tb scenarioand George Melford directed tb« pro-duction of "Everywoman."Frederick Stahlberg and Jo. Lit-

tau conduct the orchestra in the pvo-'ogue to "Iris." Professor FirminSwinnen plays the "Chant Seraphique"on the organ.

It probably would have been worththe price of a long railroad trip, evenin these days of high prices, to havewatched the efforts of the director of"Toby's Bow" to keep from adding afew real reel "punches" when TomMoore was being filmed in ttte screenversion of John Tainter Foote'* littleplay, which is* at the Strand thisweek. That the director kept himselfin leash fairly well and only permittedone little rough-and-tumble fight tomar the serenity of the comedy speaksmuch for his will power. But themental battle, he went through isplainly in evidence all through thefilm.

"Toby's Bow." as a spoken play, de¬pended more on its clever lines thansituations to attract, and it is the lackof these situations that proves thegreatest drawback in the screen ver-sion. True, there is a chance for "at-mosphere" in the Greenwich Villagescenes and chances for excellentphotography in the exteriors of an oldVirginia estate, but it ends there. Thestory is simple and gives neither starnor cast a chance to do anything be¬yond the conventional in the conven¬tional way.The story in brief is that of a suc¬

cessful author who becomes mentallyjacled by too close application to thelife in "Tho Village." He goes southto recuperate and falls in love with aSouthern girl who is striving to recoupthe family fortunes by her pen, orrather her typewriter. Together theywrite a book which promises to becomeone of the "best seller" variety. Whenthe girl learns her co-author is alreadya well-known writer and the successof the book is due to his work, ratherthan her own efforts, Southern pridecomes to the fore and threatens to

Chaplin's "A Day of Pleasure" is re¬peated again this week. The musicalprogram includes solos by Jack Mack-Intosh and Amanda Brown and Liszt's"Les Preludes."

There have been more effective pic-tures of circus life than "JiJnx," shownat the Capitol Theatre this week.Mabel Normand, however, makes themost of the possibilities of a distinctlysenseless plot. It is all tiresomely far¬fetched, and the right people seem toturn up at the right moment and wherethey are needed, as they rarely do inreal life. But Mabel Normand andCullen Landis as Slicker the WildMan make a delightful pair of youngirresponsibles, and redeem to some ex¬tent the many inconsistencies of thestory. /

Jinx is the circus orphan, abused andbatted around from pillar to post.Only ¿ho Wild Man is kind to her.Then the great day comes when RoryBory Alice, the most successful per¬former of the troupe, is called on forher "Dance of the Northern Lights" toimpress two prospective buyers of theshow. Through a lie told by Jinx,Rory Bory Alice has disappeared, so,the culprit decks herself out in thevoluminous robes necessary for thepart and tries to make amends. Shegets wildly entangled on her platformand ends by falling headlong down onthe astonished buyers standing below,She runs away and finally reaches anorphanage. One of the really delight¬ful parts of the picture is where sheputs on an amateur circus performancefor the children of the orphanage, util¬izing all the animals on the farm. TheWild Man turns up opportunely to addtb the general gayety, and after sundrymishaps Jinx and the WTild Man decideto marry. There is much to laugh at inthis picture, and Mabel Normand isirresistibly funny.The color motion picture photog¬

raphy which has become a regular feat¬ure at the Capitol is unusually exten¬sive this week. Both the Prizma pic¬ture and the adventure scenic aremade in nature's tones, lly Mayer'stravelaugh "Such Is Life on the EastSide," is the equivalent of a personalvisit to that part of New York.Ned Wayburn's demi-tasse revue is

presented this week for the last time.Pryor's Band closes its engagement thefollowing week.

There is no chance to stop laughingat the Rialto this week, four pictures,each representing a different school ofmotion picture comedy, making up thepre-Christmas bill.

Billie Burke.is enabled to displayall her charms as a character actressin "Wanted, A Husband," from thestory by Samuel Hopkins Adams. AsAmanda Darcy Cole, the unwantedbachelormaid, she is a frowsy littlefrump with the posture of a cameland the gait of a duck. Later, throughphysical culture training and herfriend Gloria Green, acted by MargaretFinden, she becomes a differentcreature, so different and so beautifulthat she is scarcely recognized by herfriends.Taunted by her two girl friends who

are to be married, Darcy invents anFnglish suitor for herself with a namegleaned from "Burke's Peerage." Aftermany amusing incidents, James L.Crane, as Jack Remscn, appears as a

stage-make-up Englishman and is in¬veigled into honeymooning with Darcy.the husbandldss bride. Darcy is notaware of his .identity until he'is Strip¬ped of his make-up by an irate andromantic housekeeper at the bungalowwhere the two real couples and thepseudo couple are honeymooning. Sherecognizes him as Jack Remsen and heremembers her as Darcy, the formerfrump. He offers her the opportunityfor a real honeymoon and «she accepts.Others in the cast are Charles Lane,Edward Lester, Bradley Barker, HelenGreene, Gypsy O'Brien and Kid Broad.The other comedies are "A Lady's

Tailor," a fast-moving, riotous slap¬stick Mack Sennett farce; CharlieChaplin in a revival of "The Vagabond"and a Mutt and Jeff comedy.

Included in the music program areselections by the Rialto Male Quar¬tette, a violin solo by Sasha Fidel-man, concertmaster of the orchestra,and Franz Suppe's "Morning, Noon andNight in Vienna" overture, played bythe Rialto orchestra.

Maria Grever Sings EmotionalProgram at Princess TheaterMaria Grever, soprano, sang an

emotional program of Italian, Frenchand Spanish songs at the PrincessTheater last evening. The feverishmood of the opening song, Tirindelli's"Amare, Soffrire"."without your loveI shall die of love' -was maintainedthroughout the evening, and there wereevidences that the singer's tempera¬ment is greater than her presentpowers of expression. Her voice wasnot well controlled, and in her momentsof greatest intensity the tones were

spread. Miss Grever needs moretechnique and less emotion.
