"The Squab Farm," however, has only or.,- act which is messy and smirky. With the exception of the first act, the comedy at the Bijou is entertaining and amusing. Of course there were some uneasy moments further on. As late as the third act Lowel! Sherman. threatened to lay bare his soul. The play is somewhat mixed in ; i moods and gives the spectator some thing of farce, something of melo drama, with not infrcquent sentimental interludes. There is a suggestion of "The Great Lover" in "The Squab; Farm," but this time hc is a moving pieture director. 'Like the tenor in tho earlier play, the hero finds true love only after he has loved a great deal, and, like Paurel, the girl he wents is the girl who will not have him. Lowell Sherman, who played Bruce Sanford, th'e director, is an interesting actor and possesses to a high degree the quality of authority. And yet we were not al- ! together surprised when he was out distanced by a less attractive man. Sanford may have been all the play-' wrights said about him, but it seemed to me that in the affair by which he , set the greatest store his methods were distinctly had. Much too frequently he , told the girl he loved. "I have known a | great many woroen," and ho also had a tendency to dwell upon the fact that his emotions were clean. It suggested sozodont.or sapolio, ralher than ro-? mance. , However. we are speaking of the part ar.d not tho actor. Sherman played effectively throughout and did a burst of rage in the second act with great. i force. This act. which was a somewhat farcical study of movie methods, was distinctly amusing. Raymond Bloomer was highly diverting as a self-con | scious leading man and Julia Bruns did well as a feline leading woman. In fact tho Hattons succeeded in introducing: ; a number of well drawn type?. Gloom I Johnson, the assistant director. gave Harry Davenport an excellent oppor? tunity of which he availed himseif fully. Susar.ne Willa was good as "Pop Tracy," although it seemed to me that the one good girl arourid the i studio seemed somewhat overly con scious of her virtue. Helen Barnes ; sneceeded in making the small part . of Hortense Hogan count for a good deal, not only because it was a good i ? part, but because she did it well. Alma Tell was an attractive heroine ; ar.d did her best work in the melo i dramatic but exceedingly effective | climax of act two. when the heroine de- j cides that she won't play Evc in San- ; ford's big j.icture aftcr all. It is then that the director attempts to tear off '?? the robe of the frightened girl who is afraid to appear in the daring costume which has been designed for her. How? ever, he does no more than tear the back of the kimono a little and nobody will ever know just what the Eve cos . tume was. If it was like the rest it was probably scant and ugly. However, the 'j:ri- were pretty. Good bits were contributcd by Al fred Dayton as the office boy and Florence Doyle as one of the squabs. The dialogue of the play is bright. though not all the epigrama are effort less. It provides a good evening's en tertainment.

Plight of Subway Contractors Is a Problem for City They Ask Relief From Heavy Loss Due to War Conditions Aid Sought at Albany Bill Before Legislature; Ser? vice Commission and City Officials Confer The question as to how to afforci re? lief to the subway contractors. who are facing a heavy loss on more than $80, 000,000 worth of contracts still to be completed, on account of war condi? tions has become a serious problem for the Public Service Commission and the city officials to solve. From a letter yesterday written by Travis H. Whit ney, acting chairman of the .onimis sion, to Mayor Hylan, it appears that the commission and the eily officials I are at loggeiheads. Several days ago the commission in formed the Board of Estimate that the subway contractors were losing money and facing bankruptcy because of the high cost of labor and materials and had asked for relief, being willing to finish their work without any profit to thcmselves and only asking to be guar anteed against loss. The contractors now have a bill before the Legislature which would permit them to finish their work at cost. The question has arisen as to the constitutionality ol' such a measure, but the Public. Service Com? mission and certain members of the Board of Estimate are in favor of some special legislation which may avoii! the question of constitutionality and at the same time afford the needed re- ? lief. Must Act Quickly Whatever is to be done must be done quickly. as the Legislature adjourns in three weeka. But it developed at a conference^ast Friday between mem? bers of ther-conimission, the Mayor and other members of the Board of Esti? mate that the Mayor was insistent that the contractors should carry out their contracts, even under present condi? tions, and that the bondsmen should lie held for any defaults on contracts. The Mayor's attitude has always been hostile toward ihe Public Service Com? mission, and in the present instance appears to he the stumblin.c: block tow? ard expcditir.R t'ne subway work. A member of the Board of Estimate yesterday pointed out that Section 28 of Article 111 of the State Constitution precluded the city officials from grant ing any contractor "any extra compen? sation." A bill such as the contractors have formulated would amount to that, it was said. for to permit them to i'.n ish their contracts at cost would mean to grant them compensation above the present contract price. This member declared that special leedslation was needed. and needed quickly, that would result in the ahrogation of tiie present contracts and permit the city to deal with the contractors on a new basis. Want Contracts Flnishcd The commission is: most concerned with the prompt completion of the sub? way contracts. and Commissioner Whit ricy in his letter yesterday to the Mayor sutrgested the necessity of spe? cial legislation to that end. Referring to the contractors' bill. he said: ''The commission indicated that while it could not support such proposed leg? islation having for its first object the relief of the contractors it is primarily interested iVi the prornpt and econom ical completion of a grent municipal enterprise to the end that its operation may be of the maximum service to the city and to the nation during the po riod of war. The participation of the Port of New York in war activities is so important that local transportation facilities must be in the position to du their maximum service in transportinjr. promptly the millions of workers en gaged in war and other essential busi? ness and industries. "It seems to t'ne commission wiser to obtain such legislation ns will place in the hands of public authorities the discretion by agreement with -he con? tractors and their sureties, whereby contracts may be cancelled or modi fied, and work unon essential lines completed under conditions that will secure prompt completion through the payment of adequate wapes to labor and under provisions whereby ">.e con? tractors will not suffer further oss.'1 Commissioner Whitney inclosed in his letter all the data Mayor Hylan asked for in regard to the particular contracts still uncompleted. He point? ed out that the original contracts called for the expenditure of $222 - 000.000. all of which has been let ex cept $25,000,000. Charles L.

Nine teenth Century Selections in Aeolian Hall Ih'.rold Bauer. playing yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall, treated his audience to a little bit of everything from the keyboard music of the nine teenth century. The programme opened with Weber's Sonata in A Flat, fol lowed by Schumann's "Faschings schwank." Then it went through lesser pieces by Franck, Brahms, Chopin and Oebussy, ending with a Liszt etude. Never, it would seem, has Mr. Bauer played with a more exquisito variety of tonal expression, with a nicer feel ing 'for the joints and sinews of his music, than yesterday. Through all his varied programme his strangely per? sonal touch 0:1 the keys served him equally well. His playing of Schumann is always flawless. But he is also one of the few pianists who can redeem the im pressionistic pieces of Debussy from the miasma of "atmosphere" into which conventional interpretation plunges them. Charles Page Bryan, Diplomat, Is Dead WASHINGTON*. March 13. Charles Page Bryan. former Ambassador tn Japan and former minister to several ot! >r countries, died here last night of he: t failure. He was sixty-one years o!u. Charles Page Bryan's rise was a rapid one. He was born in Chicago in 1856 and attended the University of Virginia and the Columbian Law School, at Washington, being admitted to the bar, of the Distriot of Columbia in 1878.

Opera Liszt's "Saint Elizabeth" Is Sung With Two Changes in Cast Liszt's "Saint Elizabeth" was sung at the Metropolitan last night with two changes in the cast, due to the ?11? nesses of Ciarcnce Whitehill and Rob ert Leonard. Thomas Chalmers sang Ludwig and gave of the somewhat un grateful part a performance of rare beauty, both vocal and histrionic. Mr. Chalmers's voice is not large in volume, but aside from this it is an organ which knows no sunerior among' the opera barytones to-day. It is in timbre most thgratiating, and he uses it with groat flexjbility and inteili penco of phrasa. Moreover, he is an actor possessed both ol dignity of. inanner and plastic grace. His Ludwig ivcs infuscd with a rich spiritual beauty. Louis D'Anpelo in Mr. Leonard's ab sence gave an admirable performance of the Seneschal. Miss Easton'a im personation of Elizabeth was as exqui site as ever, and Mme. Matzenauer was excellent as the Landgravinc. Mr. Bodangky, of course, condueted, and with fine Bympathy. Th i audience was r.ot large. Henry J. Hardenbergh, Noted Architect, Dies Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, archi? tect and constructor, died yesterdav at his home, 40 East Sixty-seeond Street.
