State's Chamber Of Commerce Has 150th Birthday Qne Thousand Members Hear Felicitations Read From Britain's King Two Governor? Speak Edge Urges Building of Ve? hicle Tunnel ; Whitman Promises War Support One hundred and fifty years ago last night twenty New Yorkers met at the Fraunces's Tavern, which stood at what now is the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets, and organized the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York. About a thousand members gathered at 66 Liberty Street yester- ! ciay noon to celebrate the chamber's : 150th birthday party. While the meeting was a birthday eelebration, it had a war atir.esph.--re. The little gathering a century and a half aira also probably had a tinge of war flavor. E. H. Outerbridge, presi? dent of the chamber*, read this: "The founders of the Chamber of Commerce and the founders of the American Union were one and the same body of men. When they met on April 5, 1768, to establish their commercial society they had been for three years in the forefront of the steadily rising tide of indignant op? position to taxation without repre- ' sentation. which was to culminate seven years later in the Revolution. They were engaged, some of them un? conscious 1 v. in founding a free and in- ; depender.: Republic at the very mo? ment wh< n they came together to form a union of merchants in the interests of the peaceful pursuit?, of-commerce." Felicitations from King George Mr. Outerbridge read the above from "A Chronicle of One Hundred and Fifty Years." which is a history of the chamber compiled by Joseph Buck lin Bishop in collaboration with the committee in charge of anniversary celebration arrangements. The chambeT received anniversary felicitations from 'he King of Eng? land and two birthday presents of historical interest. One present was given by John I. VTaterbury. a member of the anni? versary committee. It is a chair from Fraunces's Tavern. It is said to have been George Washington's favorite chair. The other gift was a gavel made from one of the hand-hewn oaken rafters of the tavern. Robert Oly- ; phant, president of the Sons of the devolution in New York State, pre? sented It in behalf of the society. In accepting the gavel V.r. Outerbridge said: "Does ,* not typify to us the hearts of oak which these great men of the past possessed? And is this not the symbol from time immemorial of law and order, and should we not take this m?mento in the spirit that we, too, now in this great crisis of our nation must prove that we have hearts of oak, unbending and -strong and sound and true? Now that all the world is di? vided into two ?reat camps-these who believe in liberty and freedom ar.d those who believe 'might is right'? ihould we not declare that we will wield this aeeptre of law ar.d order .;-.- -. until those who wish to live bv the sword have perished by the ?word and anti we have reestablished, ' like -.'-.. symbol, law and order, justice ar.d :'- edom once more for ail man? kind'.'" Two Governors Are Speakers The Governors of New York and New Jersey were among the speakers. Gov? ernor" Eu;:'"- urged the speedy building of the proposed tunnel for vehicles. - Governor Whitman-, after dwelling upon the great part the Chamber of Com? merce -as played in the past of the city ar.d nation, said: "As a citizen of this city and as the Qsvemor of your state, I take great pride in the record of the members of this ?':?-.::? ?zation and of the citizens at tr and ! ate in the manner .r. ?.',-':. ?? ? have apheld the national government in the prosecution of this war. "I know that until this war is over the government will continue to have '?'?? une unanimous support. In your behalf, 'ore, I pledge to the Pr?sider.*, of the United States our re? sources, our funds, our men and our sacred honor." A pl';a for "100 per cent American? ism''was made by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Univer? sity. "Only a few days ago," said Dr. Butler, "under circumstances that per hap? might have confused the issue, ?*nen the citizens of Wisconsin went "? the : ihey voted three to one 'or A.t.? - Defines Real Americanism "B-;t. gentlemen, our Americanism ?B*t -.?- more man three to one.

For instance, we never shall hear "Connois-tu Le Pays" without thinking of sweet Lillian Gish and Bob- I bie Harron, the Girl and the Boy. "Peek- I a-Boo" will always bring to mind the ! "Littlest Brcther" and the air which ! Anna Held used to sing in her heyday. | "Oh, it's lovely to be married" always will mean Dorothy Gish, the "Little Disturber." The orchestra had a wonderful Way ' of introducing the characters m the i picture with their own special tunes, and it was most effective. To indicate ', the various moods of these people the ! same tune was played as a dirge in ? a minor key or was syncopated. It may have been done before, but we never ! have heard it. The Griffith picture had its first pub? lic presentation last night at the Forty- , fourth Street Thentrr. Being comparatively new in the mo- ; tion picture world we never had seen a '' Griffith picture before, but, of course, ovcrv one has heard <>r the Griffith girls an i the Griffith spectacles, which are different from ail else on the screen. It isn't, that the Griffith picture has more suns in it than any other war picture. It isn't because it shows life in the trenches as it is, for all motion : picture houses show authentic war pictures in their reviews. It isn't be- ! cause the photography and the ex- j teriors are wonderfully beau/iiful, nor: because the east, is well chosen and i the story interesting. It is because every character in the ' play is real. Either Mr. Griffith has ; a genius for selecting his casts or else he has the power to infuse in his actors something of his own genius. : But whatever it is they give it back again to the people who watch their shadows on the screen, and it is a thing not to be analyzed. Dorothy Gish as the "Little Dis- j turber" does quite the most delightful ' bit of character acting that it over has : been our good fortune to witness. She is wilful and truculent and de- j fiant and brazenly coy. and the emo? tions are registered on her saucy little ! face with the rapidity of lightning. A | Sash and it is gone. Just as though she had been playing '. her part on the spoken stage, her en- j trance- and exits were gretted with ; rounds of applause. Lillian Gish as "The Gir,l" was quite I as clever in an entirely different sort i of r-'''e. She is a combination of all the Griffith girls who have gone before. Robert Herron did some remarkable work in the r?le of Douglas Hamilton, The Boy, and little Ben Alexander was the sweetest child the screen has ever offered. In the last horrible scenes, when his limp body was discovered under the ruins of his home, a sigh went up from the spectators, and then they found that he was only fast asleep. Robert Anderson is another one who is able to make you understand every? thing that a person like Monsieur Cuckoo is apt to think, in love or war. There was not a jarring note in the whole performance, and the actual war scenes were woven in so cleverly that it was impossible to tell whether one was gazing on real emissaries of the devil or on supers dressed up in hel? mets to represent the Hun hordes. At any rate, th* spectators would take no chances, and they hissed loudly every time a German or a pseudo-German came within range of the camera. The story telis of two American painters who live in France. The Girl Marie is the daughter of one painter and Douglas the Boy is the oldest son of the other. It is spring when Marie comes home from school and the two children fall in love with each other' ?a 6 because they are handsom? and voting and the buds are bursting. The Little Disturber, too, falls in love with Douglas, and we felt then and there that if he could resist her he was going to be able to resist any temptation he might encounter during his natural life. The Great War begins while Marie is busy making her wedding gown, and Douglas and all of the sweethearts and husbands of all the women march away to battle. Then comes the story of the war, with its scenes which are so much more real than anything which has be?n done before. The picture shows the terrible strug? gle for existence by those who are left behind in the devastated villages and the cruelty of the Huns to the women and children, who are compelled to work in the fields. Lillian Gish does some wonderful work in her scenes when she wanders our into No Man's Land to look for her bridegroom, and, not realizing that he is dying, she falls exhausted beside him and lies down with her head on his heart, which has ceased to beat. The happy ending for the central figures does not make the story seem unreal, for it all comes about so naturally and there is so much that is sad and grewsome. But through it all was the glad feeiing that it was not their war, but our war, and when the swarms of heavy Germans fell on our boys in the trenches and attacked thorn with bayonets and the butts of rifles there was not a man ? no,nor a woman ? in the theatre who would not have given his or her life to have killed one of the Huns. That is what a Grif? fith picture does to you. Mr. Griffith finally appeared in an? swer to the applause at, the end of the picture, hut he stopped in the middl? of his speech and left the starre without finishing: his sentence. He thanked those present and asked them to ?up port with their last ounce of strength ? the men fighting in the war. H. U.

Freshness of color and vivacity of handling characterize the paintings of Albert Andr?, now exhibited at the galleries of Durand-Ruel. Landscapes add quaint bits of old towns, which glow with the warm sunshine of South? ern France. "Jardins a Endoume," showing a walled garden overlooking a turquoise sea, charms the senses with its drowsy content. A painting of great charm is "Le Th?," showing a young woman seated against a window through which is seen a sun-flooded landscape; the cool interior, with its pink walls and tea things on the table contrasting the vivid color outside. The still lifes are more soberly painted, but hold the at? tention with their fine sense of ar? rangement. The exhibition will close April 20. The Whitney Richards Galleries are exhibiting until April 18 a collection of Persian miniatures, illuminated books. Persian rugs and antique faiences, along with modern naintings by Agnes E. Mayer. ? Many fine minia? tures of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are shown. The modern paintings, mostly portraits, are well handled, the nude of a young girl showing luminous flesh tones and a fine quality of light. ? ? Mme. Ober's Suit Upheld by Court She, Is Not Barred as an Enemy Alien, Justice Shearn Says in Opinion The decision of Justice Gavegan, in the Supreme Court, that Mme. Mar? garete Arndt-Ober, German soprano, for several year.s with the Metropolitan Opera Company, can sue the company i for breach of contract, although she is 1 an enemy alien, was sustained by the j Appellate Division yesterday. Mme. Ober is suing for $50,000 dam? ages. She alleges she was released by the Metropolitan management, despite her contract, which still is in effect. The Metropolitan Opera Company sought to restrain the prima donna from prosecuting her suit, on the ground that, being a German, she could not sue during the war. Justice Gave? gan held that the trading with the enemy act did not apply to the singer. Justice Shearn, writing the unani? mous opinion of the Appellate Division, held that, while it is against public policy for a resident in a foreign coun? try engaged in war with this country to prosecute an action in our courts, a different situation is presented in the case of Mme. Ober, who resides in this country. "It appears that the plaintiff is not an tnemy alien within the President's proclamation," said Justice Shearn. He added that, if she were, she would be entitled to maintain her action so long as she was guilty of no misbehavior during her* residence here. Masa for E. de Sadciee. The requiem mass to be offered for the repose of the soul of Etienne de Sadeleer, son of Louis de Sadeleer, Belgian Minister of State, and which was ?nnounced to take place on Monday, ha? been postponed and will be offered tr the Belgian Church.

Drama Laurette Taylor Not at Her Best in Matinee of Shakespeare By Heywood Broun Laurette Taylor made an interesting experiment yesterday afternoon in a special matinee at the Criterion The? atre, when she played three of Shake? speare's heroines.

April 5.?Berlin so-1 ciety is much stirred by a suit for libel against Count Christian G?nther von Bernstorff, son of the former German Ambassador to thy United States, by Baron Walter von Radeck. a member of an old Prussian military family who lived for many years in England. .' un? Gunther's wife, who was Mr?. Marguerite Vivian Burton Thomason, of Burlingto i, N". J., and a number of others, including tito wife of one of the generals commanding an army on the. Western front, also are defendants in the suit. Baron von Radeck and his wife, ac? cording to the "Rheinische West? f?lische Zeitung." were divorced in Oc- '? tober, 1917. and she subsequently mar? ried Count von Berrtstofff. The result was a physical encounter between the tw3 men in winch von Radeck tore the epaulettes from von Bernstorlf's ' in. Thereupon, von ii i'ii storff ;? i that von Radeck was not capable of giving satisfaction ;>s a gentleman, and he charged vein >\ :'? spying for En rland. This resulted in van Radeck leaving the army and von Bernstorff beiti? ? punished by a military court. The baron now charges that von BernstorrT, with fourteen others, caused his di? vorce and dismissal from the army by circulating untruthful reports. I Count Christian G?nther von Bern slorfF and Mrs. Thomason were mar ried last December 8. He is twenty six years old and in 1913 was a clerk in the offices of Speyer ? Co., New York barkers.
