?U a*** Fourth Aveno?
Lieutenant Bert Hall Teils I
of His Experiences
at Rivoli
Every once in a while during the
performance at the Hivoli this week
Lieutenant Bert Hall, the American
aviator, who is one of the two surviv?
ing members of the Lafayette Esca?
drille, steps out on the stage and
teils the audience of his experience ?
en Pair. The speech is made just
after the fadeaway in his new picture, !
"'A Romance of the Air," based on
Lieutenant Hall's book. j
This picture is interesting mainly i
because one knows that much of what j
happens on the screen is true. It is ?
a story of spies and miraculous '
escapes, and even if Dulcinea did say i
it, "Truth is stranger than fiction."
Before we say anything ubout the!
picture we wish to give a vote of I
thanks to Edith Day, who play3 the |
American girl in Germany.
This is the first time we have seen ;
Miss Day on the screen and she is j
charming. At first you think that
she is not pretty, and then her firm
little chin, with a dimple in it, and
her straight, dark hair begin to at?
tract you and then you decide that
she is quite indispensable. What Miss
Day has is g .od taste and wonderful
screen personality.
The story begins when Lieutenant j
Hall has been slightly wounded, and '
being forced to bring his plane to j
earth inside the enemy lines he |
quietly changes clothing and identi
ncation cards with his dead adver- ?
sary and is carried to a German hos
pital to recover.
Here he meets Edith Day, a child
hood friend, and they plan to escape i
into France via the air.
AH would have been well if it had .
not been for Florence Bellings, the |
false friend, who persuaded Edith to ;
help her, too, to escape into France.
Of course, every one knows that the ;
part of the story is not true which says
that a Btray bullet ends the life of
Florence Billings and Franklin B.
Coates, a co-spy.
Stuart Holmes is the Archduke of
Moravia. He is also the arch villain.
There ?3 a man named Joseph Lertora
who plays Lieutenant Le Roy. Miss
Day was called upon to choose between
the two jiviators in the picture, and
s^he chose Lieutenant Hall. Wc know
of at least one person who would have
made a different choice.
Erno Papee conducted the orchestra
through Tsciiaikowsky's "Solonelle"?
"1815." as it is usually called. Gladys
Rice sings "Then You'll Remember
Me," from "The Bohemian Girl," in a
delightful manner. Greek Evans con?
tributes "A Son of the Desert Am I."
There is the animated pictorial, per?
sonally edited by Mr. Rothapfel, and a ,
picture called "Bird Studies," which 1
shows the domestic life of that wonder?
ful bird, the pelican, and other "rara
avises." "The Chocolate Soldier" Is j
played as a light opera number, and
the comedy is a Fox Sunshine called
"Mongrels."
Twelve times at the Rialto, yester?
day, couples decided to change their
seats, which happened to be in our
row, so that made twenty-four persons
who passed between us and "A Woman's
Experience." And, as one of them was
a little boy who forgot his cap, that
makes twenty-five.
The reason we comment on this is
because most people like to view the
feature picture sitting still. They
usually chose the overture for the time
to change their habitat and adjust any
other little matters. And yet, in spite
of this ingress and egress, we know
pretty well what "A Woman's Experi?
ence" is about. It is a story which
teaches that virtue is found in abun?
dance in the country and hardly at all
in the city. Perhaps that is the reason
we like the city so much better. We
always did prefer Salome to Elsie
Dinsmore.
And Agnes Raydant thinks that she
likes the city better, too, until she
spends a year there and finds her hus?
band ruined in business, in the hands
of a beautiful adventuress. Corene
Uzell and herself a party to the death
of Lord Sulgrave or at least an acces?
sory after the fact.
But it seemed to us that the author
had deliberately chosen incidents which
would prove his case versus the city,
for we know lots of people who have
lived right in New York for mere than
a year and still are just as good as
when they first came from Brooklyn.
But this was not the ease with Agnes
and George Roydant, and things finally
became so complicated, with Corene
Uzell writing blackmailing letter?, and
Robert Cain lying dead behind a screen
in Miss Roland's room, while her hus?
band explained to her in the fore?
ground that he. was ruined, that every
one thought it was going to be a dream
picture.
We fully expected that Agnes would
rub her eyes and say to George: "Oh,
what n terrible dream I have had.
Never, never must wo leave uncle to
live in the country alone."
Of course, it would not be fair to tell
how things do turn out; suffice it to say
that there is a fairly satisfactory ad?
justment.
Miss Boland is not quite so satis?
factory on tch screen as on the stage
because you cannot see her lovely
golden hair.
"A Womans Experience was taken
from the play "Agnes. It was directed
by Perry VekrofF.
Fortunately, the people were fairly
stable during the overture, which was
the symphonic poem "Vysehrad, and
also during the "Egyptian Ballet,"
which was played after the feature
picture.
Vincente Ballestu sanr an aria from
"Hamlet," Helena Morrill sane "I Love
and the World Is Mine." The comedy
is "Take a Chance," with Harold Lloyd.
At the Strand "Little Women" is the
feature. "Suspicion" and Charlie Chap****
lie Chaplin's "Shoulder Arms" are at
the Broadway. These will be reviewed
to-morrow. II. U.
Predicts Social Upset
Bishop Gore at Cooper Union
Says Changes Are Coming
A league of free nations founded on
impartial justice to capital and la?
bor must solve th_ future problems
of peace, said the Right Rev. Charles
Gore, Lord Bishop of Oxford, England,
last night at the People's Institut;', at
Coop? r Union? He predicted radical
' changes in Britain's social structure.
"Traf!?; unions will double in mem
I bership," he said. "Men who have done
: their bit for England in turn will de
: maud that she do her bit for them.
"Germuny must be punished, and
! when the Teuton mind has assimilated
the needed lesson the people must be
admitid into international fraternity."
Bishop ('ore spoke at Trinity Church
in the morning. At that service the
Rev. Dr. W. T. Manning urged his con?

tage Secrets Learned About
Allied Shipping Before War
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 10. ? Albert i
Ballin, general director of the Ham- j
burg-American Steamship Company, I
died suddenly on Saturday, according I
to an announcement made in Berlin.
Death spared Herr Ballin, advocate
of unrestricted warfare and prohpet of!
a speedy victory for German arms, :
from witnessing the final defeat of the j
fatherland and the ignominious abdi j
cation of his intimate friend, the Kai?
ser. According to the meagre infor?
mation at hand, he died during the
hours the Kaiser was bidding his last
reluctant farewell to power.
As the head of the Hamburg-Ameri- i
can Steamship Company, and himself a |
heavy investor in ships then in neutral i
harbors for protection, Herr Ballin
early in the war was reputed to have
opposed unrestricted sinking of ships
lor the obvious reason that sooner or
later German ships would be seized to
replace the bottoms thus destroyed.
Later, however, he issued emphatic de?
nials of any such attitude. He ex?
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the progress of the illegal sinkings by
the U-boats and predicted a swift de?
feat of the Allies because of such
methods.
Herr Ballin long had had the ear of
the Kaiser, who accepted his advice
upon nil maritime matters without
question.
The director general of the Ham?
burg-American Line was born in 1857.
He was but twenty-nine years old
when ho became general passenger
agent of the Carr Line, then the Ham?
burg-American's most powerful rival.
He had grown up in the steamship i
business, having entered the service of1
his father immediately after his grad?
uation from the gymnasium in Ham?
burg.
His father sent him to England,
where he studied British methods of
shipping closely, incidentally obtaining j
much information that later was used
against the Allies in the war. The bit- |
ter warfare between the Carr and the ;
Hamburg-American lines continued j
until 1886, when the latter company i
absorbed its rival. But Instead of dis?
missing Ballin the Hamburg-American j
officials made him director general of j
the combined company, a position he
retained until his death.

New Quarters Only "Dead"
A shiny new quarter that rings
"dead" is not necessarily counterfeit.
In fact, the chances are that it is only
one of the coins containing minute air
holes which have slipped past inspec?
tion tests of the mints recently. The
slight imperfection, invisible to the
eye, makes a coin "plunk" like dead.
The Treasury secret service recently
has received several of these quarters
from persons who believed they had
discovered bogus coins. In each case
a good quarter was returned and the
"dead" money sent to the mint.?Wash?

Lutherans Here to
Effect Merger of
3 Dominant Bodies
Amalgamation of Units
Will Involve Membership
of 1,600,000 in U. S.
Three of the oldest bodies of the
| Lutheran Church in America, repre?
senting a baptized membership of
1,600,000, will give up their separate
entities and become united at a con?
vention to open here to-morrow morn?
ing.
The new organization, to be known
as the United Lutheran Church of
America, will be made up of the Gen
? eral Synod, organized in 1820; the
j General Council, organized in 1S67, and
j the United Synod South, organized in
I 1864.
j To-morrow morning's sessions will
! convene with the three ruling bodies
? meeting separately to complete their
corporate lives. The General Council
I will meet in Trinity Church, the Gen?
eral Synod in St. James's Church and
the United Synod South in the Church
. of the Advent.
Thursday morning members of the
three synods wiJl go in solemn pro- ;
; cession to the Holy Trinity Church ?
i for holy communion.
j The first meeting of the united or?
ganization will be held Friday morn
? ing in the auditorium of the Engi
! neers' Societies' Bui.ding, in West
I Thirty-ninth Street.
i The unification movement, it is
pointed out, does not mean the com- '
plete loss of the entities now making
up the Lutheran Church in America.
The situation is summed up in the
: following statement issued by the com?
mittee in charge of the new organi
; zation:
"Indications are that the divided Lu
| theran Church is drawing together for
greater common action. There is every
indication that the Lutheran situation
will resolve itself into three great
?groups representative of the linguis
1 tic and racial as well as the doctrinal j
? interests of the Church in this coun
? try. At tho same time there is every
! indication that these groups will act

Music
Brilliant D?but of New Vio- !
?inist, Mme. Guilbert
and Others
The large audience which gathered j
at Carnegie ilall yesterday afternoon
upon the occasion of the American j
d?but of Raoul Vidas, French violinist. !
did credit to its appreciation of musical
artistry by the warmth of welcome it ac- !
corded him.
It discovered in him a violinist who '?
will make his contemporaries, even in
the first rank, look to their laurels,
if he maintains the high standard which
his playing yesterday revealed. He !
came not as the heralded product of
a master's hand, but as an artist stand- I
ing upon his own merits for recogni?
tion. That recognition was not long \
delayed.
Boyish in appearance, but with a
certain dignity, entirely at his ease, but
without bravado, before his programme ;
had progressed far he showed himself i
a well grounded musician and an artist !
of sensibility.
Seldom has a newcomer received a i
more enthusiastic reception. He was :
welcomed with vociferous applause and
shouts of approval.
Mr. Vidas has to a remarkable degree
the essentials of the violinist's equip?
ment?an agile left hand, flexible and
admirably controlled bowing, sureness
of intonation, pleasing tone, of fine
sonority in the lower register, clear?
ness and brilliance in the upper, dis?
tinction in phrasing and warmth of feel?
ing tempered by good taste.
His performance of Corelli's " La
Folia," variations on an air of baffling
simplicity, with which he opened his
programme, proclaimed him at once a
musician of parts.
Other numbers were Concerto Russe,
by Lalo; the Andante from the G
minor sonata of Tartini; Wienlaw
ski-Thibaud Salterelle, which he re?
peated following a round of applause
for Mr. Thibaud, recognized in one of
the boxes. Intermezzo by Rauol La
parra, who also was in the audience.
Prelude -Allegro by Pugnani - Kriesler
and Jota Navarra by Sarasate. In all
these he showed mature powers, poise
und range of expression.
At the close of the programme he
added a number of short pieces, even,
at the insistence of the encore-seekers,
appearing acain after the stage lights
!?ad once been extinguished. He was
ably accompanied by L. T. Gruenberjr.
We feel safe in predicting that the
future holds much for this young man.
There "were two recitals in the
world of song yesterday. Miss Lydia

Ferguson, who appeared in the after- |
noon at the Punch and Judy Theatre, i
has been heard here before. Her vocal|
equipment is very limited, though her !
lower register has considerable beauty. j
Her chief virtues displayed yesterday '
were taste and clarity of diction, and !
these in the thrice intimate surround- j
irgs of the Punch and Judy brought !
pleasure in snch songs as Home's >
"I've Been Roaming" and Ho'm's '
"Tous deux." Her accompaniments !
were sympathetically played by Walter
Go^?e.
The evening concerts, which took
place at the Maxlr.e Elliott Theatre, j
was given by an awist of a very dif?
ferent calibre?by Mme. Yvette Guil- I
bert. There is but one Guilbert.
Charles Gounod once declared that
Mme. Guilbert had created a school,
and he was rieht in al! but one par- ?
ticular. She did create a school, and j
she has had many pupils?but. alas, no |
graduates! That there may be at
least one such must be the hope of all
who love great art. Last n?ght she
was especially delightful in the
Parisian satire of Louis XV. These
gay, cynical, heartless bits of post
Rochefoucault philosophy she gave as
only she can give them. Between her
numbers Miss Emily Grosser played
on the violin.
The only orchestral concert of the
day was that of the Symphony Society,
in the afternoon, at Aeolian Hall. The
programme wat the same as that of
the Carnegie Hall concert the night
before. The audience was largo and
enthusiastic.
Danes Here to Give Dinner
In Honor of Prince Axel
Two hundred persons are expected to
attend a dinner by the Danish Club of
New York at the Hotel Majestic Thurs?
day evening in honor of Prince Axel of
Denmark, a cousin of King George of
England, who is in America on a tour
of inspection of munitions plants.
A feature of the dinner will be filet
leviathan, or whale steak. Prominent
Danes from other cities will be present
to make addresses.
