On the Screen William S. Hart at Rivoli and Pauline Frederick at Rialto Theatre Yesterday was a day of burglars and reformcd burglars for us. At the Rivoli, William S. Hart in "The Poppy Girl'a Husband" said "I love her and I'm going straight after this," and at the Rialto Jere Austin in "The Woman on the Index" said "I love her and I'm going straight after this." And, really, burglars seem to bo the very nicest sort of men around the house. "The Poppy Girl'is Husband" left us with a keen desire to marry a burglar, settle dow:, m a heavenly spot auch ns wo had just seen depicted on thc screen nnd hve happy ever after. Never having been particoilarly en rapport with bucking bronchos and sombreros and cowboy desperadoes. we ? confess to liking "The Poppy Girl's Husband" much better than any of the pictures which Mr. Hart has done for along time. We do not know just how : !'*i J?/'l pp?rs are eoinf** t0 tak" this adual departure, nnd Mr. Hart himself ?nd tho same npprehension; hence. his adhorence to tho Western character. re. I ?, t0 'U'W pictUt'C 'S huma'* **n<* r<.al an, convincing and not without its thrills, ?nd Hart does some re mnrkahle work in it. As the star is never without a sig nI 7*""* ?-''*?nomen, this time ho is called Hairpin" Harry Dutton because no can pick a lock in less timo than anv man in the business. Harry wasn't a Raffles?ho wasn't nandsomo and he wasn't clcver?and yet so strongly did hc hold tho sym pathy of his spectntors that when he announced "I'll beat the best cop that ever hved" some ono broke into in voluntary applause, much to the amuso ment of his noighbors. The Poppy girl is Juanita Hanscn. One year after her marringe to Hair? pin Harry he is sent t<j jail for four teen years for burglary, leaving hor and a month-old son behind him in San Francisco. Harry is a model husband. nnd he hns arranged for Polly to live ln case during his enforced' nbsenca from his own tircsidc. All through thc dreary years ho keeps hia faith ln her nnd whun, after a decado of prison wulls, he is paroled lie flies to San Francisco to join his wife and son, Boston Ulacklo meets him and finaliy tells him that Polly marricd Hig Mike McCafTcrty ono year after ho wns sent away. "The cop thnt got mcl" exclaimed Harry, With revengo in hir- heart, Harry woitH around, nnd flnally ho moots his young son, who is at tho "Indian age." lie bocomos i.o engrossed In nmusing his son nnd playing Indian with him ihat he forgots nil about his revongo until ho learn ono day that, at tho ln 1 igal ion of Polly, ho is about to bc "framed" nnd Hont back to prison. Immodiatoly after Harry learned of his wife's unfaithfulness ho set to work upon Bomp mysterious ongraving, which flnally turnod out to bo a branding iron. On the night that ho ia to make his gctaway ho opons- tho door of her home, while Big Mike is out luinting for him, cpnfronts her with her du plicity nnd tells her ho is going to brnnd her. Oh, how we prayed for him to hurry, for wo could see flashes of young Don? ald upstairs in the nursery, and we knew that be was going to run down crying "Mammal Mnmma!" and spoil the job. It happencd just as we expected, and mamma, who so richly deserved it, went unbranded. But Hairpin Harry took his son by the hand, and they walked out of the door and into the most beautiful exterior we ever have looked at. It is the place we mentioned in the first part of this writing where wo thought wo should like to own our own home. And there Harry and son Donald just played Indian for the rest of their lives. lt is a most satisfactory pict? ure and well worth going to see. The comedy is a Harold Lloyd-Pathe called "A Sammy in Siberia." There is the Rivoli PictovJal and a Prizma showing the trout in his eJement. Adolf Bolin, of the Metropolitan, has arranged a dance in silhouotte with a John Wenger setting. The music is mari'ellous and we wondered whether it was Rinsky-Korsakoff or De Nussy, and then we looked at the programmo and it was Victor Herbert. The light opera number is "The Pink Lady" and the ovcrture is "First j Hungarian Rhapsody," with Krno Rapeo | and Joseph Klein conducting. Every one we spoke to coming out of the Rialto said that he liked "The Woman on the Index." Since wo had not been particularly impressed with it we wished that wc might slay and see it over again, because it hardly had had a fair chance tho first time. We sat between those two greatest pests of the movie house?the man who reads nil the titles out loud and the man who kicks your scat with his foot during the entire performance. And the theatre wns so crowded that there was no place to which to move. The picture is Pauline Frederick's first for Gold wyn, and undoubtedly Miss Frederick does ns good work as she ever has done on the screen. Wyndham Standing will add to the joyousness of any ocension, although he hadn't enoiigh to do as David Maber, the husband; Willard Mack was Hugo De closse, the villain. Biit we who had seen the play and enjoyed it, felt that thc picture was going forward in great leaps and bounds like a car going ninety miles an hour without giving the passengers a chance to catch their breath or'cn joy thc scenery. And how unlikely it seemed that Sylvia Martin, living, as she did, in a robbcr's garret, and being tended by a hag who looked as though her only mission in life was to sing "Double, Double Toil and Trouble," could have mistaken her hushand's vocation! i What did she think he was? A journ ; alist, perhaps, or a street car owner? And then thc first thing you know she was accused of murder, and then sho was ac.'iuitted, and next she was seen in Washington as thc wife of a senator or some celebrity. She ex pluincd in a way that she had worked in a factory in Chicago, as a stenog? rapher in St. l.ouis, and an private sec? retary in Wnshington; nnd Burely her two years out of prison had done won ders for her in the way of education and poise. In thc play, we remembcr, one of tho robbcrs who appearcd in tbe prologuo branded Sylvia on the forehcad, and thc excitoment ran high every time any ono touched her hair in after years. You wondered how she was ever go? ing to explain away that branri and then, when tho denoucment came, sho calmly lifted her hair and showed her forehcad without a Bcnr. This incident wim left, out of thc picture entirely. The story reccives its namo from the. fact that, the name Sylvia Martin is in tho index of the polico record and in attempting to destroy tho evidence Sylvia g'ves Declasse the clue to her 14th Street, near Third Avenue identity. Thero is a quite unexpected twist to the fminh which Is almost as eifective on the screen as it was on the stage. The scenario was made by Willard Mack from George Broadhurst's play. Hobart Henley directed it. The comedy is "Reilly's Wash Dav," and there is a scenic picture called "An Lssay of the Hills,* as well as the Kialto Magazine. The Rialto Male Quartette sang two numbers. Tho first was "The Lost Chord" nnd the second "The Musical Trust." The overture is the final movement from "Scheherazade," with Hugo Riesenfeld and Nat Finston conducting. At tho Strand the feature is D. W. Griffith's "Tho Girl Who Stayed at Home." ."The Fire FlinRers" is at the Broadway, with Rupert .lulian and Jane Novak. These will be reviewed to? morrow. H. u. Rufus E. Moore Collection of Chinese Art on Exhibition at Anderson Calleries 'I iie Anderson Galleries bave placed on exhibition, mul will sell later in the week, a valuable collection of Chinese works of art from tho estate of the late Rufus 10. Moore, with additions from the private collection of Mr*. Moore. The collection is rich in antfque potteries nnd porcelains, jades and other semi-preciods stones, bron/.es, lacquer and cloisonne. Of particular interest is turquoise. censer of tho Chien Lving period with a balbuous body carved in sllght re? lief, two motal butterfly handles and set in a finely carved wood stand. A pair of mirror black club shaped vases, K'ang Ksi, are also worthy of note, and ought to cause keen bidding, as the black gla/.e is of exccptional brilliance and has the unusual markings of two whito rings armmrl lips. At the second ses:ion of the sale blue and white and decorated porce? lains will be sold. Of the former, two BWeetmeat jars are shown of tho K'ang Hsi period, graceful in form, with a cracked iee pattern in brilliant cobalt blue, also an imperial blue and white bottlo vase of tho Ghlen Lung period.

Orchestral Society Gives Second Subscription Concert in Aeolian Hall The Orchestral Society of New York gavo its second subscription concert yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall. and Conductor Max Jacobs again proved that he is able to perform sym phonic music in a workmanlike fsish ion. Mr. Jacobs's band is uneven in merit, the strings are good, the wood winds basso, the brass rough, yet he managed to give a clear and well articulated performance of the Bach Abert "Preludc, Choral and Fugue" and a rnoderately successful reading of the Brahms Second Symphony, a reading at times rather angular and dull, but at other times surprisingly light. Thero was a new work on the programme, Harry Hadley's overture to Stephen Phillip's "Herod." which was written on the order of Richard ! Mansfield, at the time he expected to produce tho play. The work is still in ! manuscript and received its first per- I formance in Paris under the corn poser's direction by the Chevillard ' Orehestra. It is Hadley at his best and despite a by no means brillian-t performance, it made a pleasing im? pression. It is fluent, it possesses a| number of charming molodic nhrases, ' it has -color and rhythmic effective ness. Its flavor is not particularly ! personal, but aa a bit of eclectic writ? ing, it is excellent. It would, how? ever, probably be more telling In connection with a performance of th" drama than by itself in the concert room. The other numbers were. Saint Saona'a "Rondo Capriccioso," thc solo part played by Miss Vera Barstow. nnd the Tschaikowsky "Marcho Slav." Rudolph Bowers, a violinist unknown to the concert world, gave a recital last night at Aeolian Hall. He gave a programme which inciuded a group of Kreislor, and the Paganini-Wilhelmi D major concerto. Mr. Bowers played with a certain dash, but otherwiso there was nothing in his work to call lor comrnent. There wns n 'arge audience at the regular Sunday night concert at the Metropolitan. Mischa Elman played with his usual brilliancy the Wieni awski D minor concerto and a group of short pieces, Charles Hackett sang "0 Paradiso" and a number of songs, and j Miss Helena Marsh gave "Voce di j donna" from "La Gioconda'' and several songs. Richard Hageman directed the orehestra. G. V. Josef Hofmann Entrances Audience With Recital Josef Hofmann's recital at Carnegie j Hall yesterday afternoon was rather a j delightful experience than an event. Few pianists are as intimate with the mystery of tone color in all its depth. Few, too, are capable of entrancing a j great audience with as little etl'ort, and without fireworks. His playing was wholly without mannerisms. There was the least possible projection of personality, except that which colored I the sounds made by his t'ingers. His performance had the perfect simplicity of true art. In the calm, almost non chalant display of supreme achieve ment, the perfect blending of flawless mechanism, quickening emotions and controlling mentality, a rare combina tion, was upparcnt. The pianist's programme inciuded Beethoven's Sonata Appassionata, Saint-Saens's arrangement of the same composer's Chorus of tho Dervishes, five numbers by Chopin, Scriablne's "Poeme," more musical and less per verso than many of his other works; Rachmaninoff's charming "Polichi [ nelle," Tschaikowsky's Reverie due Soir" nnd Lisat's "Venezia e Napoli." Bar after bar of exquisite sound came from Mr. Hofmann's wise, highly trained hands. Tho uncanny beauty of his touch at times beggared descrip tlon. Difflculties of technic were dls missed with dlabolical ease. But the dominant impression was of the rich ness of Mr. Hofmann's palette, from which he choso an infinite variety of tones thnt wero playful or caressing, veiled or crisp, tender or passionate according to the nature of the music. K. W. N. Y. Comedy for London Andre Charlot, London theatrical | manager, signed a contract in the of? fice of the White Star Line to give aj London prodVction to "Three Wisel Fools." the current Smith-Golden comedy success.

Pop BUtlLESQUE HEVUE ll'tli-ea Relatives' Wishes For Disposition of Hero Dead Asked A*?v> York Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON1, March 23.-The War Department has started to canvass all relatives of soldiers who were buried in France on the subject of return of the bodies to this country. While au thority waa sought of the last Con? gress to make an appropriation for the establishment of a national Field of Honor in France for the burial of all the American dead of the recent war, the War Department desires wherever possible to meet the wishes of the rela? tives of the heroes and return to this country the bodies of all who desire interment here. The following memorandum of infor mation is being 6ent to relatives of soldier dead: "The War Department desires to as certain the wishes of the families of officers, etilisted men and civilian em? ployes, regarding the permanent dis? position of tho bodies of those who have died overseas. The representa tives of the rieceased are being called upon now for an expression of their desirea regarding the final disposition of the bodies. "I cannot bo stated now just when the work of tninsfer of the bodiea to this country will begin. as it must be deferred until the conditions, including that of tratisportation, warrant the un dertaking. Duo notice will be given through the public press. "It ia not deemed practicable to grant reiiuests for relatives, friends or un dertakera to go to France to superin tend the proparation and shipment of or to accompuny bodiea back to the United States. You will appreciato that there were over 69,000 casualties abroad, and to permit even one repre? sentative to cross in each case would require a great deal of tratisportation both on the sea and abroad. Upon ar rival abroad they would have to depend upon the grave registration units for iiinniniiiinnr NOW ON VIEW PLAZAART ROOMS, Inc. 5-7 East 59*h St. (Near 6 th At.) Edward P. O'ReUIy.

"Details concerning the death of our soldiers are not ordinarily received bjr the War Department. It is believed you will appreciate the fact that aa a rule it will not be possible to furniah details.
