Factiouul Strife
Of Teachers To Be
Aired at I aiu-rlit on
^Kadu-aP aml "Conserva-*
tive" Leaders Will Sprak
on Freedom in Schools at
Hotel McAlpin Saturday
Tho strife which has been going on
for months between "radical" and
"conservative" factions of the tcaching
staff of the city's public school?. will
be brougt into the open at a luncheon
conferenco under the auspices of the
Pub'.ic Education Association in tho
Hotel McAlpin on Saturday noon.
"Freedom and Initiative in the
Schools" will be the subject for dis?
cussion. This will be treated from
the radical and conservative points of i
\iew by Dr. Henry Linville, president j
ot" the Teachers' Union, and Dr. John !
L. Tildsley, associate superihtendent j
of schools, respeetively.
"More general phases of the problem j
will be touched upon by Zecheriah
Chafee, assistant professor of law at !
Harvard, and Dr. George Drayton
Strayer, president of tho National
Education Association and professor
of educational administration in Teach?
ers' College.
Whatever fireworks ensue probably
will come during the speeches of Dr.
Tildsley and Dr. Linville. The former
hss been most active in quashing the
so-called "radical" tendencies of a
group of teachers. Dr. Linville, as
president of the Teachers' Union.
which has ben denied the privilege of
of holding meetings in the public
schools by the Board of Education.
always has been regarded as the chief
exponent of the "radical movement."
Mr. Chaffec will discuss the problem
from a more general point of view and
Dr. Strayer will summarize the dis?
cussion and also will address himself
to the national aspects of the situation.
?Mi*? Baket-V Annual Recital
Miss Amy Baker will give her annual
rrcital in the music room of the Hotel
Biltmore, to-morrow afternoon. She
will be assisted by Walter Greene,
baritone, with Alfred Boyce at thc
piano.
Automotives
Anything like thc present bull mar?
ket for used automobiles in thi3 city
is hard to recall. Dealers in all
grades of second-hand machinea have
their floors pretty well cleared of
goods, and are scouting around to have
a stock on hand. This tends to make
prices higher all round, and some re
markable things are happening.
For instancc. the used car depart?
ment of a factory branch was quot
ing yesterday $550 on a discontinued
model two years old that never sold
above ?T50 when it was new. All the
n'.d ideas about "dopreciation" go in
the discard in tho face of such pricca
aa these. Another discontinued model,
> :?-???? ' Id, w as offered a' 15800, the
$1,065 or thercabouta.
Aa foi almost current models, they
were aelling practically at tho pr :e
a :.".i U<-: them when new.
And, ht that, the salesman smiled
blandly snd aaid: "We can't get en?
ough cars, aa it ia, We have more
customers than automobiles, and we
would be glad to get more machinea.
ive don't keep them on thc floor very
long."
Comparod to Btuff of thia sort, mi I
lion-share days on the Stock Ex
change are small-timo performance*.
A group of Italian cnginecrs con
nected with the Fiat factory, after an
exhauatiye examination into American
automobile manufacturing methods,
haa returned to Italy to lay tho re
suits of their investigationa bi for<
the heada of Turin, Plans are be?
ing deveioped to apply the 1,? il
American methods to the best of Ital
ian methods, and to turn out cars
on a quantity production basis in cer?
tain models. Announcement of the de
?ailed plans of the company will be
made soon by J. S. Josephs, who rep
reaents Fiat in this country.
Report has it that the leading in?
terest in Maxwell Motors has acquired

She met with
plenty of opposi?

she had optimism and determination.
and in courso of time a substantial
board stood behind her. The nursery,
first started on East Sixth Street, grew
to such dimensions that a new build?
ing had to be put up on the same site.
To-day it houses from eighty to ninety
children.
Miss Wheeler was largely respon
sible, also, for the opening, some seven
years ago, of the Bleecker Street Me
morial Nursery for Italian children.
A new and larger building is now be?
ing erected on this site.
"The day nursery stands first, for
the preservation and maintenance of
the home," says Miss Wheeler. "it
disengages the arms of the mother
and gives her the freedom to utilixe
her time."

May baskets filled with dimes for
Freneh children are to take the place
this year of tho old-fashioned flower
fllled baskets which children used to
bang on their playmatos' doorknoba in
celebration of springtime.
Covernors of thirty-six states have
promised the American Committee for
Dcvastated France, to appoint May Day
as a special day for an intcrehau'gc of
grcetings between tho children of the
Lnited Sttes and of France. Postcards
bearing gaily painted May baskets, with
nve holes into which children may slip
five dimes, have been prepared by the
thousands for tho committee nnd are
now being distribnted all over the
country. ,
In addition to many May parties
which children will hold in their homes
each little guest coming with his May
basket filled with dimes for Freneh
children, ihere will be a Children's
Garden Fete under the auspiee3 of the
committee at, the Cosmopolitan Club.
Mrs Cass Gilbort, chairman of the
Children's Committee of the American
Committee for Devnstated France, is
arranging the city-widc celebration, and
Mrs. E. R. Hewitt is arranging the de
tails of the fete. There will bo a May
queen and a garden of "flowers" danc?
ing attendanee upon her.
The May baskets for dimes will be
distributed at tho hotels and restau
rants on May day as place cards, and
many other agencies are. co-operating
in the distribution. At the Metro?
politan Museum and the Museum of
N'atural History, a child in the costume
of Alsace-Lorraine will preside over a
mammoth May basket.
The money received from the May
baskets will be sent, to Miss Anne Mor?
gan, of thc Committee for Devastated
France, for the support of its children's
home at Chateau Boulleyt.hierry. Here
Freneh children whose homes hiive been
destroyed are given shelter and school
ing until their parenta can rebuild
their cottages and provide proper home
conditions again.

Plays and Players
Morris Gest arrived in New York
yesterday aftcr a six week's trip to
London and Paris, where h 1 was in
search of new theatrical material. He
has brought back with him the "Aphro
dite" of Pierrc Lcuys, the musical
comedies, "Phi-Phi" and "Flup" and
the comody farce, "The Inheritor of the
Bal Tabarin" from Paris, These play?
will all be produced in America by
Comstock and Gest.
From London. Mr. Gest brought Oscar
Ashes's fantasy, "Mecca," and the see
ond edition 01 "Chu Chin Chow," and
ashis own personal enterprise. Percy
Hutchinson's mclodrama, "The Luck of
the Navy." He arranged i'or produc?
tion in London of "The' Wanderer" and
"Experience," by Elliot, Comstock and
Gest. "The Wanderer" will be produced
at the Drury Lane Theatre, and "Ex?
perience" at the Sir Henry Irving
Lyceum Theatre. Both productions will
have all-American casts. Plans to pro?
duce various Century Roof Midnight
Whirl numbers in the Alhambra in
London were completed.
Mr. Gest says that the best of all his
"finds" is "Apnrodite," but he has his
doubts. "What I shal! miss in my pro?
duction of 'Aphrodite' is the effect that
Paris witnessed in tho crucifiction of
the nudc woman. To my mind there is
nothing more beautiful than the human
body and nothing more vulgar than
tights. But New York censors insist
upon tights," and Mr. Gest shrugged
his shouldera.
Conatance Binney, leading lady, is
also an artistic dancer and will entor

Drama
"I>?rk Rosaleen," a Horse Race
Play of Ireland, nt
thc Belasco
By Heywood Broun
A good many typcs of plnys are
; combined in "Dark Rosaleen," which
j was presented et tho Belasco Theatre
| last night. "In Old Ker.tucky" nnd
I "Romeo and Jtwrit" have been com
', bincd, and the resulting product trana-'
j forred to Ireland. W. D. Hopcnstall
; and Whitford Kane, the authora of thc
| now romantic farcc-comody, seem more
| interested in the comic possibilities
| of intensive studies in local color:
j than in plot. The story of the play !
| is slight and halting. Although "Dark;
1 Rosaleen" ia a play about a race horse,'
j the authors are seldom willing to give i
i the piece its head. Most of the fun j
j of the entertainment lies in the de-j
velopment of the comic possibilities
of characters who are often slightly
j connected with the themc of the play.
; These interludes are generally shrcwd
i ly devised. and in some cases brill- '
mntly acted, and they served to amuse
the firat-night audience to a high
' degrce.
None of the possibilities of the Irish '?
i question is allowed to go by the boards.
i Whcnever the playwrighta have been
in any doubt as to what to do next I
? they have almost invariablv decided to i
( let somebody say something about Ire- ;
j land fettered or Ireland free. Pessi- '
; miatlc summaries of Ireland's present
state and optimistic prophecies of her !
j future wero received with equal en-;
I thusiasm. I'ersonaiiv, we can see no
good reason why Ireland should not be
? free, but at the same time we never'
i have been able to understand the emo
tional stimulus which audiences of '
I Irish extraction or sympathies seem to
j derivo from the sight of a number of
comic characters in a play sitting'
? about and weeping in their beer for the
! wrongs of poor old Erin. We never
| could figure out just how this was
supposed to help along the cause of
, self-determination for the much dis- '
i tressed country. However, there seema !
! to be no doubt that material of this
sort 13 sure fire in the theatre, and .so
it proved last night.
"Dark Rosaleen" tells the story of
two conflicting households, the young
est members of which are in love lt
goes on to solve their problem by al- !
lowing the young man to ride' the
| horse of the young girl to victory in
| a race through which she earns enough
; money to pay olf her father's debts
and save him from evietion. The
honor and glory of the exploit on the
l track suftice to unite the warring fac
j tiona.
I Eileen Huban plays the part of the
i young Irish girl with a great deal of
j akill and charm even though the part
is so sentimentalized at times as to
make it hard to carry. Henry Duft'y.
. who played young Whitcomb Riley in
, "Home Again," has a plcasant quality
of ingenuousness, but ne aometimes
outdid even his part in sweetness.
! Probably the most succeasful perform
j ance of the evening was given by
I Beryl Mercor in the role of an old
peddling woman. She brought a fine
flood of humor to this part and made
.every one of her appearancea on the
, stage delightful. Thore are also good
| performances by Walter Edwin,
Thomas Mitchell, Dodson I.. Mitchcll
and Robert Cummings.
"Dark Rosaleen" ia much too ajight
and too acattered to be a good play, but

it contains an abundanco of comic
scenes, a little genuine sentimont and
enough of a craditable, imitation sert
to make it serve as good theatrical en
tertainment for the average theatre
goer. That is if we know tho average
theatregocrs, and inded if there is any
such person. For the rest there are
true moments of fine playing by Miss
Huban and Miss Morcer. "which should
be. sufflcient reward. The best of the
work of Kano and Hepenstall is excel?
lent. The worst is a good deal worse.
David Belasco has assembled a good
east and has workod the possibilities of
local color to the last possible quaver
ing note of the inevitable blind liddier
Dark Rosaleen herself appears on the
stage, and we found her a pretty but
rather unimpreasive horse from a rac
inp standpoint. We doubt if she could
carry much weight over a distance, but
then thero are probably few Eternals
or Billy Kellya or such like in Ireland,
Her price was twenty to one. nml she
won in a common canter. Still, she did
it off stage.

Tony Sarg's Mariouettes
At the Punch antl Judy
The little Punch and Judy Theatre
last night fulfilled the purpose for
which, by i's name. it was in
tended by housing Tony Sarp's highly
intelligent and diverting band of pup
pets. They presented a dramatization
of Thackeray's "Tho Rose and the
Ring," ;?! which thc Thackerayan sa
tiric 'rain is very mild indeed. it is
a fairy talc, filled with incident, hov
ever, which allows opportunity for a
really ai g display of marionette
clevei icss. With the aid of the back
atage vo c s quite extraordinary char
acterizations ar.' accompliahod. The
east includes a wonderful beneficem
lion, ' I er to that other dc
"Androcles," as well as
a puppi vho is spirited beyond
description. It is a pity that puppet
shows seem constructed soleiy for
juvenile consumption. With plays a
trifle less exclusively juvenile these
shows would make excellent entertain
rown -ups.
'i'he settinga and lighting i"or thia
miniaturo production ar.' excellent.
