Miss Graham-Mulliall Declares
City an<l ?State Face Big Task
In Caring for Addicts
"Not only should 'the drug sufferer
be treated, but all the influences, social
as well us medical, that tend to the
uso of narcotics should be investi?
gated," snid Miss Sara Graham-Mulhall,
the newly appointed deputy commis?
sioner of the New York State Drug
Commission, in outlining her policy to
The Tribune.
"Every hospital should be compelled
to open a ward for the care and treat
met?! of drug addicts, every physician
should be fully informed on the sub?
ject, every medical student should be
\ taught the habit-forming tendencies of
| .such drugs as morphine, veronal,
i hcorin, paregoric and cocaine. The
? government should prohibit without ex
j copiions the manufacture, importation
j and sale of heroin, which besides being
; cruelly dangerous is an unnecessary
| drug.
"if the twenty or thirty thousand
; addicts in New York City are to be
? driven into the state care then tho
! clinical facilities of the entire city
i will be needed for their adequate treat?
ment and a great extension of hospital
and other social service must be pro
! vided for, in addition to a general
1 mobilization of preventive therapeutic
resources."

Music
Verdi's "Requiem" Performed
in Victory Concert at Co?
lumbia University
A three nights' Victory Commemora?
tion Festival was begun in tho Colum?
bia University gymnasium last night.
. The purpose of the festival, as defined
by tiie president of the university.
Nicholas Murray Butler, is "to honor.
; through music, tho memory of those
. who made the supreme sacrifice for the
j cause of civilization and liberty, and
'? in commemorating them to sound the
I jubilant note of lasting victory."
Tho memorial function was accom
j plished last night by the performance
: of tue music composed by Verdi for
the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead,
; which deserves historical significance
, from the fact that it was written in
: honor of Manzoni.
'i he jubilar.;, noto will be heard, wc
imagine, on to-morrow evening, when r
setting by Walter Henry Hall, of the
?'Te Deum Laudamus," which has a
place in the Protestant as well as th?
Roman Catholic liturgy, will be sung
The rest of the scheme, if we excep'
"A Song of Victory," by Percy E
Fletcher, which will also be sung, to?
morrow evening, might be held to be
proper to any series of concerts anc
; ; peculiarly appropriate to none in par?
ticular. The strangest feature in the
me is Tschaikowsky's last sym
phony, set down for to-night, which
i while it has a somewhat lugubriousl;
: , jocose second movement and a mili
. tant third, ends in the depths of de
, \ spair. But it is only an element ii
a miscellaneous concert scheme whicl
'has music, and nothing but music, foi
?lt8 purpose.
The striking (""outstanding" is th
word to-day, wo believe) things of las
night's meeting were the demonstra
? . of the excellence of the Universit;
Gymnasium as a placo for music an?
the admirable performance by th
Chape! Choir of Tschaikowsky's eight
part, unaccompanied motif. "How Bles
Are They." That performance spok
well for what Professor Hall is doin
! at Columbia in the line of serious mi:
ideal work. As for tho "Requiem" :'
? was creditably performed by a quarte
? of Vari.? Sundelius, Mar
?Jordan Dan Bleddoe and Robert Malt
land, th-: Columbia University Choru
and the orchestra of tho Philharmoni
"America" was sung by th
quartet, choi is and audience in S
Edward Elgar's arrangement (of "Co
Save the King," we suppose), as wa
also the hymn, "O God, our Help i
, Ages Pi.st,' ;? i acts of pious devotio
' und tho hymn, "Stand Columbia!
; (G. C). Ward, '02) as a tributo to tl
[ niversity. The audience, which fill?
the vast room, disclosed a finely rove
ential appreciation of tho function.

"She's a Good Fellow" Is New
Musical Show at the
Globe
By Heywood Broun
"She'a a Good Fellow," which was
? produced at the Globe Theatre last
j night, has an excellent cast, good
: music, some amusing dialogue and the
' silliest plot of the season. Of course,
the game laws protect musical comedy
plots very closely, but it seems as if
i an exception should be made sooner or
? later which would permit the exter
, ruination of the s-tory of the young
' man who gains access to the girls'
boarding school disguised as a woman.
, However, at such times as the piece
: was not developing all the hackneyed
possibilities of this situation it was
pleasing enough.
The costumes were tasteful and the
j dancing delightful. Kern's music is
| tuneful. Not all of it is Btrikingly
l new, but when Kern has no composi
| tion to offer he is an excellent musical
! editor. Ho uses with good effect, and
j incidentally gives credit, Chopin and
', the old melody, "Kingdom Comin'," in
j two of his best numbers. "The Navy
! Foxtrot Man" has an excellent swing
! which should servo the ballroom for a
season or so.
Most of the comedy interest of the
'new musical piece rests with Olin
Howland, who plays the part of a
young man just venturing into skit
tishness, and he does it well, in addi
i tion to cooperating with Joseph Kant
ley in an enormously skilful burlesque
dance. James C. Marlowe, who has
I scored in a number of musical plays
I since his early farce success as the
| Hermit in "Seven Keys to Baldpate,"
| got a good deal out of somewhat scant
j material. Santley was an attractive
i leading man, and did well enough in
his feminine disguise, if you caro for
! that sort of thing. It may be said that
i he was entirely successful in never
! suggesting anything but a youn>* man
i made up as a young lady which helped
?to a certain extent. Ann (Irr was
| bouncing and breezy, and Ivy Sawyer
looked pretty and danced well. Scott
| Welsh was another principal who con?
tributed to the success of the perfor?
mance which seemed to entertain the
first night audience mightily.
Two soubrettes, presumably from
vaudeville, called the Duncan sisters,
made a prodigious hit. To us their
equipment seemed not very consider?
able, but they had nt least, an abund?
ance of spirit and an admirable sense
of rhythm. We rather think that a
metronome, if tastefully costumed,
would stampede any Broadway audi?
ence so keen is the enthusiasm for
rhythm. Since "She's A Good Fel?
low" possesses more than a fair share
of pace, there seems every reason to
j believe that it will be listed among
| the successful musical comedies of
I the season. The music, as already
! mentioned, is by Jerome Kern and
| Anne Caldwell wrote the book and
I lyrics.
Argonne Players Seen
At the Manhattan
The Argonne Flayers, a score of
? actor-soldiers who invented their en
i tertainment under the guns and now
i present it with the title of the "Araex
Revue," began a week's engagement at
I the Manhattan Opera House last night.
The "Amcx Revue" was presented 265
i times in France, in every conceivable
; circumstance, ranging from acute in
I convenience to downright peril, and
? differs in important respects from the
; "soldier show" of tho recent past. It
j is vaudeville instead of musical com?
edy, and is acted entirely by profes?
sional actors who became soldiers. It
has, in addition to soldier zip, the in?
imitable swing of the professional per
, formance and is in every way to be
i recommended.
Tho player who carried off the even
; ing's honors was one known well to
New Yorkers: Percy Helton, the boy
; in "The Return of Peter Grimm." He
! played a little crippled lad in a play
j let by Hal Crane.v called "Little Com
; i rade," and gave a powerfully appeal
I ing performance. He then appeared as
a girl in a sketch by Fred Rath called
"General Order Number Ten." Jack
] Waldron and Ad Pincus made some
| good fun in a burlesque called "Oi,
' General," and Harry Cahill gave a
? skilful series of female impersona
, ' tions.
Major General Robert Alexander of
tho 77th Division was one of the
? i guests.
| On the Screen
i Anita Stewart Does Creditable
j Work in "Mary Regan," a Film
Plav of Crooks and Love
Lois Weber puts so much of herself j
in her pictures that we always feel
when we see one of her productions
she doesn't approve of us and is try?
ing to tell us so politely.
Tho titles usually point a moral as
well as adorn tho tale, and all of our
pet vices, liko cabarets and joy riding
and spending moro money than we
have, are given to tho real undesir?
ables of tho story the people who get
killed in the 'last few feet, of film.
.Miss Weber directed "Mary Regan."
: the Picture in which Anita Stewart is
1 appearing at the Strand this week. It
i is an interesting story and Miss
! Stewart's work is good, but it is cut
up by many long titles which explain
at length that a man Is "noble" or "in
love" or "jealous" that merely retard
tho action. Prank Mayo, thn boro, and
Miss Stewart are both capable players
who can convey such things without
the guarantee of the written word.
Mary Regan is the daughter of a
thief, but while sho Inherits her
father's couratfo and good looks, it is
stated that she has inherited her
mother's virtue and wealth. So, of
course, Mary does not wish to have
anything to do with the schemes of
blackmailers or highwaymen.
A young district attorney (Frank
Mayo) is in lovo with Mary, but sho
refuses to marry him because shi? feels
that she is a sort of pariah on ac?
count, of her father's misdeeds, bo she
marries Jack Morton instead. She
labors under tho delusion that she can
reform him! Of course, she didn't; but
wo could havo forgiven him his trans?
gressions more easily than we could
overlook the thing he did tho day they
started on their honeymoon.
His, former fianc?e had not yet been
informed of the marriage, and, as tho
bride and bridegroom are on their way
to luncheon, they meet the former
financ?e.
"Oh, Jack," sho exclaims. "You are
just in timo to lunch with me." And
no ono seems to think it strange when
hu leaves Mary standing in the lobby
of tho, hotel and sits down to cat with
friend fianc?e.

YOUR TOWN
/^ITY HALL began feverishly to have
^-< its front yard cleaned early yes?
terday. The reason was the expected
call of Major General Alexander on
Mayor Hylan.
The objects attacked were the ever?
green trees with which City Hail's
front yard was decorated for the wel?
come of the 27th Division, and which1
had long since changed from evergreen :
trees to deep-brown trees.
It having been decided not to wel- !

city employes were pressed into emer?

hurriedly called, and the withered dec?
orations were gone by the timo General ?

raid and Mary married her District At-i
torney. Over his dead body she ex-!
plains to his father, so there can be no:
possibility of mistake, "I married him,,
but?I never have been his wife."
In the cast are Carl Miller, Barney
Sherry, Brinsley Shaw, George Hernan?
dez, Hedda Nova and Lyn de Gonda.
On the programme are also a Bobbv
Bumps Cartoon, the Strand Topical I
Review and an outing-chester scenic. |
The overture is "Polonaise No. 2,"
with Car! Edouarde conducting. The |
Strand ladies'quartet sang "Molly" and :
"Mary Regan," and Ann Rutiedge ap- !
poured as "The girl in the bubble" and |
sang "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles."!
Manager Plunkett has invented some!
sort of device which looks like a huge I
bubble and Miss Rutiedge appears to !
be inside of it. H. U.

"Bal Bleu'' Attracts
Thro iig of Society
And Stage Favorites

satyrs, surrounding Miss Evans Bur?
rows Fontaine, who appeared in classic
dances. In another number Melville
Gideon, just hero from England, col-,
laborated with P. G. Wodehouse in a
number called "Pastel Bleu," in which
six Ziegfeld belles appeared in cos?
tumes suitable to various hours of tho
day and night.
Among those who had tables for sup?
per were Mrs. Henry M. Tilford, Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, jr., who gave
a large dinner at her home in Fifth

Some Miscellaneous Incidents of the
Auction Room
The season at the American Art Gal?
leries is almost at an end. The sale
of Judson D. Metzgar's collection of
Japanese color prints, which is set for
May 15 and 36, after an exhibition be?
ginning on the 12th, will be the last
this spring. Meanwhile the smaller
rooms on the main floor are filled with
an array of objects from various
owners, embracing porcelains, bronzes
and reproductions from the antique.
These reproductions form an inter?
esting body. They include, to begin
with, a set of electrotype versions of
tho vessels in the famous Hildesheim
treasure, cups bowls and other Roman
utensils, utilitarian in their origin, but
exquisite a3 works of art. The repro?
ductions arc those consummately made
by Christofle of Paris. Fven more ex?
tensive is the collection here of elec?
trotypes made by Elkington & Co., the
English silversmiths, of antique ob?
jects, chiefly in tho South Kensington
Museum. All the schools are drawn
upon, French, German and Italian, and
all manner of decorative masterpieces
are represented, salvers, bowls, tank?
ards and so on. Armor is also repro?
duced, the originals in this case being
sought out in several Continental mu?
seums. A noticeable item in this collec?
tion is a fascinating reduction of the
Vend?me Column.
Besides the objects in metal there
is a small collection of the Tiffany
favrile glass, and a number of cases
are filled with Oriental porcelains and
other souvenirs of the East. The sin?
gle color glazes are fine, and there is
some particularly good blue and white.
In one case appears a group of mugs
painted by members of the Salmagundi
Club, after their habit of producing
twenty-four such pieces every year.
They have pleasing bits of color and
design, from papular brushes. Among
tho contributors are Charles Volkmar,
Edward H. Potthast, Henry B. Snell,
A. T. Van Laer, Arthur Schneider, Al?
bert L. Groll, Milton If. Bancroft and
John C. Johansen. All these things
at the American Art Galleries will bo

afternoons.
The New York School of Applied De?
sign for Women will hold, from May

?War flavor Pervades
Programme at Palace
Soldiers With Vaudeville Talent
Solve the Unemployment
Problem
The unemployment problem Is not
troubling ex-warriors with vaudeville
talent, if one may judge by the pres?
ent bill at the Palace Theatre.
Beginning with Sammy Lee and
winding up with Lieutenant Gltz Rice
and selected heroi ? of the "Yon Know
Me, Al " and "Let's Beat It" companies,
the programme fairly exudes soldierly
atmosphere.
The advantages of masculine beauty
in the chorus were demonstrated in the
riotous performances of the beauties
i of "Putting it Over," as the soldier
skit is entitled. Walter Roberts as
. Misa Arline-Marjoxie Bronson-Mack
; outsirened previous conquests of the
? bald-headed row by coming down from
the stage and taking her pick of tho
? audience, to sit upon his knee and
, chuck him under the chin, the while
I she sang him a tender song. The song
, was interrupted by a strong-armed
gob in tho next row. who annexed the
beauty by militaristic methods.
Irene Bordoni and Lieutenant Gitz
Rice sang with much spirit several
, favorito war songs, including "Fritzie
! Boy" and "Tho Marne." und then the
) lieutenant won sympathy for his own
I unkhakied appearance by singing "If
. You Haven't Got a Uniform It's Hard
r to Get a Girl."
j Julius Tannen In "Chatterbox," and
. Lillian Shaw, the vocal dialect come
I dienne, were amusing, while Harry and
1 Emma Sharrock had the crowd com
I pletely mystified by a guessing con

Richard Walton Tully, dramatist and
producer, has returned to New York
after a tour of the United States study?
ing the theatrical outlook for the com?
ing year. "It seems to me," he said,
"that next season should be about, the
best ever; the returning soldiers will be
a large factor in making the theatres
prosperous."

Johnny Dooley, interpreter of acro?

ing room a photo of himself taken in
less prosperous days. The photograph
is inscribed: "Lest I forget that I did
fifteen shows in a day live years ago in
Philadelphia."
The following letter was received by
Charles Dillingham:
"Honored Sir: Hearing you use ani- I
mais in your show, I take my pen in
hand to recommend Mrs. Susan or 1
'Suke' Whitford, of this town. I have i
lived neighbor to Mrs. Whitford for'
thirty years, and she has run her own ;
farm and bought the property without
asking help from a living soul. She
has got two fine cows, which are not
only good milkers but can do tricks ?
besides. They are weeping cows, be- !
cause if Mrs. Whitford speaks cross to
them or whips them they will stand
and big tears roll down their faces. She
has trained them to mind just like
dogs, and I should think two such
animals with their owner would be a
big attraction in your coming show."
Oliver Morosco's announcement that
he would give a prize of $500 for a
suitable play for Francis X. Bushman
has brought abundant response.

year 1919, and gi ;
at Aeolian Hall. M ss Madriguera
showed at her d?but and at ull her
succeeding appearanci 1 a marke?!
1 pianistic talent, but her extreme you:h
prevented her from going beyond that.
Now that she no longer is a ei.
advance in the deeper things of her
'art might begin to appear, but, 1>? be
frank, it did not appear last night.
; She played the opening Beethoven
: sonata correctly enough, but with no
sense of its nal nature, und
: Chopin group only the valse and th..?
tarantello found her altogether at
1 home.
In the Spanish group the "S.

she played with color, yol ,.
cacy, and with o splendid rh
feeling. Mips Ma?!riguera is S]
and it is as yot only in Spanisn music
that she has a definite message to do
liver. But at least in one field she is
surpassingly good, which is rare in
pianists, be they young or old. G. V.
