I ?-? American Jews to Aid Brethren in Rumania Federation in Convention Here Decides on Undertaking Relief Work The Federation of Rumanian Jews of America will issue an appeal for fonds to-day wherewith to purchase food and clothing for the Jews of Ru? mania, who are reported- to be in dire circumstances as a result of the deso? lation wrought by the war in that coun? try. Decision to issue the appeal and undertake- extensive r'-l;r-f work was taken at the convention of the Federa? tion in the Hotel Astor, yesterday. About 300 delegates, representing eighty-five branches and 26,000 mem? bers tnroughout the United States, were present. Samuel Goldstein, presi? dent of the Federation, presided. The following committee was elected to take charge of the proposed relief ?work : 8. Suffrin, former assemblyman from the eighth New York district, and chairman of the committee on Ruma? nian-Jewish affairs ef the American Jewish Congress; Samuel Goldstein, Isaac Aberman, A. Kaiman, B. Bron stein, F. Falick, D. Sigel, E. A. Stein, A. Brill and Morris Eeiss. Members of the committee will pro? ceed immediately to. Washington to confer with officials regarding the chartering of vessels and the obtaining of licenses for delivering food and clothing to the Jews of Rumania through the port of Constanza. The committee will work in cooperation with the Red Cross and the joint dis? tribution committee of the American Jewish Congress. .-? - Episcopal Church Plans Nation-Wide Campaign Will Seek to Show Men and Women Everywhere Bene? fits -of Religion William Fellowes Morgan, president of the Merchants Association; Haley Fisk, president of the Metropolitan Lifo Insurance Company, and a score of other New York business men have completed, it was announced yester? day, their plans to carry out the Episcopal Church plan to interest every man in religion. The campaign, launched by the New York diocese, is to be carried into every state of the union. Mr. Morgan said yesterday that, as a beginning, a survey of the New York diocese was now under way to ascer? tain conditions prevailing in each par? ish. "It is a recognized fact now," said i Mr. Morgan, "that the working man j and woman are entitled to safe and | healthful surroundings in employment; i to fair working hours and wages; to proper housing and adequate recrea? tion. When those conditions arc met I we may look with more assurance for a greater 'spiritual reaction from the workers." -a-, Miss Edith Grif enhagen i Bride of Capt. Freedman i Couple Will Go to Europe on Honeymoon, Then Will Re? turn to Live in New York Miss Edith H. Grifenhagcn, daughter of former Sheriff and Mrs. Max S. Grifenhagcn, was married yesterday at "Stonehurat," the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Grifenhagcn at. Frecport, . Long Island, to Captain Isadore Freed ! man, formerly of the Canadian army. j The couple met last fall when both were working for the Liberty Loan. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Maurice H. Harris, of Tempi? Israel, under a canopy of Americar Beauty roses, orchids and lilies-of-the valley, all from the gardens of th( ? Grifenhagen estate. The bride wore an orchid colorer j chiffon gown, with bat to match, am ! carried a shower bouquet of orchid; ami lilies-of-thc-valk-y.

Elsie Janis Only Woman on Stage At Lambs' Gambol Introduced as Guest of Honor and Was Presented Huge Bouquet; "Daly Dreams" One of Features Elsie Janis was the only woman-star who appeared on the stage at the Lambs' Gambol at the Manhattan Opera House last night. She was in? troduced to the audience as the guest of honor and was presented a h,uge bouquet of American Beauty roses. The performance began with an over< ture by the Lambs' own orchestra* con- j ducted by Charles A. Prince, after which the opening frivolity was a club sketch by George V. Hobart called "Tho Party of the First Part," with a cas', which was programmed, "charactens in tho order in which they came t o rehearsal," including Percy Wenric'n, Ray Raymond, Rapley Holmes, Hufrh Cameron, William Collier, Walter Gat lett, Hausford Wilson, Herbert C< irt hell, Robert Emmet Keane, Cap' ain Frank Tinney, Frank Bacon, WilJ iam Courtleigh, Walter Wilson, Ed F,\am mer, Neal McKay, John Hendr icks, William Roselle, Tom Walsh, Pri estly Marrison, W. G. Stewart, Ken ?pton Greene, Harry Tierney, Hal J 'ord,e, Frank Croxton, Frank Belcher , Jed Prouty, George Leon Moore, Jac'.i Wil lard, William Rilet Hatch, George Howard, Thomas Carrigan, Wil Ham J. Kelly, George E. Mack, Captain W. Harrigan, Herbert Rawlinson, John C. Slavin, Robert Hosea, Al Phillips and Henry Mortimer. Ed Wynn, Then "Daly Dreams" This was followed by a few cheerful and pleasant moments with that cham? pion benefit announcer, Ed 'Wynn, af? ter which came Hassard Sh?art's little gem called "Daly Dreams," for which Edward A. Paulton wrote the lyrics and Silvio Hein the music. The cast of this, which was made up Ir.rgely of "girls," included Irvine I'isher, Ray Raymond, Sam Ash, Eu?g?anc Revere, Robert Higgins, Clarence Nojxistrom, Effingham Pinto, Charles Ruggles, Charles King, Morgan Co:man, Vinton Freedley, Frederick S anfcley, Donald MacDonald and Joseph Santley, who looked as though he had. stepped out of "She's a Good Fellow" on to the Man? hattan stage. Following tho interraission a great reception was civen John Philip Sousa, who conducted two of his new com? positions, "The Golden Star" march and "Bullets and Bayorcts." William Collier's personal conti ibution t? > the gambol came next. It was "Nothing but Cuts," which was announced with "the following temperamental cast": Sam Hardy, George Marion, Edwin Mil? ton Royle, Edward Abeles, William Collier, Lyster Chambers, Morgan Co man, Rapley Holmes, Dodson Mitchell, Charles King, Effingham Pinto, Donald MacDonald, Charles Ruggles, Robert Higgins, Frank Otto, Vinton Freedley, Eugene Revere, Clarence 'Nordstrom and Arthur Blackmore, and "the merry chorus," composed of VLnto-'n Freedley, Arthur Blackmore, Kornptmn Greene, Clarence Nordstrom and Arthur Cush man. An interpolation was called "Jazz for Cinderella," bv Kenneth Webb and Roy Webb, staged and costumed by Hassard Short and directed hy Charles Prince. ' Cohan and Collier The joint appearance of George M. Cohan and William Collier, which fol? lowed, caused the greatest amusement and applause of the evening. Another excellent offering by Hassard Short and Silvio Hein, called "East Is West," j kept the fun going, with a cast in ': eluding George Nash, Ray Raymond, ' Frank Croxton, Clarence Nordstrom, ' Charles King, Eugono Revere, Vinton j Freedley, Donald Mac-Donald, Charles : Ruggles, Robert Ober, Effingham Pinto, Arthur Blackmore, Robert Higgins, Frank Otto, Kempton Greene, Morgan Coman, Arthur Cushman and Charles O'Connor. The concluding one-act classic was George M. Cohan's "The Farrell Case," which was admirably played by Paul Everton, Lynn Overman, Frederick Santley, Frank Thomas, Edward Earle, Joseph Allen, Emmett Corrigan, Sam Hardy, Effingham Pinto, Harry Leigh ton, Herbert Fortesque, Gerald Ver? de Ver? and Frank Westerton. The general stage directors were Ar? thur Hurley, Hassard Short, Frank Westerton and William G. Stewart, and the general musical directors werrj Sil? vio Hein, Charles Prince and' Roy Webb'. The souvenir programmes were sold by a committee of pretty "host eases" assembled by Miss Bijou Fer? nandez. All the theatrical and moving pic? ture stai's in this part of the country who did not take part in the perform? ance were in the audience. The re? ceipts were far in excess of $20,000. Although only one gambol had been planned for this year, it was an- | nounced at tho conclusion of the per- j formanco that a duplicate entertain- . ment would be given next Sunday night at the Hippodrome. France Lauds Robert Bacon PARIS, Juno 8.?The late Robert Bacop and tho late Colonel Carl Boyd, principal aide-de-camp to General Pershing, were cited in the "Journal Officiel" to-day. Mr. Bacon is declared to have been "an officer of high pro? fessional and moral worth," while as ambassador he "contributed powerfully to tighten the bonds of friendship be? tween the United States and France, and as an aide to the American com? mander in chief displayed untiring ac? tivity and qualities of organization which contributed at first to the form? ing of the American armies and then to their success." ' Miss Anna Mead Betrothed GREENWICH, Conn., June 8.?Mr. and Mrs. Nelson B. Mead, of Greenwich and Lake Waramaug, Now Preston, Conn., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Anna Rachel, to Lieu? tenant Kellogg Franklin, Royal Engi? neers, British Expeditionary Force. Lieutenant Franklin is the younger son of Professor William S. Franklin, pro? fessor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Mrs. Franklin, of Cambridge, Mas?. Ho was graduated from Yale in 1016, and now 1? with the British Railway Mission in Siberia, m On the Screen Years have, passed since we read Hall Caine's "J?he Woman Thou Gavest Me," but t'vn/i has not obliterated the impression,t which was that of extreme dreariness So the beautiful thing which wf,s presented at the Rivoli yes? terday was in the nature of a delight? ful su ?prise. For the first time, to us, the char? acters lived and breathed. It may not be liall Caine, but it is Beulah Marie . Dix, at her best, and if Hugh Ford, the |dii.?ector, selected the cast, then more P'jwer to him, for it was an exceedingly ? ;/ood cast. Katherine MacDonald is the woman, i Mary MacNcill, and it is the best J thing she ever has done. Miss Mac [ Donald is a flawless beauty. If she I has a fault it is that she lacKs anima? tion, but her poise and reserve are ex ? actly what she should bring to this I r?le, and Mary had little cause for re | joicing. I Personally, we find no lack in Miss MacDonald. We are quite content just to look at her. However, we do not wish to imply that she does not meet I the requirements of the part, for we i can hardly think of any one who would j have done it so simply and so ef? fectively. Jack Holt, another of our favorites, is cast for an unpleasant part, that of Lord Raa, hut Raa doesn't seem so cad? dish in the hands of Mr. Holt. He is a sinner, but a good-natured sinner who always acknowledges his guilt -.-ith su? preme self-possession. Theodore Roberts, as Daniel MacNeill, is the hard-headed old Scotchman to I the life. Somehow, Milton Sills did j not seem to fit so well in the character I of the explorer, Martin Conrad, nor did j Fritzi Brunette suggest to us the j woman for whom Lord Raa would risk ! his reputation anil his income. ? Mary is seen, when the picture opens, at the altar with Lord Raa. The key to the situation is given when the min? ister says "Mary, do you take this man I to be your husband?" Miss MacDonald ? does a remarkably clever bit of acting ' here which quite prepares you for what I is to foilow, in case you are not ; familiar with the story. We really could not see how she '. could have preferred -the man up in the frozen Nort.i to the attractive Lord . Raa, but so long as she did we do not blame her for her course of action. She told her new husband the truth '. and consented to be Lady Raa in name ; only, which must have been quite a ' blow to his vanity. So Raa resumed ' his affair with Alma Lier and he and I Mary soon separated ; It does not seem to us that there ? was a happy ending in the book, but ; there is one in the picture, at any i rate. Mary finally falls so low, financially of course, that she goes into the street to secure money to keep her child alive, and the first man she accosts is Mar | tin, saved by a miracle from death in I the ice of the North Sea. The next ' scene is an idyllic one, showing ; mamma, papa and son all by the side | of a beautiful lake, and we hope that i Conrad realized that a lake in the garden is worth a dozen at the North Pole and promised never to go there again. On the picture programme are the Rivoli Pictorial, a "Mutt and Jeff" car i toon in which Jeff gets all the. better ? of it, and a Mack Scnnctt comedy, i "No Mother to Guide Him." Tho over? ture is Flotow's "Martha," with Erno Rapec and Joseph Littau conducting, i Greek Evans sang "King of the Vi- j I kings Am I," all dressed up like a Vi- , iking and standing in front of a Viking j ?drop. It was a great success! There is hardly as much action in ? the picture at the Strand as is sug ! gested in the title "Upstairs and ! Down." Or if there is action it isn't ? the sort that gets you anywhere any j more than if it was one of those ma? chines which they use on the stage to show the finish of a horserace whore Cold Molasses lift3 the mortgage on the farm Not that there was any mortgage to bp lifted from anything in this pict ; uro! No indeed they were all ter \ ribly rich people who lived on Long ? Island and kept butlers and valets and | polo ponies. You'll be mildly amused J as you watch the picture, but after it ! is all over you'll probably sit back and ! say, "Yes? and??" Olive Thomas is the star, and we | suspected as soon as we saw her back . (which is the first thing you do see) that Olive was becoming plump. She appears first in her riding habit and later when she is seen in her bathing suit, we are sure of it. Miss Thomas is Alice Chesterton, and she has a sister, Betty, who also ap? pears in her bathing suit, and proves that plumpness is a family trait. There are some men in the story who either know how to make all women j love them or else desire to know, and i the advice of Terence O'Keefe is "treat ? 'em rough." It works upstairs, but j when the "gentleman's gentleman" tries | it on a maid downstairs she slaps his j face to teach him how to treat a lady, j "Upstairs and Down" is taken from a j play by the Hattons, and they always did believe that the. way to make a woman adore you was to twist her wrist or knock a glass of champagne out of her hand. This method was suc? cessfully employed in "The Walk-Offs." The male characters in the picture resemble each other so closely that we wonder how their wives and fianc?es kept thorn straight. They didn't al? ways, and that forms the plot. In the cast are Rosemary I'hoby, Mary Charleson, David Butler, Robert Ellis and Andrew Robson. Another picture which slows the ac? tion down to one-eighth tho normal is called "Ice Skating." It is an ex? tremely interesting analysis of motion. The comedy is "No Mother to Guide Ilim," which brought shouts of 'nugh ter from the spectators. There is a Chester outing scenic, "Wrangling Dudes," and the Strand Topical Re? view. The overture is Thomas's "Mignon," with Carl Edourdo conducting. Ethel Newton and Richard Bold sang "Up? stairs and. Down." Red ferne Hollinshead, the popular tenor, sang "In the Great Somewhere" and "Killarney." At the Rialto Douglas Fairbanks is seen in "Tho Knickerbocker Buckaroo," which played at the Rivoli a couple of weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew also aro seen in "Squared," the last comedy mndo by them. The picture is an amus? ing one, but through it all is bound Cud?ett>'* 14th Street, near Third Avenue to creep the knowledge that this is the farewell appearance of the beloved Henry Minor. There is the Rialto Magazine; also ; a Happy Hooligan cartoon. The over- j ture is "Orpheus in the Lower World." ! Rosa Lesea sings the mad scene from ; "Lucia di Lammermoor," with a flute obligato by Borodkin. The light opera number is called "The Evolution of ; Broadway," and is dedicated to George M. Cohan. At the Broadway Henry Warner is j seen in "The Man Who Turned White." "The Other Man's Wife" and a Syd | ney Chaplin eomedy are at the Park, i These will be reviewed to-morrow. , H. U. I Teachers' Union Protests Inquiry Into Smith's Act Objects to Official Scru? tiny of Private Views; Ettinger Insists on the Right to Review Case The Teachers' Union has addressed a letter of protest to the Board of Education on its decision to inquire into the conduct and statements of George J. Smith at the Walt Whitman anniversary dinner at the Brevoort Hotel. Mr. Smith, who is a member of the Board of Examiners, introduied George Sylvester Viereck as a speaker, al? though not on the programme, aiwtread a message from Emma Goldman. "The Teachers' Union regards the ac? tion of the board in deciding to con? duct an investigation into this case as another instance of its expressed pol? icy to make investigation into the con? duct, as citizens, of those ?mployes of the city over whom it has control," reads the protest. "The Teacher's Union maintains the proposition that such attempted con? trol over the private acts and views of the city employes is contrary to sound public policy and that it amounts to depriving American citizens of their rights to think, to speak and to act within the law. The Teachers' Union takes no stand as to the truth of the remarks attributed to Mr. Smith. If he was within his legal rights to make these remarks, it is unfair of the Board of Education to attempt ty> de? prive him of his freedom to utter them. If he was not within his legal rights to make these remarks tho prop? er authority to decide the question of legality is the United States govern? ment or the judiciary authority of the State of Mew York. "Tho Teachers' Union is gratified to note that in this latest case where the Board of Education makes inquiry into the Conduct or views of an employe it has departed from its customary pro? cedure of suspending without pay." Commenting on the protest, Dr. Will? iam L. Ettinger, superintendent of schools, said: "The Board of Education has a per? fect right to investigate the opinions of teachers and school officials. "Their expressed opinions after school hours have a distinct bearing on their pupils. Teachers cannot hold one set of opinions before 8 o'clock in tho afternoon and another set in tho evening. "The Teachers' Union cannot be fairly said to represent the teachers of Now York. There are about 22,000 teachers in the city, while the member? ship of the union does not exceed 500. "The protest will in no way deter the Board of Education from its duty in carrying the investigation to a finish and in taking action if the findings justify it." Plays and Players When "Somebody's Sweetheart," which is in its seventh month in New York, opens its summer engagement at the Casino Theatre to-night, all of the players will have been outfitted in spe? cial summer costumes, except Veronica, the dancer. Her costume will remain unchanged, because Mr. Hammerstein doesn't want to start anything. Apropos of the closing of "Some Time" at the Casino, Mr. Hammerstein says he did i not take this step because his prima ; donna was indisposed or because Ed ' Wynn wanted a vacation, but that the > show had spent its run on Broadway. Ada Lewis, the captivating widow in "Listen Lester," at the Knickrbocker Theatre, once upon a time, "fell into heaven." As Little Eva in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," she was scheduled, with the aid of the property man, to be wafted tow? ard her heavenly domicile at the end of the second act. But the wires that were and the powers that be didn't co? operate very well, and Little Eva suc? cumbed to the laws of gravitation after the first upward swoop of the uplift i apparatus. Sehvyn & Co. have placed Donald Brian and Wallace Eddinger under con ! tract to co-star in "Buddies," a new musical play by George V. Hbbart. Charles ?Dillingham has inaugurated ! a new system of promotion in his pro ; duction of "She's a Good Fellow," at the Globe Theatre. Each chorus girl will have the opportunity to play a small speaking part. "Dude" Harris, treasurer of the Ful ; ton Theatre and chief engineer of the ? train de luxe that will carry the fight fans to Toledo for the Willard-Demp : sey fracas, denies positively that he has i given Joe Le Blane half rate "ride the rods" privileges for the excursion. The Lew Fields company, which will ' open at the Shubert Theatre to-morrow ' night in "A Lonely Romeo," returned I to New York from Washington yester? day. "Take It From Me," formerly at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre, will play in the Central Theatre, starting to? night. George Hassell has been engaged for an important comedy r?le in "Bing, Bang, Boom," and when this play opens in New York it will mark Mr. Hassell's third appearance on Broadway this year. Oliver D. Bailey says that, contrary to all reports, he still holds an eight year lease on the Fulton Theatre. William Le Baron, author of "I Love You," is a graduate of New York Uni? versity, and that's the reason more than 100 members of the alumni of that col? lege will attend this evening's per? formance at the Forty-ei_*hth Street Theatre. Olive May has replaced Zelda Sears in "Tumble In." Miss Sears met with an accident while motoring, and will go to her country home for the sum ' mer.

He was attended by Monsignor James Flood, rector of St. John the Evangelist Church, and by Fathers Charles Woods and James Kilroe, as? sistants of St. James's. The Rev. Jo? seph Dineen, secretary to the Arch? bishop, was master of ceremonies. Monsignor Michael J. Lavelle, rector ? of St. Patrick's Cathedral, preached the sermon, reviewing the history of St. James's parish since its establishment in 1827.
