Soldiers, China
And Holy Lands
Seen on Canvas
Portraits of U. S. Troops,
Made at Front, and Paint?
ings of Orient Attract
at Touchstone Galleries
There are two attractions in the
current exhibition at the Touchstone
Galleries. In the front gallery are
portraits of one hundred American sol?
diers by J. C. Chase; in the back room
hung paintings of the Holy Land and
China by Harriett McCurdy.
Mr. Chase traveled all over the
American front and went with the
American army of occupation into Ger?
many. Sometimes his studio was a
ch?teau, sometimes a dugout, some?
times a shack in th>? devastated dis?
trict, sometimes a castle on the Rhine.
Many of the portraits were painted by I
candle light. Each was made in two j
hours or less. Almost all ranks are j
represented in these portraits. The
celebrities include General Pershing,
Lieutenant General Liggett, Marshal
Foch, Major General John F. O'Ryan,
Major General Clarence R. Edwards,
Sergeant York and others. In addition I
,-e are other portraits of a less ?
warlike nature. These include Frank I
c n in "i ?ghtnin'," Dr. John H.
! ?nicy. Samuel Gompers, His Excel
eney Count Ishii. H13 Excellency J. J.
.?tisserand. Samuel Merwin and others
of like prominence.
Miss McCurdy. painter of scenes in !
the Holy Land and China, is a mis- I
nonary, who has\sttulied her subjects !
at first hand for many years. She has \
confined herself chiefly to landscapes |
and avoided types. The pictures of j
Chinese bathing beaches are particu- ?
lariy appealing.
St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwcrie is fol- !
lowing the example of the Church of j
the Ascension and is holding an art ex- :
: ibition in its hall. The paintings are ;
y Alexander Brock, Richard F. Lahey, |
H. E. Schnakenberg and William S?nger.
Mr. S?ngers paintings were recently
exhibited at the Touchstone Galleries.
There is an exhibition in the Pen
and Brush Club, at 134 East Nineteenth
Street. Ida Stone's "Kearsarge Moun- j
.or.'1 holds the center of interest, with j
Georgia Hinkin Fry's "Autumn Foliage"*!

Susan Bicker Kr.ox shows some clever i

S. Phillips sehds scenes from France
and Bavaria; Kate Williams "A Moun?

splendid exhibits, also, by Charlotte
8. Cernes. Anna G. Price, Caroline and
Joseph. Pitkin, Loma Tyle Reid and
If. B. Tallman. Ethel Evans shows
"Two Boats," a picture which is at?
tracting unusual attention. Other ex?

R. Rudd and Mrs. Drittler.
The library of the ?ate Theodore Low
De Vinne went on exhibition at the
Anderson Galleries yesterday. The
books will remain en view until Mon?
day, when they will be sold by auction
according to the printed catalogue. Mr.
De Vinne, master printer, used his
library constantly in the preparation
o? his books as well as to study his?
toric types, etc.. with the purpose of !
improving American printing. He was
a great admirer of the early Venetian
printers and bad many examples from
their presses. In his "Historic Print?
ing Type?," 1886; "Title Pages as Seen
by a Printer." 1901, and above all in
"Notable Printers of Italy During the
Fifteenth Century," 1910, he repro
?Ked specimens from his own collec
'''?'? ill the facsimiles

?opies now offered for saie. In addi?
tion to the many valuable examples
from fifteenth century presses, the
library contains a very large collec?
tion of reference books on early
typography. Taken as a whole, it is
the finest library on the history of
printing which baa ever been offered

'Blue Bird' Music
Improves With Its
Second Hearing
Maeterlinck - Wolf Opera
Given First Performance
on Subscription Series
at the Metropolitan
"The Blue Bird" received its first
performance in the regular subscription
series last night at the Metropolitan,
and a typical Monday night audience
sat in its usual placidity, applauded
in its usual gentle manner, and gen?
erally appeared"to enjoy itself accord?
ing to the time-honored custom of
Monday night. For the success of the
Wolff-Maeterlinck opera Mr. Gatti
Casazza has poured out his resources
with magnificent generosity. As a
spectacle "The Blue Bird" is one of
the triumphs of the art of the scene
painter, the designer and the stage
director. For this we have to thank
Boris Anisfeld and Richard Ordynski,
while Mr.^ Wolff himself directed the
orchestra in the manner to be expected
from a man who' is both an admirable
conductor and the composer of the
music.
The music itself is graceful and
pleasing, it is* well made, it never in?
trudes nor halts the action, and it im?
proves upon a second hearing. In at?
tempting to set to music the Maeter?
linck libretto, Mr. Wolff took upon
himself a herculean task. The libretto
depends for its appeal not upon action ;
nor simple emotion, but upon its phi-?
losophy, spoken or symbolic. In short,1
it is an appeal which is intellectual
rather than emotional or sensuous, and i
Mr. Wolff, realizing this, chose musical
declamation as the means to project i
Maeterlinck's ideas. Such a method is
unfortunate in that it does away with
song, and only in the last act is Mr.
Wolff able to break into lyric expres?
sion. This single opportunity, however,
proves that he can write for the voice
and leaves the regret that he had not
j chosen a subject more suitable for
operatic investiture.
The. performance is, on the whole,
S excellent. Mme. Dclanois and Miss
i Ellis as the children; Miss Easton, Mr.
Ananian, Mme. Berat, Mr. Rothior,
'Miss Gordon. Miss Romaine and Mr.
Couzinou, all are worthy of praise.
Hambourg Trio Heard
In Afternoon Recital
?Musicians, Newly Organized,
Give Performance at
Aeolian Hall
i A new organization, the Ham
i bourg Trio, of which the violinist
j is Jan Hambourg, the 'cellist Boris
I Hambourg, and the pianist Alberto
j Garcia Guerrero, gave a recital yester
I day afternoon at Aeolian Hall. It is
i to be regretted that the violinists' feel
! ing for the correct pitch should not
l have been more perfect, for the re
? sultant effort nt times was most un
; fortunate.
Of the three musicians Mr. Guerrero
1 and Mr. Boris Hambourg were the most
? satisfying. Mr. Guerrero is a pianist
? of no mean powers, and his sense of
rhythm was especially incisive, while
? Mr. Boris Ha'mbourg's tone was warm
and he was generally correct in his
pitch. The three musicians showed evi?
dence of careful work together and
played with vigor and sincerity, but
it would be too much to state that
the Trio is as yet one of the first
order. ,
Of the three numbers, one, a trio
I by Joseph Jongen,. was a novelty in
i New York. Mr. Jongen is a Belgian,
v^ho now lives in Brussels, and the
, Trio, which ?3 numbered opus 30, is
one of two he has composed. It is not
a work of any originality or any real
i character, though it has a certain
rhythmic interest. It is improbable
that it will be heard often in the
i future. The other two number? were
Sylvia Lazzari's Sonata, op. 24, for
violin and piano, and the Beethoven
' Trio, op. 70, in I) major.

By Heywood Broun
"The Purple Mask" is a romantic
melodrama of frills and thrills. Math
eson Lang's play of the period of
Bonaparte proves that royaliats, for all
their air3 and graces, may provide as
exciting an evening in the theater as
cracksmen or detectives. In fact, "The
Purple Mask" seems to us at least two
or three times as stirring as any of
the crook plays or murder mysteries
which have passed this way in several
seasons.
We feel a little uncertain about stat?
ing things in terms of twice or thrice
because the secret formula by which
one royalist identified another con?
sisted of the question "Have you any
white flags?" and the somewhat ir?
relevant answer "Three times six is
seventeen." That sounded incorrect
to us, and at the jjnd of the second act
we asked the man in the box office,
and he agreed that a mistake had
been made. We wondered why the
playwright had made his royalists
blunder in this way, and then suddenly
the symbolic meaning of it all came
to us. Yes, for those who are far
seeing enough to search for a mean?
ing, even in a melodrama, "Three times
six is seventeen" should be very il?
luminating. After all, why is it "that
royalists throughout the world are
dying out? Simply and solely because
they can't, multiply.
However, they fought a winning fight
last night in spite of the genius of
Brlsquet, special agent of the prefect
of police. This Bonapartist agput Had
hi? temporary triumphs, to be sure,
but in the long run he was no match
for the Chevalier of the Purple Mask.
A? Brisquct, Brandon Tynan gave an
extraordinary performance. He man
aged to deceive a first night auditrice
in performing a trick which would ;
seem to be all but impossible. Natur- '
ally, we may not reveal the nature
of this strategem but it was carried
cut so skilfully that everybody was ;
fooled much to his or hot- dettght.
Leo Ditrichstein's r?le is easy for j
him. It requires no more than a;
touch of his well known authority and
distinction, but though it is easy no
one should lose sight, of the fact*that
it is also expert. Mr. Ditrichstein's
nonchalance and grace were highly di?
verting and helped to make the various
surprises come all the more unexpect?
edly.
The play is as full of sudden twists
and turns as a subway express during
a rush hour. It suffers a little from
the fact that the surprises o!' the sec?
ond and third acts are rather more in?
genious than those of the fourth and
fifth, but there is enough excitement to
carry through the evening.
In addition to the performances of
Mr. Ditrichstein and Mr. Tynan there
was good work by Lilly Cahill and
Stephen Wright. The play deserves the
attention of all those who like stirring
melodrama withia dash of merriment
thrown in for good measure.
At the Palace
The bill at the Palace this week
abounds in excellent clowning. First
of all then; is the headliner,
Crock, with his delicate and
seemingly casual grotesqueries. Then
there is Leon Errol, whose appeal to
the humorous sensibilities is a little
broader and more premeditated, but
full and decidedly diverting, tvnd lastly,
the humor of sheer speed, as exempli?
fied by George Rockwell and Al Pox.
A comedian in vaudeville need not have
any better jokes than'"call but the pre?
serves" and "enter the holy bonds of
macaroni," if only he can keep the
tempo high enough. We should be
ashamed to recognize almost any one
of the quips employed by this pair if
we met it in broad daylight, but while
the infectious influence of the rapid
patter gripped us wo thought we had
seldom if over heard more diverting
witticisms.
Cleveland Bronner's symbolic spec?
tacle called "One Day" is pretty ter?
rible. It contains less Maeterlinck
than usual and more cheesecloth.
? ?? ?
"The Acquittal" Scores;
?s a Good Melodrama
Rita Weiman's first play, "The Ac?
quittal," prescnt'd at the Cohan &
Harris theater last night after a long
run in Chicago, is good melodrama.
The action begins, as the title indi?
cates, after the trial is over, and cen?
ters about the case of a man who has
committed a murder but is found in?
nocent of the crime. The murder's wife
know? he is guilty, but nevertheless
helps to free him, mostly for the rea?
son, it would appear from the plot, so
she ultimately can tell him how much
she despises him for having carried
on a secret love affair with the secre?
tary of the man he had slain.
A newspaper reporter, acted by Will?
iam Marrigiin as his first r?le after re?
turning from the war, brings the mur?
derer to book, although not exactly in
the way the audience seemed to expect.
Harrigan made an excellent reporter,
and would, if he displayed the same
qualities, be a joy to any editor in real
life; but, along with other stage typeB,

"Always You" is a musical show that
adheres for the most part to the tradi?
tional and conventional models upon
which entertainments of its kind are
often constructed. This might be re?
grettable were it not for the fact that
where itdiverges from accepted stand?
ards it only becomes the more com?
monplace.
Oscar Hammerstein 2d wrote the
book and lyrics, Herbert P. Stothart
the music and Arthur Hammerstein
produced the combination last night at j
the Central Theater. Of the three |
gentlemen, Mr. Stothart is the only one !
deserving of any congratulations, for j
one or two of his songs are tuneful, I
notably the one from which the show |
takes its name.
This, fortunately for any one who j
cures to hear it is the first number
of the piece.
The plot, what there is of it, is noth- j
ing to boast of. The funmaking was
left to Ralph Herz. Russell Mack and ?
Julia Kelety, chiefly. They did their j
best, but were provided with a dis- j
tinctly obsolete laugh-producing arma-i
ment. Among the relics of a dim past
that were tossed across the footlights !
to the audience were: "So this is
Paris! Then these must be parisites!"i
and "I got it where Susie got her
beads." People laughed at them, prob?
ably in a welcome-home spirit.
Helen Ford was an attractive heroine
and sang well, and Walter Scanlan was
the falsetto-tenor hero.
Cortez and Peggy did some graceful
dancing during the piece, whenever the
action crawled off somewhere to take a
nap. The chorus was shapely and pret?
ty, and the scenery, designed and paint?
ed by Julius Dove, was lavish. This,
however, is the most laudatory thing
that can be said for the production.
"Iolanthe" Well Sung
By American Company
Performance at Park Theater
One of the Most Elab?
orate of the Series
"Iolanthe," the fairy opera of the
Gilbert and Sullivan series, was given
by the Society of American Singers at
the Park Theater last evening. It is
crowded with good things. In certain
ways it suggests "Oberon," but Sulli?
van's fairy music has a grace and dis?
tinction all its own. The whole opera
shows composer and librettist at their
best. There are delightful pastoral in?
terludes, rousing concerted numbers,
and irresistibly comic patter songs by
the Lord Chancellor and the peers,
while the parliamentary satire is as
timely as on the day when it first was
inspired. There, are evidences, too,
thut Sullivan devoted more time and
thought to the orchestration of this
work than to almost any of his other
operas.
The production is one of the most
elaborate undertaken by this company
as regards settings and costumes, and
in both respects the management has
been successful. William Danforth's
Lord Chnncellor was probably the tru?
est to Gilbertian traditions of all the
characters on the stage. Mr. Peacock
and Mr. Brainard as the two rival earls
gave a good account of themselves.
Sarah Edwards, resplendent in the gew?
gaws of the fairy queen, was inclined
to chant her lines a little too much in
her opening scene, but she improved as
the evening progressed.
Gladys Caldwell, as Phyllis, was en?
chanting to the eye, and gave an alto?
gether satisfactory performance of the
famous ward in chancery. Mr. Watcr
ous, who as Private Willis did not ap?
pear until the second act, filled the
theater with his generous voice. Miss
Tracy's Iolanthe was in her best and
most reliable manner.
The chorus of fairies behaved rather
better than the assembled peers. In
the first place they were generally in?
telligible. Then, these fairies were
sure of their business. The peers, on
the other hand, were not always unani?
mous in their choice of gestures and
direction. They also were inclined to
sing too fast nnd to mumble their
words. These defects, however, are
easily remedied and as the week goes
on practice no doubt will tend to lead
toward perfection.

Music Society Gives
Its Second Concert
Trio Number Most Pleasing on
Evening Program at
Aeolian Hall
The program of the second subscrip?
tion concert of the New York Chamber
Music Society, which was given last
night in Aeolian Hall, made a quick
transition from the classic clarity of
Mozart to the more obscure and a'
mospheric utterances of present day
| writers of music.
The Mozart was a quintet in A for
| string quartet and clarionet. Of what
I followed, the most ambitious and, on
j the whole, most satisfying number wa*
j a trio for piano, violin and viola, by
! Joseph Jungen, it gave full scope to
! the abilities of the three performer*.
i especially the warm tone of Mr. Lif
? schey and Miss Beebe's skill and com
mendable restraint in ensemble play
ing. The first two movements wcro
skillfully written and rich in emotional
quality; the last a rather overlong
j elaboration of themes of minor worth.
j There followed a quintet ftjr wood?
winds and French horn, by Leo Sower
by, and a Scherzo Caprice, by Daniel
! Gregory Mason, in which all the play?
ers participated.
