$500,000 Gift
To Legion From
Y.M.C.A. Profit
Association Tiirns Over
Remitted Transportation
Charges; Recommends a
Fund to Assist Disabled
Women to Share Benefit
'i ?
Money Expected To Be
Used in an Extensive
Americanization Crusade
The American Legion, it was made
known yeBterday, has received a gift
of $500,000 from the Young Men's
Christian Association, which has rec
ommended that the income from tho
fund be used for the benefit of men
disabled in the service of their coun?
try. The donation represents the profit
the Y. M. C. A. discovered it had made
on the operation of army canteens,
after the American and French govern?
ments remitted the transportation
charges on canteen supplies.
The source of the sum is revealed
by the explanation that upon the ex
pressed desire of General John J. Per?
shing in 1917, the National War Work
Council of the Y. M. C. A. undertook
the operation of the post exchangesf
or canteens, as they were more com
monly known by the doughboys, in
France in connection with its other
work for the American Expeditionary
Force. This was requested by General
Pershing, it was explained, so that of?
ficers and enlisted men might not be
taken away for that purpose from their
paramount military functions of train?
ing and fighting.
Loss Changed to Profits
Up to the time this work was taken
back by the army, on April 1, 1919, the
total volume of business tranaacted by
tho canteens through the Y. M. C. A
was $37,800,000. It was the purposo of
the association, it was explained yes?
terday, from the outset not to make a
profit on goods sold to the soldiers, but,
on the contrary, to assume whatever
loss might be incurred.
On March 31, 1919, the loss appeared
to bo $1,478,084, and was charged on
the association's books to the cost of
operating the canteens. But recently
the Y. M. C. A. received word that tho
charges for transportation of canteen
supplies had been remitted by the
Amorican and French governments, so
that the association had a surplus of
more than $500,000 above the cost of
conducting the canteens.
It was then, according to officials of
the New York branch of the Legion,
that the executivc and finance commit?
tee officers of the Young Men's Chris?
tian Association wrote to the American
Legion characterizing that body as
"the organization which is mostwidely
and intimately in touch with and repre?
sentative of the ex-service men, and in
our judgment best qualified to make tho
best use of any such funds in their in?
terests," and offered to turn over the
$500,000 surplus from tho canteens to
the American Legion "without restric
tion as to its use."
Money To Be neld in Trust
The money will be held as a trust
fund, it was said yesterday, for five
years by a trust company acting as a
trustee under a deed of trust providing
that the trustee shall "hold, invest
and reinvest the principal sum, paying
only the income therefrom to the
American Legion, dis-position of the in?
come to be subject to tne authoritv
of the national executive committee ot
the American Legion."

Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
Mrs. Reddy Brings Startling News
Never think you know so much that
You have nothing more to learn.
Some folks never fear the fire
'Till, alas, they feel. it burn.
Out of the Black Shadows, directly
ln front of Reddy Fox as he lay bc
side the old tree-trunk watching for
Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter to come
out, stepped Mrs. Reddy, and Reddy
knew instantly that something was
wrong.
In the first place, Mrs. Reddy had
made no effort to approach noiselessly.
In the second place, her yellow eyes
had a look in them that gave Reddy an
uncomfortablo feeling. "Well," said
she sharply, "have you had a pleasant
nap?"
Reddy looked puzzled. "What do
you mean?" he demanded. "I haven't
closed my eyes for a second since you
left me."
"Huh!" retored Mrs. Reddy. "A great
watcnman you are! If you haven't been
i How could they, when he hadn't once
taken his eyes from the end of that
I hollow tree-trunk? Not even Danny
, Mcadow Mouse, small as hc is, could
l have slipped out unseen.
"I don't know whom you saw over in
j the Old Briar-patch, but it simply
i couldn't have been Peter and Mrs.
j Peter," said Reddy. "That is, it could
| not have been unless they got out while
| you were keeping watch some time dur
; ing the day. If you think they got
! out while I have been here just find
j their tracks."
Mrs. Reddy was so sure that she
! could prove Reddy's carelessness that
! sho, took him at his word and marchcd
j straight over to the end of the hollow
I tree. She knew that Peter and Mrs.
I Peter'could not have left without leav
asleep will you tell me how Peter Rab?
bit and Mrs. Peter got out of this j
hollow tree-trunk without being seen
by you?"
It was Reddy's turn to become cross. j
"Who says they got out of this tree- j
trunk? Who says so? If they did,!
it was while you were on guard and
not while I've been here. As a matter
of fact, I don't believe they have j
etirred. If you ask me, they are right j
inside this tree-trunk this very minute. '
Who says they are not?"
"I do," retorted Mrs. Reddy. "I say i
they are not. They can't be inside j
this tree-trunk and over in the Old I
Briar-patch at the same time, and I saw j
them there with my own eyes when I
came down from the Old Pasture on my I
way over here. Now will you tell me !
that you haven't been asleep?"
For a minute Reddy couldn't find
his tongue. He was too surprised for
speech. He knew that there wasn't
the least donbt in the world that Mrs.
Reddy thought she had seen Peter Rab?
bit and Mrs. Peter over in the dear
Old Briar-patch. Bnt they couldn't be
there! They rimply couldn't be there!
ing behind them some faint scent, and
= he fully expected to lind it at once.
But though she examined every ineh
of the snow-covered ground all about
the end of the hollow trunk, she
couldn't find the tiniest whiff of scent.
She went back and thru3t her head in
at the opening of the hollow tree
trunk and snilfed and sniffed. There
was Rabbit Bmell in there, but it wa3
old. It was not the fresh scent that
would be there were Peter Rabbit and
Mrs. Peter hiding in there. Mrs. Reddy
withdrew her head and stared very
hard at Reddy Fox. "I wish you'd tell
me what it all means," she said. "Those
Rabbits are not in here now. They are
over in the Old Briar-patch, for I saw
them there with my own eyes. Now
wlvon ilid they get out and how did
they get out and what doea it all
mean?"
Reddy slowly shook his head, "It's
too much for me," said he. "It's a
mystery. It certainly is a mystery."

Hadley Conducts
Own"Othello"as
Part'of Concert
Overture Fails to Recail
Latter-Day Prodtictions of
Gomposer*; Philadelphia
Orchestra Heard Again
i . ?
By H. E. Krehbiel
A genleman associated with the mu?
sical interests of the city many years
ago, and for a long time, recently
wrote a letter to the iriusic reviewer of
The Tribune asking why the conductors
of the local and visiting orchestras so
often duplicated features of each
other's programs. Was it for the pur?
pose of inviting comparative comment?
Thia was apropos of the fact that the
Symphony in C minor by, Brahms was
set down for performance this week by
tho Philadelphia Orchestra and the
Philharmonic Society. He might have
added that Mr. Bodanzky chose it to
introduce himself as a symphonic con
ductor at the second concert of the
New Symphony Society last season, and
that Mr. 'Walter Damrosch has fea
tured it since.
The only reply that could be made
was that the symphonic Hterature, or
at least that which is familiar to con?
ductors and deemed practicable by
them, is limited in comparison with
the number of concerts given and thafll
possibly also the thought of rivalry
was sometimes in the minds of the
conductors, for it is becoming more
and more obvious that it is not a
musical but a personal cult which is
at the bottom of the plethora of or
chestral concerts which are maintained
less by tho public than by wealthy
patrons of the different orchestras. I
Inasmuch as under such circumstances I
little good would be accomplished by
discussing the different readings of a I
symphony by the various conductors, I
Flonzaley Quartet Gives
Concert at Aeolian Hall!
Schumann's E^Flat Major Quin
tet Given an Inspired
Performance
The hold the Flonzaley Quartet has
obtained on our musical public was
amply evidenced fast night at Aeolian
Hall when an audience which was Hm- !
ited only to the capacity of the audi- ':
torium was held. tense with interest. :
And the Flonzaleys have earned their
popularity. They have ever been faith- |
ful to what is highest in musical art,(
and their concerts have been both rich '
in content and most admirably given. I
Last night's concert was no exception *
to this rule.
There were three numbers on the
program, in one of which, the Schu
mann E flat major quintet, Harold !
Bauer appeared as assisting artist. :
This eomposition, one of the most ex
quisite of all worka of chamber music,
was given a truly inspired perform?
ance, and was pernaps the high water
mark of the evening. Mr. Bauer sus
tained his part with all the authority
and musicianship for which he has
been famous, and tho ensemble work
of all the musicians was thrice admir
ab!e. The audience waxed so enthusi
astic over this number that it found
the repetition oi the last movement, a '.
somewhat unusual proceeding in the '<
dignified history of chamber music!
The other two numbers were two move
ments from an uninspired Sonata of
Emanuel Moor and the Beethoven G
major Quartet, Op. 18, No. 2.

since the personal equation could not
be avoided and the relative material
of the different band* would also have
to be drawn into the study, and there
is besides a different audience for each
band the reviewera seem to be of Dog
berry's opinion that "comparisons are
odious" and have contented them?
selves with making' a record of the
fact af performance. It is thus that
harmony can be preserved among the
listening class at -least.
The Philadelphia orchestra at its
fifth concert in Carnegie Hall last
night played three numbers of the
incidental music, composed by Schubert
for Madame von Chezy's "Rosamunde"
and an overture entitled "Othello" ' y
Mr. Henry Hadley before the Brahms
symphony. Preciosity marked the
Shubert music, under the direction of
Mr. Stokowski, especially in the b?
tween-acts piece and the second bit of
ballet music, which were robbed of
much of their character by the languid
tempo of the former and the suppres
sion of all merriment and joyoumess in
the latter. Languishing pianissimos and
piquant rrecision could not compensate
for the loss of the Schubertian spirit.
Mr. Hadley conducted his overture.
It did not sound like a latter day
product of the composer except in its
paucity of pregnant ideas. Its dra-1
matic plan seemed obvious enough?the
gloomy jealousy of Othello, the gentle
ness of Desdemona, had expression as
conceived by the composer, we fancy,
in the principal and second themes anu
the conflict of the characters in the
development. There was a theatrical
chmax in which Desdemona's dying
words were heard, solo, and then a
coda of the sublimated order, an
apotheosis, perhaps the musical equiv
alent of the last words of the Moor,
who, we believe, saw no wav out of the
difficulty in which he had, been en
meshed except to kiss her again whom
he had killed and die upon a kiss.
Perhaps the music was Shakesperian:
we do not know. If Bo, however, we feel
inchned to quote as applicable to the
work the comment attributed to a
professor of composition at the Munich
Hochschule when a pupil brought him
an alleged Shakesperian overture for
correction: "I would suggest a better
title: 'Much Ado About Nothing.'"

New Nine o'Clock j
Frolic Has All
The Usual Graces
Lavish Display for the Eye
in Mr. Ziegfeld's Show on
New Amstertjam Roof,
but the Ear Fares Worse
By Heywood Broun
In one of the lyrics of Mr. Zieg
feld's new "Nine o'Clock Revne" on the
roof of the New Amsterdam Theater,
the sujrgestion is made that the oper.s
would be more interesting than at
present if the principal roles wer >
taken by girls from "The Frolic." Wo
are not so sure. We rather wish that
Mr. Ziegfeld would reverse the theory
and trade some twenty or thirty of
his fairest show girls for one singer.
As usual, the new show is brave aml
fine in performance and sets and cos
tumes. No expense has been spareil
in pleasing the eye, but not much is
done for the ear. It is perhaps not to
be expected that some of the ever so
fair members of the Ziegfeld company
should also be able to sing, but the
question naturally arise's why do they
try? It is not the absence of voice
of which one is inclined to complain
but their presence.
To be sure, there has never been
any crying demand that Mr. Ziegfe! i
should include vocal art among the
other things which he does so well,
but it seems to us a curious lack. The
midnight shows are in every other re?
spect, perhaps, the best thing of their
kind in the world. For all the fact
that they are designed as frivolous
cntertainment they are bv no mean*
trash. Mr. Ziegfeld, through his co
operation with Joseph Urban. has don ?
ss much for scenic art as any man in
America. He has revolution'ized th -
standard and taste of costumir." m
musical shows by presenting frocks
which are beautiful as well as rich av I
lavish. Nor are we inclined to d:3re
(jard the talent which ia shown in the
selection of principals and choru <
girls who are themselves not devoid
of acstheric attraction. Perhaps we
are asking for a perfection which i i
not of this world, but in the case of
the arts three joined together may be
much better companv than two. "Th ?
interest in color and in form would be
in 110 way diminished if Mr. Ziegfeni
would also make some advances in the
provision of proper and pleasir.
pounds, Of course, we have ln min '
the fact that Miss Lillian Lorraino
seng most of the songs last night.
Miss Fannie Brice was the onh
truly pleasing singer, but here the ap?
peal ia to the sense of humor. Hrr
hur.ting aong is among the best thing;
which she has done and is a marve:
of mventive clowning. William C
Fields is as funny as ever in his
satiric juggling scenes and there
might well have been more of the
graceful and amusing dancing 0f Miss
Mary Hay, perhaps the fairest of th.
frolicers. ?
