Two Singers in Season's Debut at Metropolitan Hip?lito L?zaro and Miss So? phie Breslau Appear in "R^-oletto,, Two singers made their first appear? ance this season at the Metropolitan Opera House last night in "Rigolelto." They were Hip?lito L?zaro, m the part of the Duke, and Miss Sophie Braslau, as Maddalena. Were Mr. L?zaro en? dowed by art as copious.y as he has been endowed by nature he would be one of the* great lyric singers cf operrtic history. His voice, in range, warmth and brilliancy, is extraordi? nary. There were time- last night, just as there havo been times when? ever he has appeared, when the audi? ence mi^ht. have believed that a great tenor was making hie d?but, but, alas, they were only times. Verdi's Duke had brains and he used them in his singing. Miss Braslau's return was welcome. Her non-appearance at the Metropoli? tan had been inexplicable. Miss Bres? lau possesses one of tho few true con? tralto voices now in existence, and the Metropo ?tan is not so rich in these artists that it can afford to neglect those it has, Beside.1?. Miss Braslau is an American. The rest of the curt was as before, with Mine. Barrlentos an Giidt, Mr. De Lucy, as Rigoletto, Mr. Mardonea as Sjjarafucilt*, Mr. D'Af?gelo as Montcrone, and Mr. Moranzoni m the conductor's stand. Miss Van Dresser Gives Recital at Aeolian Hall Miss Marcia Van Dresser is no stranger to New York's musical world, though her appearances in song recital have not in recent seasons been fre? quent. That her absence has not. dimin? ished her following was, however, evident at her recital at- Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon. The hall was nearly filled and the audience was un? usually warm in its expression cf enthusiasm. Miss Van Dresser was in admirable voice?indeed, in better voice than she has been in several years. Aside from a slight sense of wear in her upper register, evident in forte passages, her tones were warm, full and resonant. Her program was somewhat unusual. There were two groups devoted to the songs of Erich Wolf and Cnrico Bossi. and in these she was at her best. The songs of Bossi were unusually effective, and three of them, "O Dolce N'atti," "Simlitudine" and "Canto d'Aprile," are worthy of a place on any concert program. Miss Van Dresser was admirable also in her French group and notably in the ol^) French "C'est mon Ami" and in Gounod's "Le Rossignol." Recital by Miss Helen T. Tas Makes Pleasing Impression Miss Helen Teschner Tas, who made a pleasant impression at her first violin recital last Januarv, gave a sec? ond concert at Aoolian Hall last even? ing. Her program, attractively ar? ranged, included Nardini's Concerto in E minor, two romances by Beetho? ven, Lalo's Symphonie Espagnole Tschaikowsky's Melodie and Gold mark's Witches' Sabbath. She again displayed a warm tone, considerable technical ability and appreciation o? the more delicate nuances of color Miss Tas makes no attempt to impart exaggerated virility to her playing, and in its femininity lies much of it? charm.

March 29.?August John, the British painter who has been con? sidered tco "freakish" for admittance among the celebrities, is to be. elected a member of the Royal Academy, accord? ing to report, which adds that Mr. John . will accept the honor.

Ingenious Second Act of New Melodrama at the Bijou Affords Abundance of Theatrical Thrills THE CAST Jules .George Dannenbortr Richard Annixter.Stewart E. Wilson Winifred Annixter.Regina Wallace Kitty Kemp .Ruth Hammond Barney McCar? ,.Crane Wilbur Norman Kemp .George Gaul Henry Annixter .William Ingersoll Rupe Gurney .Edward Ellis Gabriel Mogador .Howard I.ung Bartlett .John Wray By Heywood Broun The most Important fact which should be recorded about Crane Wil? bur's new melodrama, "The Ouija Board," which was produced at the Bijou Theater last night, is that tho author has devised a hair-raising sec? ond act. It makes no difference that the Incidents of which it is composed havo no relation to life or probability. To say that it is merely founded on a good trick does not do away with the fact that it is interesting and, more than that, thrilling. Of course, the idea of the charlatan who suddenly finds himself in the grip of forces which he does not un? derstand and cannot control has been used many times in the growing school of psychic melodrama, but Mr. Wilbur has introduced a variation. In the first place, his E-nnifcBtations from the other world are introduced in the lorm of automatic writing, which is a new de? vice in the theater, and then he has had the engenuity to construct a sit? uation in which tho trickster exposes himself to death and destruction by writing something which he never meant to tell. There are other tricks besides those which animate the second act, and some of them are ingenious and in? teresting, but the play should succeed, and deserves to succeed, on tho fine tingle which belongs to a single scene. The play is not one to be analyzed or discussed at drama league meetings. It can hardly stand such treatment, but for all that it provides excellent theatrical entertainment. Nor is it fair to say that the interest of the evening lies wholly in the tricks. Much of the acting is excellent, and the per? formance of Howard Lang as the spiri? tualistic faker is a performance of ex? ceptional ability. To be sure, there are too many tricks. The things which come out of the bot? tom of a high hat never seem so ex? citing as the first pair of white rabbit? which come from the ir>p. and the third s?ance which Mr. Wilbur works into his play is by no means as thrill? ing as the first two. But for all that Crane Wilbur seems to be a distinct addition to the ranks of melodraina nts. He has no great knack at dialogue, but it is good enough to serve. His humor is never subtle, but neither is it painful, and though he has no easy access to the human mind or heart he can. do without it just so long as he is able to make surprising and ingenious thinps crowd upon the attention, "The Ouija Board" seems to us easily the boat psvehie melo? drama since "The Thirteenth Chair." The author appears in the play, but in a role* of no great importance. We doubt whether he \a as talented in performance as in composition. We are not even certain that he could act at all if he should ever have tho misfortune to lose any considerable portion of h'to eyebrows. Tho biegest burden of the play rests upon Howard Bedtime Stories By Thornton W. Burgess Johnny Chuck Brings Polly to Their New Home Don't fret cr scold until you know That something is or isn't so. Polly Chuck sat on the doorstep of( her old home in the far corner of the I Old Orchard. Polly was anxious. She 1 was unxious and discontented and i cross. She vas anxloug because! Johnny Chuck had been gone for two ? whole days and she didn't know what had become of him. She didn't know' whether he had gone off and left her! because he was tired of her, or whether I something dreadful had happened toi him. She was discontented for the same reason that Johnny himself had j been discontented; she wanted a new , home. Polly was thin. She was just as thin i as Johnny. When she had awakened she had been fat, but like Johnny, she j had lost all the fat because there had \ been so little to eat. "1 wish I could : know what has become of Johnny," "It's in the loveliest place, right on the edge of Farmer Brown's cornfield," continued Johnny. "I've dug the nicest long hallway and made the nicest bed? room at the end of it all ready for you. Now I've come to take you down there." "Well, you're not going to take me down there," retorted Polly Chuck. But Johnny Chuck was not to be put off so easily. He told all about that new home and what a safe and won? derful place it was and then he pleaded eo hard that Polly couldn't re? fuse to go down and just look at it. She said that that was all she would do. She would look at it, but sne knew that it wouldn't suit her at all. But Johnny Chuck felt sure that if she would just go with him to look at it ?die would he as pleased with it as he was, and though Polly scolded him all "Where have you been?" she demanded thought Polly. "He had no business to go off and leave me this way. If Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote has caught him, it serves him right. It certainly serves him right. But, oh dear, what? ever will I do without nim!" Just then she heard a little rustle back of her. She whirled about, ready ? to dive down into her home in case of : danger. But what she saw was Johnny Chuck himself just coming over tho old stone wall. Polly didn't give Johnny a , chance to open his mouth. Her tongue ; fairly flew. "Where have you been?" she demanded. "What do you mean by ! going off and leaving me to worry like I this? You ought to tie ashamed of ! yourself. Here I've been worrying my ! self sick while you've been off having j a good time." And so she rattled on ! and on, At last Johnny found a chance to \ say meekly, "Polly, my dear, I've been | making a new home tor us and I am sure you are going to just love it." Polly sniffed scornfully. "I dont care anything about that new home," said she. "The least you could have done was to have taken me along to help select the place." "But I'm aure you'll like it," inter? rupted Johnny. "And I'm sure that I will not," re? torted Polly. the way down there Johnny didn't mind Jit all. In fact, the more she scolded the more he chuckled down in? side. You see, he was quite used to Polly Chuck's sharp tongue and he knew her so well that he didn't worry in the least as to what Polly would do when she saw that new home. It was the longest journey that Polly Chuck had evor taken away from the Old Orchard, and because they had to cross the open meadows it was a most anxious journey. So when at last they, reached the edge of Farmer Brown's cornfield and the shelter of the bu?hea growing about the fence she gave a great sigh of relief. Then she saw the mound of shining yellow sand which Johnny Chuck had made for a door? step to his new home. She tried not to look pleased. She turned up her nose and pretendetj that she didn't like the plaee at all. But presently she went down inside. Johnny waited out? side. He waited and waited. Finally he went down in. "I think," said Polly, "that well make another bed? room right here." She was already at work digging off to one side. (Copyright, 1?-G. by T. W. Burgtss) The next story: Finished. The New Home Is Ung, m player who is llttls known in this country, but had breat success in London In Louis Mann's r?le in 'Friendly Enemies." In "The Ouija Board" he is able to contribute even norc to tho creepiness of tho big ?ceno than nil the devices of booming jongs and lowered lights. Another ex? cellent performance is that of George : Gaul in a part which would be con- j rentional enough but for tho feeling, ind shading which he brings to it. Edward EIHa is amusing as a comic ! :rook, and Stewart E. Wilson i_ ef? fective as a cocaine fiend, im spite of tn occasional tendency to do too much, incidentally tho present season ha? :onvinced us that the anti-prohibition sts were right when they said that there would be a great increase in drug ?ddicts as soon as tho mm was shut iff. To-day every play must have its ?eroin. One of the devices of the play which lurprised but did not altogether please as was an electrical device installed n a phonograph by which anybody *ho played "Fair Harvard' would be ne character in the play and another jarely escaped. We would have found t more pleasing and convincing as well, if he had died from "Boola Boola," or "Old Nassau." 'Mrs. Jimmie Thompson," New Comedy, Opens at the Princess Some day some author with a heart and a sense of justice will write a play ! revealing tho lonjr carefully guarded I secret that some men would like to get married, too, if only they had a chance or could afford it. Of course that sort of production would not be as sooth? ing to masculine vanity as, say, the new comedy "Mrs. Jimmie Thompson," staged at the Princess Theater last i night. The sterner sex loves to im? agine it is sought and pursued, and that scores of beautiful women are dying of lonesomeness and despair just because the "stronger bipeds" refu.se to say the necessary word. But just let some vouth in real ' life wearing a thirteen and a half collar and earning $18 a week ask some sweet clinging thing with a taste for theaters and limousines to be his brido and see what happens to him. Just let him try it once. However, if the delusion is to per? si-t that only the women do the lan? guishing, it is well that it is perpet? uated in so amusing a form as "Mrs. Jimmie Thompson." The scenes of the play, which was written by Norman S. Rose and Edith Ellis, are "laid" in a boarding house in New York conducted by a former actress, mo;-t canubCy? represented by Minna Phillips. Unquestionably a person who has had her trials, she ?3, however, romantic and good hearted, providing what would seem to t'*e modern furnished-room hunter to be a very attractive home indeed for ?"he languishing women and much-sought for ?neu who are the characters in the play. Miss Gladys Ilurlbut is one of those. As Eleanor Warren she shows what a poor stenographer who is lonesome can do once she actually makes up her mind to marry. Peggy Boland is an? other, and although, as Louise C ark, she is only a manicurist, she also "gets a man," even though he is nothing but a pickle salesman and presumably earns considerably 'ess money than she does. Warren W. Krech is the pickle and preserve salesman? Other personages in the play are Anita Rothre, in the part of a maiden lady with a dark secret, who neverthe? less plays a fair game of poker; Rich? ard Taber, who is good as the inevit? able "cut up" at the ideal boarding house; George L. Suaulding, as che handsome but too self-restrained lover, whose failure to "say the word" causes much of the trouble, and S.ira En right, who isn't at. all bad as a soulful maul in an altogether unusually soulful New York boarding house. $100,000 for Physicians Mrs. Henry R. Rea, of Pittsburgh, has given $100,000 to provide practic? ing physician with opportunities for post graduate study at New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, it was announced ' yesterday b" Dr. Ludwig Kast, a member of the institution's $2.000,000 endowment fund committee. Twenty or more scholarshins will be available for doctors who could not Otherwise afford to suspend practicing during their post graduate courses.

Community Trust Now on Working Basis - Frank J. Parsona, Director of Civic Organization, Announces It Already Ha, Begun Functioning All Pol?tica Is Barred! Distribution Committee to Have 11 Members, Eacb Cr?aed Limited to Three Plans for a great Community Trust for New York City have advanced so ; far that Frank J. Parsons, vice-presi? dent of the United States Mortgage and Trust Company and acting director of the trust, said yesterday that the institution already has begun function? ing. Bequests of property have been made to the trust recently which as? sure the carrying out of the charitable, educational and scientific aims of the organization, Mr. Parsons said, and when the first cash gifts become avail? able for the trust fund a committee on distribution will be selected for the disposal of the money or net in? come from year to year in accordance with those aimB. In addition to sixteen local trust i companies, the boards of directors of ?which have adopted the resolution and i declaration creating the Community Trust and are, therefore, the nucleus for the building up of the project, numerous national and state banks, as well as other trust companies in this I vicinity, have requested information | and intend joining. Trust Companies Involved The trust companies which have agreed to receive contributions of money ard property and take an ac? tive part in the conduct of the Com? munity Trust are: Equitable Trust Company, Columbia Trust Company, New York Trust Company, United States Mortgage and Trust Company, Irving Trust Company, Title Guaran? tee and Trust Company, Hudson Trust Company, Metropolitan Trust Coni pan'\ Manufacturers' Trust Company, Fran, '**? Trust Company, King County Trust C ^oany, Mercantile Trust Com? pany, Frd-. " Trust Company, Ameri? can T* .dt L mpany, Hamilton, Trust Com ..?any and the Commercial Trust Company. Alvin W. Krech, president of the : Equitable Trust Company, has been elected chairman of the trustees' com ; mittee provided for under the plan. The committee on distribution re? ferred to will consist of eleven mem? bers, the tenure of any member not to exceed six years and the body so con? stituted that at the end of each year two new members will displace two old ?>nes. The constitution provides that these members shall be residents of the community, citizens of the United States and "shall be selected for their knowledge of the educational, rhari table or benevolent needs of the in? habitants of the community." In no event shall more than three oi the members belong to the same re? ligious sect or denomination. No per? son holding public office shall be s member of the committee, and if any member shall be appointed or elected to public office he shall cease auto? matically to be a member. The Committee Make-up The committee shall be constituted ; nominated, appointed and classified as I follows: Class 1. One member by the presi? dent of the Chamber of Commerce oi the State of New York. Class 2. One member by the Mayor Class 3. One member by the presi ' dent of the New York Academy o: : Medicine. Class 4. One member by the presi | dent of the New York City Bar Asso ciation. Class 5. One member by the senio : circuit judge of the United States Cir ? cuit Court of Appeals for the 2d Cir j cuit. Class 6. Five members by the trus j tees' committee of the Commnnit. ; Trust, none of whom shall be an ex ! ecutive officer of the trustees. "More and more," said Mr, Parsons i "persons of wealth are coming to se? i the advisability of bequeathing mono* and property to the public. The his tory O? Community Trusts in th? United States and the services they ar performing for the. public goo?.*, in eac! of the large cities where they hav? been set up, show that the Oommunit; Trust can be a tremendous force ?i the amelioration of any condition detri mental to a community's interests. "As time goe3 on we expect the num ber of persons disposed to leave thei wealth for the enhancement of th public good in this city will great!: increase. They now have an organiza tion which assures them a worthy em ployment of their bequests. Tins cit; needs the Community Trust perhap more than any other in the countr; ? by reason of the varied conditions o : life and population." Politics Barred Mr. Parsons said there would be n mixing in politics or partisan matters that the Community Trust would util ize a part of its funds for investiga tions and presentation of acts fror an impartial view, to the end that th community may be aided in all possi ble ways. "Gifts are now being made unde wills and living trusts," he added, "fo the carrying out of the purposes of th trust. When the first cash gift is re ceived the Committee on Distributio will be selected, and put to the usage ! provided for in the trust plan." There aret hree essential point which, Mr. Parsons asserted, intimatel associate themselves with the scope c the trust. These' are: The preservt tion of the principle of the charitabl j gift through trust; the flexible mz : chinery provided through the con munity trust by which the incoi i from one's gift is always made ar ? plicable to live, current charity an , the possibility for creating, as th ! people are. educated up to the con < munity trust idea, a fund from donor #pp? ^?Diamond ^Kl Y* BRACE-LET WATCHES ^H beautiful' moO??ode? fiom^hria kk Cartier m \&j&9 FIFTH AVENUE ano 52?K> STREET J%?*yW \?**%J^_NEW YORK_*fJ?T$l large and small, for purpo___ of th? community. Numerous magazines, state colleges and libraries have written to Mr. Par? sons for information concerning the community trust aince the first an? nouncement o? the plan was made sev? eral weeks ago. Interest in the trust, Mr. Parsons said, has reached such proportions that, although the growth of the trust will be gradual, its suc? cess is assured. The local trust ?3 modeled on that cf the Cleveland Foundation, which was established five years ago, and at the present time gifts, living trusts and bequests estimated to aggregate more than $100.000,000 have been made to it. The community trust plan is now operative in thirty-four American cities. Its virtue is declared to consist in its d?mocratie organization and its public scope, which embraces every sort of public welfare enterprise. Tho amount of the bM?uests already made in wills and living trusts in be? half of the New York Community Trust cannot be determined at this time, Mr. Parsons said. The trust plan, which is equally adaptable to small as well as large cities, will eventually be operative in hundreds of communities throughout the United States, those behind the movement here affirm. -?_i - .

DREICER&CO zl eari JVecluaces* orine Jiiakesi Justre and Vona FIFTH AVENUE at FORTY-SIXTH On the Screen John Barrjrmore Achieves Sue cess in "Dr. Jekvll and Mr. Hyde" at the Rivoli In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," th? feature picture at the Rivoli this week, John Barrymore contributes what may be recognized as the finest screen act? ing yet achieved. One tremendous advantage the screen drama has over the legitimate stage has so much to do with the success of this picture that it is worth noting in detail. The change from the idealistic Jekyll to the bestial Hyde is made on the stage awkwardly and unconvinc ingly at best; on the screen, thanks to the manner in which pictures are pro? duced, the change comes as the very magic of the ma^ic potion which cal'ed up the worst part of Jekyll. There are many important points in the screen drama where such mechanical advan? tages bring conviction. Few screen plays succeed in giving the illusion of reality; that goal is far easier for the spoken play to. reach. In the case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," as in the case of only a few other screen plays, such an illusion comes to the average spectator. For this result the excellent acting of John Barrymore is in large part responsi? ble; but the setting of the play and the scenario also contribute their share. That such a stark study of the su? pernatural should prove a great popu? lar success may seem beyond reason; but from the wide popularity of both the book and the Etage play, and from the impatient crowds that waited in the lobby of the Rivoli for seats at the earliegt performances, it is safe to de? duce a wide popularity for the screen version 08 weil. Perhaps the often maligned consumers of erdless happy endings are receptive to tragedy if they can be convinced of the rea.ity of it. Such a conviction John Barrymore brings by his artistry. The story of the picture, or at? least its central idea, has becomo so well known it is unnecessary to recount it here. The visualisation of the story should not disappoint even the most imaginative reader of Stevenson s story. "Uneasy Feet," the comedv on the Rivoli bill, although limited, us its title suggests, in its survey of human, anatomy, managed to provoke a bit of laughter. The rest of the bill at the Rivoli consists of topical and musical features. There is little need to treat of these features when John Barry? more is to be seen; most of the people who surged around the Rivoli doors had desires for only one picture?the feature. They were well satisfied. ?- ? Y. W. C. A.
