Singers Join In Applause For Damrosch Oratorio Society Goses Festival Amid Scenes of Great Enthusiasm; Conductor in Hia Glory; Delivers Long Speech Madame Schumann - Heink Substitutes for Tetrazzini and Is Well Received By H. E. Krehbiel Tha Oratorio Soeiety'a festival of music at the 71st Regtment Armory came to an end yesterday afternoon with a concert which dilTered from the ordinary Sunday "Popular" only in the fact that the chorua was on hand and after opening the affair with "The Star Spangled Banner" repeated the fine hymn "Laud Ye His Name," which mtrked high water at the Rachmaninoff concert last Wednesday evening. This ?as to compensate for the losa from th<*. sehcme as orlginally planned of thp "Inflammatus" from Rosslni's "Stabat Matcr," for which Mme. Tetrazzini was to have sung the aolo. JInve. Schumann-Heink, who was tha anbstitute, sang tho scena (recitative and rondol "Ecco il Punto" from Mozart's "La Clemonza di Tito", in place of the air from "Les Pecheurs di Perlcs," and a group of six songs in place of the air from "La Perle du Bresil." The audience greeted Mme. Schu? mann-Heink enthusiastically, and if it deplored the absence of the tonal pearla which Mme. Tetrazalni would have acattered had she been present, did not dcplore, as it ought to have done, the lack of beauty, tasto and style which marked the singing of Mozart'a music. Miss Hoffman at Piano The songs which Mme. Schumann Heink sang to pianofortc accompani ment were "When Two Lovors Are Parted." by Secchi, and "The Homo Boad," by John Alden Carponter; "Have You Seen Him in Frar.ce?" by Ward Stephens. "Taps," arranged by Paater nack; "An Indian Love Song," by Lieur ance (the violln obligato played by Kipa Fletcher^. and Arditi's "Bolero. Katherine Hoffman played the aecom panimonta. The concluding number of the program was the last movement from Hnydn's "Farewell" Symphony, during the performance of which the players gradually extinguished their lights and departed, leaving at the last Walter Damroseh in his glory, though not alone, for r.nndreds of ehorlsters shared the stage with him. Artistically the festival literally and metaphorically had gone out like a can dle in the wind, but there was an after rnr.th of enthusiaatic demonstration. The' multitude cheered. The singers sh-iwered the conductor with flowera. A wreath was placed in hia handa. Mme. Schumann-Heinl: Joined her voice with a thousand other voices in sing? ing "Auld Lang Syne," and Mr. Dam? rosch made a long speech, in which he said that the audiencea of the week had dc monstrated that the love of choral music was not dead in New York, and in reply to the critics who* had inti mnted that some of the music had failed of an artistic purpose becauae of tJie immensity of the festival room, argued that under eertaln conditions good might flow from aueh perform ances. Thi? was the signlfleance of his arguinent, not its words. And ln an ecstatic mood the crowd dlepersed. Two Other Concerta In the evening there were concerta of alrnost festival dimensions at the Hlp podrcme nnd the Metropolitan Opera Housi\ which ditfercd from the 71st Regimer.t affair only in the charactar of their offerings. At the Hinpodrome the chief attrae tion was Miss Rosa Raiaa, who also snng a Mozart air and sang it quite as inartistically as Mme. Schumann-Heink. The air was "De vieni non tardar," from "Le Nozze di Figaro." It waa the first of a group of three clasaie alrs which the singer reeled off in a singularly ahort-breathed fashion and with aaton ishing disregard of musieal taste and sentiment. Tho other two were Buononini's "Per la Gloria d'Adorarvi" and Durante's "Danza Fanciulla." Mr. Rimini, asac eiated with Misa Ralsa In the Chieago Opera Company as well aa the concert, sang "Largo al Factotum," from Ros smi's "Barbiere," and as he sang louder than the lady he was rewarded with louder applause. It became evi ?ient now that dynamics were to be the measure of success with the audience, which had also discloaed an inaatiable appetite when Miss Wlnifred Byrd began the concert with some pianoforte aolos; so when Miss Raiaa opened the flcodgates of her amazing voice fully m ' Tacia la notta placida," the glad ?lome noiae made by the audience ln the hall of military evolutions in tho afternoon was fairly equalled. The two singera brought the first part of the program to a close with the duet "La ci darem la mano" from Mo zart's "Don Giovanni," in which tbe barytone stubbornly and eonaiatently refuwrd to show regard for the pitch 'n vhich the soprano was singing and the p.anoforte playing. Tnere was no orcnertral music at this concert, but there was at the twtnty-ftrst Sunday concert in the Metropolitan Opera House and also aorne vioin playing by Miacha Elman ?wnich pleased the audienee mightily. The Rin^ra were Mias Rosalie Miller and Clarence Whitehill. ?- m ? i ?

Taos Artists' New Work At Exhibition Pleasing "Aspen Grove" and Other Land scapes Reveal Deviation From Old Moods By Royal Cortissoz There ia an agreeable disappoint ment awaiting visitors to the exhibi? tion now open at the Milch gallery. Three members of the Taos group are rtpresented, the group with which we associate ideas of blazing contrasts in local color and hard, dry outlines. The three give us the old familiar effects. But to our great delight Mr, Victor Higglns also unexpectedly deviate3 into another mood, the mood of his "Aspen Grove" and four or five other {ittle landscapes. He proves what we have always maintainea, that the Taos artists could do something besides the atrical ailhouettes if they choae. Mr. Walter Ufer is similarly venturesome, and in 6uch sparkling pictures as "A Morning Ride" and "Taos in Snow" profitably escapes from his customary convention. Mr. Ernost L. Blumen schein has had impulses in the same direction, but is on the whole faithful to the old mode of delineating Taos types. That old mode is undeniably bold and vividly rcalistic. All three use it with skill. But we hope the hints of change in the Taos hypothesis will be followed up. At the Durand-Ruel gallery there is a collection of twenty-four paintlnga by modern Frenchmen, all pld friends, who are represented in some Instances by familiar pictures. Manet's "Devant la Psycbe" comea back, a gloriouB bit of tcchnlque, and with it there returns hiB brilliant eketch, the "Marie Colom bler." There are four works by Degas, among them a masterly little drawing, the full-length of a woman, and a new thing, the "Portrait of Mme. de Nittis," which is one of the finest examples of his looscr manner. There is a number of beautifui paintings by Monet, in eluding one of the light blond can vases from his Rouen series, and room is made, of course, for Sisley, Ronolr and Pissarro. Two examples of Andre hold their own in the company surprls ingly well. The gallery is full, natu rally, of light. But it is amusing to observe the mellow patina which the ImpresBionists have taken on with the passagc of time. The MuBeum of French Art is hold ing an exhibition of French portrait engravinga. The collection of more than a hundred nrinta covera the aub Ject from the sixteenth century to the present day. ? ??? Three large exhibitiona were opened yeaterday. At the American Art Gal leries the R. Hall McCormick collec? tion of eighteenth century British por traita and landscapes waa brought for ward. The Anderson Galleries pre? sented Mr. Charles Huard'a old and modern drawings, a number of Whlat lef lithographs lately received from London and a group of ninety-six drawings by Renotr. At tbe Fine Arts Building waa opened the annual show of the National Association of Woman Painters and Seulptors. Bus Men Vrite on 'Courtesy' the big green buases that rumble up and down Fifth Avenue are ilrm be lievara in eourteay. At least, that ia the opinion of John A.

Easaya on the aubjects of eourteay, written by the eonductora and Irlvara of the buaaea, have been published in amall booklets which will be dis tributed on the buaaea this week.

Too Much Money Is Spent in 'Imitation Research,' Says Report; Would Lift Ban on Married Women Teachers Great sums have been expended by American colleges and universities upon "imitation research" and before ap pealing to the publie for new fundB on an en'ormous scale they should ren? der a statement of the results of their cxpondituros in the last twenty-five yearB, says Henry Smith Pritchett, president of the Carnegie Foundation for tho Advancement of Teaching, in his annual report made publie to-day. Blaming such expenditures in part for low salaries, the report says: "Much of that which has gone on in American universities under the name of research is in truth an imita? tion of research, and upon it great sums have been expended. Salaries "Dilutcd" "College salaries also have been diluted enormously by the tendency of most collego faculties and governing bodies to bid for students by extend ing the curriculum over the whole field of knowledge, a process which means great increase m the number of teachers and the conscquent leveling down of salaries." The teaching of undergraduates in some great institutions,according to the report, is poor, because in the sharp competition for the reputation sup posed to come to a university from carrying on research the obligation to teach haa become less and less realized. In many institutions, Dr. Pritchett r.ays. important branches of study are taught by ill-prepared and ill-paid teachers, and security of tenure results in indifference and inefficient teachers being highly overpaid while good men fire underpaid. The average salary of the college professor ir. the United States and Canada is probably larger than the average pay of any otner professional group, the report says, although of the 1,000 colleges in the United States and Canada fully half have no means to pay salaries beyond a bare living. Would Lift Marriage Ban Removal of the "meaningleaa ro striction of the teaching profeasion to unmarried women" is aujtgosted. "To teach well," saya the report, "ia the privilege of maturity and experience. It is the prerogative of men and women of affairs, of fatherhood. of mother hood. What have immature girlw to do with this except as they prepare to make it the main object of their lives irrespective of. marriage?" By the end of its fourteenth year, on June 30, 1910, the Cnrnegie Founda? tion had distributed $7,000,000 in re tiring allowances and pensiona to 852 persons. a i ?' i Bauer in Pleasing Recital -f Piano Program Charms Aeolian Hall Audience The excellent artlstry of Harold Bauer is well establlshed, and lt was in no doubt as to the high quality of en tertainment offered that his ndmirers gathered yesterday afternoon in Aeolian Hall at his second piano recital of the season. The gifts which have endeared him to the muaical publie as a chamber music player of great dislinction con tribute no less to his eharm in recital. The beauty of his tone, his skill in the niceties of phrasing and his sense of the.proper balance of parts are unfail tng. Brahms's Sonata In F minor, fol? lowed by pieces in the olden etvle, a few of the less often heard Chopin nnmb^rs and a groun of pieces in the modern manner, including music of Franck, Debussy and Rnvel, made up the printed program, to which, at the inslstence of the large and onthusiastlc audience, Mr. Bauer added several en cores.

Secrets of Navy in War. on View at Marine Exposition Show That Opens To-night in Grand Central Palace Will Include the Paravane, Foe of Hidden Moored Mines Navy devices which have been kept secret are included in the extensive dis play the Navy Department will have at the National Marine Exposition, which opens to-night in Grand Central Palace. Secretary Daniels announced in Washington yesterday that th.e exhibit will include models showing the cvolu tion of naval ves3els, some of the war's developments ln ordnance, a special ex? hibition by the 6th Regiroent of Ma rines and a full-aized paravane, one of the war's most carefully guarded inven tions, which is being shown for the flrst time to the public. The ship models to be shown ir.clude the following: The Holland, the first submarine in the American navy; submarine S-2, the latest model of submerBible in the navy, and the Maintonomah, represent? ing the old monitors authorized at the time of the Civil War. Two Vermonts Contrasted The Vermont, one of the old "clip per" ships, showing all the rigging of the masts identically as this vessel op erated many years ago, and the present battleship Vermont. Model of the Connecticut, one-half shown >n section and the other half' a full model, by which can be seen the various quarters, machinery, ammu nition holsts, otc. The Maine, showing the famous bat? tleship as she appeared before her de struction in Havana Harbor. The battleship Wyoming and the bat? tleship Pennsylvania, one of the new dreadnoughts. The torpedo boat McCall, a Bub ehaa er, a mine sweeper, an Eagle boat and the auxiliary yacht Corsair. Another intereating ahowing will be that of twenty-flve- amall models of various vossels of the navy and mer chant marine showing the appHcation of the camouflage used during the war Ordnance matorial to be shown in eludes: A triple torpedo tube taken from one of tho new destroyers, with one of the latest type torpedoes, and anti-aircraft guns, shella ranging from 1-pounder to 16-inch and aamplea of powder charges for each, together with depth charges, automatic guns and ma chino guns.

All information concernlng para vanea was kept strictly confldential during the war. Thia is an English Inventlon, used to protect vessels from moored mines, which waa adopted by the United States upon entering the war. Paravanes are towed from a skeg fitted on the forefoot of the vessel about on a level with the keel and run thlrty to forty yards out from tho center line, being held away from the ahip's side by the action of the water on a plai;e which Is set at a slight angle with tho body of the paravane. The depth at which the paravane travels is eovcrned by the rudder in the tail, which is controlled by a hy drostatic valve and spring. The mine mooring when caught by the paravane towing rope is dragged into the saw* toothed cutter on the head of the de vice where it is almost instantly cut. The mine then riges to the surface and is destroyed by gun fire.

Kane Tells Ascension Audience Each Case Should Be Reviewed Francis Fisher Kane, formerly United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, who resigned his post in protest against recent raids on radicals and deportations, spoke last night at the Church of the Ascension Forum. ? He criticiaed tho extent to which the government had enfroced the espionage law and urged review of the case of every imprisoned radical to determine whether or not he, or she, should be releaaed. Mr. Kane said that the first espionag'j law was necessary, but that the courts in construing it had made it dangerous for a man to speak his mind about any law of the nation, whether or not he had any intention of defying or at tempting to cvado that law. Ho sai(1 that during the raids on the Reds" many were taken who were in nocent of any thought of striklng against the government in any way Some of these, he asserted, were not eyen aware that their names had been placed on rosters of radical groups until they were arrested. a Roosevelt's End Hastened By the Dej^crf Quentin Nephew Tells of Colonel's Grief When His Son Was KUlcd Captain Monroe Robinson, of the 77th Division, son of Mrs. Douglas Rob? inson and favorite nephew of the late Theodoro Roosevelt, told an audience at the Bronx Union Y. M. C. A. yester daj afternoon that grief ovor the death of Quentin and sorrow at his own fail? ure to be permitted to go to France combined to hasten the Colonel's death. Captain Robin3on was called upon to speak in plaee of his mother, who at the last moment was prevented from addressing the Y. M. C. A. Ho took as his topic the one Mrs. Robinson had chosen for harself, "The Great Heart and Moral Courage of Theodore Roose? velt." In telling of his last talk with his uncle, he said: "Ho had done everything in his uower to aid me in getting to the front. He tokl me In that last conversation: 'Monroe, I am glad to see you go. You know where my heart ia. If you get killed you will have performed a noble service to your country, and if you aur vive you will have done your duty.'" Bedtime Stories A Queer Friendship By Thornton W. Burgess So greater blessings come to you Than friends yovfve proven tried and tru?. When Jimmy Skunk met Farmer Brown'a boy in the Long Lane that leads to the cornfleld he received one of the greatest surprises of his life. Yes, sir, he did. It was the first time in his life Jimmy had met any one who wouldn't step aside for him. Even great big Buster Bear always stepped out of Jimmy's way when they hap pened to meet, and was most polite about it. .T! nmy couldn't think of a single person in the Green Forcst or on the Green Meadows who didn't politely step out of his way and treat him with the greatest respect. So when Jimmy saw Farmer Brown's boy ahead of him in the Long Lane he paid no particular attention to him. He expected to see him get out of the way. He had met such two-legged creatures before and never once had they failed to get out of the way and do it in a hurry. So when Farmer Brown's boy stood still right in his And suddeniy Jimmy began to wondet if perhaps he wasn't the one who should be afraid. But faur is some thing Jimmy knows little about, ao ho kept right on. But inaide Jimmy <,there wa3 born, right then and there, very great respect for Farmer Brown's boy, more reapect than he had for any bo.dy else of his acquaintance. When he was near enough to sniff at the shoes of Farmer Brown's boy and still the latter did not move Jimmy was I filled with understanding?they were to be friends. Presently Jimmy went on a little way. Then Farmer Brown's boy went on down the Long Lane toward the com field. Having nothing better to ! do, Jimmy followed after a little. He i found Farmer Brown's boy digsing in | the warm, brown earth. Presently Jim | my found a fat, white grub Farmer < Brown's boy had turned up. Jimmy became interested at once. He followed He atamped his feet angrily, and . way Jimmy was ao aurprised he didn't know just what to do. He stamped his feet angrily, and Farmer Brown's boy merely smiled. Then he raised his big tail. Every - body knows that tnts is a warning, a dangcr signal. Farmer Brown's boy merely smiled more broadly than be? fore. Then Jimmy was tempted to shoot that little scent gun he carries and which every one ia ao afraid of. He would teach Farmer Brown's boy a lcsson. But after a minute Jimmy thought better of it. It is a matter of honor with him never to shoot that little scent gun unless he la in danger or thinka he ia. Thia two-legged creature appeared harmless enough. He simply stood porfectly still. Perhaps he was too scared to run. Thia idea tickled Jimmy. So ho lowered his danger sig? nal, hia tail, you know, and ambled tvlong straight toward Farmer Brown's boy. But aa he drew near he saw that Farmer Brown's boy wasn't scared. The look in hia eyea told Jimmy that Farmer Brown's boy merely smiled along behind and presently found an other white grub?a fat one. Then Farmer Brown's boy picked up some thing and tossed it over to Jimmy. J lt was still another fat, white grub. , So a qucer friendship was begun.' Jimmy Skunk was smart enough to' know that Faimer Brown's boy was not' afrald of him. and, at the same time, would do him no harm. Farmer Browr'a boy was wiae enough to understand that so long as he did nothing to startU Jimmy he wouldn't so much as think of U8ing that little scent gun. Sharp eyes soon diacovered what was going on and soon the word was all over the Green Meadows and through the Green Forest that Jimmy Skunk I and Farmer Brown's boy were friends and neither was afraid of the other, and ln the hearta of all the other little [ people there was a new respeet for each. (Copyrlght, 1920, by T. W. Burgeaa) Tho next story?"Old Mlster Trouble Geta Jimmy Skunk." On the Screen Anniversary Week Ia Observed at the Strand and Rialto Theaters The Tribune reviewer attendcd two birthday parties yesterday. This is an? niversary week at the Strand and the Rialto theaters. the former celebrating its sixth and the latter its fourth an-1 niversary. Congratulations are in or-1 der for both, but hardly for the way in j which either entertained their birthday! guests. As an odd coincidence, at both the-! aters two well known authors, the late David Graham Phillips and Owen John? son, suffered mistreatment. At the Rialto, where Violet Heming appeared | j" "The Cost," a picture adnpted from ; Phillips's novel of the same name, the I injury done the author was compara tively mild. The "cost," about which there is sc much to do, was, as far as we were able to ms.ke out, the price a woman pays for marrying contrarv to! tho advico of her parents. Pauline Gardner, who is married secretly tol John Dumont, discovers a bit too late ' that Dumont is not what he appears ' to be. I In the background is the figure of? the virtuous but discarded lover, Hamp den Scarborough, who is waiting with I the patience of high morality for Du-1 mont to stumble on the primrose path. I Let the details pass. Scarborough and Paulino meet, after the providential death of Dumont, to arrange the de-' taus for the next wedding. , A Mack Sennett comedy, entitlcd Gee Whia," wanders in an aimless and iruitless search for humor, with the i ad^?d irr'tation of innocuous title3. The musical features of the program did much to make us forget the trivi ality of the film offerings. The over ture is Liazt's "Les Preludes"; there is? as nn organ solo by John Priest, the "Concert Overture," by William Faulkes; there are as pleasing vocal 1 solos, an aria from Flotow's "Martha." sung by the tenor. Martin Brefel, and "Ah fors e lui," from "Traviata," sung by Grace HolFmnnn. At the Rialto we had been* the wit nes5 of a fourth birthday, and it was natural that there was a certain limi tation on sweets. But at the Strand, where it was a sixth birthday, there waa evidently no limit placed on sweet- I nass. In "The Woman Gives," from the novel by Owen Johnson, Normal Tal madge, with the aid of some title writer who oweaa great literary debt to the '? author of tha "Elsie" books and the1 talented soula who wrote tho books that fill our Sunday school libraries, ahows us juat what it is to have all the morality thero is. Tho story is much lilco tho one of the picture at the Rialto, so far as es aentials go, with the difference of a little twist at the end. As Inga Son derson Miss Talmadge rescues a aup posed genius from the disintegrnting after effecta of discovering that his i wife is one of those who only "take" j and do not "give." In the proces3 of ? saving the genius from opium and Johnny Walker Inga risks her own ' happiness, for her fiance is desccnded ' in an unbroken line from Ot'nello. ln- i cidentally, it was more or less a pity that this latter day Othello did not fall ' to with an eiderdown pillow whtsnever ho saw a flt of eloquence coming over -nga. To get back to the story, after Inga has saved tho genius she proceeds to tie herself up for life with this mnn. who is subject to fits of jealouay. With | fits cf jealouay nnd of rhcto?'j in the! samo family it wr.s as weil that tho I picture did not pursuo the story into l tho married life of the gtundi-'oquent \ \ov\ ra. ? The musical program :it the P.ialto acts as a counter irritant to the dewis tating effect of the pathos of the titles of "The Woman Gives" and the gen? eral inslpidity of the picture. The evcr popular Russian Cathedral Quartet sang Russian folksongs; the orchestral number was Enescu's "Rumanian Poem," and "I Hear Thy Angel Spirit" | was sung as a duet by Malcolm Mc-1 Eachern and Eatelle Carey. Such an overeupply of sweets at both i theao birthday parties makes the con- j gratulationa coming from one who has j tasted the syrupy offerings a trifle weak and insincere. These two feature , pictures brought back the image of the gir! of the nursery rhyme who, "when she was good, she was very, very good - and when she was bad, she was hor rid." So it was with theso two pic? tures. There were saintly figures in both and there were diabolical figures in both, but there wero no human figures. There was a great and celestial bright ness in each picture, and there waa a hellish dsrkness in each picture, but there were no half liffhta nor soft shadows in either. Both were as ru mote from art or realitv as is a frosted postal card of the Woolworth Towe'r "t night. Both were as mawkiahly sweet j and unwholesome as the French pastry I of a one-arm lunch. If this ba tho art of the movies, there is solace in bur lesque. "Treasure Island," the second screen adaptation of the work of Robert Louis Stevenson to be seen here in the last two weeks, was presented yesterday atI the Rivoli. In it Maurice Tourneur has preserved all the thrills of tho romantic tale of fterce pirates, mutiny, sea battles and buried treasure. Lovers of Stevenson will not be shocked by the I director's treatment of one of the au-j thor's most popular stories. Unlike hisl recent production of Joseph Conrad'a "Victory," he has not found it neces sary to distort, interject and generally rearrange in order to produce the ef fects desired for the screen. "Treasure Island" itself is rich in material for the screen without the necessity of deviatinjr from the coursc set by the author or chan^ing his story to any great degree. Mr. Tourneur is to be" complimented for not trying to "out-Stevenson Stevenson" and for tho skiil he has shown in reproducing on th*? screen the most exciting and pic turesque parts of the story. The cave scenes and all the battle scenes be? tween the pirate crew and the English men who headed the expedition in search of the buried gold were done with a realism which sent chills down the splne and gasps through the dark ened theater. Skirley Mason plays Jim Hawkins, and she makes a very pretty, very in nocent and resourcefu.1 and clever nero. Onee or twice when fierce pirates are about to cut her throat open with vicious-looking knives she does not seem to show enough terror, but gen? erally her performance is an excelTent one. Charles Ogle as Long John Sllver gave one of the best screen character izatior.s that has been seen in a long time and Lon Cbaney makes a really, bloodthirsty pirate. In fact, the whole : pirate crew bas been drawn extremelyi well. Simply to look at their forbidding j countenances makes one willing to walk I the plank without a whimper. "Treas ; ure Island" is well worth aeeing. Charlie Chanlin in a revival called "Work," "Der Freischuta" overture, the Rivoli pictorial, "Evening in a Tavern." sung by Emanuel List; "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," sung by Betty Anderaen, and an organ solo complete the pro-1 grara. The Stage Door - I "Alice in Wonderland" will be pre sented this afternoon at the Little Theater. To-night at the Fulton Thea ter "The Bonehead" will have its pre miere. At the Piymouth Theater, Boston, to-; night the Shuberts will present Arthur Richman's play, "Xot So Long Ago." with the following east: Eva Le Gal lienne, Sidney Blackmer, Mary Ken-1 nedy, Thomas Mitchcll, Esther I.yon, j Gilbert Douglas.

To-day the Hippedrome will celebrate j its ftftoenth anniversary, having been opened on April 12, 1905.
