Five Concerts Of High Class Here in a Day IHore Music of Its Kind Than Can Bo Heard in Any Other American City in Period of Two Weeks Bids for World Honors Carpenter's Concertino I? Played for the First Time ? for a New York Audience $y H. F.. Krehb?el New York is to hear ten symphony concerts this week "rom loca* and vis? iting organization?. All three of the local orchestras, which are on a per? manent basis the word permanent meaning in this case that their mem? bers are engaged for the season) and whose mission it is to give concerts of high class music exclusively, were heard yesterday; but there were also performances by the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House, which is also permanent in the same sens?, and an orchestra enlisted by Mr. Nahan Franko. Glancing over the programs of the five concerts, in Carnegie Hall, Aeolian Hal!, the Hippodrome, tho Metropolitan Opera House and Madison L-quare Gar? den, we note that the compositions played,' which belong to the plane on which symphonie concerts move, were two symphonies, four pianoforte con? certos! three overtures, a number of excerpts from Wagner's lyric dramas, movements from two ballets, a march arid a Hungarian rhapsody. New York Outstrips Rivals '.This ?s more music of its kind than can bi card in anv other American city irl a fortnight at least, and if such ac tyiiy is a sure criterion of the state of musical culture in the city New York certainly overtops all the other capitals of the world. A! any rate, we have never heard of 8<ynuich musi? of its kind being played elsewhere in a single day. And it was ?ill of high excellence in respect of per? formance judging by what we heard, by the character of the organizations ?-.nd by the reports brought to our at? tention. For any one person to hear one-quarter of it was a physical impos? sibility. An incidont of first class significance was the first performance in New York of John Alden Carpenter's "Concer? tino" for pianoforte and orchestra ?it a concert of tire Symphony Society, w?lich look place in the afternoon in Aeolian Hnll. The cornpositioji was heard in Chicago, the home of the com? poser, more than four years ago, when Mr. Craingcr played the pianoforte part, as lie did yesterday. .It liad a p!a;-t- on a program of the Boston Symphony Orchestra last Febru? ary.'.?? h?n* the pianist was Mr. E. Robert Schmitz, who was also instrumental in producing it at a Pasdeloup concert in runs in June. We do not know how the work iC'Vcted the Parisian public of the Parisian critics, but we feel ptptty aura that, since "ragtime" music hers made its. w&" over all Europe, it did not ireak to them in an altogether x!tWK?-w .?*?'."?? .,,i~ ...?-.. rcvdkon i Downtown Victor Store I ictrolas W E COR D S Convenient Tonn?

Strange idiom, though the shock of de? lightful recognition and enjoyment of its spirit cannot have been so great ? as it was to the audience yesterday. With engaging frankness and com? plete nonchalance Mr. Carpenter has ; essayed musical Americanese in this , composition. A Combination of Airs He has picked up the propulsive 'hythms of our dance halls caught -"he rollicking sirit of our popular songs (the worst with the best), enlisted th? I rievil-may-care moods of the multitude | en heedless pleasure bent and made ; '.hem serve the purposes of art At ?east he has tried to; lor even i while still under the influence of the I infection of jollity and merriment In? jected by his music we ore not quite ci-rtain that he has accomplished a great service to art. What we do know, however, is that what Dvorak did fn n large and serious style in his symphony "From the New World" and its companions the quartet and quintet for strings com? posed during his sojourn in the United States, Mr. Carpenter has done in a lighter manner, one calculated to make a wider appeal for popular favor, be? cause exacting a smaller degree of artistic intelligence and taste. The derivation of tho composition in its serene and most ingratiating mo? ments from Dvorak's symphony was too obvious to escape the attention of its hearers; but it was not summed up in the paraphrase of the principal melody'of the symphony's slow move? ment. In the extension of the opening phrase of Mr. Carpenter's melody we thought wo reoognized an effort also to assimilate one of the characteristics of Indian music, but in another placo a copy of Dvorak's device in introducing the beginning of "Yankee Doodle" (which in the. symphony is the prin? cipal subject of the last movement? "in diminution," as musicians say I. A full period of Dan Emmett's "Dixie" is quoted in the final coda, and there is a tinge of Stephen C. Foster, as well as or slave songs, throughout the slow action: but the barbarism of restaurant and cabaret bunds rests upon it. all in the excessive use of the percussion instruments?drums, cym? bals, castanets, tambourines. And a -.-enchant for noise (sonority. thi apologists will call, it) is indulged to the full. We wonder. Just riere, if Mr. Carpenter realizes how often he climbs the hill of din and drops suddenly off the cliff into a gentle valley in every five minutes of his piece. The releases from the brazen blast? and horrific dinning were mose wel? come, but" the experience became monotonous before the concertino was ended. Composer Wins Applnu e Mr. Carpenter, in lieu of a program, has givpn a characterization of his composition, which is delightfully apposite. He kens it to a light hearted conversation between piano? forte ami orchestra, both some what garrulous, both a little indifferent to politeconventions, Beethoven, we be? lieve it was, who, casting about for a Teuton:c equivalent for co;. ? rto, hi; upon "Streitst?ck" a contest between solo instrument and its orchestral coadjutors. Mr. Carpenter's conceit is happier and is capitally illustrated in the actual relatio hip between the piano? forte i.nd orchestra. It is amiable, but his gossipers rais ? their voices so high every few minute? that we are made to fear that ther?? may be a rupture of their friendship. In one plue?, too. toward the close, their language becomes disparate the orchestra talking in one Key-tongue, the pianoforte in another, the effect being something like the utterances which Swedenborg imagined he hoard coming from the lips of the denizens of hell. The sharp, propulsive, rollicking rhythms of the. music were right after tho heart of Mr. Grainger and he played his part con aviore. Mr. Dam rosch conducted in the same spirit, the orchestra was prompt in its response and the performance went like wildfire which kindled a gladsome enthusiasm in the audience. The feeling rose to something akin to excitement, which broke into wave after wave or applause. Mr. I>am rosch and Mr. Grain* er returned to the stage again and again to bow their thanks and by gestures turned the domonstation over to the composer, who sut in one of the boxes and bad to rise repeatedly to acknowledge the tribute which his music had won. The concert began with Liszt's "Faust" aym/phony and ended with Tschaikoffsky's "Nutcracker" Suite, music full of piquancies, in which in? vention and inspiration are on? and the same thing and (low in a beautiful stream between banks or. which blos? som the flowers of genius.

On the Screen Fairbanks Is Entertaining and Amusing in "Tlie Mark of Zorro" By Harriette Underhill For onte every one must agree that ! a title has been changed with good ef? fect. "The Mark of Zorro" at the Capi? tol used to be "The Curse of the Capis tiano" when it was in book form, but Zuro is so much less Apt to be mis? pronounced and it is also much more ? uphonious. i This is Douglas Fairbanks's latest pic? ture, and all the time we were watching it we couldn't help wondering what the cr.'ginal story was lilm. It couldn't have been anything like the screen version, for thereN couldn't be another hero like Fairbanks. For instance, if an author had narrated that Zorro climbed the side of the church, slid ?n the window, changed clothes with a monk, walked out again, broke open .iails. jumped from the floor to the ii rat balcony and escaped on foot carrying a Be?orita in his arms with fifty armed soldiers after him no one would bother to read any further. He would say there ain't, no such hero. Rut seeing !?? believing, as Dulcinea sagely re? marked, and on the screen Zorro does do it, or ?t least Douglas Fairbanks does, for never or.ee do you think he is Zorro. Picture Is Entertaining The picture is entertaining and amus? ing but not in the least convincing. When Zorro is backed up against a wall with !l!l> men waiting to shoot at him the only surprise lies in wonderine which one of them he is going to pick up by the heel? and hurl at the others. Douglas Fairbanks has never yet come to grief nor is there a suggestion of it. " So all one has to control are his risi? bilities. The picture is directed by Fred Niblo and it is very well done, and the back? ground is all that one could ask in pic turcf-queness. The story is of Cali fornia 100 years ago and Zorro is the handsome masked avenger who goes about putting a "Z" on the cheek of the oppressors. Any one who speaks sharply to his native servant or kicks the cat feels a cold breeze on the back of his neck, and there is the window wide open and Zorro ready to brand the offender. Taken Audience Tnto Confidence Wo knew all the time that Zorro was only Don Diego Vega with a mask and a false mustache, and indeed it re? quires no great amount of movie sense to know this, for the only ones w)go are kept in the dark are the. people about him. The audience, he takes into his confidence, but as they are all with him from the first he has nothing to fear from that quarter. And Oh, what a good time Fairbanks bad malting the picture! The cos? tume? are extremely becoming and tho tight white trousers and folded red sa h reveal the fact that the popular athletic, smilinc: hero hasn't tiikcn on an cunee of flesh where it would spoil his: profile. The picture is going to make you sich for the goud old days of chivalry when men like Zorro gave up their seats in the subway and tempestu? ously wooed the ladies of their choice and carried them away to their castles to have breakfast with them every ; morning. Some excellent work i?s done by : Xoah Heery as Pedro and Robert Mc I Kim as Captain Lamm. The girl is I "lit:., played by Marguerite Del? Motte. "The Mar'., oi Zorro'' is well worth Feeing. The program is n-.ore or less Spanish and "Espa?a" is the ruling motive ?n the music. We had the advantage over 'lie other people in the theater. A Spanish family sat directly behind us, and father read all the titles out loud and translated them into English for the wile and kids. Rut we can't promise this for every day, although he did say something about ma?ana Lest any one go to the Rivoli under Cue impression that he is going to see ? sweet, glad play about birds and flowers, let us say at one that "Helio? trope" isn't the name of an ingenue like "Lavender." It is the name of a "lifer" in the penitentiary, and his full name is "Heliotrope Harry," so called because be is so fond of Die scent and never travels without it. Uni. of course, there is an in;;enue in the picture, and she is very ingenuish indeed. The first title says that she reminds you of May flowers and golden sunshine. She dwells in a convent and reads love poems, hut 'it no time does the plot make it necessary for her to feed a 'dove. Hut enough of lier. The real story is about Heliotrope. Fred Burton plays this part and he does it extremely well bitter than you'd think any one could do it. ior it isn't easy to be natural doing things that no une ever ; a been known to do. He is in for life (offence unknown) .,:..! .in,' n't want daughter to know that father i.s a criminal. So, when he finds out that the mother has learned of her child's good fortune in capturing a millionaire, he begs a pardon from the Governor and starts on her trail. 1; is ::!l -o well done that you enjoy evi n ','?'. ? i ' "W that ii never possibly !.. pp ': in real 1 ife. Heliotrope swears to do his wife no .. before he is allowed to leave, so story is simply one of how he ? i|i- his promise, but has his revenge much worse than anything one could an 1 icipal e. It i-: nice ami shivery and some of the iron :n the audience said it was too gloomy, but u!i the women ap? parently liked it. Parts Are Well Handled 1: i< well handled and many of the were extraordinarily well han? dled. There ?..- Thomas Findlay, who was so convincing .-.?; the warden with an honor system; there vas Julia Swayne Gordon, ?.-> the bad wife, and William Mack, who was excellent as Spike Foley. "The hoy" and "the irir!" were done bv Wilfred Lytell and 1'.. na Alien, i'n incident struck us as peculiar. \ letter vas addressed to Spike at 472 Wesl Forty-third Street. He received the letter, yet his address as he let himself in with a latch key was plain ly l_"i over the door. Good work for Mr. Burleson! The indure is from the story by Richard Washburn Child. The scenario and irection are bv George D. Hai. r, The overture is extremely preten? tious. It is "Hymn to the Sun," from Iris arid is done by the Rivoli orchestra and Ce Rivoli chorus.

Piastro and Zueca Play With National Orchestra Twcshnikowskv, Wagner and Weber Pieces on Program Given at Hippodrome The National Symphony Orchestra, with Paul Eialer, conductor, played at the Hippodrome last evening. There were two soloists, Mishel Piastro, vio? linist, and Mana Zueca, pianist. Mr. Piastro is one of the younger violinista whose playing left an excellent impres? sion at recitals earlier in the season. The work chosen for his appearance j with orchestra was Lalo's Symphony Espagnole, a congenial medium for the expression of his admirable talent. Later in the evening he played three shorter pieces, "Slavonic Dance," "The ! Lark," arranged by Kreisler and Auer, | and Sarasate's "Gypsy Airs." Miss Zueca played her own Concerto ! in one movement which has been pre j viously heard at a ooncert by the Na ; tional Symphony Orchestra in Yon : kern. It is a showy piece of little I intrinsic merit and wholly lacking the j distinction of her song "Rachem," ? which has justly been added to-the rep ! ertory of many singers. The orchestra ' numbers were Tschaikowsky's "Romeo ! and Juliet" Overture, Siegfried's Rhine ? Journey from Wagner's "G?tterd?m? merung" and Weber's Overture "Der Freisch?tz." -a-,-, Friars Welcome Cohan Back Abbot Cheered at Farewell Din? ner for Channing Pollack Friars greeted their returned abbot, Geoge M. Cohan, with applause and cheers last night when he entered the grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor, where they were giving a farewell din? ner for Channing Pollack, who is to sail for Egypt next month. The principal sport of the evening was described on the program as "Pan? ning Channing" and numerous rocords were broken. John J. Gleason, who resigned as abbot to yield the place to Mr. Cohan, presided. Augustus Thomas urged the Friars to fight the blue law promoters. Godowsky Heard in Brilliant Program in Carnegie Hall Leopold Godowsky gave a brilliant performance of Tschaikowsky's piano? forte Concerto in B flat minor, with the Philharmonic Orchestra, yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall. The ap? pearance of the deservedly famous pianist and the popularity of the pro? gram, which was wholly devoted to music by Tschaikowsky, attracted an unusually large audience, and late comers faced a placard which an? nounced that all available space, in? cluding standing room, had been sold.
