Paderewski Back iii U. S. For Long Rest Ex-Premier of Poland and World - Famous Pianist Will Go to Ranch in West to Regain His Health Viselike Grip Is Gone $ays Piano Is Closed Chap? ter in His Life; Will Give No More Concerts Ignace Jan Paderewski, formerly *remi?-r of Poland and world famous pianist, came back to America yester? day on the French liner France ln seareh of rest Five strenuous years of war and reconstruction, he said, had put his vitality to a severe test. He is worn out and hopes that in the quiet seclusion of his ranch at Paso Roblos, ln San Luis Obiapo County, Calif., he may regain his oldtime vigor and give himself again to the service of his be? ioved Poland. Paderewski did r.ot look like a worn out man. His outward appearance did not denoto the way he felt. Were it not for his own assertion that he must rest. to carry on his work at home, his friends would hardiy credit the renorts from Switzerland that his health had suffered by his untiring efforts to re? store Poland to her place among the unfettered nations of Europe. Has Changed Little In appearance the Polish statesman has changed little since he was last on the concert stage. He is aixty-two years old, but he looked more like a man of fifty-five. Little of the white was apparent in his fluffy shock of tawny hair. His face. which always wore a pallor, seemed fuller yesterday, but on it were lines that come from troublous days. Ho seemed, too, to be more massive as the statesman than he was as the lithe pianist of ten years ago. His voice had lost none of it warmth and softneas and his move? ments were as agiie and graceful as ever. Hin iron hand, however, had lost its vicelike grip which some folk th./ug t oespoke the weariness which he said Viad brought him here for rest. One oi" the ship news reporters who renvembeied well the crushing hearty squeeze of his handshake remarked after the Premier greeted him yester (';-.;. ti.at he had braced himself for a shock that did not come. Some one st.i-' th.it the mighty hand of the peace time pi nist had become more soft and gtntle because it had forsaken the ex? ercise of the pianoforte for the less strenuous art of diplomatic handshak ing. Paderewski locked every inch the str.tesn-.an that he is. He was in no hurry to leave the pier, despite the urging of a group of friends who aeught to screen him from the hun-' dieds of well wishers that surged about him. He had a smile for every one and responded with masterly brevity Ito every sentiment that greeted him. Cheercd by 1.000 Persons When it came time to go away a great shout came from beyond the customs barrier. The Polish Premier heard it, and, lifting his hat, walked slowly toward the throng of well wishers. As ho moved through the passage way past a thousand persons? not all of them Poles -he was cheered until the door of his motor car hid him from public view. While the France was steaming up the Bay Paderewski, as is his custom, walked out on deck to greet the news? paper men who went down the Bay to meet him. He chatted pleasantly for a while, emphasizing the great moral debt which Poland owes to America, and then turned interviewer himself, asking about affairs in America. Then one in the group about him naked casually if he had heard of the death of James G. Huneker, the noted American critie and pianist, who died on Wednesday while tne France was on the Atlantic. "What is that?" he asked. "James Huneker dead? I can't believe it. Poor Jimmy. A great man gone. He was my very dear friend. It is terrible." Conerning Poland and her future, the cx-Premier said: "I am very happy to be here. Fully twenty-five of the best years of my life were spent in this country. I have come here for rest, but tlie first work before me before I seek the quiet of my place in Paso Robles is to express to America the profound gratitude, the leep-rooted appreciation of the Polish ?tneople for the part the United Statea nhas played in Polish restoration. It ? s the United States which has made it possible for my country to be indepen? dent. In expressing this sentiment myself I am voicing the feeling of the - entire Polish nation," Paderewski said he had heard since his arrival of a report of a sort of peace between Poland and the Soviet government of Russia, but that he could not speak authoritatively on that subject. Piano a Closed Chapter "When I left Poland," he said, "there were fiOO.000 Bolshevik troops at our border, and peace at that time was rroblematical. If a peace has been signed, as reported to me, Poland will treat the Bolsheviki as loyal neighbors. "It ia my impression, however, that this matter will need time for a proper working out. I shall remain in New York at the Hotel Gotham for a short while, and before I depart for the West I wil! make public a statement regard? ing Poland and the great feeling of affection nnd gratitude she holds for the United States." Aaked if he contemplated the possi? bility of a concert tour of the United Statea after he had rested in Cali? fornia, the ex-Premier shook his head. "No," he replied. "With me the Fiano is a closed chapter of my life. have had many splendid offers for concerts in the United States, but I shall not accept them. I have not lost my devotion to music, but that part of my time will be used in composition." Paderewski, it is understood, will re? turn to Europe in time to attend the meeting of the League of Nations in September. He was at his estate in Morges, Switzerland, in August, ir?14, when the World War started and his home waa turned over aa a haven for Polish refugees. Later he came to the United ; States as a representative of the Polish Relief Committee, which he had organ- , ized with Sienkiewicz, Polish novelist, ! and sought aid for Poland. Subse quently, with the backing of the Polish National Committee and the French government he carried on in this coun- > try a successful campaign for the re- ! cruitine of Polish soldiers for service with the French troops. This Polish legion, which was known aa Haller'a army, was sent to France. Before starting westward Paderewski said he would deliver an address at the Polish convention, which ia to be held '< in Pittsburgh February 22. He was accompanied by Mme. Pader ewaki, who will remain with him dur Ing his sojoum In America. ln yoor ?_>????? time take up ss, coarae ?f tq ?tructlon In aoine profitable profeaslon or trade. Conauit the H<lp Wanted Kemule end Mai* Instructlon Column la to-day's On the Screen Thomas Meiglmn If Starred in "The Easy Road" at the Rivoli Theater By Harriette Underhill Of late the talk has been of "fewer and better pictures." and of thia wo heartily approve. They might easily be better and, to judge from those we eat through yesterday, they might be fewer without. worrying us in thc Ieast. You wouldn't believo that a picturo with Thomas Meighan in it could be as bad as "The Eafty Road," at the Rivoli, for, even with that most cngag ing actor, the picture mannges to achicve an unbelievable amount of hanality. Mr. Meighan is starred in tho picture and Lila Leo and Gladys George are featured. Wc had fancied that Miss Lee would play tho lead op posite Mr. Meighan, and we have never cared especially for Miss Leo in pretty roles. So what was our delight to find | that she doesn't do tho usual aort of thing at all. Miss Lee is cast as a girl of tho slums> who loses her eyesight and in seeking a watery grave she meets her hero. In this part Miss Lee does the best acting we have necn her do. She resists nll temptatsons to look beautiful and gives a splendid characterizntion. It seemed to us that the cast was composed of about the worst actors we ever had seen and we had blamed the director. However, he may havo been quite innocent; it may simply have been that. they followed their natural bent, We handed the palm to Gladys George as being the most an? noying young femaie juvenile we had ever met, and then an hour later we took it back and gave it to another. But more of that later. And the heavy ?Arthur Carew, unless we are mis taken?well, when the hero said to him: "Get out of here or I'll kill you!" we hoped fervently that he wouldn't get out. The story is about a genius who loved an heiress and after he married her he wonldn't write any more but travelled "The Easy Road." Ile really did act perfectly scandalously and drank a lot, but this may not have been due to the fact that he married an heiress but only to the fact that prohibition had been declared in. Any? way, his descent was rapid. Innde. of two reels you see him fallen so low that he seeks to drown his sorrows in water. But when the blind girl, from the slums, plunges in ahead of him he forgets everything nnd rushes in to ?ave her. From then on you see him ri<;e again, and bis wife resist? the advances of the heavy, which Hearn knows should not hnve been difficult, and comes back to him. The titles nre so bad! One of them pays something like this. "Isnbel be onged to that great majority of which some clever man hns said 'You can't fool all the people all the time.'" Of cour"e, Meighan is himself through it all, but a monologue in the silent drama is a thankless undertnk ing. However. that isn't quite fair, for there was Lila Lee. The thing which pleased us most on the picture program was the Mutt and Jcff cartoon. Can't remember the name. but Jeff uses Mutt for lion bait and then goes to sleep and forgets to shoot, Of course, it has a hnppy end? ing for a stork steals the gun, drops it in Mutt's hands, and he kills all the lions himself. And now we have revealed the plot! There is a Paramount-Mnck Sennett comedy "The Unhappy Finish" and the Rivoli Pictorial. The overture is 4,La Hamhoula"; Emanuel List sings "The Big Bass Viol" and the "Bal Masque" is danced by Ruth Page, Caird Leslie and Sonia Gluckoff. Over at the Capitol the feature pic? ture is called "The Saphead." It is the silliest picture we ever saw, and if Winchell Smith had any idea that his hero was going to turn out like that he should have called it "The Idiot." Snpiiep.d is much too mild an cpithet. William II. Crane is co-starred with Buster Keaton, but both will un doubtedly be able to live it down. Mr. Crane i3 Nicholas Van Alstyne. a white haired broker, known as the Old Nick, and Mr. Keaton is Bertie, his pon. It is impossible to give any idea on paper of just haw great an imbecile he makes of this son. All of his scenes are* slapstick, of course; but are we of are we not supposcd to take it seriously when he buys a seat on the Stock Exchange and walks on the floor to have al! the members ntop buying and selling and "rng" Bertie? They pin tags on him and "smash his hat over his eyea and trip him up. This scene lasts almost until closing time, when Bertie hears some one calling "Henrletta!" It is the villain selling the stock to ruin his father, but Bertie' thinks they are tensing him about a girl with whom he is supposcd to have hnd an affair, so Bertie starts in to clenn up the piace. He finally buys nll the Henrietta and father is saved. The villain takes poison. This is Irwing Cummings. Carol Hallo way, the girl who used to hang over Vitagraph precipices, is Rose, his wife, and Beulah Booker is Agnes, Bertie's hanc6e. It was she to whom we finally awarded tbe palm which we had given tentatively to Gladys George. Hardly can we refrain from saying that if we were a casting director we shouldn't book her again. Mr. Crane's work is exeellent. The surrounding program is extreme? ly interesting. The overture is Liszt's symphonic poem, "Tasso." Rimsky Korsakpff'3 "Song of India" from "Sadko" is presented with a most novel Ktajje set, in which Alexander Oumnnsky, Mile. Gambareili, Doris Niles and Talia Zanon aopear to be dancing in the ocean. The Capitol quartet is heard in "The Long Day Closes" and "Love's Old, Sweet Song," and there is h silhouette prologue to the picture. At the Rialto "The Inside of the Cup" is the feature picture. Chnrlie Chaplin is at the Strand in "The Kid." Marion Davies is at the Criterion in "Buried Treasure." This will be re viewed to-morrow. Soloists Win Applause At Metropolitan Concert Fances Peralta, Alice Miriam sub stituting for Marion Telva, Charles Hackett and Jan Kubelik wero the soloists on the Sunday night program at "the Metropolitan Opera House last right. It was a program that seemed to please a large audience mightily, nnd there were encores and more cn cores. Mr. Kubelik chose for bis main num? ber Mozart'* Violin Concerto in D major, which he played with an ap propriate simplicity of style but in a ratber dry manner. It was received, however, with an enthusiasm that showed that it is not always necessary. as some seem to think, to bring for? ward the most battle-worn war horses of the violinists' repertory to please a Sunday night audience. Both singers and orchestra also ?m? in for a large measure of ap probation, especially the finished style of Mr. Hackett, who sang an nHa from Mozart's "Don Giovanni." Miss Miriam gave an aria from "Carmen" and Miss Peralta, one from "Aida." ?,-,?m?-, Galli-Curci Gives Concert For Greenwich Music School Mme. Galli-Curci and Josef Lhevinne, pianist, were the artists at yesterday afternoon's concert ln the Metropoli? tan Opera House for the benefit of Greenwich House Music School.

Cleveland Sends Another Orchestra To Eager New York Great Crowd nt Hippoclrome Suggests This City Could Support All Concert Mu? sicians in Entire Country Why anybody should havo thought it necessary or advisable that New York's people should hear all tha concert or cheBtras in tho country wo cannot say. Perhaps it is not necessary to attempt an cxplanation in the face of the phenomenon which confronted the newspaper reviewers last night, when at least 7,000 persons were brought into tho Hippodroma to Hsten to a con? cert by the Clrtveland Orchestra, Mlshel Piastro and Titta Ruffo. That was an unexa*mpled managcrial achievement and to understand it one must also know that the vast audience represented largely the population of the .Kast Side and that tho racial rela? tions of the two solo performers wero a large factor in the sum. Neverthe less it was a phenomenon to be reck oned with. ( How Mr. Piastro played and Mr. Ruffo sang is utterly inconsequential. Tho visiting orchestra only engaged critical attention. That it was heard under unfavorable conditions need scarcely be said. The .best of or ch est ras aro at a disadvantage when they play in a room too large to permit their merits to manifest themselves. The string band of the visitors seemed to lack sap pnd fibre; the. brass-winds merely strident, not noble; the wood winds without homogeneity and charm. How much of merit all these factors may possess cannot be said after such a hearing; nor would it be fair to at? tempt to assign a rank to the band among those of New York and other cities which Cleveland has emulated in sending its organi7ntion to us for a metropolitan hearing. The orchestra, under its conductor, Mr. Sokoloff, played the "Pathetic Sym? phony" of Tschaikoffsky and the pre? lude to "Die Meistersinger" (works which have a periodicity in New York of a fortnight or lessl, and accom? panied Mr. Piastro in Tschaikoffsky's violin concerto and Mr. Ruffo in some. opera airs. H. E. K. a Hopkins Professor Urges Classes in 'Small Talk' Training in Renarter, Satire, Punnin?x and AlMcd Arts Pro? posed, With New Decree Special Dlipatch to The Tribune BALTIMORE, Feb. 13. ? Time has :ome for the establishment in cn-edu cational colleges of a course offering instruction in such subiects as dancing, etiquette, small talk, theatricals, etc, was the view expressed to-day by Pro? fessor Francis A. Litz, instructor in English at Johns Hopkins University and formerly instructor in several co educational schools nnd colleges. This course. Mr. Litz suggests, might serve as a substitute for purely academ? ic training for young men and women who find the present curriculum a bore and a hindrance to making and keep? ing "dates," and he believes that it could be made to lead to a regular de? gree, something like "Raehelor of So? ciety," recognized officially as on n nnr with the well known Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. "For instance," says Professor Litz, "instruction 'n small talk would bo more interesting and serviceable than the dull routine of the work in Eng? lish, rhetoric or forensics. For what we at Johns Hopkins called 'English composition 1' and 'English composi? tion 2' we m'ght substitute 'small talk 1' and 'small talk 2,' expounding all the theory of being a winner at social conversation and corresnondence, in? cluding an exposition of the arts of nunning, repnrtee, satire and rdolley, combined with a dash or two of flat tery and gossip-ahout-town."

Perhaps because of the smnll number of thoso who have successfully culti vatcd the art of ballad singing, these concerts are seldom what thc name of the series implies. Miss Wyman gave yesterday's concert an authentic touch. She was a pict uresque figure in a quaint hoop-skirted gown, and sang with rare intelllgence, humor and grace of style "Thc Bailiff's Daughter of Islington," "Thc Keys of Heaven," "Lord Lovel" and other old? time songs. Others who appeared were Cornclius Van Vliet, 'cc'list, whose smooth tone nnd finished style were displayed in a number of short pieces; Elizabeth Len nox; niezzo-st'prnno; Olga Warren, so? prano, nnd Thomas McGranahan. tenor, A large audience heard tho program with evident enjoyment. ?'
