Verr Dead EHlr" at Majestic "Afi aad kc Girl" at Maataak. The Majestic Tliaatre offered Iti patrons last night "Very Oood. Eddie," for which they had every cause to be thankful. New York would llko to have this merry musical play back here again. Some of the best member of the origi nal ant were seen last night. The melodious music and bright speeches were enjoyed as never before. The little war time play called "Arms and the Girl," which waa at the Pulton Theatre, came last night to the Montauk. Its amusing story waa enjoyed by a large audience. Cyril Scott Is atlll the star of the performance. "L'AVENTORIERE" AT THEATRE FRANCAIS Kmile Angler's Well Known Play Added to Repertoire Mrs. Flake in The Bronx. Lucfcen Bonheur last night added "L'Aventurlere" to the. repertoire of the Theatre Francals. Emlle Augler's play la well known here and some famous actresses have been the Clortmfet ot previous productions. Jane Hading, who acted the part here with Constant Coquelln, was one of the most decorative and played the adventuress with gen uine passion and unending allurements. Last night this part waa entrusted to Gllda Dirthy, an actress of finish and distinction, who was equal to making the Important scenes of the play Inter esting. It Is rather difficult to accom plish any more to-day with the famous work. It la one of a trilogy "Gabrl elle" and "The Marriage of Olympla" were the other two In which Augter struggled to uphold the sanclty of the hearth against Che Intrusion of the un worthy. In "L'Aventurlere" his char acters speak In verse, which Is an Im mediate negation of all reality, although the subject Is essentially domestic. He was more successful In pushing home his lesson in "The Marrhige of Olym pla." But there are other Influences to In terfere with tlio present effect of "L'Aventurlere." The family to-day Is different altogether from Its status In 1141. In France as well as In the rest of the world. The sacreUness which Augler fought for has departed. In spite of thn struggles of society In Its in r rower sense here and In Europe, the Individual has come more and more to the front at the expense of the family. And It Is the conception of the family I as the social unit, which Is the condition precedent to the solidity of Augler's ethics. There are Interesting survivals In con. temporaneous drama, which suggested themselves last night, of some of the playrlght's principal Ideas. Of course. Tom Robertson took the piece bodily for his "Home." The Idea of the son of the old man, who was on the point of marrying an adventure's trying to make her fall In love with him has recently been extensively employed. We had the uncle Imitating these tactics from m dis tance In 'The Song of Songs." and even now at the Playhouse there Is the same attempt to save a youth from a supposed ndventuress. Hut nil there varlutlons on an old device arc Ineffective as com pared to tho scene which the audience witnessed at the Garrlck Theatre last night. For Augler's old play still has great theatrical expertness, however Its psychology may have staled. Mrs. Flsko at the Bronx Opera House delighted her admirers last night by her exqulMte comedy In "Erstwhile Susan," the play which returned her to the stage last winter. The performance Is n rare, treat for the lovers of good comedy. Jean Webster'a popular play, "Daddy Longlegs," was acted again at the Standard Theatre last night. It's pathos and comedy were ns potent as ever and the audience delighted In the play ot prphan life. YELLOW FEVER PROBERS BACK. Rockefeller Caanmlasloa Stndled Conditions In Drasll. Five members of the International Health Board Commission of the Rocke feller Institute, headed by Gen. William O. Gorgas, who have been Investigating yellow feer In Brail), arrived yester day by the Lamport Holt liner Vnsarl from South American ports. Dr. Juan tiulterns. chief of thn Public Health Service of Cuba, nl.o of the commission, stopped off at KarbadoH to look Into yellow fever conditions there. Accompanying Gen. Gorgas was his wife. Dr. H. R. Carter, Major and Mrs. Theodore C. Lyster, Dr. William T. Wrightson nnd Dr. Eugene R. Whltmore. Tho Investigators have visited hospitals and collected records In the chief cities of Brazil and spent some time on the Amaxnn In places where yellow fever exists. Gen. Gorgas said the trip had been successful, and that the details ot tho work and recommendations would be given to the public through the Rocke feller Foundation. ;yiiiiiiii,iiiiMiiiiiiiiwniiii TBS 4- ? tip , f , WERRENRATH SINGS WITH FINISHED ART Second Song Recital of Distin guished Barytone Delights Large Andience. Relnald Werrenrath, the popular barytone, gave Ids second song recital yesttrday afternoon In Aeolian Hall. Ha haa been on tour with Geraldlne Farrlr ana has also aunc In enter tainments ot his own since he waa heard hera earlier In the season. Tha growth of his favor throughout the country Is one of tha encouraging evidences of a spread of musical dis crimination, for he haa none of the factitious celebrity which clings to al most any kind of an opera singer,, no matter how Inferior, nor does ha at any time perform sensational feats to nil people with astonishment. It haa been Che pleasure as well as the duty of Thb Sun on numerous oc casions to call attention to the high artistic merit of this singer, and will be similarly a duty and a pleasure on many more. It Is a pleasure Co recog nise and make known the existence ot such art ; It Is a public duty to make Incessant propaganda for It. Mr. Werrenrath Is a singer. Ha Is not a declalmer, a shouter, nor an elocutionist. He Interprets texts by artistic use of the musical tones of his excellent voice. He haa a sound tech nic and his singing Is beautiful In the freedom of Its tone emission. In the suavity and balance of Its prhaiing. In the natutal ease with which Its finely adjusted nuances are produced and In the satisfying musical effect which Is left on the mind of the hearer at the close ot each song. Poetic Imagination and virile Intelli gence unite In his conceptions and In his delivery there Is a communicative emotion which has no need of the vio lent methods commonly and erroneously described as "dramatic." He also shows taste nnd Judgment In making his pro grammes, which have variety and a sufdclent Infusion of novelty. Yesterday he sang two groups of Ger man songs, one of Italian It was un usual to And It the third and one of English. Among the German numbers were Rubinstein's "Der Traum" and "Es btlnkt der Thau," which have had considerable rest. The second of these Is a particularly good song and Mr. Werrenrath did It full Justice. Among the Italian lyrics was "Ultima Rosa," a charming little song by an American composer, Harry Splerlng, who J accompanied the singer In it. The ac companist for the recital was Richard Epstein. MR. SANDBY'S RECITAL. Danish Violoncellist Wins Praise for Variety of Styles. Herman fiandby, Danish violoncellist, gave a recital last evening In Aeolian Hall. Mr. Sandby. who was formerly the first 'cellist or the Philadelphia Or chestra, was heard here last season as soloist In a concert of the Hcandlnavlan Society, and at that time his playing In a concerto ot his own made a favorable Impression. Mr. Sandby's performance In his pro gramme of last night disclosed him as n young artist of enviable ability In the Interpretation ot a variety of styles, one who haa a comprehensive schooling In technic, and. In the employment of feel ing, a musician of much understanding. The player's tone also was a feature of his work, being large nnd smooth, flex-1 Ible and of a very beautiful quality. He played first Boccherlnl's sonata In A. and followed this with thn B minor concerto of Dvorak. Ills list also In cluded two pieces, played for the first time here, of Sibelius, "Mnllnconla," opus 20, and "Solitude," opus 61, a group of Scandinavian folk songs arranged by himself, and his own arrangement of a Dvorak "Gypsy Song." In presenting his programme Mn Sandby had the able assistance ot Ethel Cave Cole at the piano. WINIFRED LAMB PLAYS. Vnansr Pianist Given First necltal In Comedy Theatre. V. inlfred Lamb, a young pianist from Chicago, gave a recital In the Comedy Thcatro yesterday afternoon.. Her pro gramme Included Chopin's B flat minor sonata, Schumann's "Etudes Sym phonies," Cesar Franck's prelude, rugue and variation, arranged by Harold Bauer, and Dohnanyfa eleventh rhap sody. At first apparent nervousness made the pianist's work hardly commendable. As she progressed she did herself much fuller Justice. There were fewer false notes and more auggestlveness ot style. With the assets already In her posses sion of a good piano touch, a musical temperament and some technic. Miss ! Lamb may develop Into a player really worth while. iiWiiiiiiiiiiiiwc'iiiSul Let Us Help You Decide If you are undecided as to the 'appointing of an executor and trustee under will, call on our officers and let them explain our facilities for handling estates.

Bankers Trust Company 16 Wall Street; telephone 8900 Rector Jfotourco over $250,000,000 BERNHARDT ESSAYS ENGLISH LANGUAGE Applause fJrccts Her Single Sentence in "Tho False Model.' Sarah Bernhardt's flrat English words spoken on the stage were "Why do you speak In EngllshT' They were addressed by the French model to her Kngllsh painter husband In "The -False Model," the novelty offered In the new bill given by Mme. Bernhardt last night at the Em pire Theatre. The applause which greeted her first essay at the language of most of her hearers was epontaneous. English as It Is spoken by Mme. Bern hardt Is a marvellous thing, but It la attractive and Is sometimes most amus ing, whether or not ehejntended It to be so. Her audience lost night found It so charming that It was disappointed when she lapsed Into French again. "The Fatse Model" Is a little play In one act written by a gay French author at the front, It Is stated. It concerns It self principally with the clash of wits between the French model (Mme. Bern hardt) and a patronising Dutch baroness who visits the studio. There Is a more or less amusing discussion of "War Brides" In the play, and It ends with Mme. Bernhardt's reciting one of Shel ly's poems much to the delight ot the au dience. "The False Model" comes at the end of the "bill, which also Includes "Hecuba" and "From the Theatre to the Field of Honor," and fortunately does not tax her strength to the extent of the other two. It Is to be hoped that her future offer ings will contain less of novelty and more of the things which both she nnd her audience like better than "The False Model." Her "Vive La France" Inst night at the end of "From the Theatre to the Field of Honor" showed the same power to thrill aa on the first night, when her audience was more largely French than last night. Mme. Bernhardt's company last night gave h IVttlo comedy In ono act by Tris tan Barnard railed "English as It Is Snoken." whose situations depended on a false Interpreter In a French hotel who could neither speak or understand Eng lish no matter how It wns rpoken. The two American players with Mme. Bern hardt, Frank Connor and Margaret Mower, appeared In this piece, with MM, Favleres, Dencubourg, Gervals and Mile. Pelisse. The Brat" Opens In the Rast.
