The SOth season of the Boston Sym phony Orchestra In rhllndelphla began last night at the Academy of Music. Dr. Knrl Muck brought his entire band of 300 musicians, with but two substitutions caused by the war. The personnel of the orchestra, with Messrs. Wllek, Longy. "Wnrnke nnd Maqunrre, Is as familiar nnd ns grateful to l'hltadetphln as the buff covered program with Mr. Hale's de lightfully Inconsequential notes. And last night, when that familiarity wn Justified by the perfect performance 'which the orchestra gave, the enthusiasm of the audience touched oven Dr. Muck to an unwonted movement of sympathy with his players. What the Boston Symphony has above everything Is perfect tone, not only In the superb wind choir, not only In the olo oboe or In tho horns, but In Ite en semble, a vastly more difficult thing to attain. Last night there was perhaps but one second of time In which tho tone fell oft. The rcBt of tho ovenlng It was impeccable, and although the pieces they played is none of them dependent wholly on tone, the fulness and the grandeur of each was realized through that quality. To single out the work of Mr. "Warnko and Mr. Longy In tho funeral march of the "Erolcn." of the horns In the "Don Juan," and of tho strings In tho dellcato fugel Interludes of the "Bartered Bride" Is only tp Indicate that In the most diffi cult of parts tho Boston players aro at their best. Doctor Muck's program was wisely, al most cleverly, arranged. Its symphony Is familiar, but Doctor Muck chose to play It because he was ablo to make a, how thing of It Against It he placed tho tempestuous "Don Juan" and evoked mel odious beauty nnd sensuous .-npeal of an extraordinary power. Tho quirKty In the "Don Juan" which makes It so power ful Is that, unllko tho Beethoven, Its emotional appeal is centered through tho burning glass of tho Intellect, while Bee thoven Is pure sunshine, fire and nlr. It is generally considered that the Injection of the mind Into an affair of passion Is ruinous. The appeal of last night's tone poem was adequate answer to this Ill considered opinion. Then, to Blacken the efraln, the orchestra played Smctana, eloriouely humorous and healthy, played it with Joyous spirit and almost reckless enthusiasm. Pasquale Amato was tho soloist of tho evening, and vory good he had to be to make himself a place there. That Mr. Amato's triumph, was personal, while that of tho geniuses of the orchestra was so cial, Is hardly to be held against him. Ho was the soloist and not a member of tho playing organization. Ho assuredly tri umphed. In spl- of some difficulties with the second veme of his Salnt-Saens aria, because his voice was rich and robust, Jits tones well sustained, and his dra matic feeling, ugaln in SalntlJaens, Ir reproachable. In tho IlandeViilr, known familiarly In what Mr. Hf ? calls "the preposterous arrangement" jf tho "Lar go," Mr. Amato could nof be dramatic; the song Is a pure flow of easy, almost expressionless feeling, and Mr. Amato was artistically Just In hlB singing. Ho Bang easily, without a trace of labored "production." That ho made a great many people think of Tltta Ruffo, and think without prejudice to himself. Is sufficient compliment to him. The Beethoven symphony was by divine right the triumph of the evening. The fact that it was heard In the samo place a week ago contributed to tho further glory of Doctor Muck and his men. From tho moment the 'cellos gave out the sonorous first theme, to the ex uberant apotheosis of the last moment, the playing was of the highest order, and that being said, there remains only consideration of the Interpretation which Dr. Muck put upon the muslo. It Is more than a century since the "Erolca" -was first played, and It Is very possible that many conductors have played It cor rectly before. It Is certain that most have played It vilely. Last night It was played as Beethoven might have wished It, and played so as to end forever the rather silly discussions as to "what It stands for," In all the meanings ascribed to It, Wagner's alone has sense. The "Erolca" Is Napoleonic because at the time It was written Napoleon ap peared to Beethoven as the completo man, the balancing of all human powers Into titanic perfection. That Is all. But what life meant to" Beethoven Is even more Important than the individual who represented life at Us best to him. The meaning of the funeral march with the dashing, fearless scherzo placed after It, was made beautifully clear last night It Is that In the midst of death we are in life and that Is a more glorious truth than that In the midst of death we are In lifo. That la why the "Erolca" is the bravest, the subllmest of sym phonies. Played as It waa last night It made tho ordinary affairs of existence things of precious and wonderful im portance. It achieved what all great muslo should, what Mahler's Fifth Sym phony, for example, achieves In the same way the transformation of life Into a more splendid thing than It seems. That achievement marks the greatness of Doctor Muck. He conducted last night with all his old aristocratic pbwer, passionless and proud, apparently, but moving his orchestra and his hearers to passion and to pain. The restrained and ordered power of his leading, the final ability to command the rarest subtleties of feeling, wore his. His gaunt Mepblstolean graces stood apart from the orchestra; he seemed to com mand and to listen with all the air of a conqueror. His conquest, for that, was Immeasurably good. ''THE SONG OF SONGS" WITH VARIATIONS Bheldoa's "Heallsm" and Indiscre tions in a, Dramatization Edward Sheldon's "Song of Songs" isn't quite the same tuna as Budermann'a, It is more a set of varlatlons-eorae ot them very varied Indeed. The theme Is pretty much the same, the amatory adventures of lily. Last night at the Broad they traversed a marriage at IT with a depressing old spe cialist In youthful femininity; a mow or less serious flirtation that threw her out of her husband's house and into a young man'shns; various experiences in the hslf-wwd; some little genuine love, and flnally marriage with one of the men Of her liaison. Variation number one ia the purifica tion, on the sentimental side, that Is so necessary to American consumption. So Lily, parting from her father at a later ace than in the book, bears .with her not only the score of bis poor little master piece. 'Tho SouK Of Songs," but aooM high admonitions to k out Lv. Hence the inherent Innouence of all that follows. Until the old husban turns Lily out she jkou, safely on the straight and uarrow xtath. Jut bow the later sordid trage dies vem Lv br U not UMtlfe Wf clearer, fcdwevti-. by gwd dU of bighfalulln bleating about this same Love, much of It In the vein of! "You walked Into tho garden of my heart where no one ever walked before." Variation numbers two, three, four, etc., "punch," "realism." "red blood," dra matic vigor, expended over some en counters of tho rich young genttemnn who "keep" Lily, the young law student who loves her genuinely and whom sho loves In tho same way, nnd tho law stu dent's ecn-cnptnln uncle, bent on "sav ing the hov." This exhibition In ilrnmn turgy Involves some distinctly unpleasant episodes, and Uncompensated by human meaning one of the most unpleasant scenes of some years The lnttcr Is ft private dinner party at which the uncle gets Lily drunk, to the nccompanlment of much BURgested "smut" nnd one open exhibition of drummer's yarns. The re sultso far ns the story Is concerned lands Lily back In the rich young man's arms. Flrml vartotlon nn ending that almost lifts tho drama to a plane where you for get what has gone before Perhaps It was tho acting of Cyril Kelghtley as tho very human rich lover, l'erhaps It was tho momorv of Pedro rtr Cordoba's clear, flno portrait of tho younger man. Per hape It was the open vacancy of mind and fnco with which Irene Fenwlck shad owed the skilful picture sho h.ad given of brisk pretty shallowness At any rate, tho.momcnt in which tho mati-nbout-town preferred mnrrlngo out ot n long-aching heart only Just found out, nnd In which tho girl nccepted him with the despcrato hope that here at least she had made someone hear tho "Song of Hongs" which sho could not hear herself that last variation was genuinely effectlvo In Its pltlfulncss Tin- roit of the play, oven with the ex cellent acting that Leo Baker, Ivan Slmp3on, Tom Wlso and a long coBt lav ished on It, wns typlcnlly Hhcldontan. nothing more. There weic the courageous Innovations we expect of him; a novel form, casting tho play In six scenes, but giving too little development to tho cataclysmic emotions portrayed; nnd some excellent "low-brow" humor, which failed to Jibe very well with tho "high emo tions, But nowhere was there moro than a sort of verhal parodv of "Bolosco real Ism"; real swear words, genuine, hand made Indiscretions and some selected slang. For nil his "speechifying" on iovo nnd other matters, Mr. Sheldon went no deeper Into Ufa or tho people of tho play. What a contrast to Eugene Walter's treatment of somewhat tho somo matter In "The Easiest Way." Except for that last moment, "Tnc Song of Songs" Beomcd only nn exhibition, not an analysis. "THE BIVALS" REVIVED Tho revival of Sheridan's comedy, "Tho Rivals," which long served ns a lehlcla for Nat Goodwin. Joseph Jefferson and other stars of tho old school, was ably presented by B. Idcn Payno at tho Llttlo Theatre to .1 capacity audience last night. This production of "Tho Rivals" Is eas ily tho best ever seen In this city. Tho wit of this old English comedy was finely brought out In all of tho 13 scenes. Hilda Englund's maltreatment of tho English languago was delightfully funny. Sir Anthony Absolute was admirably ncted by Dallas Clark and left nothing to bo desired. Mr. Clark, who hns been seen In this city many times before, was never better enst. Inn Maclaren, ns Sir Anthony's son. Jack, filled the role ns only a Maclaren could. The love affairs of Julia nnd Fnulkland were effectively en.acteU by Ida Hamilton and Dallas An-ilpMnn. J Sir Lucius O'Trlgger. the happy-go- nicKy lover, was played by Whltfonl Kane, and all of the many opportunities for mirth In this part wcro taken full advantage of. Others In the cast who deserve men tion for the capable way they played their parts are Thomas Louden nnd Oliver Hlnsdell. Lvdla Languish, who wanted to elope, but found It not necessary, was Well t)lnvtff1 hv Mnrtniftrlt., ir..l f. ... member of the company this year.

BLANCHE KINO AT KEITH'S With a "yip-T-Tnddy" and a "Ylp-I-O," gay and blithesome Blanche Ring was welcomed to our city after two years' ab sence nt IColth's yesterday. She' came In a tabloid musical comedy. "Oh. Pnnn " In which she plays once more the role of the chorus lady, sings all tho old songs with which her name Is associated, and "It's a Long, Long Way to Tlpperary" and others. It was quite a pleasant party. Miss Ring enjoyed herself, and so did the audience, and after the more formal part of the entertainment was over every one sang and had a very pleasant visit. Mildred Ann Cannon, assisted by Paul do C'ardo, appeared In a scries of modern dancs designed which seems to bo the word that fits these highly complicated evolutions by various modern masters. Miss Cannon, who is pretty, graceful and vivacious, dances with skill. Mr. D Cardo Is really wonderful. Gifted with a slender elegance of figure, the sinuous precision of his movements In "Le VrnI Perlson" Is as extraordinary as It is fascinating, This Is the debut of Miss Cannon and Mr. De Cardo. It seems a pity they have delayed so long Adele Ritchie, whom some one once called "the Dresden China Prima Donna" and connoisseurs say that that German faience preserves Its lustre and the under aurface glaae so prized longer than any other European pottery Is as delicately fragile and wlnsomo as ever. At Keith's this week Is Indeed a wonderful dress makers' display of made-ln-Amerlca gowns, and Miss Ritchie's contributions are excelled by none. Miss Ritchie also singe fearlessly. To lovers of muslo the performance of FriU Bruch and his sister Is warmly recommended. Mr. Bruch is a 'cellist of rare attainments. Miss Bruch rendered Mauser's transposition of the "Hungarian Rhapsody" with a swing and dash and vigor surprising In so young an artist, and revealed the same virility and artistry In the Brahms-Joachim "Hungarian Dance," which she played with her brother. It Is seldom (hat musical artists of their calibre appear In vaudeville. And a tribute must be rendered also the audi ence, who responded with unexpected dis crimination. Others on tho bill are Gallagher and Carlln, In an amusing burlesque singing act! Britt Wood, Gusa Van and Joa chenck, and Sylvia Loyal, who has a troupe of 70 wonderfully trained pigeons. N "WITHIN THE LAW" With Miss Catherine Tower In the lead ing role. "Within the Law" again opened at the Walnut Street Theatre last night, and was received with as much n tbuslaslum as on the first night of Its production three seasons ago. The story of Mary Turner's unjust sentence to prison, ber struggle to ilve It down and ber final triumph Is an old one to theatre-goers, but Its appeal Is none tho less strong, its argument none the less powerful. In the great episode in the final act, where Joe Garson confesses, William Lambert illustrates the weakness of a cast that hampers Miss Tower. But above this the brilliant and charming' young woman rises. For Miss Tower has In the quality of her personality a charm, a sense of character, of life that is denied the merely ordinary aotrosa. To an ex traordinary degree sho pouesaa the power of projecting to the audience a kuh of the reality of bar part It l suoerHuous to consider here te moral Import of thi drama. Its obaan. sophisticated idea of life U obvious. But underlying It is th elemental truth that thr inua Ut U uuae i the Uu tbjt holds WHY TYPING KEYS CLICK FASTER FOR RED-HAIRED GIRLS An Inquisitive Youth, Study ing Titian Stenography, Comes Close to a Scientific Discovery. The man in Chicago, who says there Is no stenographer llko a rcd-hcadcd one and that he would rather push a pen hlmrelt than dictate to n blondo or n brunette Is right. Miss Harriet Hender son says so. Miss Henderson's name Is In big letters on tho door of a tiny ofTlce In ono of Philadelphia's largest office buildings. For 10 cents per pngo she will typo tho nicest letter over signed love, business, or Just the ordinary kind asking for a Job. A reporter hod read nil about this Chicago man and his typewriter theories. He Is the employing head of a Inrgo busi ness house, He needed a stenographer, nnd when he applied for 0110 of Miss Helen Bcnnet, manager of tho Chicago Collegiate Bureau of Occupations, ho had Insisted that no applicant but a regular Titian would get by his office boy. "A red-headed stenographer Is always a godd ono," ho had said. "They nio quickest nnd by nil means the most ac curate." Tho reporter did not doubt for a mlnuto that all this was true. Ha calls on a red haired girl himself every Wednesday evening. But ho felt Miss Henderson would know for certain When the reporter called she was very, very busy, Inecd, but the was quite will ing to answer at least one question. "Ot course, they arc the best," she said with her fingers full of 'your favor of the 13th ultimo received.' "You never saw a good-looking blonde or brunette, did you?" Sho Jabbed viciously the "?" key. "That answers your question, does It not? Well, I nm very ("truly yours,' hummed the key, but Miss Henderson said) busy." But tho reporter had ono more ques tion. Ho did not like the thought of It. Ho cleared his throat twice nnd then leaning uneasily on tho desk smudged his fingers on a piece of carbon paper llng there right side up. "Is It true," ho asked flnnlly In his plensantest tono ot voice, "as somebody has said, that, whllo red-headed stenog raphers are accurate, they have terrible tempers?" Tho reporter had thought, tioforo ho asked It, that the question might appear a bit Impolite, but 10 seconds later ns he exited from tho office backward a great deal faster than he had entered frontward, he knew It. Moreover, us ho crossed tho threshold he stepped on something round nnd hard and sat down rather unexpectedly on the cold cement floor of the hallway. The cause of his fall was tho top of a typewriter koy. It and nnother lay on the floor together. He picked them up. One was tho " " the other tho "I" Miss Henderson hns red hnlr.

Morcllo, his wife and a baby slept di rectly above the store. Joseph, a young son, who was sleeping In nn adjoining room, nnd his sister, Mary, were cut on the forehead by flying debris. The force of the explosion awakened tho city. For the last sexeral months tho grocer has been receiving anonymous lclcrs de manding money.

ITALY AND BRITAIN TO UNITE FORCES AGAINST TURKEY Menace to African Colonies Leads to Agreement Be tween Two Countries as War Fever Increases Daily. By PHILIP K. MACKENZIE ROME, Nov. 3. I am Informed authori tatively that Italy and Great Britain have agreed to stand together for the common defenso of their colonics In Africa if Turkey goes to wnr. Tho understanding may become operative at any momont. Developments In the Turkish sltuntlon are anxiously awaited. It Is now oponly admitted that Turkey's Intervention Is bound to niter Italy's attitude. Italian Interests In Norh Africa, along the Red Sea and In tho Aegean, are as gravely menaced ns are England's. In Government circles there Is no longer nn nttempt to deny that In Libya (Tri poll Itnly Is as much threatened by Turkey as England Is In Egypt, while Somalllnnd nnd Eritrea are surrounded by British possessions. Henco It Is ob viously Indlspensablo for Italy nnd Eng land, close friends and neighbors, to unite for mutual defense. Premier Salandra has not yet been In structed by the King to form a new Cabinet, but the King and tho Premier are conferring with the leading states men and Influential men of all parties. Even tho Socialist, Blssolatl. a rabid nntl-neutrallst, has been summoned, as well as Glollttl, who arrives from Turin today. A great coalition Cabinet made up of strong men from all parties will prob ably result from the conferences now going on. It Is not unlikely that In the new Salandra Cabinet, Baron Sonnlno will receive the Treasury portfolio and Imperial! bo named as Foreign Minister. The war fever has Increased enor mously since Turkey attacked Russia In the Black Sea and since It became known that Turkish troops are moving toward Egypt The whole aspect of Italian policy has changed. The Gov ernment now has a positive, definite rea son for bowing to the will ot the people and entering the war on the side of the Triple Entente.

"Down the street comes striding a sol dierly figure In welt-fitting khaki, stou brown boots, neatly rolled puttees, and officer's tunic, and yet there Is something odd about the dress. As h comes nearer you notice what it Is. At tho neck of the tunic, Instead of the regulation brown shirt nnd khaki tie. Is tho black silk vest of a clergyman. The military figure Is a chaplain InUld service uniform. "But ono Is constantly having tho sur prise of meeting people In unexpected uniform. The other day It wns Mr. Win ston Churchill In a blue reefer Jacket with the gold sleeve stripes nnd buttons of nn Elder Brother of Trinity House. Yesterday I saw Lord Esher In staff of ficer's uniform; Mr. F. E. Smith was lunching In khaki nt Volslns; nnd tho old blues nnd sportsmen of all kinds that tho streets of Paris have seen nro be yond remembering." The newspnpers tell of a trick which n German general played on tho Rus sians In retreating from a town in East ern Prussia the Russians wero forced to leave there a large quantity of bread. They poured gnoollno on the bread, nnd when the Germans entered the town they found tho smelly mixture surmounted by a sign, which read: ,,.,., "We hear that you need both bread nnd gaBotlnc. Here they are." About the same ttme tho Germnns cap tured a number of Russians. Tho Ger man general ordered that the bread be given tho prisoners and not n Russian touched his prison faro that night. From Berlin comes this story from n wnr correspondent. There are "sidewalk strategists" here, too. "We'll get to London when tho proper time comes," says my waiter. "You know how Germany fooled the world with her IB-Inch guns and her new submarines. Nobody knew she had such things. Well, we've got nnother trick up our sleevcr We've got guns that will shoot IS miles, and that's two miles more than the width of the English Channel between Calais and Dover. "As soon as we tako Calais wo will mount these big guns on granlto founda tions, shoot ncros tho channel nnd de molish tho forts at Dover. Then wo will sink all the English ships within range of these guns nnd wo will keep npathway clcnr acroBS the Channel to Dover. That way a can land all tha German troops we need ort English soli.
