WPLEASES WITH
COMPOSITIONS
Hess Composer Who Plays
Piano, Reviewer Opines
After Concert.
By GRACE HA TCHINGS.
Whether Sergei Rachmaninoff is a
great pianist Os a great composer who
plays the piano, is a much mooted ques
tion today. In the mind of the humble
reviewer, after hearing his recital at the
Murat theater Sunday afternoon, he is a
composer who plays the piano. It has
been said that one book may make a
author and one play a playwright, and
now we know that one musical composi
tion can make a successful concert
pianist. Years ago Mr. Rachmaninoff
composed a “Prelude” in C i?karp minor
and that one number made him famous.
•He has many compositions to his credit,
but the public will never let that “Pre
lude” die. That he knows this and is
anxious to please his public was deon
syaxlous to please his public was rlemon
*ffckneyed number a place on his pro
gram.
Mr. Rachmaninoff is, of course, a fine
pianist, but he is best when he .plays his
own compositions. His reading of other
composers is different from any one else.
He plays in an analytical manner. He
seems fond of abrupt accents and pauses
and of sharp contrasts. Also he affects a
very staccato bass ngainst a- very legato
right band, which may be novel, hut
often spoils the musical thought and in
tention of the composer. He seemed
anxious to imprint bis own individuality
on all that he played until he came to his
own compositions, then he became a mu
sician. All of his spectacular striving
after effects seemed to drop from him.
He played warmly, poetically, submerg
ing himself into the music. He had pro
grammed, besides the “Prelude,” a
“Waise.” a gay little composition, and he
added as encores another “Waise” and a
“Barcarolle,” both of which were master
fully played.
Next to his own compositions, his best
playing was done in the Chopin
“Waltzes,’* Mozart “Variations” and two
Mendelssohn numbers, “Rondo ’•Capric
cioso” and the “Spinning Song,” the lat
ter added to the first grfcup for an en
core; Two other Chopin numbers
“Scherzo,” in B flat minor, and “Bal
lade,” P minor, and the "Faust Waltz”
(Gounod-Liszt) completed the program.
Whether or not we agree, with Mr.
Rachmaninoff In his peculiar and unique
interpretations and the audience, made
up largely of musicians, seemed to be
greatly disagreeing as they left the
ater, we will at least have to admit his
is a flawless technique and a marvelous
personality. He presents a brilliant and
Interesting program. There was not a
dull moment from beginning to end.

CONFESSIONS
OF v A BRIDE
Jordan Spence forgets
peril as he finds fair pa
tient.
The men whom our hospitality had
rescued from death , bowed first to me
and then to Chrys, but no one spoke.
There didnt Beetn to be anything for
us to talk about! It's always so in
the grave emergencies, I suppose; the
most highly civilized persons are re
strained and dumb. The woman who
goes Into hysterics, and cries c faints
at a crisis and increases the .üble,
whatever it may be, never proves her
self extraordinarily emotional and super
sensitive, as she flatters herself. She
merely proves herself an undeveloped
specimen of her sex and a particular
nuisance.
By being i • fectly unable to say
a word, for a long time, we proved to
each other tbat we were all of a high
grade a# human beings. We knew that
we could trust each other, no mat
ter how greatly we might be tested in
the hard days to come.
I, myself, had to laugh a little, not
Obviously, of course. Now, two hours
since, I bad been entirely alone —sealed
up in a rather splendid tomb, to starve
—or go mad! And I bad admonished
myself that, at last, I had arrived at a
place where I couldn't possibly make any
thing happen 1
Nevertheless, my tomb bad become al
most too thickly populated—and
crammed with potentialities. Almost any
thing might happen! 7, regarded my
companions with immense curiosity.
Gene Archer, engineer, was a mem
her of Bob's college fraternity. .\!
ready I could gue the trend of bis
thoughts. His eyes moved slowly around
the walls, the floor, the ceiling of the
rcom. His feet, as he tramped about.,
seemed to feel throughythe thickness of
the rug for ' some betraying
hollowness of the structure, some un
evenness of equilibrium, some slightly
swaying flagging In the pavement.
Also, I could guess something of Jor
dan Spencer's thought Ho was ab
sorbed in Chrys, not by right of love at
first sight, but by reason of his scientific
knowledge. He was a famous physician
—and even In this he had
found a case! He would let Archer plan
our escape—he would trust bis life to
Archer- but while It lasted, he would de
vote It to his pet science.
“And that is the reason everybody re
veres Jordan Mpence,” I said to myself,
“everybody in Europe and America. Even
the Hun!”
Very lately. Jordan Spence had come
home from France as otie of the tued ’
ical heroes of the war. With the Jordan ;
millions—hia mothers' money—he had i
fitted up magnificent reconstruction hos I
pitals in more than one town in France. j
He was devoted to his mother, and she j
to him. They had a unique record of j
war service, founded on the man’s com- j
plete absorption in his work. Even in
the tomb where we were imprisoned, he j
had discovered a patient in the exquisite j
Chrystobel Lorimer —who had lost her !
voi'-e.
"I do believe Prince Charming has |
come at last," I said to myself. But I ,
didn’t believe that Chrys had any such
idea. I wasn't interested In her thoughts,
however. No woman can guess what
another woman has on her mlud. Chrys
might be considering,the pattern of the
blue and gold carpet, for all I knew.
it was, in the end, the dumb girl
who first “spoke.” She advanced to
the center of the room and indicated by
a rather dramatic gesture, the prison
below us from which we had just res
cued the two Americans.
“Miss Lorimer is unable to talk, tem
porarily," I explained to Gene Archer.
“She is asking about your guards, I
take it. She wants to know if they will
not follow you up here?”
Chrys smiled exquisitely—she didn’t
even bother to nod| her head.
“The lady’s ‘query’ 1b practical,” said
the engineer.
“Os course, you will be searched for,’’
T broke in. “Don’t you suppose that
your Jailers know ail about the loose
flagging which revolves so mysteriously
in the roof of the prison?”—Copyright,
1920.

Asa conventional chorus girl, Con
stance Talmadge is delightful. And this
is just the part she takes in “Two
Weeks,” the screening this week at the
Circle. But Connie goes through a num
ber of daring things, that one might call
unconventional, but really they are, in a
way, unavoidable. The star is seen as
Ltllurn, wn energetic girl of the stage,
who, with her two chums, manages to
keep out of a job because of her narrow
views. Alfred Clonbarry is an ardent
suitor of Lillum’s, but tbe girl lias no
love for him at all. However, she know3
tluit threugb his power she can land a
good job behind the footlights and be
come famous. He promises her that he
will not mention love until she has gained
success. Finally that time comes, and.
mi honor of the occasion Clonbarry pro
poses a celebration to be held at the home
of Brady, Lilium’s manager. On the way
to the Brady home Lillum slips away and
takes refuge in a deserted house. When
Clonbarry comes to the bouse and makes
ugly remarks he finds two men, who de
cide to let the girl remain at the house
for two weeks. In the meanwhile strange
things have happened, but a clever end
ing Is brought about. George Faycett
is a delightful old bachelor, and Conway
Tenrle, always big and strong enough to
support the littlp star in her wild es
capades upon the screes.

Why Pay Laundry Bills?
We heard an enlightening story recently —
something like this
Two neighboring housewives employed the same lauudress,
who spent a day at each bouse, requiring, in addition to her
hire, street car fare, breakfast and luncheon. Later the
family income of the laundress increased to the point where
she determined to “retire.” For two weeks the men folk
bundled the Weekly wash into their automobiles (they were
outside the service radius of the laundry wagons) and car
ried the soiled garments to town and brought the fresh laun
dry home again—when it wasn’t forgotten.
Then one of the men bucked —
said he'd “be switched” if he’d turn
his car into a tiuck e’ en for fresh
clothes; something else had to be
Two days later there was a May
tag in one of the homes and its
owner had made a. proposition to
her neighbor that the two of them
)) do their laundry together each
' week, the one without the m&chine
to supply her maid as a helper to
square accounts.
, That was a year ago and the
plan still works. Now the laundry
for both families is on the line

day morning, whereas before, the
washerwoman required two days

The “Thirteenth Commandment,’'
which has caused much comment and
conjecture, is “Thou Shalt-Not Spend
More Than Thou Earnst.” And Rupert
Hughes, who has written the story, has
chosen his characters well. In the photo
play based on the story, and which Is
being shown at the Alhambra theater the
first part of this week, Ethel Clayton
portrays Daphne Kip, the extravagant
daughter of a money-worried westerner.
She and her mother care nothing for
the money they spend, but, to keep up
appearances, spend more than the father
earns. Daphne is engaged to Clay Wim
burn, a man of wealth, and she and her
mother go to New York to complete her
trousseau. Daphne finds that, on ac
count of her father’s limited means, she
can not buy unrestrainedly, and decides
not to buy any more until she is able
to earn the money herself. She cuts
away from her family, and engages a
room with an elderly couple, A young
millionaire offers to establish her on
the stage, but she fails to succeed as an
actress. After several disappointments
in her search for employment. Daphne
suggests that her landlady enter busi
ness with her and establish a shop for
brides. She proves her ideal to her
mother that women should be partners
with their husbands, and not an ex
pense.
Miss Clayton has a very good part in
this picture, * and makes the audience
fee 1 sympathetic and admire the strong
minded Daptjfie Kip. Anna Q. Nill
s-on plays the part of the extravagant
wife of Daphne’s brother, and Charles
Meredith has the part of Clay Wim
burn.

and Mrs. Jaffrey consents to her mar
riage to a young man who has shown his
love for Mary all through the story.
Kathlyn Williams Is seen in the role
of the beautiful Mrs. Jaffray and her

than usual. The picture is a typical
