Pinero Charged With Plagiarism.

In addition TO the charge Of having derived
his inspiration from Anglers Marriage
d'Oympe" in The writing of "1ne Second Mrs.
Tanqueray,' Mr.. PInero is accused OF borrow
ing without credit from German source. The
author has met the accusations with letter In
the London Daily Telegraph as follows:
"In your issue of this morning there is par
agraph drawing attention 10 resemblance
which, 1t has been stated, The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray" bears to a German piece, written
by Paul LiDdau, called Der Schatten.' Until
within the last few days had never heard of
the existence OF such a play, nor has Its story
been communicated to me by anybody who has
seen or read it. The plot OF The Second Mrs,
Tanqueray,' very simple one, is entirely Of
my own invention. From inquiries 1 am now
making, it would appear that Herr Lindan's
play is not published, and have not yet even
succeeded In ascertaining the date OF place Of
Its production. As TO the amount OF resem-
blance between he two plays l can express no
opinion. However like or unlike they may be,
the fact remains that until few days ago no
knowledge of the German play had ever
reached me, directly or indirectly"

Bauer's Symphony Concert.

Adolph Bauer's first Symphony concert Of his
winter series was but fairly attended last FRI
DAY afternoon, although aristically it ranked
with the best he has YET presented.
Tschakowsky's symphony No 5, 0p. "a, was
played for the first time here, and the verdict
of both the students of classical music in the
audience and also the painstaking members Of
the orchestra, who have worked on the sym.
phouies of the older and more generally ac-
cepted masters. was that the composition is a
great one. The allegro yvace movement con-
GLIDING the piece contrasted strikiDgly with
the curious valse which preceded it, and the
second portion OF the work, introducing the
solo for horn, rendered admirably by Mr.
Schotr, proved most delightful revelation TO
those who thought that there could not possibly
be any melody IN classical composition.
GOldmark's cortege from the "Queen OF
Sheba" and Soderman's Swedish Wedding
March" were handled in clever manner, the
reed work In the former being especially meri-
torious.
