A Critic on Critics.

Newspaper critics who describe con-
certs have many and various ways OF
expressing themselves, says a st. Paul
musical critic. Sometimes they are
happy in their comparisons, but Of
ten more amusing than happy. At the
performance OF Paderewskis new
symphony in London a newinstrument
was introduced In the orchestrah It
is called a tonitruone and the next
morning one OF the critics called 1t
"a ferocious instrument" while an
other, using a milder epithet, dubbed
1t "a weird appliance" Very realis-
tic was the writer who said the toni
truone sounded like 'the scampering of
gigantic beetles over a sea of paper"
and then repenting of his H. G. Wells
simile, confessed that 1t also reminded
him Of 'the rustling Of dry leaves
blown hither and thither by a gale"
The tonitruone processes to represent
distant thunder, but, judging from the
testimony Of the London critics, Mr..
Manner, the tympani3t of the st. Paul
symphony orchestra, and A. L. Snyder,
Of the percussion section, are more to
be trusted with thunder than Mr.. Pa
derewski's racing beetles on a rustl-
ing track.

are natural and the presentation un-
labored. Surely this combination should
make a most appealing morsel. Mr..
Joseph M. Weber has produced The
Climax with the same care and thought
which has made his musical offerings
so successful. So much attention has
been given to minute details that 1t
is said, when the curtain rises, a stage
picture is not shown; rather the hum
bic home of the struggling music
teacher, in the cheaper section of New
York is in evidence. The impression
that The Climax will appeal only to
the lovers Of music should not be for
med. 1t is the strong vivid, impressive
play of the moment Whether you are
musical or not, it cannot fail to have
it's effects. 1t Is clean, delightful
play, artistically presented.

Recital Audlerees.

Musical Leader C4aw York);-Are
Ts following 10 the footsteps OF Eu-
rope in tie mseSsr Of audiences for
recitals? There has been a growing
conviction, th!s >sason that, with the
exception OF a few sensationaIly suc-
cessful recstals at Carnegie hall, there
is no puolic for recItals. To what this
apathy may be attributed would not
be easy TO say IL remains a fact that
practically nothing receives a hearty
support It is needless to search for
an explanation on account OF financial
reasons, because that has nothing TO
do with the case. III seems rather 10
be fact that people do not want seri-
GUS entertainment, the theatres reflect
this condition as well as the concert
halls. Perhaps II is no different now
from what ii has been heretofore, but
1t seems more in evidence. Nor must
1t be believed that the operahouses
are filled according to the degree that
their offerings warrant. Mr.. Ham
merstein accomplished a great work
when he changed the course Of pub
lie taste from content to hear, season
after season, Faust, La Traviata, Ill
Trovatore, Rigoletto, and works of that
age known TO every opera goer from
generation to generation. But a pub
lie is never normal, II always tends
to one extreme or to the other, and now
the New York audience Is satisfied
with nothing but novelties, as many
as can be crowded into q season, and
after a few performances It Is not sat
isfied to hear them repeated, but some
thing newer and still more sensational
must be the order, or empty houses.
The one Ia almost as expensive as the
other.

The Third Degree is from the pen
OF Charles Klein, the author OF The
Lion and the Mouse. It's theme is one
never before handled by dramatists,
and yet 1t dates back to the dark ages,
to the times Of the Spanish inquisition.
900
The Third Degree has to do with the
questionable methods employed by the
police to extort confessions from sus-
pected criminals. 1t shows clearly that
mistakes will happen; that a man,
no matter how innocent. may be rail-
roaded" to the electric chair through
confessions extracted by inquisitorial
methods. Only through the love and
moral courage of a young wife, whom
the suspected, the scion Of an old and
respected wealthy family, has married
from among the working classes, is he

The sob Squad Again.

Kansas City Post: There was q
sob story in the papers few days ago
of young woman who, in order to get
money, to buy medicine for sick
mother, was "dpiven'' to sin.
There could be no doubt about it.
The girl said so herself, and "the off,
GER had investigated the case" The
usual "old court officials hardened to
such scenes broke down and sniffled
at the psychological moment for pub
lication. and the police judge looked
at the pathetic, girlish fgugre"
through the traditional film Of unshed
tears.
She had supported the invalid moth
er by her work at the laundry, but the
expenses of food and doctors and drugs
mounted up until she couldn't meet
them, and she had nowhere to turn
for assistance"
Such a story ought to smear the
face of Kansas City with shame--and
1t would. If true.
Nowhere to turn7 Let's see. Her
problem would have been solved, and

Of a hundred thousand other people
whose names and addresses can be

The man who believes such a story
libels whole community, and insults
his own intelligence. And 1t isn't a

people to pretend to believe them.

Dr. Koko Once Liked Fish--5ut Never
