NEW B0URGET PLAY
PRODUCED IN PARIS.
LA Barr1cdde" Shoes Social
ism IN Most Rabid Form.
NV cable 10 The rr,brnel

thN tdDie TO The Tribune.
Paris, Jan. LA Barricade,' four
act drama, produced tonight at the
Vaudeville Theatre, is the strongest play
which Paul Bourget has yet written. IT
deals with socialism In it's most violent
form. such as is to-day the burning
problem in France. Paul Bourget has
the full courage of his opinions: he
makes no pretence to impartialty: he
pictures a terrific struggle between the
boss and the workman and paints in
glowing colors what he calls the crimes
and blunders OF the French proletariat,
which, according to Bourget. are leading
France to a revival of the Commune of
1871 and to anarchy.
We have in the first act sabotage.
in the second a strike, in the third the
right of the workman to work, exem
plified by the so-called 'Jaunes," or
rabid socialists. and in the fourth act
after the strike a sort of compro-
mise on a cooperative basis as a solu-
tion.
The play is heroic appeal to all solid
citizens TO unite and fight the proletariat
"a sort of slogan battle cry It Is a de-
cided success. admirably acted by Jof-
fire., as the yellow working man; Byle-
rand, as the boss, and by Yvonne de
Bray, as the young fiancee of the boss,
who has also inspired the passionate
love of the anarchist workman. The
play, unless some of its passages are at
tenuated, is we'll calculated to arouse
socialist demonstrations GLIB

MUSIC
The Philharmonic Society.

At the fourth afternoon concert In the
regular subscription series of the Phil
harmonic Society. which took place in Car
negie Hall yesterday. the Incidents of the
preceding evening. already briefly recorded.
were repeated. The programme consisted
of Berlioz's Fantastic" symphony. Beetho-
ven's pianoforte concerto in z fat, of which
the solo part was played by Mr.. Ferruccio
Rusoni. and the prelude to Wagner's "Die
Meistersinger The symphony has long
been one of Mr.. Mahler's battle horses.
His reading of it's last two movements was
so wildly dramatic as 10 make one forget
the holIowness of much of the music and
the technical faults. for which he could
not be held responsihle-such as the bad
intonation of the wood wind choir IN the
Scene In the Fields He strained the
sound producing capacity Of the orchestra
10 the utmost. but Berlioz's circumspect
scoring prevented the usurpation by mere
noise OF the melodic contours OF the
composition. and but little of the musical
effect was lost in the extravagant striving
OF the ''Walpurgis Night section. while all
of IT was retained in the really beautiful
first movement.
Mr. Busoni's performance of the so called
Emperor concerto marked the climax Of
the afternoons enjoyment. There have
been occasions in the past when this artist
has seemed willing to appear in the char
acter of mere technician. Yesterday his
phenomenal command of the keyboard and
all the rest of the mechanism of the in
striiment- were at the service of sound
understanding, a fertile and poetic fancy
an a lovely spirit of devotion to the COM
poser and his work. From beginning TO
end there was rot a hint of meritricious-
ness in his playing, nor a suggestion OF
striving after 1ilegitimate effect His ex-
position of the body of the work was a
marvel of lucidity; his proclamation of its
beautiful soul sane. sweet and convincing.
In all things it was a model performance.

HIGGINS STANDS FOR ECONOMY.

Thomas ]. Higgins, the new Park Com
missioner of The Bronx, when asked last
night why he had dismissed one hundred
men from his department said that there
was no political significance to his act. but
that it was simply a matter of economy.
He said that the men dismissed were en-
ployed in construction work, building roads
and fences and filing swamps; work done
much cheaper in summer than in winter.
He said he took the position of public
contractor, and no contractor would do
work of this kind in winter when it could
be done in summer. He said the men would
ali be re-engaged in the spring, as they
we're Civil Service employees.
