The symphony will be Schubert's inn

called a "veritable storehouse of melodies"
1t has also been called the symphony OF
divine length" but that name was given
to it before the modern composers began
to write the symphonies and symphonic
poems of to-day. AS matter of fact
judged by modern standards, the c major
is of moderate length, but the multitude
of beautiful themes in ii more than ex-

The programme will be brought to an
end by two of the most popular SYM

who has penetrated the Federal lines en-

daughter. The childs concealment of
her father, her fearless defense of him,
and her final Illustration of the effort to

by comedy. The supplementary leading

moral lesson, out he lesson is enveloped
In a highly dramatic story, the settings
of which are realistically modern. The
journey of ''Everywoman'' leads her be =
hind the scenes OF a twentieth century
playhouse and out on Broadway on New
Years Eve.
The stage investure required for the
mounting of the scenes shown in its five
cantcles is the most extensive that has
ever been used to frame a purely dra-
matte effort. and the human figures
which appear in these scenes are at least
DO in number. There are 81 principal
roles. each one of Importance, and each
requiring the skill of finished actor for
its proper portrayal. For that reason the
cast of 'EverywOman" is one of note. In
! cluded in its roster are such names as
Laura Nelson Hall. Sarah lie Moyne,
Frederic de Belleville, H. Cooper Clfffe,
Edward Mackay. Sydney Jarvis, Orlando
DAILY, Vida Bennett Henry Wenman,
and score of others of almost equal dis
tinCtion.
A third very emphatic claim which
'EVerywOman" has to make for the in
terest of all who are in any way inter-
eSted in the theater, is contained in the
feature of its incidental and choral mu-
sic. which is the work of George White
field Chadwick, pre-eminent among ma
tive composers of symphonies. There are
tWenty-siN distinct numbers in this i'm
preSsive score. and their Interpretation
will be the work of a special grand opera

which organization Mr. Chadwick will,
in all probability. himself direct
The work of Hy. Mayer, the artist
who designed the costumes for Every

earnest attention of those who admit an
interest in this most absorbing phase of
modern theatrical production. and in so
far as the direction of the enormous cast,
II would suffice to say that this tremen-
dous task has been left in the hands Of
George Marion.
