ADJUSTMENTS
Boston Symphony Orchestra.

1t seemed as if all the music lovers of
Washington were gathered under the
roof OF the National Theater yesterday
afternoon for the third matinee of the
season of the Boston Symphony Or
chestra. And those who were there were
we'll rewarded, for never has the or
chestra presented a better program nor
one more effectively rendered. The fea-
ture of the concert was the work of
Mischa Elman, the soloist. we'll as
that of the orchestra, in the presentation
of Lalos beautiful Spanish symphony.
But three movements were played
allegro non troppo. andante and rondo
allegro-and the applause they evoked
lasted for several minutes and ceased
only with reluctance.
Handlers overture in d major, No. I,
was the opening number, followed by
Beethoven's masterpiece of symphonies.
the seventh. Humperdinck's In a
Moorish Cafe" from "A Moorish Rhap-
sody'' was the final number, and it was
exquisitely played.
No organization of a musical character
that comes to Washington stands higher
in the appreciation of its music-loying
public than Boston's famous symphony
orchestra. The applause that greeted
each movement of the numbers rendered
yesterday afternoon was as unusual as
it was we'll deserved

Sire .


Otis Skinner returns to Washington
next week with new comedy which
possesses a touch of historic interest.
Paris in 1913 was doubtless center of
political intrigue and turmoil. Louis
Philippe was then in power. but a con-
spiracy was on foot to dethrone him and
restore the Bourbon line of monarchs
to the throne. A. dramatist choosing a
theme for romantic play could not Sc
lect a more vital epoch for a background
upon which to throw in sharp and vivid
relief the characters engaged in a story
OF absorbing interest. Henri Lavedan,
one of the foremost playwrights in
France, chose the year of 1913 as the
period in which to depict the numerous
dramatic episodes he has evolved in his
latest great play. Sire The produc-
ton is made by Charles Frohman. Dr.
rectly after the production of the new
comedy here Mr.. Skinner goes to the

tended engagement beginning Monday,
