PLAYS TO MAGGIE PEPPERS
Rose Stahl Has Audience That Thor
oupblv Understands Theme

Half a thousand shop girls saw their like

maggie Pepper" II was sort OF taihily
affair between the girls and Miss Rose
Stahl and the actress did not have 10 de-
mart from the lines OF the play 20 make
her GUESTS feel al home. There was no audi
ence that would have so sympatheucahy
felt the tears and laughter Of the romance
with a department store for BACKGROUND.
Nobody could feel the loneliness ot the
business woman so much as so many OF
those girls who went out OF the theatre 10
little hail rooms. and evidently nobody
could so appreciate the love affair OF the
stage Maggie Pepper as the 900 Maggie
Peppers In the audience When the actress
said, sarcastlcally:
"The privilege of handing over my pay
envelope to a male incumbrance doesh l
apneaI to me-" the cheers were V"'llerouS'
indeed. in some Instances. quite su1raSety.
Navbe the applause OF this militant remark
was stronger than usual because no men
wore allowed I'm the audience. The escorts
who took the girls 20 the theatre had to
sbiver outside until the play was over.
Nfiss gtabl had sent tickets To thirty de-
nartment stores. with a request for equal
dis,ribution through all departments espe-
cially. as she put IL. TO those Ilttle girls
with ribbons in their hair whose pay en-
volopes Jingle with very small coin. These
little girls with ribbons IN their halr'
were there In numbers ana as proud as
any iewelry counter dowager' ana even
prouder when Mss Stahl made short
speech especially to them.

Mr.. Zimbalist played the Bruch violin
concerto in @ minor for the first time in
New York and again disclosed his splen-
did artistic stature. The gorgeous warmth
Of his tone and the marvellous iuency and
certainty Of his technique were never more
evident. despite the inexcusably loud play
ing OF the orchestra, which at times threat
ened TO drown him out completely. And In
addition he gave the concerto in manner
nregnant with meaning and with sympa-
tbv In the second section Of the pro-
grarme he played Walters prize Song
and Hubay's "Zephyrs' For all the en-
thusiasm Of the audience was unrelentins,

MUSIC
A Concert of Dvorak'S Music.

The fourth Of the Sunday afternoon sub
scriptlon concerts by the Symphony So
ciety at the Century Theatre yesterday
afternoon was devoted TO music by
Dvorak. With the overabundance Of or
chestral music which is being forced upon
New York OF late, Mr.. Damrosch's efforts
to arouse interest by special programmes
can only be commended; the public needs
TO have its curiosity piqued, and when this
can be done with compositions by so sane,
sound and unaffected a composer as
Dvorak It is matter OF graduation. For
Dvorak, we are strongly tempted TO say,
was the last OF the absolutely ingenious
COMPOSERS, and his messa ge comes like
refreshing breeze through the hot atmos-
phere which many of his contemporaries
created because they were unable TO think
and express music in the idiom which
once was thought to be proper to music.
Mr. Damrosch is wise in not overburden-
ing his audience Yesterday he produced
the symphony From the New World
group Of four songs and finally the Sla-
vonic Rhapsody in G minor. The songs
were the least familiar feature OF the
scheme and were sung by a singer still
less familiar-Miss Helen Reusch, who, as
the programme stated, was effecting her
American debut. II is saying more than
little 10 say that she maintained the
interest created by a peculiarly eloquent
performance Of the American" symphony
by the wholehearted sincerity of her sing
ing and by the freshness and warmth OF
her voice. At times greater distlnctness Of
enunciation might have been wished for
only a few OF DvOrak's songs are popu-
larly known, and It seemed desirable that
such fine examples as Last mich alleine,'
Am Bache" and the one set down as
THE Maidens Lament should be per-
mitted to make their fullest appeal; but
on the whole the newcomer acquitted her
self so we'll that as warm feeling or
gratitude went out toward her as TO Mr..
Damrosch for his exquisite accompani-
ments. H. " ~

ago he endeavored to relieve the monotony
of the poorhouses all over England and

not of popular tunes, but of speeches
which he had delivered and of recitations
which he had given either Of his own
works or Of his favorite authors and poets.

his home in rooms just of st. James's
