Tragedy Is Handled
With Tact and Reverence.

For only one month he has been talk
ing about the pictures. but more
fluent. harmonious explanation could
not be desired. 1t would be very easy
to make a talk attendant upon such
pictures unpleas SAINT and obtrusive, for
the very nature of the tragic story
makes one wish 10 refrain even from
applause With tact and reverence. Mr..
Terrence tells of the tragedy. while
the accompanying remarks on animal
life In the Antarctic are intellectual
and human.
Mr.. Terrence vas born in Scotland. but
for some years he has been playing ro-
mantle singing roles at the Savoy
Theater in London. Early in life he
studied music at the conservatory at
Stuttgart. Germany. going from there
TO the Royal Academy. London. where
he won the gold medal for operatic
singing Besides being a vocalist OF un-
usual ability. Mr.. Terrence has written
a number Of songs. and many Of his
musical compositions are now in pub
l!shCd form.

Scott Pictures Are Well Describ-

CCORDING to L. Stoddard Tay-
n lor. Of the Belasco Theater.
n where the moving pictures OF
the Scott expedition are being
shown for the second week. 1t Is as rare
as white blackbirds for an actor to

form. There are two cases, however,
OF which he has a definite knowledge
There IN no need to call ones attention
to the case Of Burr Mcintosh. and the
Washington public Is by this time ac-
quainted with Ernest Terrence. the lee
turer who gives such a sympathetic and
delightful talk with the Scott Antarctic
pictures. Both of these gentlemen made
their debut as public entertainers on
the stage. and of the latter / learned
very definitely yesterday.
When 1t was announced last week
that the Scott pictures would stay at
the Belasco another week, everyone was
quite delighted. Many people stopped
at the box office on the way out after
the performances. to purchase tickets
for friends who had been unable to see
the pictures. There is no doubt tina,

country. Mr.. Pointing alternated with
Mr.. Terrence, the photographer lectuins
in the evening. and Mr.. Terrence I'm the
afternoon. 1t was in this way. Ohrough
being able to hear the evening lee
ture by one who had been with the ex-
pedition, that Terrence absorbed his
knowledge at first hand.
There are many intimate details which
he. Of course. not having been a men,
Der of the expedition. cannot dwell
upon, but there are still many others
of which he knows, but which cannot
be told from the lecture platform. The
true story is too grue some and. to the
English mind. too sacred in it's sacrifice
to be dwelt upon twice a day, es-
pecially when the larger portion OF the
audience is made up Of school children.
Scott's Last Message
Found Under His Head.
Yesterday. at the Belasco Theater. I
was told how Captain Scott's diary was
discovered under his head as he was
found as he died. sitting in an up
right position. leaning against the tent
pole. nine months after he had family
traced that wonderfully heroic and in
spring message to the world.
IL the tent with the body were found
thirty-five pounds of geological speci-
mems which these intrepid scientists
would not abandon. even though II was
with their last strength that they had
carried them from the Pole.
Mr.. Terrence told me that series of
unusually unfortunate elemental "b-
structions was the real cause of tine
failure and tragedy of Captain Scott.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Higher
prices for American stocks in London
influenced the opening hour, and
there was general advance. Best
gains were made in the International
stocks. Canadian Pacific led the adj
vance with a rise of over three points.
IL a. m.-Eagerness to market stock
at the initial prices caused an average
setback of half u point, and trading
became sluggish.
Noon-The market became dull, and
there was some scattered realizing,
which cut into the early advance. so
that by noon the list was about mid
way between. yesterdays closing and
the highest of the morning. Bonds
We're steady.
p. m.-Call money rose 10 per
cent, which added 10 the troubles
of the bulls and accentuated the de-
Cline already in progress. Leading
stocks eoverted their earlier advances
to 1 to . points into losses of half a
point or more.
3 p. m.-The market closed heavy.
Reports that negotiations were under
way to ship $4,000 900 more gold to
Germany, and that Berlin was bid
ding per cent. here for short-time
loans, complicated the local money
situation and forced higher rates for
all accommodations. Call loans
touched per cent, the highest of the
year.
