Nazimova's Ideal Woman

my ideal type OF woman is one who
combines a masculine brain with the
feminine charm. see great many
women vino affect certain masculine
traits. who wear high boots and queer
mannish- looking hats. but such things
have nothing to do with the development
OF intelligence They are all wrong"
Thus declares Mime. Ala NazImoya,
who is appearing in new play by Basil
Hastings. THAT Sort"
"The woman who would be completely
fascinating. should understand and re-
tain ideas and thoughts presented to her.
She must digest those ideas, and, trans
mitting them in her own mind and
through the power of her own personality
send them forth again as her own. l
can imagine how Madame de stael fasci-
mated all the men who came near her.
Baroness Bertha Won sutner, to me, Is
the ideal Of this kind. She was the win
ner of the Nobel prize. you remember,
and wrote, Lay Down Your Arms
When she FIRST appeared in society II
was her great physical beauty which i'm
pressed people; then her charm, her
brain. her high and unfaltering purpose
made her one OF the most fascinating
women OF the time.
cage eoes not exist for such woman.
No one thinks about it. The type OF
women who fascinates men depends
largely upon the man, and men are very
uncertain. The man whom you would
think would fall in love with a woman
OF brains and education. and depth OF
character win be completely carried
away By a shallow, pretty little ingsnue.
who hasn't the falntest idea about his
work, and what is more, he will love
her devotedly and be perfectly happy
with her"

MUSIC
Musical Art Club

The second annual concert OF the Musl-
cal Art Club was held last night at
Nitherspoon Hall and in spite OF the fae
end of period OF nasty weather, the
hall was practically filled with those who
care to applaud and found ample rea-
sons for doing so. The entire spirit of
the Musical Art Club. as shown last
night. was muslclaniy In technique and
in spirit, In selection and In performance.
Ar attempt was obviously made, In bal
ancing the program, TO relieve its serious
moments with lighter work, beyond that
nothing but the highest ideal OF art die
tatud what should be given Musical
discretion was followed by eloduence OF
Interpretation and as all partook OF this
spirit. the evening had a unique quality
in all it's parts
Not a few Of the lnstrumentalists are
from the ranks Of the Philadelphia Or
chestra. II was good to hear them, as
individuals, Justify the opinion one gets
ot them rs body MIR. Kinder as sOlo-
ist and the eight players dncludlng himl
sen have week bq week done their un-
osteptatious work for the orchestra they
have shared In the approval which the
orchestra has won Last night the ap-
proval was more personal, and was well
deserved
No less than three local composers APP
peared on the program. Mr.. II. Van den
Beemts "Romantsche Fantastic excel
lently played by Mr., Kinder, indicated a
fine vein of deep thought and feeling in
its composer. Mr.. Addlcks setting of

was lightly sentimental in very ploas
ing way. The magnum opus was Ca
mile w. Zecliwer's "Serenadn Melanco-
lidue." II is in three movements, the
names of which seem to indicate that
the composer viewed his subject with
more than a grain os humor. Through
the three movements certain themes re-
cur. but there Is no lack OF material and
there is considerable skill i'm changing
the accents Of the themes in the various
parts.
The singing OF the male quartet and
OF Mr.. Braun and Mr.. Evans in their
solos was excellent. Mr. Brauns intel
ligent and dainty readings OF Quilter and
forceful work in Strauss were as delight !
full to the car as the quick humor OF Mr.
Evans songs. Mr.. Rattay played the
familiar Wieniawski arrangement of
Faust themes with vigorous control
over Its technical difficulties. Messrs, Won

men who Lad brought Zudora.

men who had brought Zudora.
They then proceeded to squat down
upon the rug, and Zudora piled her
questions and culled story which
ran somewhat as follows:
1t began in southern India. A cer-
tain native prince had in his extreme
youth, as is customary in India, be-
come betrothed to the little princess
of ncighboring State. There were
great festivities, not TO say eXtrava-
CANT ones, in honor of the event.
When the girl became young woman
and the boy young man the mar
riage ceremony was brought about,
but not consummated for the simple
fact that prince of still another prin-
cipality had seen the princess and had
determined to make her his own, re-
gardlcss OF the possibility of throwing
the three States into a tribal war. The
British raj might interfere, but not
until good deal OF damage was
wrought. The rival prince was Nabok
Shan, brave, hardy, and none too
scrupulous chieftan. He succeeded
in carrying off the princess, but he
was beset by so many trials that he
fed from India to America with the
bulk of his treasure and the purloined
princess. The house, with its Oriental
trappiugs, had been the property of
an uncle, who had chosen America be-
cause his neck had been in danger.
"But the mystery in this, Memasa-
hib: 1t is written that the marriage
ceremony shall take place before our
god, the elephant headed And al
ways when we begin the ceremony
we are thus strangely overcome by
sleep. Solve this riddle for us and
my master will pay you we'll" The
spokesman addressed a few words to
Nabok Shan.
The prince smiled and dangled a
rope of superb pearls before the girl,
intimating that in the event of her
success they would become hers.
Now Zudora did not seek monetary
reward; but she was wise beyond her
years in understanding the Oriental
mind due to the several years that
her uncle had employed Hindus as
servants. If she signi6ed that she
asked for no reward these dark-eyed
men would instantly begin to suspect
her, her life would not be worth a
snap of the fingers. Besides, it would
not be such very hard ordeal to
accept such magnificent gift So
she told the leRder-tonsay y4tss Nabols
Shan that she hoped to solve the mys-
terry for the sake of the pearls, being
a normal woman. But she must have
free run of the house, This was
agreed; but under no circumstance
must she leave without being blind
folded And, moreover. she must re-
main that night.
Zudora accept the conditions phi
losophicaily. She never wore Nabok
Shan's rope of pearls, however.
