CHURCH Overhaul PLAYS
Catholic White List" Passes
on Many Shows.

The Catholic Theatre Movement, now
in its second year, under the patron
age Of Cardinal Farley, announced yes
terday the preparation OF white list
Of PLAYS now running in New York
and will soon issue its third bulletin.
The forming Of the first civic centre
in Philadelphia also is announced.
AZ its last meeting the executive
board called for immediate action and
"the more f0rcible expression of pub
Tic opinion" regarding what it termed
the multiplication of plays dealing with
crime and vice and portraying degen-
crate men and women. Promise cards
are issued at the Office, 100 West Goth
ST.. TO those who will pledge them
selves to stay away from Objectionable
plays and support those which are
worthy.
In the theatrical situation one thing
is pointed out by the board the ten
dency Of critics to discuss the ethical
quality of new productions with a
soundness of view upon fundamental
morality. The board recommends the
reading of press criticisms particu-
larly for information regarding the
plot and character of new plays.

SCHUMANN-HEINK
In ANNUAL RECITAL
Favorite Artistic Sings to Big and
Enthusiastic Audience at
Carnegie Hall.

Nine. Ernestine Schumann- Heink,
whose popular appeal is ever potent,
gave her annual New York song recital
yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall.
Needless to say, a very large and a
very enthusiastic audience was present,
and the famous German contralto
showed unconcealed pleasure at the
warmth of her greeting.
Whatever can be said Of the voice
and art of Nine. Schumann-Heink has
long ago been uttered in full and GER
tain tones. Her voice has always been
one Of the great ones OF the century,
and if the judiciOus might wish that
she sometimes would use il with more
discretion and not mistake unbridled
emphasis for feeling she none the less
has given unlimited pleasure TO Luge
audiences. She gave that pleasure
again yesterday, even though her voice
showed signs of wear and her breath
control was no longer as marvellous as
of yore.
She gave among other songs Beeth-
ovens "Ich liebe dich,' Schubert's Die
Allmacht," Schumann's song cycle,
"Frauneliebe und Leben"; LISTS Die
Drie Zigeuner." three songs by Brahms
and an English group. In all of these
her magnificent organ had full play
at times, perhaps, too full play-but
her singing was always evocatiye Of
storms of applause.
Nine. Schumann-Heink has become a
musical institution, and against insti-
tutions adverse criticism has little ef-
feet indeed. And when all is said and
done, Nine. -Heink's voice is
still one Of great power and not little
beauty. She made the most of these
virtues Yesterday

CENTURY ON LAST
WEEK OF SEASON
Harold Sings in Lucia di
Lammermoor'- Company
Going on Tour.

The Century Opera Company opened
the last week Of its season last night
with performance Of Donizettl S
Lucia di Lammermoor,' or rather,
since IL was sung IN what purported
10 be English. Lucy OF Lammermoor
Sir Walter Scott would scarcely nave
recognized his masterpiece, Tor tne
very good reason that no one IN the
audience could tell whether the singers
were addressing each other IN Enghsh
or in Esperanto.
Poor Lucy Ashton had enough trou-
BILE in her life without having the
horrors OF a DOnizettian llbretto 10
answer for yet because Of the Sextette
and the Mad Scene the old opera sull
holds the stage and deties the darts OF
criticism and the bombs Of ridicule.
Gaetano Donizetu could turn out tunes
faster than Richard Strauss discords,
and for this very reason Lucia with
all its absurdities, viii surely be sung
when "Elektra" and Der Rosenkaya-
lier" are long forgotten.
Last nights performance was very
creditable one, especially on the part
of Miss Florence Macbeth and Oryllle
Harold Miss Macbeth's fine voice was
displayed to good effect, and she showed
not little schooling IN the art OF
forid song. It was not performance
that will make Patti or Melba or Sem
brich or even Tetrazzini journey to the
Century TO hear, but il was an etfec-
tive performance none the less.
Mr.. Harold was In better voice than
at any time this year, and he gave
the music of the unfortunate Edgardo
with much poignancy OF feeling. The
Ashton Of Louis Kriedler was far from
the same level of excellence. Josiah
EURO led the orchestra with spirit, even
though this particular feat in this par
ticular opera does not call for the
baton of genius.
With this weeks performances OF
Lucia" and "Aida" the Century's sea-
son comes to d close. Milton Aborn
said last night that he hoped the com
panv would open again next year. Dut
that this contingency would depend
largely on the success Of the coming
tour. Mr.. Aborn said that the sale Tor
the opening week in Chicago was very
encouraging, which was not the case
with the size of last nights audience.
