sistent instrumental figure suggestive
Of the trotting of horses runs through
the scene. There are shouts of Hip
halloo!" in which Joan joins. The
Dauphin is hailed joyously, and TO music
of a broad religious character the coro-
nation takes place in the Cathedral at
Rheims. Joan is adored like celestial
being and humbly addresses her king.
Choir music: "Salvum fac regem,"
Gloria" "Benedctus" and "Alleluia."
Joan's dream is delineated in an instru-
mental intermezzo, which is followed
by recital by the Duke Of Alencon OF
her capture. In scene Joan recalls
the divine anguish in the Garden OF
Gethsemane, and her reference to the
cup of sorrow is brought into sharp
contrast with a drinking song sung by
the drunken soldery. She finds com
fort in the voices of the saints and her
guardian angel. The mystery comes to
a conclusion with the scene OF her con-
domination and death. A chorus Of
blessed virgins promises her heavenly
reward and the full chorus pronounces
her apotheosis.

Sill A SECOND PAID
PAVLOWA IN FILMS
dumb Girl of Portici' Earned
Dancer Record Stipend.

When Anna Pavlowa was signed by
the Universal Film Manufacturing
Company for 1.-THE Dumb Girl of Por-
tici" she demanded and received $780,
900 in cash, paid her before the COM
pletion of the picture, and also retained
half interest in the pictures.
There is probably not another star
in the world who is as alert for money
making possibilities as the great Paw
Iowa. She has a manager who attends
to all minor details of her business,
but when 1t Is a question of dollars and
cents she attends to that herself. With
the $4,000 which she received from the
Universal she purchased a half inter-
est in the Boston Opera company.
At the time she signed for her ap-
pearance in "The Dumb Girl of Portici"
Pavlowa was playing at the Midway
Gardens in Chicago, and 1t was neces-
sary for the Universal to lease Sans
Souci Park and there build a studio.
This studio cost the company over $780,
900 and was so situated that Pavlowa
could step from her dressing room in
the theatre. walk twenty PAGES and be
inside the studio in the park.
She was working in the daytime for
the Universal and rehearsing her bal
lets and playing at the Midway Gar
dens at night. 1t was busy time for
Pavlowa, but she was exact and pune
tual. She had her own timekeeper, who
kept track of every minute and second
that she worked for the Universal.
Pavlowa worked practically five
weeks in making "The Dumb Girl OF
Portici" According TO the time sheets
which her timekeeper kept, she worked
from three to five hours a day. She
worked five days each week. five hours
per day. As she received $4,000, this
amounted to $4,000 per week. or $4,000
a day, s400 per hour, or s6666 per
minute, which made Pavlowa's salary
Sill per second. She can now claim
that she received more money per sec
ond for her appearance in motion pict-
ures than the average player receives
per hour.

How Bossi and His Poet
Treated Joan of Arc

an unconscionable amount Of such work
for German music publishers. The
authors do not call il an oratorio, per-
laps because of the dramatic character
of some of the music and the fact that
the singers are named in character.
They call it Mystery in one Prologue
and Three Parts, twelve scenes" 1t
employs ten solo voices, choruses Of
men and women, women and children.
The dramatic characters are these:
oan, soprano; the Archangel Michael,
Duke of Alencon and the Dauphin
Charles, tenors; the Archbishop Of
Rheims and Pierre Cauchon, chief mag
istrate, BASES: the Mayor of Roren;
the voices of Saints Catherine and St.
Margaret, represented either by invlsi-
10 colo singers or small choirs; an An
gel (boy's voice.. The prologue is con-
cerned with a pastoral scene in DOM
remy. A shepherds pipe gives color 70
the music. A double chorus addresses
the shepherd lad and condoles with him
on the Grant conduct of his sheep.
while Joan simultaneously invokes the
song of the nightingale and the May
time. The pastoral music dies away,
indicating the departure OF the coun-
try folk. and the solitary pipe is heard
again. Joan is left alone. The voices
of the saints address her and call her
to her mission. The next scene is by
the enchanted tree. Children sing a
rounde,ay and dance. st. Michael APP
pears to Joan in a vision and distant
chorus of angels pour courage into her
heart. Foes, they tell her, are adj
vancing against France, and she alone
can save her country. She protests her
youthful maidenhood and inexperience,
but is assured that strength will come
10 her with the donning Of her armor.
She accepts her commission and the
angels chant their success as they re-
turn to the celestial regions. This ends
the prologue.
In Part | Joan administers the oath
Of allegiance at Blois t. her captains

scene runs without a pause into mar

coming Of Joan's hosts to Orleans,

The production Of Boss's oratorio
"Joan of Arc" by the Oratorio Society
next Wednesday evening is an incident
of first class Importance in the musical
world. How it loomed up in the mind
of the society's publicity agent is IN
dicated (and perhaps his announce
ment is Characteristic of the present

actiVities) by the statement sent to
the newspapers that there was an IN

subject is French; Nine. Sundellus, the
noted Swedish soprano, creates the title

ductor is German. the chorus is Ameri-
can. As IL to remove the society still
further from suspicion OF mundane
partisanship, the composer gives the
chorus, here and there, parts as angels!
