FRENCH PLAY REVEALS
NEW COMEDY ACTRESS
Mile. Greuze Appears in Petite
Peste" at the Theatre Francois.

An actress Of singular beauty and
charm made her first appearance on
the New York stage at the Theatre
Franeais last night in the person OF
Mile. Lillian Greuze. The stage name
is deftly descriptive, as will become
apparent IL In the course Of the season
the organization OF which she is the
principal figure offers pre-Revolu-
tionary French comedy. In Petite
Psste," an ultra modern Partisan farce
comedy, Mile. Greuze displayed her
varied talents TO the delight Of her
audience, witnessing and interrupting
c Irritation which promised 70 end bad
~ for both the parties concerned by
making violent love TO typical Don
Juan OF the boulevards, taking care
the while not to discourage too COM
pletely the none too ardent wooer she
herself fancied. and giving period cal
shocks TO an already indulgent father
BY well-timed references TO his rels-
tons with a felicitously name ia
pruneau." Mile. Greuze has comedy
powers OF an almost exceptional sort
for her years, and wears gowns OF re-
cent arrival from the Rue de la Paix.
The supporting company is OF a
higher average of excellence than that
attained by the Theatre Franeais last
season. The sonorous yet perfectly
modulated voice Of Claude Benedict
would lend distinction to any produc-
ton. NJ. Benedict last night had a part
after his own heart and after the
hearts OF his audience. Raymond
Faure and Mile. Renee Davennes also
reappear to advantage, other roles be-
ing capably filed by Georges Saulieu.
Paul Cerny and Mile Guerande.

TWO ADMIRABLE
RECITALS OF SONGS
Music Old and New by Miss
Miller and Mr.. WitherspoOn.

There were song recitals simultane-
ously in Aeolan and Carnegie Halls
yesterday. In the former Miss Christine
Miller. contralto, was the singer; in the
latter, Herbert Witherspoon. Both.
after familiar classics, made gleanings
in the literature OF to-day, stopping for
a considerable space with Hugo Wolf,
who, if some rather excitable and not
altogether critical people have their
way, will supplant Brahms in the affec-
tions of the lovers of German song.
The danger is neither threatening nor
imminent, and intelligent people with
well balanced minds and sound taste
will probably keep on enjoying the
good things Of both; as the two audi
ences did yesterday so far as it was
possible FOR one hearer TO judge.
Miss Miller began with Bach. Mr.
Witherspoon with Handel; both then
switched to Beethoven, whose best
songs will not suffer from little neg
lect in this nervous day. The time is
not attuned TO them any more than il
is TO the best of Schubert or Brahms.
AS for Bach, he must be approached in
an attitude which only the choice
spirits among our artists are capable
of assuming. When Miss Miller hut-
tered gaily upon the platform yester-
day il seemed sure that she was about
10 give US something from the last
Broadway review. After a few mo-
ments the realization came that she
was singing "Mein Glaubiges Here"
from the cantata written for Pentecost:
but it came as a surprise. She sang
81 L. t..I 4
creasing sincerity of manner, gave real
pleasure and excited genuine admirs-
tion for her art, which has nothing
mean or ignoble about ii, though IL is
capable of still greater elevation.
But the naive ecstasy of Beethoven's
"Die Trommel geruhret" from the
music to "Egmont" is yet foreign to
her. IL is not TO be learned out OF a
volume OF songs, but must be studied
in Goethe's tragedy. For 1t, however,
and for many larger things, Miss Mill
Ter has the requisite emotional and
vocal material. The Wolf songs on
Miss MilIer's list were "Zur Ruiz In
der Fruhe." "Elfenlied," "Nimmersatte
Lieber," "Der Feuerreiter" and Mig
non."
Mr.. witherspoon Is becoming more
and more an admirable song singer IA
he sloughs off some Of his affecta-
tions and learns 10 choose with care.

MARCULIES TRIO
PLAY NEW SONATA
Composition by Melartin Given
First American Performance.

The Adele Margulies Trio. at the hrst
concert Of the season last night in
Aeolian Hall brought out work new
20 New York. a Sonata for Violin and
Piano in E major by Erkki Melartin.
1t is not every new composition that
at first hearing creates such fsvora-
te impression as this work. II con-
Germs itself little with modern har-
monies; il does not set ones teeth on
edge, nor stray into realms OF per-
fumed impotence. II is straightfor-
ward. simple composition of marked
and haunting rhythms and not lit
tie melodic beauty.
Mr.. Melartin is Finn and was born
in Helsingfors in 1875. He is thus still
a young man, and his sonata last night
proved TO possess strongly national
features. The last movement of the
sonata was omitted by Miss Margulies
and Mr.. Lichtenberg The other num-
bers were the Schubert Trio in b fat.
Op. 90, and the Smetana Trio in G
minor, OPP. IL. The audience was UNI
usually large.
