MUSIC
The New York Symphony

1t was impossible not to be pleased with
Mr.. Walter Damrosch and the concert he
led last night. For the first time this sea-
son the questions of art, of genius and
of music values had relevancy in regard
to him and his orchestra; for the second
time he brought soloist whom Phila-
dephia could i'll afford to spare.
What the influence of a large endowment
can be was shown in the notable improve
ment of individual ana corporate tone
in the Symphony Soclety's orchestra. In
the "oberon" and in the final numbers
there were a fulness of quality and a rich
diversity of color which were surprising
and delightful In the "Mephisto waltz
Mr.. Damrosohs one great genius had
sufficient moment. And throughout the
symphony the ensemble playing, that in
dispensable and elementary thing which
Mr.. Damrosch's men have not always
had, was highly satisfactory.
For the greater part of the program
Mr.. Damrosch controlled both himself
and his men with an equilibrium and
taste which will always seem necessary
to us in an orchestra conductor Only
in the "Mephiso Waltz" the disorganiza-
ton of the players became at moments
of impression nor cleaness of evocation
in the doing of 1t. Here, too, Mr.. Dam
roschs mannerisrns returned 1t is EVIL
dent that he achieves the best results
when he is himself almost suavely disin-
terested.
1t was hard to forgive Miss Teyte her
first number. 1t brought to our ears the
loveliest French accent of this polyglot
season, but who wants French accent
in 1.-THE Magic Flute? Especially as the
coloratura was weakly sung and the
whole aria somewhat unachieved-in the
French sense. What made 1t harder than
ever to condone the aria was the lowell
ness of the songs which followed, Rose
Cherie" and lie NIL" 1t would be a fine
thing for reviewers II Miss Teyte could
not sing; there are so many other things
one would like to write about. But Miss
Teyte can sing wonderfully, and 1t is to
her singing alone that attention must be
directed. Her voice is not of the opera
although she is one of the tenderest and
most appealing OF Minis It is not even
of the salon. 1t Is, in fact, voice which
one could wish always to hear-a thing
impossible to say of most concert-opera-
singing voices. Because, collapse as It
will at certain points, her voice remains
so full of ordinary living sentiment, so
endowed with feeling, so good in tone.
that to hear Ii becomes not an artistic
pleasure alone, but also human expert
ence.
Miss Teyte can sing French chansons
perfectly. So there was some artistic
righteousness in placing after her songs
three folksongs of Britain. A conductor
not unknown to this city, who has ex-
pressed himself unequivocally on the
subject of ragtime led the second volley
of applause after the playing OF molly
on the Shore" Rag or no. 1t was stir
ring stuff. Mr., Damrosch and his men
did well by us TO play Granger so well.

The photoplay is coming into its own.
One producing company announces re-
leases of noted dramatic successes by
such eminent authors as David Belasoo.
Israel zangwlll, Alfred Sutro, c. Haddon
Chambers, Porter Emerson Browne.
Henri Bernstein, Franklyn Fyles, Au-
gusta Evans est. Elmo"), Henry Guy
Carlton Richard Harding Davis, Jose
Ichegary David Graham Phillips and
Frederick Nirdlnger. And the stars who
will play In these plays include Robert
Hilliard, William Farnum, Charles Rich
man. Dorothy Donnelly and Edmund
Breese.
other film producers are utilizing the
talents of Arnold DAILY Marie Doro Max
Figman, Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, Edwin
Arden, Rose Coghlan, Marie Dresser,
Edith Wynne Mathison, Elsie Janis and
many others.
The speaking stage has no better or
diversified roster than this, 1t Is only
a question of now comparatively short
time when the photoplay will rank as
high as the play on the real stage. And
there may yet come time when common
sense censorship will elevate the motion
picture stage to a level commensurate
with its importance as the hfth industry
in the land.
SCENARIO WRITERS. NOTEl
The time has come for plain speaking
It is an absolute waste Of time for the
outsider or amateur to write photoplay
scenarios. There is not one chance in q
thousand that one will be produced. The
writer cent out scenario to three lead
ing producers. The bottom of the sheets
and, the top as well. was pasted together,
making 1t impossible to read unless the
slight adhesion was cut away. The man.
uscript was returned. evidently unread.
with a printed rejection the adhesion not
cut and the original letter accompanying
1t still pinned to the scenario.
As n matter of fact, every producer
has from one to half q dozen expert
scenario writer's. They can produce all
the photoplays needed. So why should
tiVe producer bother about outside mat
ter?
One glaring evil is the so-called Schools
for scenario writer's, which advertise In

not be just to class them ell as swindies,
vet the great majority are mere schemes
TO divide the fool from his money They
should be suppressed.

Two sparrows this week completely
broke up the climax in the big scene Of
Charles Rlein's "The District Attorney"
which the Lubin Company is making into
n photoplay at the studio Not only did
they break IL up, but they kept IL broken
up quite successfully, despite every effort
to capture them.
1.-THE District Attorney" had been prac-
tically completed under the direction Of
Barry O'Nelll. All that was needed to
finish the play was the big climax and
few minor scenes. O'Neill had the set
ready for the big scene. The players,
who included Dorothy Bernard, A. H.
Van Buren, Peter Lang, George Soule
Spencer, Rosetta Brlce, Ruth Bryan and
Charles c. Brandt, had rehearsed the
scene three times. The two camera men
were waiting the signal to crank. Every
thing was in readiness.
Lights" shouted O'Neill. The pow
erful lights dazzled the room. Camera,
yelled the director. Both camera men
started to grind and the acting began.
Then down swooped the two sparrows.
Just grazing Miss Bernard's head. All
the players did small stampede, think
ing the sparrows were bats. O'Neill had
to stop the scene. A few minutes later
the players began again and once again
into the scene swooped the sparrows. II
was indeed a test for tempers, but not
nearly as great n one as when the thing
happened n third time. O'Neill was
forced to wait fully three-quarters Of an
hour while every one in the studio, armed
with various weapons, helped to drive out
the winged interrupters.
