Two releases have just been made of
new photograph records. one Is in the
regular weekly bulletin OF the Edison
Company, which was slightly delayed,
and so was not noted in last weeks de-
partment; the other is the special release
of the Columbia Company. All of the
records of both companies are double
face.
ON the Edison list is another accordion
record. from the playing of =. Frosini.
The accordion has come into great favor
among reCord-makers recently, and the
players they have discovered. including
Frosini and PietrO seem TO justify the
claims made for this instrument, which
has been under a cloud for many years.
The new Edison record is of two pieces,
Thru the Park" a march, and Echoes
from the Movies a medley of the pieces
usually played when the figures fit across
the cinema screen. Frank y. Doyle sings
two tenor solos from The Heart Of
Paddy Whack," which was seen and
heard at the Walnut not long ago, For
dancing there are two records, one Of
% The Skating Trot" Cone-stepJ and "Oper-
attic Rag" (two-stepJ the other OF The
Carnival One-Step" and "Millicent" Chesi-
tation waltz. Two popular songs on one
record are "Tip-Top Tipperary Mary" and
The Little Ford Rambled Right Along"
the latter sung by Billy Murray.
Tho new records of the Columbia Com
pany are of the same variety. The pop
ular songs chosen are ~ Want to Go to
Toxic" in duet, with "All for the Love
of a Girl" in quartet; and on a second
record tenor solos of Don't Take My
Darling Boy Away" a war song, with
Virginia Lee. There are two dances
on one record, 81 Wonder What viii
William Tell" and ~ Want to Go to
Toxic again. Two records of sacred
songs are also on the list. The first has
I'm a Pilgrim" by a quintet. with a
quartet in Lift Up Your Heads" The
second has a baritone duet of
Beautiful City" and tenor solo, MY
Task"

About Prices

When the talk turns to records and
what are considered exorbitant prices
it is not often that people make satis-
factory comparisons. You can compare
a dollar record with a fiVe-dollar record
TO great advantage but you cannot COM
pare a tive-doliar record with a jitney
bus. The fact that motorCars have come
down is, in itself, no argument for cheap
records. A truer standard of comparison
is with the scale of opera prices. because
most OF the singers whose records cost
very much are with the opera companies
of this country or OF the countries abroad
So II is interesting TO note that Robert
Grau recently computed the cost OF pre-
senting opera and found that il had
risen something like 500 per cent during
the last 80 years. The cost OF presenting
opera I'm 1870 in New York was $4,000 a
week according to Mr.. Grau's statement
quoted in the Edison Phonograph Month
ly). This year the cost Of the Metro
politan IS considerably in excess OF
10000 (This statement, by the way, Is
verified by a remark of member Of the
Metropolitan forces, who told the editor
OF this department that the cost Of rais-
ing the curtain on a normal opera was
about 5000 in New York and $4,000 In

Philadelphia.) Now, consider that the
| artists whose enormous salaries are re-
Sponsible for these prices are the very
ones whose records are so expensive and
you begin TO see the why and wherefor
But If you think these prices are eX-
cessive, there is one thing you can do
with a great deal of satisfaction. That
is, find among the cheaper records, which
every company puts out, some real gems
of music. Just as a hint, 1t may be
noted that the records made by Julia
Culp Cor some of them, at leasD sell
at price Which is ridiCulously low for
the work of the finest lieder singer living.
Miss Culp sings number of songs which
are sung also by much higher-priced
artists, Yet to the discriminating ear her
singing Is the finest of them all. And so
on. AS has been said before, the possi-
hlities in phonograph grow by geo.
mctrical progression, and so far there
seems to be no end in sight
A Mosaic Roll
For the man who loves music but who
the bad habit of straIning his attention

TO charm him back to the best music
such man may like one movement of
the "Pathetique" symphony of Tschal-
kowsky. Yet he may not like the others,
and he may be simply bored by having to
sit through them. 1t has been estimated
that not more than 10 per cent. of those
who sit through a symphony concert last
ing about an hour and half really enjoy
more than the first 30 minutes of playing
ct they stay, because somewhere, per-

composers were compelled to rub elbows.)
Fourteen composers at least have been

Naked truth is never palatable. Hypo-
critics of both sexes and all ages have
reviled and spurned truth. And truth is
ever elusive-a will-o Observation-Disclosures
bic. yet ever potent.
That is the basic foundation of "Hypo-
critics" shown yesterday at the Globe
Theatre. "Hypocrites" Is an allegory-
a motion picture "Everywoman'-orig
in conception, daring in execution and
splendid in its pantomime And here be
1t said and, as becomes the subject, truth
fully. there is nothing in the film from
beginning to end to offend even the most
fastldious. 1t is true that for certain
souls the human figure has untold hor-
rors. For them "Hypocrites" may have
something unholy in store But for the
healthy mind, in the eXquisitely dainty
and refined Truth as portrayed by Miss
Edwards there can be nothing to which
exception may be taken.
AS a matter of honest criticism, the only
objection lies in the at times defective
camera work, with foreshortened views.
The plot itself is clean and forcible and
teaches lesson rs powerful as that pro-
claimed from many pulpit Gabriel, the
ascetic seeks truth and finally chisels her
from marble. He dies at the hands of the
maddened populace for having depicted
Truth as a nude woman. Then comes the
play.
Gabriel Is shown as the minister of a
present-d day church. He Is seen deliver
ing a passionate sermon, denouncing hy-
pocrIsy, but he is aware of the fact that
his words have been in vain. In the con-
gregation are the same people who, in
the prologue, killed theGmonk. With the
exception of two girls the congregation is
either bored or shocked by his sermon.
These two remain long after the others
have left. One is a choirgirl who loves
the minister, and other Is n Magdalen.
The minister finds n Sunday paper
which one of his chorboys has been read
ing during the sermon, and falls into a
dream. He becomes the old Gabriel and
meets Truth who. through her mirror,
shows him the hypocrisy to be found in
society, the home, the love affair, politics.
and even shows him the one person who
tried to reach the gates of Truth did so
only through love for him. Then he dies.
So far as the acting is concerned only
praise may be bestowed. Courtney Foote
as Gabriel played with repression and dig
nifty. At all times he handled his role
with reverence Margaret Edwards es-
sayed the difficult role of Truth. That
she accomplished the onerous task of not
offending is the best praise for her con-
ception of the vision-for such she was all

GET FACTS, THEN ACT.

The opinion has been expressed that this country is not disposed to pay as much attention to the manner in which the Italian steamship Ancona was torpedoed and the lives of its pas sengers, including subjects of this country, sacrificed, as it did in the case of the Lusitania and the Arabic. Whether there is any justice in such a claim remains to be seen, but the fact that representation of the posi- ton or demands of this country for disavowal of the act or restitution has not been made is not sufficient grounds for such a statement.
 In the case of the Ancona as well as in those of the other ships which have been sunk without justification there is absolute need of getting the facts as they exist. It is necessary to know as near as possible just what oc- cured that day in the Mediterranean when the Ancona was attacked, and it is necessary to sift the claims which have been made by both sides in or der to get at those facts.
 The Austrian statement attempts to exonerate the submarine commander from all blame, but an entirely differ ent situation IS presented by the dec larations of the New York woman and the captain of the vessel, both of whom agree that the submarine kept she'll ing the ship after it had begun to put out lffeboats and that such acts re- suited in the sacrifice of many lives. Such being the case there is just as much reason for holding Austria to strict accountability as there was Germany in its conduct of submarine warfare, and the delay in setting forth our position should not exceed the entertainment of the facts. We can not overlook the disregard of inter national law in one case more than in the other.

of venixelos, who was then premier and whose action was supported by the vote of confidence passed by the chamber of deputies. troops were sent into and across Greece to render such assistance as they could in holding back the attack of the Bulgars. This was all done under Greece's benevo- lent neutrality. an attitude which de- clared sympathy for the allies without actually participating. With the ad- vance of the forces of the central pow CTS it is necessary to know what Greece is going to do in case the re- treat forces the allied forces back onto Greek territory and 1t is necessary to know before the time for such retreat actually arrives.
 The blockade means much to Greece. It is a preliminary step to a war block ade unless Greece holds to its benevo- lent neutrality, the need of an under standing of the terms of which has called for the present action

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

"Koprili, which has been the vor- tex of the rapid battles fought in southern Servia between the Bulgar- ians and the Servian, French and Eng fish allies, is described as follows in the latest sketch on war geography issued by the National Geographic Society:
 "Koprili dominates the Vardar River valley and guards the way to Mon astir, the last Servian city and strong hold. It is situated on the upper middle part of the Vardar's course. in whorl of ragged mountains. The Salonid-MitrovitZa railway passes through the town, and. with a short branch line from Saloniki through means of rail communication with the outside world remaining to Ser via. Koprili is, thus, a town of great strategic importance; for its possess sion by the Allies keeps the way open for a re-occupation by them of Ser via.
 '.The valley in which the city lies is a narrow one, and on every side, for miles around, stretch broken noun tain lines. The roads through this region are little more than miserable tracks through forest tangles and over rock -strewu hillsides. The best way in this country follows the rivers course, parallel with the railway, from Uskup, 25 miles northwest of Koprili, across the boundary in Gre clan Macedonia
 "Servia acquired possession of Koprili after the war of the Balkan League against the Ottoman Empire in 1912. Before the transfer of the citys allegiance. it was a hotbed of | Servian, Bulgarian and Grecian na- | tionallsm- propaganda. The city had a population of about 24,00 at the out break of the war, and was developing a brisk trade in silk. Mulberries and corn were the chief products of the valley around, and commerce in these
 articles brought Kopriu most of iti | income"

LANDS OF OPPORTUNITY.

The question has been frequently raised as to what is going 10 follow the closing of the war. This has been asked with particular reference to the immigration question and prompted by the conditions which are already dis closed in the countries across the wa ter and which indicate what can be expected for a long term of years after peace has been signed.
 The United States is always re- ferred to as the land of opportunity and such 1t has proved to millions of people who have come to these shores from Europe. It will continue to re-
 main so for millions more, but figures which are available as to the immigra- ton records of other republics on this side of the Atlantic prove conclusive ly that this does not offer the only chance for betterment even though it may furnish the best.
 While records show that practically ten million people have recognized the opportunities of the United States in the past decade and come here to avail themselves of them, there have been large numbers who have been attracted by the advantages offered in Canada, Argentina and Brazil. More than a million Spaniards have gone to Ar gentina in the past ten years and near ly a million Italians. In Brazil the Portuguese are the leaders with the Spaniards second and the Italians third, while Canada has drawn from various sections of Europe and many have gone there from the United States. These people have done much l to build up these respective countries and immigrants following the war are | likely to be divided in about the same way when it comes to selecting a new country to locate in.

 Owing to the attitude of King Con- btant:nc the allies stand in a perilous position. In the first place Greece lepudieted its treaty which called for he sending of aid to Servia in case of lttaclx.. Following that by invitation

WAR, PROTECTION, GOOD TIMES.

Particular attention is directed at this time to the activity which exists among the textile industries of the country. Everywhere there is good business and additions to take care of more which appears to be in sight. It is a welcome sign when such indus tries are branching out and it, is quite in contrast to what was indicated be- fore the breaking out of the war in Europe.
 That better business in this line is due to the trouble among foreign na- tions is as apparent as 1t is that fac tories which are turning out munitions of war are busy for that very same reason This country has experienced a shutting off of foreign production because the industries of those coun- tries are restricting themselves to home conditions and those in this country are free from that conpeti- tion which involves much different working conditions and cheap labor.
 The democratic tariff as soon as it went into effect produced a slump in the industrial activity of this country which was felt from coast to coast. There was an uncertainty which prom ised much harm. Business was de- -moralized in exactly the manner that it was expected it would be. The open ing of the war operated to give the business of this country a protection similar to that which was furnished by the republican tariff European competition was cut off and today's situation with the mills humming and everyone busy is one of the best bits of evidence that what this country needs is the discarding of free trade ideas and the maintenance of tariff which will insure good times and prosperity after the protection which the war is furnishing has been re- moved, since it is the war acting as a protective tariff which has been the means of getting LIS back to republi- can times

DIMMINe HEADLIGHTS.

Wherever there is an effort made to overcome the great highway dan ger of powerful headlights the en- deavor calls for commendation, and though the recognition on the part of the autoists of the necessity of bring ing relief to the situation by their own actions applies as yet to only a small percentage of those who maintain strong and unnecessary lights, every little progress indicates that an inn provement is being made.
 The glaring headlights are being chang,>d in various ways. Some driv- CTS are considerate to the point that when other machines are discerned coming towards them, or when pedes- trians or other vehicles are met head on they shut off the searchlights which are so blinding to the eyes. Others do away with the danger a1- together by abandoning the dazzling lights and maintain only those which comply with the law and which insure them of safe travel. Not few have had the lights so tipped that the rays are projected downward instead of horizontally ahead which effectively lights the roadway, but protects those who are approaching from the oppo- accomplishing the same thing is the use of ground glass in the top half of the headlight
 Such efforts manifest the proper re- gard for the comfort and safety of all on the public highway. It is nc more consideration, however. than everyone is entitled to and the quicker all autoists become interested in con- tributing to safety in such a manner the quicker the number of automobile accidents will be lessened from thai cause.
