B. F.. KEITH'S

Just how far the song and dance ~

to make possible the modern vaudeville
bill is we'll demonstrated In the manner
Grace La Rue. songstress out-of-the-or-
dinary, and Clifton Webb and Gloria

attractions this week at Keith's
Instead Of whining a few combina-
tions of simple harmony to the accom-
paniment of what are supposed to be
explanatory swaying of the body, as
the old-time performer was accustomed
to do 1t, Miss La Rue secures a real
idea in music and interprets ii with real
vocal ability. The words are almost un-
necessary, as her method of singing and
the action she puts into her WORK tell
fully the meanings she wishes to con-
vey. Charles GiIlen, the accompanist,
is big factor In Miss La Rue's sue
Webb and Goodwin demonstrate lust
how the so-called modern dance move

the Jumping, hopping gyrations of so
grace, form, and rhythmic expressive
ness. Miss Goodwin imparts an atmos-
phere of joyous youth to her work that
means much in making her audience un-
derstand just what the intricate steps
are supposed to mean. In their several
numbers the dancers had the advantage
of excellent music by a section of the
original Russian balalaika orchestra.
A third feature of the Keith bill that
was thoroughly enjoyed by yesterdays
audiences was Leo Carrillo, who tells
stories and gives limitations. The bill
opened with Valentine and Bell in a

HIGHER COST OF EDUCATION

A list of twenty of the most i'm
portant colleges and universities
has been printed with figures to
show the extent to which tuition
fees have been advanced very re-
Gently in order to keep pace with
the cost of conducting the institu-
tions. State and private institutions
alike have been compelled to in
crease their fees for the same rea-
son.
Considering the vast amounts of
gifts and benefactions that have
been poured into the treasures of
the great schools, this advance in
the students costs will at first
glance seem strange. But it is in
fact largely due to those same bene-
factions, which have too often been
directed to purposes that added to
the expense of general maintenance.
For instance, man of wealth, de-
string to give something to his uni
versity that shall perpetuate his
name, endows department for the
study of some special subject, or
gives his money with the condition
that it shall be devoted to that sub
ject. The university accepts, equips
itself to do the specified work, and
finds that it's running expenses are
increased beyond the returns from
the endowment. This is almost al
ways the case, according to univer-
sity financial officers. The man who
gives a college a library building
or an auditorium does not realize
that he is requiring the institution
to increase its maintenance costs,
and get the money, in most cases,
from other sources.
What the colleges need is more
general endowment and fewer spe-
cial endowment funds. The people
in general charge of great institu-
tion ought to control their whole
scheme of organization; to be free
to balance their curriculum, to do
the sort of work that they believe
will on the whole make the best
rounded establishment for real edu-
cational work. The whole symmetry
of a university may be pulled askew
by reason of the we'll meant but un-
wisely directed philanthropy of a
group of rich men who dictate what
shall be taught, and compel the de-
votion of extra costs in educational
trimmings. In the end their efforts
to popularize the higher education
are made TO increase its expense
and add to financial difficulties

By the MARQUIS DE CHAMBRUN.

One OF the characteristics OF the
present war is the propaganda made
by belligerent nations in neutral
countries. through publicity and by
various means, in view Of enlisting
sympathy and gaining moral sup
port. Why, then, have we refrain
ed from sending propagandists to
America for the purpose OF influence
ing public opinion in favor Of the
allies? The answer Is simple. We
rely on the justice of our cause.
We have full confidence in the clear
sightedness OF the American people.
1t is, indeed. difficult for us to
separate the United States from the
cause Of liberty. When France first
learned Of the struggle for American
independence, her heart was enlist
ed and our government was soon
obliged to follow the popular feeling
aroused by the departure Of La
fayette, who had spontaneously gone
over to fight for the American colon
les In open rebellion. Thus the just
cause Of your independence had
awakened in France an irresistible
national feeling.
IN t1t Illnu ol 'ho
great prestige of the United States
abroad still rests on the freedom or
her institutions. on the recognized
worth of her Constitution, even more
than on her great material prosper

SOME CRITICISMS
AND SUGGESTIONS

a pity that records can not be made
of some Of those splendid songs,to pc
used on the vfctrolas. Both Clarks..
burg and Salem have quartets, ana.
perhaps whole choirs that could pro-
duce records that would meet q
ready sale at good prices.
Billy Murray's musical records
are all right Tor the mirth loving
world, but his sacred songs are not
satisfying to the spiritual minded,
his voice being coarse and rough and
out of harmony with the sentiment
of the song. Then Murray presumes
to make some alterations ~ the old
songs that do not improve them.
Let our Old sacred and patriotic
songs be preserved as they were
handed down to us by their authors.
Solos are all right If the voice is
clear and soft, but save me from the
solofst whose voice is trained to re-,
semble croaking frog, or the
squeaIfng Of a screech owl. spelling
both the sentiment and the melody
of the song.
