During the Christmas Day truce we

They were American-made-just or-

far behind our lines, was also pre-

from the North sea almost to Switzer-

broke out the most terrific cannOnad-

Everything that the Germans could
shoot was shooting. Horns were blow

sky was bright. Far away cannon

We ran for our guns, thinking that

GOOD SEATS AT
THE BRAMHALL
Room for the Knees in
Playhouse of Young
Mr.. Davenport.
By HAYWOOD BROUN.

The seats at the Bramhall Playhouse
are the best in any New York theatre.
So much room has been allowed for
the knees Of the spectator that it is
possible for him TO go out while the
performance is in progrees without UNI
duly disturbing any other persons in
the same row. Later it will be still
easier.
Leaving the Bramhall Playhouse is
the most pleasant sensation we have
had this season. There is no necessity
of waiting for an opening. While the
present bill is in progress one may
leave at any time. Ii will be an exit or
no regrets.
The Bramhall Playhouse has room
for slightly more than 200 persons.
To see a play in such tiny theatre
gives one the impression of watching
motion picture which is all close-upS
1t emphasizes the trivial nature OF the
drama. and the triviality OF the two
plays produced last night needs no such
stress.
After watching "The Courtship Of
Tomorrow" we felt
as ii we had spent an entire afternoon
devouring a chocolate sundae. The
Depths of Purity" convinced us that 1t
was nut sundae.
The first play, written by Anna
Wynne, concerns itself with three pict-
ures Of courtship. The first Is in 1886.
the second in 1915 and the third in
2Ol5. IL is mild and soporitic, but But
Ter Davenport in "The Depths Of
Purity" has murdered sleep. His one
act drama is exceedingly tiresome, pc
culiarly unpleasant and altogether in
ept.
Purporting to be a study of the sex
uaI relations of degraded Italian fam
lily, THE Depths of Purity is played
in terms of melodrama and written IN
the stilted language of artificial COM
edy. When realism is not real it's
rotten.
Somebody should spank young Butler

Gary Plan Needed Here,
Prendergast Declares

Declaring that the Gary plan or an
other radical reform was needed TO in
crease the efficiency of the city's school
system, Controller William A. Prender-
CAST answered the questions of public
school teachers in a letter TO DR.. David
II. Holmes, president of the Teachers
League. made public yesterday.
Concerning the motives Of assailants
OF the schools. the Controller replied
that he knew OF no one attacking them.
The wording Of the question. he con-
tnued. indicated that the schools should
rot be criticised, while to his mind in
telligent criticism was the one road to
true educational progress. Among the
Questions asked and the Controllers
answers arc the following:
Why do you insinuate that teachers
claim to be a privileged class? Because
they have demanded special privileges.
They went to Albany and through
lobbying caused laws TO be enacted
raising their own salaries. They have
sought TO establish their own rate Of
pay, regardless of the city's finances
and the relative value Of teaching and
other service.
Why should taxpayers interests pre-
dominate in our city administration!
Taxpayers interests do not predoml-
nate in the city administration. az is
shown by the fact that the taxpayers
arc constantly organizing to protect
themselves against the exactions Of the
city government.
How do you know the Gary system
will work in this city? If the principle
is sound, 1t is equally applicable to
New York City, provided, OF course,
that due nsideration be given TO the
different conditions and circumstances
which exist here. II would reduce the
per capita cost OF education in this city.
and there is nothing to prevent putting
1t into operation in many of the more
modern buildings Immediately.
What are your reasons for opposing
the legal increase in the salary of pro-
NOTED teachers? | recommended that
no provision be made, either through
the issue of special revenue bonds or
in the budget for 1916, for the formal
promotion of teachers temporarily en-
ployed in the grades of the seventh and
eighth years on assignments from the
GRADES of the first six years. because
believe that all such promotions should
be held in allegiance until certain
changes looking to a closer relation be-
tween the elementary and high schools
which are now under consideration
have been fully determined upon.
The Controller also expressed him
self as favoring curtailing eXpend lures
for public lectures and a small Board
of Education, and opposed 70 teachers
employed at annual rates being clis-
iblc for additional compensation for
extra work.

BORIS GODOUNOW
SUNG AT OPERA
MOussOrgsky Work at MetropOI.
itan with AdamO Didur
and Usual Cast.

Moussorgsky's Boris Godounow" Is
evidently to take its just place in the
repertory of the Metropolitan Opera
House. This year it has been chosen
for the second opera of the season;
sometime, when Mr.. Caruso has passed
beyond our operate ken, it may even
be chosen for the first. In his intro
duction to "Musiciens d'Autrefois,"
Roman ROLAND writes. in discussing
the opera Of the latter half Of
the last century: "While one side
of contemporary music used the
wonderful means at hand that had been
elaborated by nineteenth century
geniuses in painting the subtle soul Of
a decadent society, on the other side
were the signs of popular movement,
which was giving fresh life to art by
seeking inspiration from popular
melodies and by translating into music
popular feelings-among the earlier
protagonists of which were Bizet and
Moussorgsky." This movement is, in
deed, as Mr.. ROLAND continues, still
a little timid and uncertain; though
Louise" comes at once 10 mind as an
example of democratic opera-that it
exists at all is surely significant.
Opera has been in the past a purely
aristocratic amusement, and it is
largely such to-day. Moreover, il is
entirely such in the English speaking
nations, as has been evidenced only re-
Gently by the failure of the Century
Opera Company. Opera Of the people,
for the people, is in America the dream
of number of we'll meaning idealists
Democracy has found its art, as far as
America is concerned, in the movies
And as for democratic opera, has it not
Miss Farrar in her film Carmen?
Yet a truly democratic opera was
presented last night at the Metro
politan. "Boris Godounow" is, as Mr.
ROLAND has written, inspired by popu-
lar melodies and expressive of popular
feeling, and last night New York's aris-
tocracy, both social and musical, drank
deep at the spring of Russian democ-
racy. The people themselves ap-
parently were oblivious to the call Of
their champion. The same faces that
are seen always at presentations Of OPP
cratic masterpieces were there; the
audience was not as large as it would
have been at performance of "Pagli-
acct"
The performance was an excel ant
one. Adamo Didur as the tortured
Car reaches heights of dramatic
power which place him among the
great singing actors of our time. He
was at his best, both vocally and his
ironically, last night. Mr.. Segurola

( The value Of the Gary plan to New

Mr.. Wulfing said there was no res-

ties in Gary told the pastors of the

would be sent there from school 9th

In Gary. according to Mr.. Wulfing.
child is permitted TO do the kind Of
industrial work he naturally likes.
There is no suei thing as fixed
schedule which compels the pupil to do
foundry work one term and shop work
in the next. The industrial courses
present q wide field for choice. The
teachers are in sympathy with the plan,
Mr.. Wulfing said, and 1t broadens their
work by giving them variety OF eX-
periences. which teacher in an ordl-
nary classroom would never get.
Mr.. Nudd said that the Gary plan
tional opportunities for New York chill
dren. He pointed out that the New
York Fairgrounds are closed to the
children from o'clock in the morning
until 3 in the afternoon, and that any
child found on a playground is ar
rested by the truant officer. He added
that the Fairgrounds are the main
cause of truancy at present, because
the boys go there during school hours
to play ball while there is room,
whereas the Gary plan would keep the
Fairgrounds in use throughout the day,
and they would be less crowded.
1.-TWO years ago the Board Of Educa-
ton estimated that from forty to fifty
million dollars would be needed for
new school buildings" concluded Mr.
Nudd, "if the part time problem was
TO be solved New York doesn't need
the new buildings, but shops, play
grounds and swimming pools, which,
under the Gary plan. would solve the
problem Of part time, and which
would cost but 100000.
