KENTUCKY MOUNTAIN
BALLADRY REVEALED
Miss Lorraine Wyman Sings Some
Lonesome Tunes"

Much has been said in The Tribune
about the relics of old English bal
ladry which have survived among the
mountaineers of Kentucky. Virginia,
Tennessee and the Caroi.nas. Until
last spring and early summer, when
the Edith Rubel Trio played arrange
ments Of some Of the ballad tunes. and
The Tribune printed dozen or more
Of them and discussed their history,
the study which had been devoted 90
them was chiefly literary and almost
wholly confined 20 the pages Of the
Journal Of the American FOLKLORE
Society.
There has now been a sudden irruD-
ton Of interest in these ballads m ar
tistic circles. and as Miss Ru0el had
already carried the music into the con-
cert room. so Miss Lorraine Nyman
and Mr.. Howard BrocSwav are pre-
senting the songs In their integrity
in their integrity and a little more.
for Mr. BrockWav has decked out o
score or more Of them with pianoforte
accompaniments and thus made them

On Saturday evening Mr.. Cecil j..
Sharp told OF HIS experiences m gath
ering the ballads 70 a little company
Of music-lovers in Mr.. Arthur Whit
ing's studio, and yesterdays Tribune
spoke Of the amazing wealth Of ma
terial which he had discovered "a
wealth much greater than the folk
song collectors Of England have sue
ceeded in unearJhing IN the original
home Of the ballad.
In the Cort Theatre last night Miss
Wyman and Mr.. Brockway IN a fasci-
ratingly interesting entertainment:
made an exposition of the results OF
their investigations in the Pine Noun
tain region Of Kentucky. Miss Wy
man sang a dozen songs, the major
ity Of them variants OF familiar Eng,
Esh ballads. which had been carried
into the mountains by the followers or

manner in which one of the songs was

Miss Wyman exhibited a "dulci-

MUSICAL POT
BOILS MERELY
Pianists and Singers Fur
nish Plenty of Fuel
at Concerts

The musical pot boiled merrily yes
terday. There was plenty Of fuel. In
the afternoon the Misses Sutro gave
recital for two pianos 20 a large audi
ence in Carnegie Hall. Recitals for
two pianos are not overcommon, though
the same artists have appeared here
before.
The Offering yesterday brought out
two Ms. pieces by Pierre Maurice and
dull and empty sonata by Richard
Doessler. The Misses Sutro displayed
a good deal Of perfection Of ensemble,
out with a tone that was az times
muddy. They evidently pleased the au-
dIence.
In the evening Max Sanders pre-
sented the first of a series of Sunday
night musicals az the Harris Theatre
This concert was well worth n larger
audience than the one which attended,
and Mr.. Sanders may be congratulated
upon furnishing an unusually interest
ing programme. In the first place, the
Barrere Ensemble. always an 0rganiZa-
ton of high artistic merit. played
Haydn's "Ottelo" and MacDowells
Woodland Sketches" and then Mr..
Lester Donohue, one Of the finest OF
our younger pianists, played with pro
digious technical resource several short
pieces, including Dohnonji's Rhapsodie
in c major and Debussy's "Replets
dams Peau."
Gustave Ferrari, a composer unknown
20 America, accompanied Nine. Pauline
Donalda in a group Of his own songs
songs which proved unusually inter-
esting and which struck a distinctly
individual note. They lacked perhaps
somewhat in variety of mood. but they
ought 20 be a welcome addition to the
songs Of present day composers. Nine.
Donalda sang in addition a group Of
songs by A. Walter Kramer, some Of
which had been hard before.
At Carnegie Hall the evening was
devoted 10 a concert given by George
Dorstal, tenor, assisted by Hans
Kronold, 'cellist; Mary Warfel, harp
ist. and a string quartet. The hall
was well filed. Dorstal, in some Of his
songs, had considerable trouble with
the pitch, but he was warmly ap-
plauded.

Girl of Five Personalities
Cured by Invisible" Psychic
Clairvoyant Unseen by Patient, Helps in Remedy Ac-
complished in Four Years-Knowledge Gained May
Affect Treatment of Insane Persons

Details % a remarkable case OF null
tiple personality. which Psychologists
call epcch-making, have been made pub
lie by the American Society for Psychi-
cal Research in three-volume report
just published. The case was that Of a
girl who manifested five different per-
sonalit.es, but was completely cured IN
about four years.
The society's report asserts that the
scientific knowledge gained from ex-
periments with this case is Of great
practical value, and may have a marked
effect on the future methods Of treat
ment Of persons diagnosed as incurably
insane. The experiments are declared
the most important made by any So
ciety FOR psychical research.
A striking feature Of the case, from
scientific point Of view, is that it marks
the discovery Of new method OF get
ting at what is going on in the brain Of
victims Of dual personality, even when
the external evidences Of such phenom-
ena are slight.
Psychics' Aid Employed
The society has accomplished this by
employing the aid Of psychics, who are
rot allowed 70 see or know anything
about the subject Of the experiment
The result is said 70 have thrown new
light on phenomena which have long
perplexed all scientific students.
The girl, Doris, the subject Of the
society's report, was thrown to the floor
By her drunken father when she was
three and a half years old. Soon after
her dual personalities began 70 mani
fest themselves. Her mother did not
understand her but gradually learned
she was subject 20 strange and in
applicable changes of character and
conduct. II was after her mothers
death. when Doris was seventeen, how
ever. that the FIVE personalities con-
trolling her became strongly manifest.
To protect the girl from her fathers
brutalities, DR.. Walter F. Prince, a
clergyman. adopted her. Realizing that
her case presented an unusual psyche
logical problem, he made a study Of
her. and subsequently brought her 70
the attention of DR.. James II. Hyslop,

By this time names we're given the
three principal personalities controlling
the girl, which had become strongly
manifest. They were called Margaret,
Sleeping Margaret and Sick Doris.
Sleeping Margaret was all her name
implied. and when she was dominant
the girl could scarcely be aroused from
her heavy slum5ers. When Sick DORIS
was supreme. the girl became seem
ingly partly paralyzed. weak, Ill and
possessed Of a melancholy disposition.
Her actions and manners were those OF
a small child.
