FOLkSONG MELODIES
HEARD IN CONCERT
Edith Rubel Trio Introduces New
Musical Feature.
By II. =. kREHBIEL.

How delightful corcert Of folk
songs could be made was demonstrated
several years ago by Nine. Sembrieh,
who, beginning with a single group OF
songs from different peoples, finally
devoted an entire recital to over a
score Of such songs sung in the Ian
guages Of the people who had created
them. The great singers example has
been widely followed since and last
night the Edith Rubel Trio gave new
phase TO the movement.
At concert in the Princess Theatre
the Trio, which is composed OF the
Misses Edith Rubel, violin; Vera Poppe,
violoncelo, and Brenda Putnam, piano
forte, played arrangements OF no less
than twenty-seven folk-tunes selected
from the musical literatures OF seven
teen nations.
Texts and melodies Of folksongs are
intimately associated and ought not 20
be separated II the best interests OF
art are to be served. but as it is pos
sible to enjoy ballads in the mere
reading. 80 also it is possible 10 enjoy
their music aside from the texts.
The development of national schools
of composition which has been wide
and rapid during the last few decades
bears witness 20 that fact. In a
larger degree than the words the melo-
dies reflect the soul-life Of the different
people of the world and their inter-
vallic and rhythmical idioms exert a
charm quite independent of the stories
which the old songs and ballads tell.
The admirable young artists, how
ever. we're not quite coatent 20 let the
melodies, pleasantly arranged for their
combination Of instruments by Will
lam Lyndon Wright, stand alone, but
enlisted Mr.. Wright to say something
about their history and character and
/ ne performed the task in a pleasantly
/ informal but interesting manner Miss
/ Rubel also contributed an snecdote
about one of the American negro tunes
! ("Dandy Jim of Caroline") and quoted
I the texts of the four traditional ballads
from Knott County, Kentucky, OF
which The Tribune had considerable
TO say yesterday.
The concert was al experiment which
/ proved 70 be highly successful The
audience was in a firm state OF en-
/ thusiasm within five minutes after the
music began, and for a time II seemed
as If every number on the programme
would have 10 be repeated. The Trio
not only played beautifully, but dis
closed remarkable appreciation OF
/ the pieces. which covered wide range
of feeling, from the roistering humor
of Dandy Jim" to the deep pathos OF
the slave spiritual Deep River"-one
of the most beautiful melodies in the
list. As a middle number a piece Of
artistic chamber music, an Oriental
suite by Bonis. was deftly inserted
after the Smyrna cradle song. with
which Nine. Sembrich has several times
held her audiences captive. A great
deal of interest was aroused by the
melodies which have been preserved n
the traditions Of the Kentucky noun
taineers and at the close OF the con-
cert the audience remained 70 hear
"Bangum and the Boar" repeated.

Programmes of the Week
at Other Picture Theatres

Pauline Frederick gives her usual ex-
cellent performance in "The Moment
Before" perturbation of Israel
Zangwill's drama of that name, shown
at the Broadway Theatre yesterday for
the first time. The greater part of the
picture was flash back" in which a
superstitious duchess recalls her gypsy
girlhood. Miss Frederick plays Madge,
gypsy girl in love with Harold. son
of a duke. Harold is made to believe
that he has murdered his brother, IN
reality killed by John, Madge's gypsy
lover. The scene then shifts TO Aus
tralia, and eventually each of the three
leading characters dies more or less
violently democratic death.
No brief is held for the plausiblllty
Of the story, but It must be said that
the material permits a production OF
more than usual interest
