Trade development is a fascinating

ance of the Guarani Indian women,
brave and industrious, and the most
accomplished head-balancers on the
globe. 1t is quite the usual thing for a
woman to carry basket on her head,
filled with five struggling turkeys and
three chickens, while she holds a
youngster under one arm, a large
bundle of fire-wood under the other, di-
rects the progress of three children,
leads a stubborn burro and smokes a
long black cigar. One day followed a
bronze Hebe to her humble home by
the river shore and saw her bring forth
an American sewing-machine and

resembling a sheet, worn Moorish fash

but the slump of his back in sorrow is
not to be forgotten.
Mr.. Warfield has been interviewed at
various times, and has declared that his
method Of acting is 10 feel the char
acter and then go ahead. However, we
have enough respect for the actor TO
believe that he doesn't know what he's
talking about. His performance as Won
Barwig gives every evidence of being
a carefully considered and well-planned
performance. 1t is good because it is
workmanlike, which is the prime es-
sential of art.
In devising such a banner part as
Won Barwig, Charles Klein was not put
to the trick Of making everybody else
in the play unimportant. August
loons is a capital part. and 1t was
capitally played last night by Edward
Moller. Aramini is not so good as the
original Italian. As we remember the
performance Of twelve years ago. the
man they had then used TO get all the
spaghetti into his mouth at once.
Marie Bates remains 70 play Miss
Houston, and again she makes the most
o. it. Tony Bevan is the original brick
LAYER. Jane Cooper does nicely as the
much desired daughter. and Helen
Weer was an attractive Jenny.
By the way, one of the old-fashioned
touches in the play is embodied in the
rapidly fading capitalistic conception
of the methods of the trades union.
But there are things about the PLAY
which cannot die. It will always be
funny that anybody should call ia

cruisers that have Rugged our shores
for wears there will be a great flock
of little craft that might as well be
lettered and numbered like submarines
so far as any individual impression
which they are likely TO make upon
the seasons history IS concerned. A
faithful recorder will have much to do
10 tell when they come to the surface
and whether or not they seem little
bit seaworthy.
The first of the pianists was Miss
Frances Z. Nash, who gave recital IN
Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon. Her
programme was OF the conventional
type-familiar pieces at the beginning
and end, with a group of compositions
designed to exhibit special features OF
skill or taste in the middle. The we'll
known music-Bach's "Chromatlc Fan
tasy and Fugue" and an lmpromptu, a
Nocturne and Ballade by Chopln-tully
disclosed the young lady,s merits and
defects, leaving no revelations TO be
made by the pieces by Rachmanlnoh,
Cyril Scott, Sapillnikof, Dvorak and
Sant-Saens which interviewed before
the Lisztian finale.
As yet Miss Nash seems 10 be a sur
face player, content with her ability TO
command a full tone from her lnstru-
ment, happy in her enjoyment oil us
sonorities. only half conscious or us
nuances of color and expression. And
the delight which these things can give
to her listeners she conveys in gen
erous measure. But she will need TO
dive deeper if she hopes to bring up

are in good music. II. +. X.

BY HAYWOOD BROUN.

When Charles Klein wrote The Mu-
sic Master" he could fashion a scene
OF jolly fellowship between a French
man, German and an Italian. Pos
sibly this will serve TO establish the
age of the piece better than the mere
fact that it was first played in New
York in 1904. But, strictly speaking,
"The Music Master" was old-fashioned
when it was first produced in its story
and its general scheme Of balance be
tween glad scenes and sad ones. Such
parts of "The Music Master as were
old in 1904 are old to-day, but the
phases of il which were new and fresh
then are new and fresh now.
Charles Klein was not a master of
play building. but he had an extraordi-
nary genius for scenes. Probably there
is no one who will contend that "The
Music Master" is a great play, but If
there be any such let dissenters sban-
don argument and find a common meet
ing ground. Let them agree that the
scene in which Won Barwig gives a
piano lesson to his daughter, the scene
in which he discovers the lovemaking
of Poems and Jenny and even the oft
parodied "1f they don't want her, want
her. scene are combinations OF clear
observation Of life and effective stage
presentation.
Undoubtedly the hardest test comes
in regard to the last scene. 1t is theat-
rical and it has been parodied so many
times that hardly any one who saw the
play last night could have escaped re-
memberng some burlesque Of War
fields big moment. But despite this
handicap Warfeld had his moment
again last night. He held his audience
as he beat his breast and hammered
the piano top.
Certainly Warfeld's Won Barwig is
an excellent performance. Possibly it
is great one. 1t is true that the
character lacks subtlety, but 1t makes
UP for that in range. Something OF
power is lacking, but force atones.
There is enough detail 70 the charac-
terization to put the audience into
intimacy with Won Bsrwig, but the &C
tor wastes no time on little things
which take away the attention from
the essentials of the man. SO we not
only know Won Barwig well, but We
know the most important things about
him best.
The greatest assets of Warfield are
voice and mouth. Not only is his me-
chancal production of tone beyond crit
icism. but there is an undeniably sym
pathetic quality in his voice. He can ex-
press all sorts Of things with his smile,
which is nicely graduated from JOY to
sorrow.
Strangely enough, the next thing
about the actor which attracts the at
tention is not hands, but shoulders.
Come to think of it, we don't remem-

streaming down her cheeks, Nine:
Bernhard told how greatly she had
been moved by the offering and her
difficulty in finding words TO express
her gratitude.
Truly the spirit Of the passengers
was wonderful on Sunday evening
when word was brought that enemy
submarines were in our path and had
torpedoed several ships" said Nine.
Bernhard although all the pas
sengers were under great stress, the
ships concert took place as planned,
and more than $500 francs (s500l was

Nine. Bernhard then told how Cap
tain Emile Laurent had zigzagged back
and forth, continually altering his
course, to escape any hostile under
water craft which might be following.
When the Espagne doched and Cap
tain Laurent left the bridge TO pay his
respects TO Madame" before her de-
psrture she impulsively caught him in
her arms and, kissing him on both
cheeks, exclaimed
An. | thank GOD That such men as
you ere in command of ships! The
greatest praise is far too little to offer
a man to whom we all are indebted for
our lives"
When asked if she was afraid during
the excitement of Sunday and Monday
Nine. Bernhard replied: 81 was afraid,
yes, but not for myself. Ny guiding
star is in the ascendant, and | knew
that whatever happened | should be
saved. /. too, am a fatalist, like our
great Napoleon"
In speaking Of her coming tour of
the United States and Canada Nine.
Bernhard announced that she was go
ing TO play two acts from her greatest
successes, cleopatra" Camille" and
perhaps Madame X" She stated that
She would refrain from giving her lat
est triumph, Les Cathedrales," as she
was afraid it might give offence to any
Germanophile element attending her
performances.

good friend Aristide Briand-our pres

has the French star appeared as well
or as free from care. Many of the old
wrinkles around her eyes have disap-
peared. while her physique and voice
seem TO have regained their former
youthful lines and vibrant timbre. Nine.
Bernhard was carried from the ship
because the amputation of her right leg
above the knee six months ago had
made walking difficult. Instead OF the

has assumed the character Of the regal
Cleopatra.
Not only was there an enormous
crowd awaiting her on the dock, but
many of the laborers along West Street
devoted their noon hour 10 a vigil out
side the dock, TO catch glimpse Of the
actress as she motored north to the
Hotel Majestic.
Soon after - o'clock a great shout
was raised as Nine. Bernhardt's party
filed down the gangway. A moment
later the din became deafening as
Madame" herself appeared, smiling
and wearing her famous leopard skin
cloak over rich purple gown. with
gold brocade lace insertion. The gold
lace trimming in her mousse colored
toque sparkled in the sun as she called
a halt, halfway down the plank in a
narrow patch Of sunlight between the
liner and the dock, and, raising her
arms heavenward, exclaimed: "Ah. God
is good! He even sends the sun TO
welcome me-"
The procession was stopped again
when halfway to the elevator by Ser
geant Major Robert Middlemiss, Who
was blinded by shell fire at Gallipoli,
and who, after delivering short
speech Of welcome, presented Nine.
