rope IN war time combine in the clever
plot OF Earl Derr Biggor's "Insidc the
Lines" at the Knickerbockcr Theatre.
The play is by no means easy 10 pre-
sent, as 1t calls for several varieties of
acting, from emotional to comic, but it
may be said. to the credit of the mem
mers of the West Philadelphia stock com

with admirable acting.

Mischa Elman's Recital

The Russian violinist, Mischa Elman,
played at the Academy last night to an
audience which left only a small number
of seats vacant in that large auditorium.
The applause was tenacious, almost eager,
In spirit and the encOres started early.
The arranged program included concertOs
by Vivaldi and Ernst, variations on a Mo-
zartean theme by Scolero, a group of

The qualities and aptitudes of this vo-
linst were so recently detailed in this
place that no repetition is either neces-
sary or advisable. The moral of Mr.. FL
mans playing is a blow to certain theor-
lists of the divine passion. For it is, ap-
parently, possible to love where one can
not respect. G. " S.
