THREE-ARTIsT RECITAL
ON THANKSGIVING NIGHT
Jacobinoff, violinist, Leads Trio in Con-
cert Under Auspices Of
Doraen Society

Three artists gave splendid recital be.
fore the Doraen Society In the New Mer-
camille Hall last night They were Sascha
Jhcoblnoff violnlst Mary Barrett, soprano,
and Ferdinand Hlmmelreich, trRnscriptive
pianist The recital served TO give Phila-
delphians an opportunity 10 hear Jacobnof
much more intimately than when he played
the Brahms concerto with the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra few weeks ago
ut his first and only other appearance here
since his return from Europe, And the
young violnist came through the more
difficult ordeal as successfully as he did Mt
his debut
Jacoblnoff has a strong. vrlle tone that
; rich with all the beauty inherent In
a perfect Guarnlu violin lie plays with
absolute intonation and yerve that Is
admirable, His double and triple stop
pings are accomplished with consummate
ease aud every other technical difficulty
he brushes away as OF no consequence.
J0cobinor's faultless technique. hts faetl-
ity, the purity OF his tone, and the spirit
which he instlls into his playing. make
him great violinlst. hut he has yet
TO learn the full significance of a pianls-
simo. OF the more subtle art OF nuanco to
he among the greatest TO be In the COM
pany OF the two or three that thrill tho
soul as well as the ear.
There Is no reason to believe that Jacob
inorr will not reach this ultimate height
door OF hls extreme youth A little polish
to- his tone, and n broadening out OF his
art. will raise him into the exalted company
OF Krelsler. Ysaye, Maud Powell and
few others. We will have an opportunity
later In the month to hear him in recital
alone.
Mary Barrett is another example Of what
opera lost when Oscar Hammerstoin was
ostraclzed--tor u few paltry dollnrs--from
the field OF music. This mpresario took
Miss Barrett into his Philadelphia Opera
Company but before he could do much with
her his work was summarly cut short by
the agreement with the Metropolitan man
agement Miss Barrett repeated the famil-
lar numbers which she sang 80 well at a
recent concert OF tho Schmidt Quartet and
In her recital Beauty OF tone and dramatic
intensity combine in hor to make II voice
that Ia pleasure 20 listen to. Mr. Him.
melrcich played three numbers that showed
hls wonderful facility at transcrptions.

And yet Baby Lillian Read has
been a photoplay starlot these six
months. When Thomas II. Ince
was making his big photoplay
spectacle, "Civilization," which
comes TO the Lyric Monday, he
looked around for an impossible
prodigy of child actress to "put
over" bit of pathos at the de-
parture Of a soldier-father for the
front. His eye lit on the eighteen
month-old daughter of j. Parker
Read, Jr., his general representa-
tive. Between the natural talent
Of Baby Read and his own direct
ing genius, Mr.. Ince accomplished
almost n miracle in photoplay
annals. The young lady is two
years old today.

Catholic barons, aroused IN them By the out
rageous oppression and zaa0lessnesS Of Royal
authority.
But for that famous 'mobn, which drew
its swords on the tyrannical KAg, English
men might have remained as slavish to brutal
and lawless Authority, as the Pope and the
King wished them to be.
After the establishment Of the Great Char
ter in 1915, it was not persistently ignored
and violated until King George Ill began
to transport Americans to England for trial,
under legal accusations
The "mob spirit" which inspired the Boston
Tea Party, the burning of the Gaspee and
the Peggy Stewart, and the lynching of To
ries had it's origin, to a large extent, IN the
fgran viozotion Of the 7a0 by Royal Az
thority.
Our forefathers knew their rights as En-
glishmen, and knowing them, dared to fight
for them.
They themselves stated, in the Declaration
of Independence, that one of their reasons
for going to war, was this very abuse of
taking the citizen away from the lawful,
local Jurisdiction, for trial in another
When the Revolutionary War, with its
seven years of woe and wastage and slaughter,
at length made us a free people, the prin-

In Blackstone's Commentaries"

] n Blackstone's commentaries" -Book w.,
Chapter 33, paragraph 424-the law
students are taught that it was one of the
reforms demanded by the rebelious barons of
King John, that the citizen accused Of crime
should be tried IN the neigh6orh0od IN q0tich
at qoas alleged to haze been conmoitted.
This demand became part of the Great
Charter, and the kingdom was divided into
circuits, in order that each person prosecuted
Tor crime, should be Indicted and tried en- has
Oa07a circuit
The Italian Pope-Innocent the Great
laid the curse Of Rome upon this Great Char
ter; degraded the English prelate, Langton
who had taken part in demanding it; excom-
municated the rebellious barons; and Sab
solved' the tyrannical King from his solemn
oath to keep faith with his dissatisfied people,
Nevertheless, the Great Charter soon tri-
umphed over Papal curse and priestly in
trigue, for, in truth, it was little more than
the reassertion of the ancient Anglo-Saxon
customs and laws which had been codifed by
King Alfred the Great
