NIJNSKY OFFERS
SPIRITUAL FAUN
But Dancers Audience
Finds 1t Still Quite
Close to Nature

Waslav Nijinsky has at last appeared
as The Faun. The revelation OF this
new gospel Of choreogrsphic art oc
Cured last night at the Manhattan Op
era House. 1t had been partially re
vealed to US last season by Mr.. Mas
sine, but We have Mr.. Nijinsky's WORD
for it that Mr.. Massine's was not he
real thing. Says Mr.. Nijinsky:
my conception Of The Faun is a
spiritual and not a material or physi-
cal one. and the dominating feature IN
its portrayal is always mental one
Other dancers have initiated me after
watching my performances without
knowing anything Of the inspiration !
have received from Debussy's music
They fail completely to convey my idea
overlooking its spirituality, and mis-
representing me because they ms
understand me-"
This then was The Faun who ap-
peared 20 Us last night-or what Il was
intended 20 be. Now, 70 be fair 70 Mr.
Nijinsky. he gave no impersonation de-
serving Of police intervention, and II he
declares his intentions are spiritual We
can at least aver that the result was
rot bestial. In his conception there was
70 lack Of mentality. Thus far We al
can 20 with Mr.. Nijinsky.
But faun will be a faun, whether
he be on a Greeian urn. in a classic
story or on the stage with the Ballet
Russo. Few Of US have, il is true, been
fortunate enough 70 see a faun in his
native state, but those who have
averred that last nights was a true son
Of the species Now, last nights faur
may have been spiritual-we shall take
his creators word for it-but he wa
certainly abundantly animal.
His capers and tastes, and II Nr
Nij.nsky insists upon IL, his spiritual
ity, were all close enough 90 nature for
a civilized audience TO hope they never
Will become closer.
As to Mr.. Nijinsky's belief that he
has resuscitated Greek sculpture
against this We may be permitted 70
register an emphatic objection. The
frieze is there, but hiatt Is all. Mr.
Nijinsky is a child of the twentieth
century and Of the sorhistication Of
that century. His mordaine fancy Is
vigorous, original and interesting; but
Of the severe simplicity Of Greek sculpt-
ure Il bears no trace. Only the de-
tails Of that sculpture he has used as
counters for his fancy. This is as far
as Greece has entered into his soul.
The pantomime itself went more
PEACEFULLY. less ierkly. than ii vent
last year. Nine. Revalles and the other
nymphs PLAYED their parts effectively,
and Mr. Niiinsky as probably only he
could play it. In the opening, Les
Sylphides." two new dancers, Miss Spe-
sizewa and Miss Frohman, appeared
and gave much pleasure
The evening closed with "Petrouchka,'
with Mr.. Nijinsky in the title part.

Washington. Oct. 24.-Charges that

They are based upon his decision to

Information to this effect is reaching

LAWYER, FEARING
TRIAL, ENDS LIFE
Henry M. Schutt Leaps
Into River from
Ferryboat

Henry VI. Schutt, a lawyer, with Of
fees at 80 Church Street, failed to ap-
pear when the case in which ne was
charged with failure to account for
money turned over to him by Mrs.
Sarah G. Appeles, of 230 Grand Street,
was called for pleading before Judge
Rosalsky Monday morning. Instead, his
lawyer, Edgar r. Mead, who shared his
Office, told the court that he had Just
learned from the police that Schutt's
coat had been found on the Weehawken
ferryboat Catskill, and that it was
thought he had committed suicide by
jumping overheard.
The case was adjourned for a week
In order that Mead might furnish proof
Passengers See Him Leap.
Investigation showed that Schutt had
left his home, az 80 EldOrado Place
Weehawken, before daylight Monday
morning and had probably taken the
5:l5 ferry for Cortiandt Street. In his
room was found a note. in which ne
said that he was going to drown him
self. as well as notes Of farewell 70 his
wife and five daughters.
Later, passengers on the ferry who
had seen Schutt remove his nat and
coat and jump from the rear deck Of
the boat were found. They had rushed
TO restrain him, but were too late. Evil
dently the crowd on the ferry 10 New
York had delayed the lawyers inten
ton, for he remained on the boat and
plunged into the river just before il
entered the slip on the Jersey side on
its return trip.
Indicted for Fraud.
For the last month Assistant District
Attorney Morton has been investigating
dozen complaints against Schutt, in
volving several thousand dollars, and
on October 10 he was indicted. His
scheme was TO purchase property st
foreclosure sales, and then, holding II
in the name of dummy, to induce his
clients to invest money in a mortgage
on the property.
At the time Of his arrest he tried 20
break away from the detectives and to
reach a Dagger bearing the inscription,
"Sheathe not this in disnonor," which
he carried in an inside pocket OF his
coat He denied that he had any
thought OF ending his life. however. de-
claring that he used the dagger as a
paper cutter.

Delaware River

philadelphia. Oct 24.-Alennde'
Brown. polo player and aviator Of this
city, fell from his hydro-aeroplane into
the Delaware River. at Essington. to-
day and was drowned. He lost contro!
of the machine when about 100 feet in
the air. Rescuers found him pinned
tightly between the Sanctions OF the
plane as it hoated on the river.
Mr.. Brown was pupil Of the Phila-
delphia School OF Aviation at Essing
ton. and was making his last fight in
a test for a license. He had made a
brilliant flight last night and was ex-
pected to have earned his license to-
day.
Mr.. Brown had an international rep
utation as a polo player and big game
hunter. He was prominent in social
circles in this city, New York and New
port. Last May he announced his de-
csion to dispose of his string OF pole
ponies and devote himself to aviation.
He attended the Plattsburg camp last
fall and became keenly interested IN
the plans OF a group OF society men and
sportsmen, who fitted up the aviation
school in connection with the movement
for national preparedness. He not
only flew his own aeroplane, but de-
voted himself TO making the school
successful In every way.
From the standpoint Of the polo en-
thusiast, Mr. Browns retirement was
regarded as q positive loss. He was
one Of the most highly handicapped
polo players in this section Of the
country. He aided in bringing the ma
tional polo tournament 20 the Phila-
delphis Country Club last fall, and was
captain Of the Bryn Nawr polo club
team last year and the previous year.

the strategy Of polo made him for
midabls player for q number Of sea-
sons.

old, He leaves a wife.

THE CAST
By HAYWOOD BROUN

Such merry moments as Go To It.
provides belong to the adenoids o.
Helen Bond. But for the enlargement
Of the ingenue's pharyngeal tonsil there
would be little charm to the new
musical comedy produced at the Prin-
cess Theatre last night. Here is q
young person who looks like Irene
Castle and talks ever so much worse
We think her voice is great.
Mss Bond can DO stunts with simple
words, but she rises 10 heights when
she encounters documents" Here is
a voice as full of discords as an or
chestral piece by Stravinsky, and in the
jangling notes there is a strangely fas-
cinating quality. The adenoidal in
genue is a presentable person, with
some little dancing ability. She is ex.
cessively self-conscious. In fact, II
one were TO make up list of don'ts
for girls about to 90 on the stage, be
would have TO mention most OF the
mannerisms Of Miss Bond, and yet We
mean to maintain in all seriousness that
the actress is an exceedingly attractive
person, who stimulated the interest of
the audience hugely last night.
Such Spparent contradictions arouse
problems worthy OF study. To say per
sonality" and look knowing is merely
TO dodge the issue.
Less interesting and important mat
ters are presented by the phases OF
the performance which lie beyond the
nose and throat of Miss Bond. The
music has no discords, but not so much
melody. One Of the best tunes has
been borrowed back from Broadway
and Buttermilk" The piece is staged
intelligently and in several scenes the
lighting deserves particular praise.
Hoyt's farce, THE Milk White Flag.
was used as the core for Go To It.
but mostly there is no core.
Hoyt is dead these many years, but
his jokes and earlier ones live on. We
liked the book most when Miss Bond
asked Percivsl knight whether the ice
cream was sanitary and he replied, mo,
vanilla" There was a joke also about
widows weeds, but il cannot be ex-
planned without pointing out just why
Lucy Luce put gar in her pocket and
how she was forced mendaciously to
declare that the cigar was for her
mother, whose husband was supposed
TO be dead and wasn't.
Il was Percival knight who said
that platonic love was ike playing
poker for Confederate money. Mostly
he was not so funny as that. Emma
Janvier had little 10 do, and Cross and
Josephine danced their rather too IA
miliar dances.
