showed that he has won distinct
place on the concert stage.

CONCERT OF FRENCH SONGS
Larrieu TO Present Works Before
Alliance Franchise.

The Alliance FRANCHISE will give .
concert tomorrow evening at Aeolian
Hall, at which the poet-composer, Al
bert Larrieu, will bring out several Of
his songs, sung by Nine. Lecomte, who
has come with him from France and
accompanied by himself at the piano.
Mr. Larrieu has just been released
from military duty in France, and
hopes to serve his country abroad by
acquainting Americans with his poems
and songs, so essentially French in
spirit and character. Although he is
from the south OF France, compatriot
Of Mistral and Dsudet, he has written
songs depicting the spirit Of other
French provinces, notably Brittany.
Nine. Lecomte IS a pupil OF Dupre
and has appeared in light opera in
Paris and out Of France. Nine. France
Ariel, who recites his poems, holds a
degree from the University OF Paris
and was trained by an artist OF the
Coincide FRANCHISE. Mr.. Larrieu will
have the assistance OF the violinist
Reber Johnson.

For the moment Campbell Pope

rose and the chorus broke into sudden
sound. When he did speak 1t was with
unusual bitterness.

"She's too beautiful to last long"

He turned to the girl herself. who
was smiling at him as she had smiled
since his entrance. He did not wonder
at the prominence her beauty had
brought her. for even at this close
range her makeup could not disguise
her loneliness. The lily had been
painted, to be sure, but the sacrilege
was not too noticeable; the lips were
glaringly red now, but the expression
was none the less sweet and friendly.

Mrs. Knight answered for her daugh-
ter "Lorelei has too much sense for
that, She succeeded easily, but she
isn't spoiled"
Then. In response to question by
Pope, Lorelei told him something Of
her experience. We're upstate people,
you know. Mr.. Bergman was looking
for types, and seemed to suit, so

SON.
Pope resented Mrs. knights share in
the conversation. He did not like the
elder woman's face, nor her voice, nor
her manner. She impressed him as an
other theatrical type with which he
was familiar--the stage mamma. He
found himself marveling at the dis
similarity Of the two women.
"Of course a famous beauty does

and shuffied away, leaving Pope to

of Supreme court justice. They were
talking when Mr.. Regain returned to
tell the interviewer that he would be

entered brightly lighted, overheated
