COMMISSION
WON'T APPROVE
OLD MAIL BOXES
Blames POstofflce for Delay
Calls Excuse for Rejecting
Second Design Lame"

The Municipal Art Commission met
yesterday at the City Hall and passed
back to the Postofce Department the
responsibility for the delay in install
ling the much needed additional letter
boxes in this city. All ten members Of
the commission were present, and after
discussing the situation for more than
two hours they decided not 10 act
upon Mayor Mitchers suggestion to
approve the unsightly old type boxes
and adopted a resolution reatiirmlng
their approval Of the two designs pre-
yiously submitted by the Postofiice De
partment, but later rejected By the Fed
eral authorities on the ground that they
were too expensive.
Mayor Mitchell called the meeting OF
the Art Commission yesterday. with the
suggestion that 10 might be better TO
place public convenience before
sesthetic consideration and approve the
old type boxes IN view OF the state
ment of Postmaster General Burleson
that the department had plenty OF them
on hand and could install them within
twenty-four hours. The Mayor pointed
out. however. that the Postotiice Depart
ment had been at full liberty since
last April 10 install either Of the designs
approved by the Art Commission. He
is a member ex-oihcio of the commits
sion. but did not attend yesterdays
meeting.
Members Of the Art Commission de-
clared that the matter was now square
~ up 20 the Postofiice Department
Some Of them said that there was
something ineXplicable in the turning
down Of the second design submitted
last March, after it had been approved
both by the commission and the Post
Office authorities The commissioners
considered it a lame excuse" that the
new design would cost too much. They
declared that the new designs would
cost no more than the old one, after
die was made. IL is understood that
some of the members of the Art Com
mission feel that there must be reasons
other than expense for the strong OPP
position which has developed on the
part Of the Postoffce authorities TO any
but the old type boxes.

FRITZ KREISLER
AT PIANO ACTS
AS ACCOMPANIES
Appears at Song Recital Of
ReinhOld Warlich at
AeOlian Hall

Fritz kreisler appeared IN new
role yesterday afternoon that OF
piano accompanist at song recital
Needless TO say he performed his part
sympatheticaly and in the manner
that might be expected from a mu-
stefan OF mis- calibre. The recital was
given by Reinhold Warlich, who has
often been heard before In New York
and who is an artist OF tried ana
proved abilities.
Mr.. Warlich presented a programme
Of considerable interest; II opened with
Schumann's "Talismane,' followed by
Corneius's littlegiven Christmas song
cycle. "Weihnachtslieder." He gave
these with taste and restraint, at times
perhaps with over-restraint. very
delightful group was that OF his old
English and Scotch songs, which ne
sang with extraordinary familiarity for
Russian. There were two songs OF
Robert Jones. Farewell, Dear Love
and Go to Bed. Sweet Muse" John
Alleys ION a Time" and several Scot
fish ballads. In all his dction was un-
usually clear His two concluding
groups were composed Of French and
Russian songs.
Mr.. Warlich's voice is one of some
what limited range, but within its pos
sibilities it possessed not a little color
and a good deal Of resonance. In adj
dition. he sang throughout with intelli-
gence and taste. special word should
be said for song by Raoul Laparra,
I'm Reve," which possessed real
beauty and was given most effectively
by Mr.. Warlich.
