 The Russian symphony orchestra's biennial dates are Wednesday, April IS and Thursday. April 19. At the lat ter performance John Powell, pianist and composer of international fame will be the soloist. when he will play Liszt's Hungarian Fantasie with the orchestra. Powell is said to excel all other virtuosos on the concert stage today as an interpreter of this won derful composition.
 REARED IN RICHMOND
 Powell was born and reared in Rich mond. He is a graduate of the Uni versity of Virginia and, now in his thirty-hfth year. is acclaimed one of the greatest performers and com posers of the day. In America he stands at the very front as a creative genius,
 Some of his earlier pieces had been given by Efrem Zimbalist and David and Clara Names, and there had been ample report of the deep impression created when the Sonata Teutonica" had been played in Vienna and Lon don in turn by Benno Moiseiwitsch and the composer. Despite these facts, even his most ardent admirers had not an- ticipated such an overwhelming suc- cess as that which followed the first public hearing in this country in Jan uary last. Just as his first three re- citals in New York this season had served to stamp him as a performer with scarcely peer among players of his own nationality, so the fourth, de- voted to this one composition, pro- claimed him to be worthy of quite as unique a place among American com posers.
 Of this work and his remarkable in- depreciation of it. Max Smith. the noted critic of the New York American, said:
 "A long composition it Is. to be sure the performance of the second move ment alone requiring half an hour. There is so much of emotional value in 5 the music, however, so much spontane- 2 ity of feeling and dramatic vitality in 5 the melodic utternce, the thematic elab- oration, the harmonic coloring, that the aditor's interest does not flag for a ]. moment. John Powell is a musician of whom his countrymen should be proud. E In creative impulse, in originality and in emotional vigor he has not his equal 7 among American composers of today" MT.

At the Majestic

When it comes to picking winners, Man ager Frankel is right there, judging from the big double programme he announces for today at the popular little Majestic theatre. Charlie Chaplin appears in new five-reel Essanay called "The Revue of 19l7." This is considered by many as being the best of the reviews that have been made from the many pictures that this clever comedian has posed for. In addition to the Chaplin feature, there will be a five-reel Deluxe picture made by the Gaumont Film company, featuring the popular screen favorite, Marguerite Courtot entitled 'Feathertot.' Ten reels of the best pictures is programme that is hard to excel

 With infinite care he has taken pictures of all the important features connected with the rescue of the Stefannson party They had been marooned for nine long months and for the last four months had lived on but a single ships biscuit each for their three daily meals. When Dr. Ruskins party arrived they had, in cluding their two Eskimo dogs, but enough food for about 10 days longer. It is indeed a pathetic sight to see what were big, healthy, strong men so de- pleted for lack of food that they re- quired assistance to even walk back to the vessel Their rescue and subsequent transfer in mid-ocean to the United States

 ARTHUR SHATTUCK COMING 1 Another great pianist who will be heard during biennial week Is Arthur Shattuck. 1 He will give a recital on Friday afternoon
 or night
 | These are appraisements by some of the critics: | Guide Musical, Paris: "A master of the
 art of nuance, he combines with his sin

 vrtuoso Is in an equal degree a remark
 able musician"
 | New Van Der Tag, Amsterdam: This American pianist Is the possessor of many exceptional qualities. His technic is well
 nigh perfect, his tone is beautiful and
 his rhythm excellent. He is master of the 1 art of shading and nuance. Shattuck Is
 Indeed an artist, one whose interpretations
 are always sane and sincere" 1 Tageblatt, Prague: His sensitive fin gers bring out a marvelously beautiful
 piano, and he knows how to make the
 instrument sing in the broader cantilene.
 He has fineness and exquisite taste and
 a pleasing delivery. He wins musician
 and lay listener as well.' l Neue Zeitschrift und Musk, Berlin: "Ar- thur Shattuck appeared in concert with l the Philharmonic orchestra under Dr.
 Kunwald, playing the concerto which in
 its virtuosity and nobly artistic presen-

These pictures are extremely interest cannot be seen elsewhere, and because they depict a country of mystery with which the average American has little ac- quaintance or knowledge. The dangers and the hardships with which they were secured adds to their interest," In fact, several men lost their lives while secur- ing some of the more difficult scenes.
 The Majestic opens today with a Charlie Chaplin picture of five reels, together with De Luxe Gaumont picture reatur- ing Marguerite Courtet in 'Feathertot." :" During the entire week, Verne Phelps and his clever assistants will offer some mu- sical comedy that should please.

 Ruskin Pictures-Jefferson
 Dr. John w. Ruskin, well-known ex- plorer and lecturer, whose spectacula r motion pictures of the strange folk and stranger animals of the rigid Arctic re- gions will be shown, two performances daily, at the Jefferson all this coming week, is one of the most interesting per SOnalltleS seen Tn BlrmlnSnam III long time.
 Dr. Ruskin, who has made other trips to both the Arctic and Antarctic re- gions, tells many weird stories and thrill ing anecdotes of his travels to the cold regions, his description of the manner in which he secured a picture of more than 40 huge walrus on the pan ice being out of the ordinary.
 In discussing this incident Dr. Ruskir said:
 Early one morning, while our vessel was frozen in, one of our Eskimo helpers, who had been out on the ice, came run. ming back to camp, yelling like an In- dian going into battle. It was several minutes before we could get anything out of him. Finally he darted out of camp, telling us in Eskimo to come and look.
 Tn the far distance I saw what l thought was Dr. Tanquarry and his Es- kimos huddled together on the ice. We quickly returned to caiap and got our boat. My heart was humping with joy. thought Tanquarry was found after be- ing lost for nearly three years. We quickly reached the waters edge and pad dled toward the pan ice. Within two hours We reached the first floating ice, and to my utter amazement and sorrow I found the supposed human figures to be huge walrus. Caution was necessary for I knew the temper of the walrus when he expected to be attacked by man.
 Before you could count 25 the whole herd dived from the ice, and in less time than it takes to relate we found our lit tie boat upset and all of us in the cold
