Works of Beauty Out of the

AT the American Art Galleries there

antiquities brought here from Italy BY
Professor Ella Volpi. 1t will be dis

successfully revives the atmosphsre

own, and he has drawn besides uron
the resources Of other collectors and
dealers. The seventeenth century Flor
entine table cover of light blue velvet,
embroidered in gold thread (No. l76),
which is exposed in a glass case by
itself, might well be taken as sym
bollzing the quality of the whole mis-

early craftsmen in Germany, for ex-

confreres in the South. Their utensils,
their humber furniture, pottery and
so on have proved as durable as any
thing that ever came out of Italy. But,

Furs Worth $4,000
Stolen at Film Shows
Suspect, Arrested Before on
Same Charge, Identified
by Woman

The Fourth Branch Detective Bureau
disclosed yesterday that during the
past six months furs valued at from
$4,000 20 800, 900 had been stolen in
moving picture theatres in Harlem and
on Washington Heights. The thisf or
thieves, according TO the police, pur-
sued the same method in each case.
Whenever a woman patron laid her fur
piece across the back of her seat he
thief would take seat directly h1ck
of her and then wait until she became
so interested in the picture that it vas
comparatively simple for him to slip
the fur of the seat and make his
escape.
A man who gave his name as Henry
Sherwood and his address as AZ west
Sixty-siXth Street was Locked up at the
Fourth Branch yesterday on the COM
plant of Mrs. Fannie Barrow, of 64s
Riverside Drive. Her husband IS Ed
ward Barrow, president Of the lnterns-
tional Baseball League. Sherwood IS
charged with grand larceny.
Mrs. Barrow reported that fur piece
valued at $500 had been stolen while
she was in a moving picture theatre at
Broadway and 135th Street. She iden-
titled Sherwood as the man who had sat
behind her in the theatre.
Sherwood, the police say, has twice
before been arrested on similar
charges.

Music
Miss Emma Roberts and
New York Chamber Music
Society Give Concerts

Temperament under the control OF
intelligence is one Of the rarest virtues
in the recital field. There is in that
field plenty Of intelligence. and oecs-
sionally we get temperament; but the
intelligence is usually employed in
pointing out the way TO an emotion
which does not exist, while the tenn
perament, like the wind, blows where It
listeth. The result is that the average
audience has Hobson's choice Of form
without fire or fire without form.
Sometimes, however, a singer arrives
who connects these two congenitally
divergent virtues, and then we are
made happy. Such a singer gave
recital Yesterday afternoon in Aeolisn
Hail She was Miss Emma Roberts.
Miss Roberts is not an impeceable
singer Her intonation in her upper
register was not always true. and the
restricted range Of h-r voice caused
her some effort. Within its true COM
rass, none the less, the voice Is an az
mirable one, warm and vibrant Sne
Knows how 10 sing folksongs. as she
nroved in Barbara Allen" and in the
French Marianne" and though in the
programme she put down my Old Ken
lucky Home" as a folksong, her singing
of the air was admirably executed.
With fine spirit, too, she gave Tuis
"Les Trois Oiseaux." and Weckerlln's
ia Chanson du Tambourineur." Miss
Roberts has feeling, which she Is not
ashamed TO show, and taste, which she
does not hesitate to apply. Her audi
ence was deservedly large.
In the evening the New York Cham
ber Music Society. Of which Carolyn
Beebe is director. gave its second con-
cert of the season. The programme
consisted largely Of new works, which
included Donald F. Toveys variations
on a Theme by Gluck,' Josef Hol,
brooke's rocturne. "Fairyland," and
Bernard Sekles's Serenade in Z hst
major.

They are encouraged to do simple

Most of them are men OF rennement

treatment they receive in the German

Plays and Players

A matinee By the Washington Square
Players School of the Theatre will be
given to-day at the Comedy Theatre,
when the pupils will present three ono
act plays of interest. These are Sutro's
"The Bracelet" "Close the Book" by
Susan Glaspell, and "The Feast Of the
Holy Innocents," by Samuel Marshall
llsley. This matinee will release the
regular company from duty, and they
will celebrate their holiday by having
a party--a theatre party, OF course.

den to do a quite different sort of bit
with the Field Artillery at Camp Up

Declaring that the spotlight was %

back the wrist watch which had been

be all right az military camp, in
Murray's opinion, but things are diff

The press agent Of "What's Your
Husband Doing?" at the Thirty-ninth

parallel for the tired business man.
"The play is the last word in a recipe
for the tired business man, and seeing
it the tortured housewife can escape
her trials and tribulations," he allows
with the usual optimism of his pro-
fession. Judging the matter from a
merely titular standpoint, it seems as
il il wouldn't work out that way.

We are again approaching the
Christmas Season.
A year ago we hoped that be-
fore another year rolled around
here would be peace.
Then we were not IN this awful
war
Now we are in it and to stick
until victory is won.
The boys who are going to do
the fighting for us are not bit
depressed about it.
They will celebrate Christmas
with real spirit.
The fact that they may go out
the next day and engage in battle
many Of them 10 surrender
their lives for their country-will
not depress them.
They will be very unhappy if
they think we folks here at home
will not observe Christmas with
our usual spirit.
The way to keep our boys in
hne fettle is to think about them
athcy think about themselves.
They do not want us to worry
about them.
They want US to back them up
with good cheer and stout hearts.
Therefore, let rS send them
cheering message-not heart
sobs.
Let us tell them that we will
celebrate Christmas-more sane
ly than usual, of course, because
We will not waste anything or be
unduly extravagant IN our gifts
but let US let them know that we
are not grieving our hearts out
because Of the risks they run in
lighting for their country.
Let us give them to under
stand that we are proud Of them
that it is glorious to fight for
ones country-that we would
ike to be alongside Of them if
we could.
We wish them a Merry Christ
mas.
They will have it because they
are made of the right stuff.
Let US who are compelled to
remain at home be merry with
them.
There will be good cheer in
the Belleclaire all day on Christ
mas.
We will not do anything or say
anything to depress the boys.
We are with them heart and
soul.
80 are our guests.
We greet you, brave lads. and
may Cod be with you til we
meet again.
