Columbia Chorus Heard in
Samson ct Dalila"
in English

Ssint-Sasns's Samson ct Daiila IN
English translation was given at Car
neeie Hall last night By the Columbia
University Chorus, under the direetion
OF Professor Walter Henry HAN An
orchestra selected from the member
shin of the New York Philharmonic
Society assisted. The soloists were
Narv Jordan. Dan Beddoe, Alan Iur-
ner and Robert Maitland.
A translation which necessitateo
misplaced accents, and lack OF costumes
scenery. stage business and ballet nat
urally deprived last nights perform
ance of many Of its most attractive
features. but the result was distinctly
meritorious. The chorus sang WIN
much spirit. while the soloists dls-
PLAYED a thorough knowledge OF their
respective roles. I.. .ho
Professor Hall does not conduct the
Philharmonic Society frequently, nor
did he have a professional chorus az
his disposal. Il is a real tribute 10 MS
established reputation as serious mu-
stefan that he was able TO take the va,
rious elements IN Samson ct DANA
and weld them into an harmonious ana
artistic ensemble.

German Trick to Seize American
OiIHoIdings Fooled by Gerard
Bill in Reichstag Proposed Conhscation of Standard
Representations Sent from u S. for Relief Kept
Secret to Foster Feeling Against This Country
By CARL W. ACKERMAN

obtained from Ambassador Gerard and
Governor Whitman, also under false
pretences.
Last fall they returned TO Berlin and
began the distribution OF the money.
Gerard suspected them, but had no evil
dence upon which TO base charges. Pre-
Vlously he had regarded them as kind,
Jealous charity workers. At the be-
ginning of the war they were living in
Berlin and he asked them to care for
two deserted girls. Gerard paid them
500 month for the care and educa-
ton of the children. When he became
suspicious he investigated and found
that another American in Berlin was
contributing like sum to the same
people for the identical purpose.
One day, when the woman appeared
at GeraTd's office. he asked her why
she never published in the Berlin news
papers the fact that she was distribut-
ing funds from America. She replied
that such a rctice would bring her
more requests than she could fulfil.
Gerard asked her IL she didn't think
she owed it to the people who had con-
trbuted the money, and he asked her
how much she still had to distribute.
Gerard Receivers $4,000
She replied: Three thousand dol
lars"
"Do you keep any account or make
any reports about your work. he
asked
No she answered.
well. how much have you spent?'
asked the ambassador.
81 really don't remember, Mr.. &c.
rard" she replied.
81 want you to go home" said Gerard.
Get that $4,000 and bring it to me,
and also make a report about the
money you have raised You had let
tiers from me and from Governor Whit
man. don't intend to let you dis
tribute this money without having a
record Of it after you used our letters
to collect it,"
The next day the woman returned
with $4,000. Gerard asked her how
much she and her husband had been
craving as salary. She said, Eight
hundred dollars a month"
Nov" the ambassador added, "vou
have more money at home. Go get it
Immediately" She returned with a
few thousand dollars more.
"Why don't you bring all of it?"
asked Gerard. "Now, bring every cent
you have here TO the embassy by to-
night"
By evening Gerard had over $4,000.
Gerard sent this couple to Denmark
en- route to the United States. But
when the man reached Copenhagen he
turned back. A few weeks later he
committed suicide. He had been
warned by the British not to cross the
Atlantic again because he had made
seven trips in less than eighteen
months. The British suspected him of
being a German travelling agent.

Drama
Will Rogers Pleases Much
and Flag Waving Less
in New Frolic
By HAYWOOD BROUN

The sight OF Frances White in starry
spsngles brings a thrill. We wonder
If It is patriotism. May Leslie in her
Union Jack suit makes the pulses
bound. England has been our friend
for more than half century. There is
pronounced palp in every heart when
Marjorie Cassidy waves tho tricolor.
Who can forget Lafayette?
And yet we wonder, and wondering
we doubt, whether midnight heroics are
either fine or fitting now. All the ap-
plause in the world for the girl in
black and red and yellow who clogs
so cleverly will butter no war bread
for Belgium. No battles will be won
by the brave boys in the uniforms
from the Schneider-Anderson Company,
despite the inspiring sentiments Of the
verses and the chorus. 1t would be a
splendid thing il patriotism were al
lowed for theatrical purposes only
when manifested in something stir
ring and deep and true. such as lsadora
Duncan's Interpretation of the "Marche
Lorraine"
There are some pretty pictures and
some prettier girls in the various flag
waving numbers in the new Midnight
Frolic, but there is a somewhat tawdry
tinkle TO such things in these times
which buzz and ring in the ears of us
all. But, after all, dramatic reviews,
however deadly, will sink no subma-
rlncs.
One spectator at least had a right to
his fill of fun. Vernon Castle was on
the roof of the New Amsterdam. Per-
haps he came up in the elevator. or did
he glide down in his aeroplane? At
any rate, he has flown higher and
heard louder popping than of a Frolic
opening. And some of his best stunts
have been done high in lofty theatre,
where even free list could not tempt
an audience. lie had his cheers last
night. and Will Rogers would not be-
gin his monologue until he had shaken
hands with the man who is back from
the front for little while. Here,
said Rogers, "is one tango bird who
made good"
Rogers, of course. was the best feat
ure of the big bill. Combined with
his winning style is a growing facility
in impromptu. He can spin his talk
along as easily and freely as he used
to spin the rope. That rope means
about as much to him now as the
rudimentary tails which we bear out
of compliment TO the apes. He offered
last night to talk about any one whom
the audience might mention, and re-
quests for comment about Roosevelt,
Joffre. Balfour and J. Shubert did not
find him at a loss. All his comment
was kindly and ready, and much of it
bright.
Bryan says he'll 20 to war if his
country wants him." remarked Rogers.
Roosevelt says he'll go whether they
want him or not" he added.
And so on, but there is no use
talking about what Rogers said last
night, for it will be different to-mor-
row and again the day after that. Any
way, the jokes and quips of Rogers are
merely a medium for the expression of
one of the most pleasing personalities
of our stage.
Personality, we suppose, is also the
secret of the success of Miss Frances
White. 1t is not altogether attrac-
tive, to be sure. Certainly this little
miss might be shade less pert, but
she commands attention. Interest in
her never flags. She has a distinct
