KATINKA PROVES
ARTISTIC SUCCESS

The splendid audience which filled the
Rhode opera house last night to greet
/" Katinka'' -, Arthur H. Hammerstein s
musical play with book and lyrics by
Hauerbach and music by Rudolph Frimi
was one calculated to warm the cookies
of box office heart. And the play
was so excellent that the audience had
equal reason to rejoice.
Katinka'' has not slow moment
in it. From the rise of the first curtain
it speeds along in a manner of which
the hustling American, Thaddeus T.
Hooper, might be regarded as symbolic
as he Frances through his lines.
Blessed with plot quite beyond that
of ordinary musical comedies both in
novelty and strength, embellished with
snappy lines that have q humorous turn
in many instances, music that is far and
away catcher and sweeter than latter
day music is apt to be and company
of young men and women adequate to
the task before them, it is not strange
| that last nights audience gave Ka-
tinka'' warm welcome.
Was spectacularly Pleasing.
Seldom does travelling company have
as carefully worked out stage scenes
and sets as does the 6 Katinka'' or
ganization. 1t was evident from the
beginning that an artist in stagecraft
had had hand in the designing of COS
TUNES, their coordination with the
scenes in which they appeared and with
the music accompanying the scenes.

in the opening of the second act The

A neD EDISON Why?

The New Edison Is not a talking machine, but a musical instrument of the highest type.
 The New Edison has a permanent diamond reproducing point which never wears out and which never has to be changed.
 The records played by the New Ed ison are not worn out by the dia- mond point-they last forever and are absolutely unbreakable.
 If you have records of other than the Edison make, or if your favorite artist sings under contract for one of the talking machine companies, those records may also be played on the New Edison.
 Sound is controlled on the New Ed ison by tone modulating lever and not in the old fashioned way by opening and closing doors.
 The New Edison is sold you by Loveman, Joseph & Loeb only after you have compared it with all other sound reproducing instruments. A New Edison will be sent to your home with complete selection of records so that you may try it out put it to test without the pres ence of our salesman to suggest and influence you. That is the way we sell most of the Edison instruments. No one need say that they cannot afford to buy New Edison. The Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Club Plan way of paying takes care of that. Our terms are especially liberal and can be easily met out of the family income each month without disturb ing the family savings.

"awfully scared" when she took the
chair at the important meeting of that
important body. Mrs. Colby called on
the chairmen OF the different commit
tees of the club, each Of whom gave
the most amusing reports for their
supposed work. One chairman con-
fessed that when she could not make
her accounts balance, she didn't
know what to do with the difference
But while mirth abounded. some inn
portant points in parliamentary laws
were learned by the club women.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a

and supplemented them with some ad-
ditional verbal information.
Almost everyone knows how the stir
ring words rushed from the heart and
hand of Francis Scott Key on the early
morning of September IA, 1914, when
the English were bombarding Fort Nc
Henry. Fewer, perhaps, know that
he iotted down the first rough draft of
the song on the back of letter as he
sailed up the Patapsco on one of the
enemy's vessels that early morning,
when he saw through the dawn's ear
ly light that our flag was still there"
He completed this draft upon the
American boat which brought him to
Baltimore that evening, and later that
night. in his hotel in Baltimore, he
made a clean copy Of those jOttings,
and this first fair copy of the words
Is still in existence. and may yet be
seen at the Walters gallery in Balti-
more.
On the morning after his arrival in
Baltimore Key took his poem to his
friend and relative, Judge Joseph Hop
Der Nicholson, for his critical opinion
upon it. This was evidently favorable,
for it was Immediately printed and its
first appearance in public was in the
form of a sheet, or broadside, which
was distributed through the streets on
the day after it was written. It's first
dated appearance was in the Balti-
more Patriot of September 20, 1914.
Next day it appeared in exactly the
same form in the Baltimore American,

Many Of the men earn money other

said that If he could get patriotic song
adapted to ''The Presidents March" he
did not doubt Of a full house; that the
poets of the theatrical corps had been
trying to accomplish 1t, but had not sue
ceeded. I told him that I would try what
I could do for him. He came the next
afternoon, and the song, such as 1t Is,
was ready for him. Such is the history
of the song, which has endured infinitely
beyond the expectation Of the author.
The song met with immediate sue
cess and was repeated again and again,
being named "New Federal Song" and
no entertainment of the day was con-
sidered complete without it.
To run down the history of the mu-
sic of "Hail Columbia" written orig
inally as the presidents March," Mr..
Sonneck found a much more difficult
task than giving the plain narrative
of the applied words. Wading through
an immense amount of historical data
and some controversy upon the sub
ject, he has brought out facts which
he would only put forth after the most
careful process of sitting and deduc-
ton.
Until recently" he said, "the musi-
cal origin of Hail Columbia was as
obscure as it's literary history was
clear" But, weighing all the evidence
in the case, he carefully sets down
the fact that the presidents March,"
which supplied the music for Hail Co
lumbia," was composed by Philip Phile,
a resident of Philadelphia, Of perhaps
German or Swiss origin, and musician
and instructor of note. (His name is
usually spelled incorrectly; the above
is the correct spelling)
