Drama
Adolf Bolm's Ballet Is Largely
Adolf Bolm
BY RALPH BLOCK

Adolf Bolm's ballet intime at the
Booth Theatre makes up in those quail
ties that help 70 make ballet intime
what it lacks in vigor; but q few
more numbers such as those in which
the director himself appears would go
far to increase the enjoyment Of
performance that pleases without
arousing enthusiasm. Bolm has as his
aids Roshanara, Rattan Devi and Michlo
Itow, each Of them delicate and subtle
performers. Yet Bolm has his own
name to thank for the memories Of an
earlier and more resplendent ballet,
which even in remembrance overshad
ows everything that has come after. II
might be ventured that it was a mis-
take TO include the barbaric prince
Igor" in the present programme, even
if it does give Bolm back TO Us as the
leaping bowman; I've numerical COM
position of a ballet intime cannot be
calculated to reproduce so overlooking
ly as II. Diaghilef once demonstrated
the ecstatic dancing of a Polovitslen
camp. Bolm alone, however, as a
Syrian warrior, 10 music by Alexander
Maloof, is worth the time devoted to
the rest Of the evening. He looks
sculptural, but that appearance of plas-
tic art does not make him seem any less
powerful and madly dynamic.
One obvious but more or less for
gotten fact that the programme recalls
is that the dance is largely an Oriental
form of expression. And as such il is
full Of rhythms that are strange to the
West. The dancing of Michio Itow has
an angularity about it, sharpness and
dryness Of rhythm that is exciting
without always being Ineligible. Japa-
nese art depends more largely upon
abstract aesthetic qualities, purity Of
line and unity of composition than the
art of other Oriental lands. In India
the human elements-love, the noun
tains, the harvest-predomina and
perhaps that is why the Hindu dances
Of Roshanara and the Kashmiri songs
and East Indian ragas of Rattan Devi
find their way so easily to the atten-
ton Of their audiences.
Other principal dancers who appear
are Marshall Hall, Mary Eaton, Mary
Palay, Rita Zalmani, Janka Mieczkow
ska, Alexander Umansky and Tulle
Lindahl. Eva Gauthier sings in the
intermission. The ballet will remain
at the Booth Theatre this week and
next. The performances are under the
auspices of the American Ambulance
in Russia.

Banks Here Hire
Women Clerks
Majority at Start Better
Paid Than Men; Chance
for Promotion

After inquiries at fifty-one banks and
trust companies, the standing commit
tee on employment Of the Mayors Com
mittee Of Women on National Defence
has reported that women are employed
IN all but seven of the institutions
The National City Bank employs 1926
women, the Guaranty Trust Company
200, the Chase National Bank 56, the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company rs,
the Bankers Trust Company 100, the
National Park Bank 70. the Equitable
Trust Company 100, the Corn Exchange
Bank 10 and Brown Brothers 60.
The following statements are eX-
cerpts from the committees report:
The percentage Of women 20 men
employed runs as high as one to three
or four. In only two of the banks
visited our Investigators were told that
women would not be employed under
any circumstances.
Generally speaking, there are two
classes of banks-those in which there
is real future for women, with sal
aries in accordance, and those who
wish 10 employ green young girls at
low pay to do clerical work only.
an a very few banks opportunity is
opening for women 20 reach places Of
higher responsibility. The taking Of
women into business is not so much
the question of replacement as II is
the growth of the banking business due
TO the war. If this business continues
more women than ever will undouot-
eddy be used.
"As far as could be learned, these
women are getting larger salaries than
men do on first coming into business.
The reason for this IS that the women
VINO are being taken on are older and
have better educational background
than was formerly required of the
young junior bank clerks"

On the Screen
The Fighting Trail" Prom
ises To Be Thrilling
Film Serial

What threatens to be the most thrill
ing serial ever presented on the screen
was shown in part at the Strand Thea
ire yesterday morning.
1t is Vitsgraph picture called "The
Fighting Trail" and features Carol
Holloway and William Duncan. A half
dozen instruments were shown, and
then, just when every one was follow
ing the fortunes of Gwyn and Nan
with bated breath, came the words
passed by the National Board of Gen.
sorship," and the performance was
over for the day.
The abrupt transition left the lovers
hanging on the end Of rope over
canyon apparently bottomless, with two
of the strands Of the rope already sew
cred, so one may judge Of the nature
Of the entertainment. 1t is melodrama
pure and simple, but such melodramal
One can only gasp in horror and
marvel at the daring Of the persons
concerned One man in the audience
exclaimed: "Why, he gets $1,000 a week
for doing that.' To which his COM
panion replied: well, what good is
So 900 10 a dead man?"
The story tells of Nan and Gwyn,
who set out 10 find a lost mine. Gwyn
is very nice, refined miner who talks
thus: my darling, riches beyond the
dreams of avsrice are ours But, in

bare cliff, hundreds Of feet above a
raging torrent, and perform other feats
of daring which seem beyond the power
OF nero human being.
"The Fighting Trail" is described on
the programme as the most marvellous
melodrsmatic photoplay serial ever
presented, and 1t promises 10 be.
It would seem that there is good ma
terial in THE Divorcee," which WAS
shown yesterday in the Vitagraph pro-
lection room, and yet the result is dis
appointing. Perhaps it would have been
a better twO-reel picture than 10 was a
fye-reel one. Mary Anderson is sweet
and pretty, but one becomes tired Of
five reels of smiles and dmples, with
nothing in particular TO hold them to-
gether, and little Miss Anderson is
capable of better things.
Wanda Carson goes on a visit 70
Reno, and it seems that there is some
thing in the atmosphere which sus-
gests divorce, for, although Wanda
never had been married, she immedi-
ately decided that during her brothers
absence il would be exciting 10 become
a diyorcee. So she rigs up a Fictitious
husband, borrows a baby and joins the
colony.
As Wanda looks about sixteen years
old and still wears ringlets, there is
reasonable doubt in the minds Of the
other women, but she points 10 her
borrowed child and says: "Do you want
better proof than that"
Evidently Wanda never had seen any
modern plays At any rate, Wanda de-
serts her sister Divorces a little later,
after meeting a young minister who is
preaching Down with Divorce" for
"when il comes to man in the case
they're as like as row of pins and

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund

30 per cent had no other knowledge of
life than that which they had absorbed
in the tenement districts. The Trib-
une Fund does not mean 10 imply that
this ratio would hold good for all the
tenement children of the city; no fig
ures are obtainable for so broad a gem
eralization. But these three groups of
children indicate the possibilities Of
the situation. There are thousands of
boys and girls in the city to-day to
whom the country is only hearsay.
Think of that, New York; And then
help the Tribune Fresh Air Fund res
cue these lads and lassies. Send in
your contribution 70 the vacation fund,
send it quickly, for the summer is al
most gone.

HOOVER ORDERED TO
 START FOOD CONTROL
Continued from page one,

ing food and eliminating waste ad- mits of no further delay.
 "The approaching harvesting. the immediate necessity for wise use and saving not only in food but in all other necessities of life and the many undirected and overlapping efforts be ing made toward this end, all press for national direction and inspiration. While it would in many ways be de sirable to wait complete legislation establishing the food administration, it appears to me that so far as the voluntary effort can be assembled. We should not wait any longer. and there fore, would be very glad if you would proceed in those directions at once.
 Hoover Given Authority.
 "The women of the nation are earn. estly seeking to do their part in this, our greatest struggle for the main. tenance of our national ideals and in no direction can they so greatly assist as by enlisting in the service of the food administration and cheerfully ac. cepting its direction and advice. By so doing. they will increase the sur plus of food available for our own army and for the export to the allies.
 "To provide adequate supplies for the coming year is of absolutely vital importance to the conduct of the war, and without a very conscientious elim- ination of waste and very strict econ omy in our food consumption, we can not hope to fulfill this primary duty.
 'T trust, therefore, that the country will not only respond to your appeal and accept the pledge to the food ad- ministration which you are proposing, but that all men also who are en- gagged in the personal distribution of foods, will keep with the same earn estness and in the same spirit.
 q give you full authority to under take any steps necessary for the prop CT organization and stimulation of their efforts"
