ARKANSAS WOMEN
PUT ONE OVER"
THROUGH THE ASSISTANCE OF
CONGRESSMAN JACOWAY THEY
ARE GIVEN INTERVIEW BY
PRESIDENT WILSON.

Washington, Dec. 16-The Arkan-
sas delegation to the annual conyen-
ton of the National Woman Suffrage
Association here put one over on
the other delegates Friday, and incl
dentally aroused the green eyed mon
ster, by securing through the efforts
OF Congressman Jacoway the exclu-
sive interview with the president on
the suffrage question now so promi-
nently before congress II should be
understood that White House inter
views are few and far between, and
all plans for taking the suffrage
question up further with the presi-
dent had been called off by the
association early in the week
When word came from Mr. Jaco-
way to the Arkansas delegation that
the president would be at home at
1:45 o'clock they were in the thick
of important business proceedings.
but lost no time in scampering away
without explanations, leaving their
associates wondering If it was a bolt
of effort to start rival attraction.
When they got back to the CON
vention hall the cat was soon out,
and the other delegates were wild
with excitement and loaded with
questions.
What did the president say?"
Would he support the Anthony
amendment" How did you do II %
and mostly ''How did you ever do
it?"
Mrs. Gotham replied.
Well, now. 1t wouldn't be etiquette
for me to give out what our presi-
dent said. He was perfectly charm
ing and wholly satisfactory. We
went to him to assure him OF the
entire support of the Arkansas wo-
men for his war policies and what
ever he does, and in leaving we
must mention that we would be very
glad If he could find it possible to
support the federal woman suffrage
amendment, Arkansas women are
very loyal. We are confident that
President Wilson will do what is
right In regard to the amendment
as he does in everything else"
The Arkansas delegation is COM
posed of Mrs. T. r. Gotham, Mrs.
RutherfordFuller, Mrs Frank w.
Glib, Miss Gertrude Watkins. Miss
Josephine Miller. Mrs. Burt Roberts
and Mrs. j. f. Weinmann of Little
Rock, and Mrs. Mary Raymond of
Fort Smith
The women have secured the
pledge of the entire delegation in
congress from Arkansas to support
the amendment which will come up
soon after the holiday recess
They were received by the presi-
dent in the east room of the White
House prOper instead of the execu
tive offices, where wartime audiences
have been given. The eastern papers
have given much space to the scoop
of the Arkansas women in seeing
the president.

CONCERT is GIVEN
HERE BY VISITORS
FROM CINCINNATI

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
last night gave a concert IN Carnegie
Hall and was greeted sympathetically
by a large audience. New York Is no.
toriously polite TO visiting musical or
ganizations, even though it is At present
deluged with music and musicians.
The probable reason for the coming
of the Cincinnati Orchestra is the same
as that obtaining with all other outside
symphonic organizations, with, OF
course, the exception of our ever-wel-
come friend from Boston. New York
is-and here we must bid Mr.. Philip
Hale to hold his gnation-still the
music centre of America, and it Is only
natural it should exercise a certain
centrifugal attraction.
So il is that the new orchestras OF
the West, orcnestras which do much
useful wor. IN their communities, came
TO US. That they bring us any definite
artistic contribution Is TO be doubted,
but they do show US that the spirit OF
art moves upon the face of the region
beyond the mountains.
The Cincinnati Orchestra proved it.
self an excellent body OF musicians
It's leader, DR.. Ernest Kunwald, ap-
peared here ten years ago as guest
conductor with the PHILHARMONIC. Inc
band itself seemed as a rule well chos-
en-, though lacking somewhat in polish
and finish of style. Its strings are
good, its wood winds admirable, its
brass rather inferior.
1t played with vigor and spirit, even
if DR.. Kunwald missed many Of the
more delicate nuances of the Pastoral
Symphony, and let out too much noise
in the "Meistersnger" overture. The
concluding number, the Strauss "Sin-
fonia Domestica," the orchestra gave
with moderate effect.

they should be brief and humorous as
well. The folk in "The Lodger" are
neither.
Then, too, il is mistake 20 make
your best character anything but the
most important person in the play.
Miss Mercer was missed every minute
she remained of the stage For our
part we would have been glad 10 trade
some Of the hero's time for her pres
ence. Lionel Atwill is fair. but his
part becomes tiresome. Some day
dramAtists will learn that a person Is
not lovable simply because he is abb
sent-minded. II is only in plays that
the chump who drops his watch in the
coffee and winds the sugar bowl is al
lowed TO live on and on.
"The Lodger" begins in wheedling
manner. Some Of the flrst-night critics
were inclined to object because the
author has seen ft TO weave his farce
within hailing distance OF a series OF
murders, but IL is done dscreetly
enough, and we must confess that we
felt no horror. Rather cleverly the
playwright builds up a circumstantial
case against a young man who is seek
ing solitude because he was Tilted. The
landlady and her husband observe that
Nt ldhto lonE NJ HAEHAof NhhN lN
wishes absolute privacy and that he
has pistol.
Several more telling touches are add
ed, until at last the suspicious of those
who fancy him to be the mysterious
Avenger are logical enough. Naturally
also they seek to protect the young
lady lodger from his attentions. which
prove TO be honorable enough, although
he is a peer and she a penniless typlst.
We would not stand between their
marrying for a moment, but really their
lovemaking gets fesrfully in the way
OF the most interesting complications
OF the plot, which concern the police.
the murders and the suspicious which
are directed at the young lodger. Fully
half OF the third act Is given over to
them. A farce lover should be able to
WOO and win in half that time.
Naturally, everything comes out all
right at the end, when the police learn
that the young man Is none other than
the Earl OF Pwyford.
Harry Ashford gives an amusing per-
formanco as the landlord and Harold
Becker is good as a cockney detective:
Miss Phyllis Relph is attractive and
does her stint well enough for all pur-
poses. The play is far better than most

tion for the strength. dignity and
beauty Of its themes, the solidity and
symmetry Of its structure and the
manner in which respect for class
icism in form had been welded with
romsnticism of expression.
There was nothing new, but every
thing that was lovely and admirable, in
the music offered by the Kneisel Quar-
tet in Aeoian Hall in the evening. Mr..
Kneisel and his regular associates
played Haydn's Quartet In c, Op. "a,
and the first of Beethoven's Rasou-
moffsky quartets, and in the perform
ance there spoke out the old Viennese
spirit as only this chamber music or
ganization seems to have comprehended

Miss Berlyl Mercer sticks out OF a
rickety little farce like Alice in the
Rabbits house. "The Lodger" affords
her certain number of opportunities,
but she accepts these readily enough
and makes openings Of her own accord.
Her performance is just about as rich
and delicious low comedy work as we
have seen this season.
Horace Annesley Vachell calls his
farce an irresponsible comedy" He
has adopted this practice from London
commercial firms which add Limited"
TO their names TO mean that if anything
happens they didn't do it. Mr.. Vachell's
farce is not a complete success, because
he loiters. He allows his characters to
make love, and very inept love at that.

Street, only a single new theatre was
announced for construction yesterday
the shortage, il is claimed, being due
10 tho high cost Of white paper. The
house in question will be the Anna
Held Theatre. which the Shuberts an
nounce as being about 20 go UP in
Forty-fourth Street. At this playhouse
Miss Held will be presented in series
OF one-act French revues, requiring
casts OF eight to ten persons.
IL appears, further. that these enter
tainments will be designed for only the
smartest people. Doubtless, with this
fact in mind, it Is planned to construct
theatre seating less than three hun
dred persons. The plays will not begin
until Q o'clock. thereby, in the words
Of the announcement, giving the smart
people plenty Of opportunity to finish
their dinners and social engagements, ,"
and in view Of this inestimsble boon,
the price Of tickets will be five dollars
each.
A playhouse Of this sort was an
nounced for Gaby Deslys something
less than q year ago, and the announce
ment never did any harm.
Jeanne Esgels has succeeded Mar
gerry Maude as George Arliss's leading
woman in "The Professors Love Story,
which is scheduled to arrive in New

call for only a short season in the Bar

dependable "Disraeli."
