BILL
FOR MUSIC LOVERS
Stokowski Will Devote Next Con-
certs to MISREPRESENTATION
Symphony's Return

Tribute TO the genius Of Beethoven will
be paid by Leopold Stokowski and the
Philadelphia Orchestra in the pair of con-
certs listed for Friday afternoon and Sat
urday evening of next week at the Academy
of Music. The program will be purely in
strumental and will include an overture, two
symphonies and three "equali" for four
trombones. So much interest has been
manifested in these concerts, which have
been planned without a soloist, and so great
has been the enthusiasm of the audiences
on the occasion when the Orchestra itself
has been the feature that for the present
season It has been arranged that a number
Of purely orchestral concerts Will be given.
For them Mr. StoSowshi has planned pro-
grams of national music (slmllar to the
Russian program given several weeks ago., -,
as well as programs of one composer Sc
lected for the occasion.
For this weeks concerts Mr.. Stokowsld
has made a departure and has billed two
symphonies, the second, written by the mas
ter at a happy period of his life and the
immortal fifth, the best known and the
most admired of the nine Tho concert
opens with the overture to "Coriolanus
This Is followed by the Second Symphony
written in the year 1902, when the COM
poser was thirty-two years old. 1t reveals
the master in the normal condition of Il
man at peace with himself and the world
happy in his art and not yet stirred to his
very soul by the sorrows of life. It Is in
sharp contrast to the Fifth symphony,
which brings the concert to a close. The
first four notes of the opening movement,
which Beethoven himself said represented
Fate knocking at the door, give the clue
to the whole meaning of the symphony the
struggle of the Individual with fate the
alterations of hope and despair and the
final triumph. 1t is probably the greatest
work of its kind in the symphonic repertoire
The Three Equal for Four Trombones"
appears on the program in the light Of a
novelty. They are mainly in hymnal form
and are marked with a solemn beauty Of
harmony characteristic of the master. At
Beethoven's funeral a choir of sixteen men
singers and four trombones alternately
sang and played two of these Equal" ar
ranged to the words of the "Miserere" and
the "Amplius." The term Equal" is used
in music to denote voices of the same kind,
male or female, and is extended TO an
instrumental composition written in the
range of male or treble voices.
The first of a series Of five concerts given
annually by the Boston Symphony Orchestra
in this city will take place in the Academy
of Music on Monday evening. The orchestra

Nothing Soft in Her Contract

Ethel Gibson, who has Just signed a con-
tract with the King-Bee Films Corpora
tion to assist Billy West in the making of
their two reel comedies, got very tempera-
mental Just before leaving for Hollywood
Cal, and insisted that a clause be put in
her contract prohibiting the use Of GUS
tard pies. puddings or ice cream in any
scenes that she may be engaged In.
Miss Gibson's reasons for this clause
are plausible About a month ago while
working at the KlngBee studio at Bayonne
she played in comedy called "The Pest"
In this scene Billy West threw a pineapple
pie, but the baker that made the pie evil
IDENTIFY forgot to take some of the pine
out and something struck Miss Gibson I'm
the eye that sent her to the hospital for
two weeks.
Hence her inslstence on the pie clause.

returns, after its seven months absence.
it's last concert having been given here In
March.
The program for this first Philadelphia
concert is that which opened the Boston
season of the orchestra, October 12 and 13.
1t begins with the C.mlnor Symphony Of
Beethoven. In the second part are Ber.
lioz's overture to king Lear" Liszt's
Fifth Symphonic Poem entitled PRONE
theus" and the prelude to Wagner's
ner's "Parsifal" The king Lear" over
ture, which is opus No. Of Berliozs work,
Is rarely played, and consequently un-
familiar. The "Prometheus" OF Liszt is
one Of the least known Of his symphonic
poems and its revival has been warmly
appreciated by admirers of Liszt music.
Sascha Jacobinoff the Russian vlolinlst,
will make his first Philadelphia appearance
Of the season on Wednesday evening, No
vember IA, in Witherspoon Hall. Jacobin-
off has Just returned to the city for a few
days from the middle West, where, 1t is
said his recital and concert engagements
were highly successful. During his absence
the violinist and his accompanist, Clifford
Vaughan, had two appearances at the
Lockport festival and then concertized in
Benton Harbor, Ypsilanti, Chicago, Grand
Rapids, Buffalo and Youngstown, where
the violinist appeared In joint recital with
Martinelli.
On this past Western trip the critics re-
ferred to Jacobincff variously as Playing
with the soul of an artist and the hand
of n MASTER" as "a mastery violinist," "a
great tone artist" A large number Of en-
gagements have been listed for Jacobinoff
this season. including three with our own
Philadelphia Orchestra, one with the New
York Philharmonic Society and two with
the St Louis symphony Orchestra.
An interesting fact in connection with
Mr.. Stokowskis Dithyrambe, which IS an
nounced for performance by the Maquarre
Ensemble on Thursday evening November
Is, at Witherspoon Hall, is that 1t is one
of but few compositions written for flute,
cello and harp Following the ancient
Greek idea of the dithyramb as used in the
worship Of Dionysos, this work has been
fashioned in free. untrammeled recltative
style. The flute, which held principal sway
in the accompaniment Of the Greclan
dithyramb, combined with harp and cello
affords possibilities In tonal effects Of
which few composers have taken fullest
advantage.
Two of the other works announced by Mr.
Maquarre for first performance at the
coming concert are a trio for flute, violin
and VIOLA by Max Roger and a serenade by
Dvorak for two oboes, two clarinets, two
bassoons. three horns, cello and contrabass
Tho trio, while written in the contrapuntal
style characteristic Of Reger is never sacri-
feed in contents to mere manner of style
The Dvorak work is modelled on the form
of the old serenades, which were really the
prototypes Of the symphony. 1t Is subdi-
vided, in orthodox fashion, into four move.

BUDIED IN FRANCE.

Full military honors at burial can
not be hoped for by every Ameri-
can soldier in France. or along any
other part of a f~ar-fung battle line
to which duty may call them. But
there was appropriateness in the OBJ
sequies attending the burial of the
first three to fall by preconcerted
German attack, evidently designed by
the enemy as an exhibition of the
spirit of "The Song of Hate" against
the United States. The splendid ex-
hibition of courage fighting against
odds, compels the admiration of all
lighting men.
1t was under French military aus
pices the ceremonies were held. In
collins wrapped in the flag of the
United States, Privates Graham, Hay
and Enright were buried in the midst
of a hollow square formed of Ameri-
can and French troops. A French
general spoke the parting words.
Calling each dead man by name, he
said, "In the name of France / bid
you farewell. You fell facing the
foe in hard, desperate hand-to-hand
fighting. + = All honor to them.
Their families should be proud to
learn of their deaths. We of France
ask that the mortal remains of these
young men be left with us forever,
and we will inscribe on their tombs
Here lie the first United States SOL
diers to fall on French soil for liber-
ty and justice. Passers by will I'M
cover to their graves, men of heart
and soul will go out of their way to
bring their tribute or respect and
gratitude"
The monument which must mark
that spot will be the shrine of thou
sands of Americans when, in later
years, the fields are visited where
men of this nation are now again
paying "the last full measure of de-
votion" to American ideals. And
how well this devotion is being paid
is seer not only in the death of these,
but in the now more significant fact
that, in the volley fired over Their
graves, there was mingled the roar
of heavy guns manned by American
troops and directed against the enc.

"a RICH MANS WAR

The most vicious and contemplate
piece Of ~demagogy use by the So
cialists to weaken the country in the
face of the enemy is the cry that
this is q Erich mans war;" The men
who make this assertion can belong
only to two varieties, the man OBJ

and distorts his reason and the mar
who doesn't carr what he says so

Any one with any common sense,
any one whose theories or notions
have not abolished all perception of
human nature and human NOTES can
perceive that if this is a "rich mans
war" the rich men are the stupidest
class in the world. According to the
Socialist demagogues, they are far
from stupid when it comes to their
own selfish interest. Yet we are now
asked, in spite of this charge, to be-
lieve that these shrewd, powerful,
selfish capitalists have put this coun-
