Many Novelties at Third
Chamber Music Concert
Aeolian Hall Audience Shows
Its Appreciation

The New York Chamber Music So
ciety, which under the direction Of
Carolyn Beebe has been doing some ex-
cellent work in the local music world,
gave IT'S third concert last night at
Aeolian Hall With one exception, that
of the opening Beethoven Trio for
piano. clarinet and cello, the pro-
gramme was composed of novelties.
There was Jean lures Quintet in D
major, Karl Goepfart's Quartet for
flute, clarinet, oboe and bassoon, four
intermezzi by Henry Holden Huss and
Steinbachs Septet in A major.
Mr.. Huss's intermezzi were four of
mis- songs: Before Sunrise" at Was
a Lover and His Lass" "The Birds
Were Singing" and after Sorrows
Night" recomposed for voice, piano.
flute, oboe. clarinet, bassoon, French
horn, two violins, viola, cello and
double bass. The SONGS were sung
most sympathetically by H-s. Huss.
The arrangement proved TO be very
pleasing and found an altogether APP
propriate setting FOR the songs them
selves. Mr.. Huss has composed moth
ing more effective than these inter-
mezzi.
OF the other novelties, the Goepfart
Quartet possessed good deal of charm
and rhythmic beauty. The New York
Chamber Music Society is an organ
ization deserving of encouragement,
and last nights audience showed that
it was not unappreciative.

Mile. ellis Gives Recital
French Singer Heard by En-
thusiastic Audience

Mile. Gabrielle ellis. the French So
prano who appeared on Sunday night
at the concert at the Metropolitan
Opera House, gave her first public song
recital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall. Her audience was of nearly capac-
ity proportions, and testified in no un-
certain manner to the peculiar interest
felt at present in French song. Of
this art Mile. ellis is one of the most
satisfying interpreters New York has
seen for some time. Her voice is an
admirable one, flexible, of sufficient
range, and of much warmth and color.
Her diction possesses that clarity which
is peculiar merit of all French
lyric art, and her interpretations rare
poise and taste.
Her singing of Duparc's "Chanson
Triste," of Debussy's "Fantoches" and
Of the Faure group were examples of
her mastery of the modern school.
while she showed perhaps deeper vir-
tues in her airs of Mozart and Gluck.
Nile. ellis is most welcome 70 our
shores. She ought to find a place in
the hearts Of the lovers of French
song such as is held by Nine. Culp in
the field OF German tteder.

quite possible for two actors TO do a
thing in totally different manner and
both be right. We would not nave
Arliss more mellow. IL is true that
he makes love somewhat inepay, but
man who is supposed 20 DC making love
for the first time in forty years should
not be an adept. By no means should
ne crumple the heroine. We were
among those who found the Paganinl OF
Mr.. Arliss distressingly frigid IN ms
scenes of passion. but there should be
somewhat less fire in the professor than
in the musician. This is fragile ro-
nance. Arliss is as much IN love
as any man ought TO be when he's past
forty.
Nor is there, to our mind, any lack
of appeal in the Professors scenes OF
vistfulness. There will never be a
futter of handkerchiefs as Arllss
plays these scenes, but they are not
intended 10 have any of the "lf you
don't want her, want her." character
The Professor is a gentleman who can
take a blow without disturbing the
neighbors.
And. by the way, Barrie's conception
OF an eminent authority on electricity
is cross between a Greenwich VIZ
lage free verse poet and a middle aged
Methodist parson. That makes no dit-
ference. The character may lack blood
but he has Barrie in his veins to make
them bound as good as real ones.
Next 10 Arliss, the best performance
is that of Ethel Dane, as the Dowager.
This is rarely humorous. Jeanne
Eagels is a pleasing Lucy White. Her
light comedy scenes are better than
her one emotional outburst. Grant
Stewart is an excellent doctor. and
Molly Pearson makes the most OF her
opportunities as Effie.
"The Professors Love Story" is a
good old play with a good young cast.
This is the play about what every man
<nows. IL is the doctor who says:
when women love US We should never
ask why. All we can be sure is that
they see something in US that isn't
there"

The Coming Tower
TO BERTRAND RUSSELL

AFTER READING WHY MEN FIGHT
There is a facile and familiar way
To courage one in comradeshp may be
Herded in the habitua array
of flushed and furious humanity.
There in the close warm fellowship Of fear,
HuddIed with many friends, one may rejoice
To Iaud the scarlet idols they hold dear,
To be their favored unprophetc voice.
Or one may choose the graceless strenuous vision
Gazing with spacious and eternal view,
Clear eyed and terrible through mems dedslon,
To sting them with cleansing faith, as you
In friendless and forbidden paths have fought
To wave white truths from lonely peaks OF thought

COL. HOUSE TO AID

Conference

New York Sept 27.-Col. E. NJ. House

unof1icially on several missions, ad-
fnitted tonight that he had been re-
quested by the President to aid in col
lecting data to be presented at the
peace conference at the close of the
war.
The announcement that the Presi-
dent has asked me to aid him in his
work carries with it no immediate sig
nificance," said Col. House. For more
than two years all of the European
belligerents have been gathering data
to be laid on the table at the peace
conference. The United States is be-
lated in taking up its activities along
this line.
Il shall work with the state depart
.ment, already interested in endeavors
along this line, gathering material
which will be valuable at some future
time"
No conferences with representatives
of governments now engaged in prep
aration of data are planned. Col. House
said.

YOUNG GIRL ACTS
AS THOUGH CRAZY

Portland. Me-. Sept. PA girl APP

Monument Square yesterday and she
became so violent that Police Officer
William White was obliged to take
her in charge. She ran across the
square paying little attention to the
large amount of traffic and was nearly
run down twice. Near the Fidelity
building she struck an elderly man
without provocation and also startec
to attack a little girl but was held
before she injured the little one.
Her talk was incoherent and she
was unable, or unwilling 10 give her
