FILM LUCK SAVES HEROINE
Ruth Stonehouse Near Death in Blue
birds SANITY Sinner"

"The SANITY Sinner" Bluebird
feature picture, was shown in the com
panys projection room yesterday. IL
seemed as though Jane Lee deliberately
walked into trouble, so much of which
might obviously have been avoided, but
then there would have been no story.
Ruth Stonehouse also plays the inno-
cent and prosecuted heroine. and hard
Is seems sufficiently endowed with GER
tain qualities to have driven men to
desperation. but then, OF course, one
never can tell about men.
If she had not been so terribly fas-
cinating she would never have had TO
90 to Jail in the first place. As it is,
Jane spends her time when she is not
in prison in defending her honor, and
when she finally shoots John Brock she
il sentenced to the electric chair.
The governors son. who is a prodigal
not vet returned, learns of her pre-
dicament, and, catching the Santa Fe
express, rushes into his fathers cham
hers as Jane is being fastened in the
chair. The executioner turns on the
current and just as one thinks it is all
over he announces calmly "a fuse blew
cut"
With luck like that one need not
worry.

GERALD MAS, 'CELLIST,
MAKES NEW YORK DEBUT
Assisted by Gabrilowitsch at Comedy
Observation-Disclosures at Aeolian Hall

Gerald Mas, a 'cellist new 10 New
York, gave a recital yesterday after
noon at the Comedy Theatre. He was
assisted in the opening number, the
Strauss Sonata in major, by Ossip
Gabrilowitsch, who, needless to say,
performed his part admirably. Mr..
Mas himself seemed 20 be a well
grounded musician, with fairly evenly
developed technique. His tone was
good. and his playing, If not really
brilliant, that of an artist conversant
with his instrument Among his num-
bers was one by his accompanist. Miss
Mana Zucco, a Baliade ct Tarantelle.
Another afternoon recital occurred
at Aeolian Hall, when Beryl Rubin
stein. assisted by a string quartet
consisting OF Ludwig Marum, Michel
Bernstein, Herbert Borodkin and Morris
Cherasky, gave his third piano recital
Of the season. Mr.. Rubinstein is still
extremely young, but his talent is al
ready evident. What he lacks at pres
emit is in the emotional side of his art;
his technique is fluent and sure, and he
po,sesses both taste and assurance.
The quartet accompanied him In the
Bach ID minor concerto. and emong his
solo numbers was the Beethoven
Sonata, OPP. ., No. 3.

Will Obey All Its Rules

Mrs. Margaret Sanger, birth control
propagandist, now serving a thirty day
sentence in the workhouse, is not fol-
lowing the lead Of her sister, Mrs. Ethel
Byrne, who went on a hunger strike
there. She went through the form OF
eating three meals yesterday, and an
nounced that che was ready to obey all
the rules Of the institution. To-day
she will have some regular work to do.
The birth control clinic on Amboy
Street. Brooklyn, which was responsible
for the appearance OF both Mrs. Sanger
and Mrs. Byrne on the island, was the
scene Yesterday OF a meeting OF pro-
test against Mrs. Sanger's sentence.
Miss Helen Todd presided over the
gathering, and Miss Fania Mandell, who
was fined $50 on Monday for giving out
books on "What Every Girl Should
Know" was one of the speakers.
Miss Mandcll sent this telegram to
President Wilson:
1--WE, the Mothers Birth Control
League, OF Brooklyn, protest against
the arrest and cruel Imprisonment OF
Mrs. Sanger, leader OF the birth-control
movement in America. and We demand
that Mrs. Sanger be freed pending
the appeal that is to be made against
the constitutionality of the law under
which she was sentenced, and we ap,,
peal to you for your assistance ana
great influence in our behalf.
Burdette G.. Lewis, Commissioner oil
Correction, made general denial yes,
terdav of the charges Of Mrs. Ethel
Bvrne. that conditions in the work
house at Blackwell's Island were IN
tolerable.
ave have never maintained that the
warehouse is a model institution he
said. Quite the contrary. The Board
of Estimate has recently appropriated
$40 600 TO reconstruct the south wing
as a hospital. s333,O0O to build
woman's farm colony, and $4,000 TO
reconstruct the Jefferson. Market de-
tention prison for women"
Regarding the criticism of the 1000
served TO prisoners, the Commissioners
said that the meat was the best the
market afforded, and the bread was
halter than most bread now served IN
the city. He declared that 1t seemed
strange that Mrs. Byrne knew al about
the food when she had never tasted an
official meal.

Music of Yesterday
Barrientos Appears at the
Metropolitan Opera
House

"Rigoletto" was presented that is
the popular theatrical phrase at the
present time) by Signor Gatti at the
Metropolitan Opera House last night.
Whether Verdi's opera, which contains
some elements of the lyric drama as II
was understood some 300 years ago
and was revived by Gluck, Beethoven,
Weber and Wagner a century or so
later, was performed, or sung, or rep
resented, is question which under
the present condition OF things does
not present itself to the reviewer a.
requiring a serious discussion. When
a houseful Of people who have paid
Metropolitan prices are so completely
convinced that they have had their
moneys worth as last nights audience
appeared TO be, any effort to conduct
an inquiry into the artistic elements of
the performance would seem TO be
waste Of time.
What if Signor Caruso persevered IN
a line of vocal dynsmics which sug-
gested that he conceived it to be the
purpose Of the Duke of Mantua, as
political ancestor of the German
Kaiser, to blow up a ship of the line
with every passionate phrase which
Verdi wrote, or that Nine. Barrlentos,
who this is the news of the occaslon),
sang for the first time here this sea-
son as Gilda, felt her way through the
music of the score like tiny neutral
yacht navigating a danger zone. the
public seemed delighted. Why disturb
such delightful neutrality OF thought
and taste?
Signor Caruso has reached the plane
where he is privileged to do what he
pleases with any operate role in which
he appears, and is made to realize that
so far as the public are concerned he
has done, can do, no wrong. And the
same public seems to have reached
state where volublity of utterance on
the part of soprano, whether or not
vocal beauty be possessed, or integrity
of phrase or timbre, is considered
enough to stamp any female singer as
an artist. AS for the rest, the opera
was presented as il was last year, with
Sienor de Luca very satisfactory
lester. II. X.
