doors. We found it impossible 10 be-
come distressed or even acutely inter
ested in the home life of Mr.. Murphy
even when he puffed up passion and
then beloved it into tatters.
Admitting that "Home Again" was
produced under difficult conditions, we
doubt whether it is piece of much
dramatic worth. Robert McLaughlin's
play Is advertised as dranlatization
Of the folk poems and stories of James
"hitcomb Riley. Obviously the enter
talnment depended more largely on the
work of the dramatist than that of the
poet. Riley's poems supplied little
more than the names of the characters
and a few suggestions as to their per-
sonalltles. 1t was necessary to supply
a story. dull one has been devised
AN attempt has been made, also, to
create something of the atmosphere of
the Riley poems, but it came to little
more than the occasional introduction
ticularly helpful, because every actor
lntrusted with poem insisted on elo-
cutting 1t to death. Occasionally Nc
Laughiin has contributed flash OF
Characterization, and the first act con-
talns the elements of an entertaining
story. After that the plot grew con-
ventional, but at the same time man
&ge0 TO be muddled.
The lateness Of the opening made il
necessary for US to leave before the
last act. but earlier in the evening the
gedy Man was the father of Orphant
Annie. Several love stories were also
we'll underway and happy ending
seemed to be in prospect.
Tim Murphy was heartily applauded
tor his characterization of the Raggedy
! Man, but we found it impossible to
share the enthusiasm of the first night
audience. 1t seemed to us that Mr..
Murphy overacted from the beginning
and he worked harder and harder as
the evening went on. There were mo-
ments when only the absence of skull
prevented him from saying a kindly
word for Yorick. We think better
performance might be achieved if the
stage manager would sew the front Of
MIR. Murphy's coat together very closely
and make him keep his hands in his
pockets like all good American actors.
Maclyn Arbuckle brought good humor
and mellowness to the Characterization
of Doc Townsend, the proprietor of 8
medicine show, and scene in which he
extolled the virtues of his remedy had
good comedy values. These will be de-
veloped even more fully when Mr.. Ar
buckle knows his lines better. In spite
of this handicap, he gave good per
formance, which was easily the best of
the evening. Henry Duffy did some of
his work we'll and Forrest Robinson
was effective.
Descending to the lowest form, of
criticism, we must say that no ingenue
has right to be as fat rs Miss An
toinette Walker. And VIC know all
about fat, too.

Drama
By Haywood Broun

Somebody wrote to the office the
other day, ''How do you become a
dramatic critic and is there any pay
connected with the position?r We in
tended at the time to dodge the first
question and explain in regard to the
other that critics were paid but that
no logical reason existed shy they
should be. If we had written the letter
promptly we would have gone on TO
say that since seeing plays was almost
the best fun in the world newspaper
owners must be actuated by quixotic
pride III forcing money o. reviewers.
Now NC are not so sure. There
we're bands and French sailors and
confetti and tin pans and everything
abroad in the streets last night. The
world was doing snake dance. And
while all that was going on we sat
in the playhouse and listened while
Tim Murphy faced the audience to
explain why he was an egg sile" from
his home; Every time Mr.. Murphy
soft-pedalled his voice for dramatic
effect the sound of the tin pans and
the bands came in through the closed

The Opera

courage and patriotism-and their COM
miseration for the amiable weakness
from which even his Greek prototype
the son of Zeus and Alcmene, was not
exempt. This can be said of the action
OF the singer, as we'll as his song.
Signor Caruso's heroics are seldom
more than the melodramatic conven-
tions of the Italian operatic stage; but
the figure which he presents in the
last act of the sghtless, contrito,
chastened, humble slave whose spirit
flames up anew under the taunts OF
the Philistines in the temple Of Dagon
as it had been first kindled by the
lamentations Of his own people is one
Of real pathos and power. His imag,-
nation seems to have caught fire here,
and a consuming flame inspires his
acting as we'll as his singing.
NJ Couzinou, the new barytone, is
distinctly valuable addition TO M.
Gattl's forces-an artist familiar
enough with the stage to respect its
best traditions and make them re-
srected; singer with voice of ex-
cellent quality, though of light timbrc,
a master of diction, in which respect
he had but one companion last night,
the heavyvoiced Rothier, and a cap
able singer. Obviously, the parts which
fall to his lot this season will be we'll.
even If not strikingly, cared for.
For the listeners to "Samson ct
Ialila" two significant and mournful
reflections ought to nave been called
up by last nights representation. The
opera was begun in 1869. 1t was in
progress Of composition when the wa,
broke out between France and Ger
many. When the second act was fin
ished it was privately rehearsed and at
the trial the music Of the hero was
sung by Henri Regnault, the painter
A few months later he lay among the
dead on the field of battle and in 1872
the composer comVemorated his friend
in the "Marchc Heorique." Avenged at
last is the first representative of Sam
son! How like an echo of the lament
able thoughts Of thousands of the COM
poser's countrymen during the last four
years are the words Of the doleful
canticle sung by the chorus Of Hebrews
at the beginning of the tragedy:
Nous avons WI nos cites renversees
TT les gentils profanants ton autel!"
New-York tribune., 1918-11-12
Music

Alfred Cortot, the French pianist,
whose two previous appearances with
the Conservatoire Orchestra had al
ready been marked with both popular
and critical approval, gave his first COM
plete recital yesterday afternoon in
Aeclian Hall. 1t goes without saying
that NJ. Cortot again pleased. Such q
sincere, musicianly artist whose tech
nical command is that of a true vir-
tuoso, could not holp but please, vet
there were stretches, and especially in
the Chopin Prelude, he gave all
twenty four, when he seemed less com
pletely satisfying than he had been
with orchestra. He was no less the
musician or the craftsman, but he did
seem to be less the poet. His touch
often lacked the caressing quality so
needed in Chopin, and his interpreta-
tions were not always free from a sus-
picion of academic aridity He was
more to the average listeners liking
III Vivaldi's Concerto da Camera,
where his sense Of line and his polish
of style were gratefully evident Other
things on his program we're, an
"ldylle" of Chabrier, Saint-Saens's $
"Etude en- formc de Valse," and group
of Debussy. A large audience showed
abundant enthusiasm. G. V.
