For Rehabilitation
Of Jews Is Planned

bers of Race to Make Them
Self-Supporting

Launching of d world wide pro-
gramme Tor reconstruction of the Jew
ism race was announced last night by
Felix NJ. Warburg, chairman of the
JOINT distribution committee of the
American Funds for Jewish War Suf-
ferers.
Inc programme calls for the raising
OF s.. 1000 100000 to establish Jews
all over the world. a self-supporting,
economically independent basis. Con.
'trlbutions are requested from ever,
Jew in the United States, and the state
ment made plain that loans and sub
scriptions from non-Jcwish sources
Will be welcomed.
AS prelude to the work American
Jews Will be sent TO Russia. Rumania
Poland, Palestine, Serbia Greece. Bull
garla and every other country where
Jewish populations exist.
At present it is estimated that ex.
elusive of the Jews in the United
States, one-quarter of the Jewish pop
ulation of the world is in a destitute
condition. Of the balance of the 9,OOO,-
600 to 100000 Jews scattered
throughout the world it is declared at
least onc-h&f. at the conclusion Of
peace. Will need assi tance before they
can hope to become self supporting
"America has learned through the
Liberty Loan said Mr.. Warburg, in
announcing the reconstruction plan last
night, "the value of loans, and how
these can be made to accomplish what
cannot be accomplished by contribu-
tions. A large amount of the money
required to carry out the programme
for Jewish reconstruction will be OBJ
tained through loans, which will repay
not only the principal advanced, but
dividends, and will include the graft
tude of the Jewish people. The oppor-
tunlty will be given to enable as large
c number as possible to become self
supporting, and in this way the prin-
cipal will be amply secured, for once
this purpose is accomplished it will be
possible to arrange for repayment of
the sums advanced"
The commissions soonH to be sent
abroad will be made up of experts in
philanthropy, social service, cduca
ton and business. Their aims in
clude preliminary relief work, scicn-
tifc study of needs, employment Of
labor for the public welfare, supply
ing raw. materials, construction Of
vocational schools, provision for sp;r-
itual and moral welfare, and the re
turn Of American citizens to the United

Music
Miss Lacroix Gives Musi-
cianly Recital at Aeolian
Hall
By RI. E. krehbiel

Whether it be irrelevant to the days
critical record, or even an imperti-
nence, it is sometimes so pleasant a
thing to extend sincere and hearty
welcome to newcomer to our concert
rooms that it is assuredly pardonable.
The rareness of the occasion in itself
offers an excuse for it's exercise. Miss
Amore Lacroix, then, who gave re-
cital Of pianoforte music in Aeoian
Hall yesterday afternoon, is cordially
welcomed to the ranks of concert
givers. She ought TO be heard and
because, possibly, she sought metro
politar hearing to obtain favorable
opinions from the metropolitan news
papers, but because she deserves to be
heard. She brought with her the proofs
that she has an artistic mission and
laid them before her hearers in her per-
formance. In the nature Of things it
cannot be large nor unique mis-
sion, but such as it is she has she
equipment, technical, intellectual and
emotional TO fulfil it. She cannot sup
plant more mature, more generously
gifted artists who have won their
places and maintain them, but she can
take her place among the stars of diff
ferent and lesser glory. She played
Schuberts Sonata. Op. AZ, at the OPEN
ing of her concert, and in moment
the discriminating amongst her listen
ers had reason TO know that here was
an intcrpretativc artist of thoroughly
musical fibre, one with imagination that
could penetrate to the heart of q COM
position and repeat its throbbing
pulsings so spontaneously as to evoke
an echo from the hearts of the listen
ers. A re-creative artist with not only
the knowledge Of what to do but also
with technical command of the agen-
cies Of expression. There is no sug-
gestion Of soulless mechanism in her
digital skill Her fingers evoke the
voices in the melodic and harmonic
fabric: they sing each its own song.
with continuity and nice adjustment of
nuance of color and emphasis, and
make harmony of the composers idea.
In short Miss LacroiX does not play the
piano; she plays music upon the piano
forte, which is often a very different
and always a difficult thing. After the
Schubert sonata came other pieces, un-
familiar compositions by Edward Royce
and E. r. Blanchet which her art made
as interesting as they could be made,
and familiar compositions by Chopin in
which her fancy and Imagination werc
shown to be warm and healthy. She
gave an interesting concert.

"a Stitch in Time" by Oliver D.
Bailey and Lottie NJ. Meaney at the
Fulton Theatre is dramatization of
the story of Cinderella. This plot has
found its way to the stage many times,
but that is hardly an objection, since
1t only goes to prove the dramatic
worth of the tale. 1t suffers some
what IN the present retelling, because
the authors have insisted on stripping
Cinderella of all sense as we'll as fine
raiment. The young woman's obses-
sion is sacrifice. She is prepared to
give herself the worst of it whenever
opportunity offers.
1t must be remembered that the
original Cinderella took the glass slip
per when it was offered to her and did
not say, "Oh, no, give it to one of my
homely step-sisters." Phebe-Ann of
"A Stitch in Time" was not like that.
When she found the young woman to
whom her adored one was engaged
absolutely worthless, she insisted on
helping along the romance at every op-
portunity. Only the interference of
an old family retainer prevented the
heroine from running her own life and
some more.
But there was no denying the fact
that she was sweet. AS matter of
TACT; all the characters fell into one
or the other Of two cruets. They were
ail as mild as oil or as bitter as vine
gar. The heroine. Miss Phoebe-Ann,
was only slightly sweeter than the
hero. When FOUNDERS called him up
to play poker be put them off with
good advice, and when he wasn't paint
ing pictures he was engaged in making
Phoebe Ann change all her "aint's" to
isn't" Ralph Kellard, who played
the role. gave a performance which
made Shelley Hull's struggling young
genius of coupre of seasons back
seem like a caveman. Irene Fenwick
