New Picture Palace
Opened to Public
Theatre Scores a
Great Hit With "The Un-
chastened Woman"

The new Symphony Theatre, at
Broadway and 95th Street, opened its
doors to tho public last night, after
being Informally presented to an in
vited gathering Friday evening.
The new theatre used, not so long
ago. to be a market, owned by Vincent
Aston, and later it was a skating rink.
This accounts for it's peculiar con-
struction, which is quite unlike any
of the contemporaneous movie palaces.
The Symphony Theatre Is we'll named.
Both in the construction and in the
decorations it is a Wolk Of art.
There are no balconies. but the floor
| space is enormous and the seats are
slightly elevated. Also they are ar
ranged in groups of two. three, four,
five and six, which will eliminate the
crowding in and out Of many persons
during the performance. All around
the theatre is q mezzanine divided up
Of these in the back Of the house.
They arc fitted with willow easy
chairs made famous by Samuel
Rothapfel when he built his new
Rivoli. The ceiling is low and raft
cred and the color decorations are
coral and brown and yellow and pale
green.
1t is a very lovely and very restful
theatre and rivals in its completeness
the big downtown motion picture pal
aces. 1t is owned by Aubrey M. Ken
nedy.
The programme opens with a patri-
otto tableau showing. the rape of
battlefront in France. This is done
in the style made popular by Coney
Island at the time Of the Johnstown
flood. 1t is not particularly thrilling,
but what follows is much better. 1t
Is a group of exceedingly comely
young women dressed IN the flags of
the Allies.

with Mile. Clara Tosca as the prima
ballerina.
The feature picture is 1.-THE Un-
chastened Woman" with Grace VAL
entine In the title role. Miss Valen-
tine is quite too marvellous in this
role. She seems to possess everything
that no one knew she had before,
height, dignity and force, also fiend-
ish disposition. While admirng her
splendid art one longs to kill her for
being what she is.
The subject was difficult one to
handle, being concerned chiefly with
the psychology Of the unchastened
woman, but it makes a remarkably in
teresting photoplay. Victor Suther-
land is the architect whom the un-
chastened woman claims as her own
on sight. Mildred Manning is the Gus
tom house lady who is accused by
the woman of being her husbands
mistress and later indicated. Frank
Mills, as the long suffering husband,
does some of the best work of his
career: The whole cast is extremely

Russians Thank Wilson
N. Y. Organization Pleads for
American Intervention

Resolutions were adopted last night
at the Russian Political Club, 80 River
side Drive, expressing gratitude to
President Wilson for withholding rec
ignition from the Bolsheviki, and en-
phatically urging Immediate military
force"
In support Of the appeal for armed
intervention, it was pointed out that
the Brest-Litovsk treaty, which released
new battalions against the Americans
and Allies on the West. was ratified by
the Bolsheviki, and that the Bolsheviki
were neither political party nor rep.
resentative of Russia, being composed
largely of sinister demagogues, out
casts of the monarchical regime and
criminal elements of the present chaos
1t also was pointed out that Germany
was utilizing the present wait-and-see
policy to mould Russia to its own ends

Opposes BARNARD Plan
Labor Union Against Employ
ing Women in Saloons

The Central Federated Union went
on record yesterday as being opposed
to the enactment of any law which will
make the employment of barmaids
legal. Resolutions asking for govern
ment control of the telegraph systems
Of the country were also adopted.
The union declared that the excuse
offered by the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association for urging the passage Of
law at the next Legislature which
will permit barmaids to replace men
that the government had placed bar
tenders among those employed at non
essential labor, was a subterfuge in
asmuch as men past the draft age
could be secured, providing living wages
were paid.
In urging government control Of tel
egraph companies, the union declared
them to be un-American and tyrannical
in their opposition to organized labor.

Great Demonstration of
Many Nationalities in
Central Park
Babies, Too, Patriotic
Red, White and Blue Car
riages Near Head of
the Parade

Five thousand children of Yorkville,
dressed in the bright colored cos
tunes of the foreign countries from
which their fathers came, pledged
allegiance to the United States in a
Flag Day pageant in Central Park
yesterday afternoon, the second day
of the city's loyalty demonstration.
Over their heads futtered the flags
CT nearly every country in Europe,
the pale blue of Greece side by side
against the green background of the
trees with the tricolor of France ana
the green and red of Italy. In the
centre of a great square in front of
the grandstand stood the staff of the
Stars and Stripes, around which the
khaki clad boys Of the American
Guard stood at attention.
Four-year-old Johnny Mahoney, in
the arms of policeman, pulled the
rope that raised the flag aloft, while
the entire host stood with uncovered
heads and right arms pointing to the
flag.
Mayor Hylan and Senator Robert F.
Wagner, from the grandstand. led in
the recitation Of the oath of alleg-
lance:
81 pledge allegiance to the flag,
and to the republic for which it
stands; one nation indivisible, with
liberty and justice for ALL"
Veterans of the War There.
In addition to the five thousand
children from public and parochial
schools and orphan asylums of York
vile there were in the parade which
preceded the pageant representatives
of the political clubs-with the new
women voters auxiliaries marching
proudly beside the men-veterans Of
many European wars, carrying the
flags under which they had made their
first struggle for liberty, and neigh
borhood clubs of Slovacs, Russians.
Greeks, Bohemians and Italians. The
Suftragists, mothers clubs, the Camp
Fire Girls and Red Cross workers. led
by delegation of nurses ready to 90
to the front, and farmerettes also had
their picturesque place in the parade.
Nor were the babies forgotten. Thew
were placed near the head of the pro-
cession in their red, white and blue
baby carriages, waving their rattles
ecstatically at the Mayor. The first
prize in the baby carriage contest went
to Joseph Gertner, who as an infant

Display Is Placed Beside
French Fighters Loaf in
Napoleonic War
Show to Last a Week
Housewives To Be Taught
Use of Substitutes to
Assist Allies

A dried hunk Of grayish bread,
soggy looking and sour and no bigger
than mans fist, lies in a little glass
case at the Conservation Isod Show at
Grand Central Palace. 1t is real SOL
dier's loaf, and during the siege Of
Paris it was all that French fighter
got for daily bread ration. Close
beside it is a reproduction of six
penny loaf, made in England in 1901,
during the Napoleonic wars, when
wheat rose to q price of So bushel.
A reproduction of United States
soldiers daily diet is in .he glass case,
too. Beside the food of former wars
it looks like feast, and because of its
scientific preparation the result of this
war will be very different from that
o. 1870
The daily ration of the United
States soldier. made up in wax models
by the American Museum Of Natural
History in the interests Of conserva-
ten, is shown to consist CT meat, pota-
toes, prunes, beans, coffee, butter, salt,
syrup and lard. His meals go some
thing like this: Oatmeal
with milk and sugar, pork sausages.
fried potatoes. bread and butter, coffee.
Dinner-Roast beef, baked potatoes,
bread and butter, cornstarch pudding,
coffee. Supper-Beef stew, corn bread,
karo, tea, prunes.
What Revolutionist Got
He must have food which will pro-
duce 4,199 calores daily. Compare
this with his ancestor of revolutionary
times. In those days a soldier got a
pound of beef and pound of bread a
day, and one pint of milk, onehalf
pound of rice or cornmeal, three pints
of beans or peas and one quart of
spruce beer or cider week On that
the Revolutionary War was won.
The British government sent the ex-
hibit of war bread to the museum so
that we might be reminded of what
has taken place in wars before this
1t sent, too, a poster with prices of
meats in Paris in 1870. Here they are,
and they make present day prices look
pale: Fine mule steak, $1.25 q pound;
elephant meat, 1915 q pound; lorse
cuts, SLIP a pound; crows at SIP
each and rabbits at s11.25. There are
others, too. much less savory but in
great demand at that time.
The entire exhibit at the Grand Cen
trail Palace is to teach the use of SUBJ
stitutes for things which the govern
ment needs for it's allies and fighting
men. Thousands Of housewives came
yesterday to the cooking schools of the
government, there to get tips on cult
nary tricks which would transform less
