TOO, sang tho music finely and with ex-
cellent diction. Praise, too, should go
to Mmo. Matzenauer, MIR. Schlcgcl. Mr..
Leonard and Mr.. Ruysdael, while Mr..
Hodnnzky gavo to the orchestral por-
tion Of the opera unlimited sympathy.
1t was good, too, to hear an English
translation. which was both slngablc
and dignincd.
And yet, whom all Is said and done,
tho performance Of saint Elizabeth. y
with the exquisite beauty Of the Anal
apotheosis, left Its auditors genuinely
moved. Religion is rarely encountered
IN the opera, despite the phianderings
OF Gounod and of Massenct, yet last
night the last curtain fell upon n mood
OF religious calm which was almost as
n bcncdiction.
1t was not the music which formed
this mood. but rather the spirit which
seemed TO animate the whole perform
ance. Who produced this spirit it
would be futile to inquire. Enough
that it was there, and that suddenly
the sensuous, turbulent, struggling
world had vanished and that we were
in the centre Of q spiritual mystery.
A devout Catholic might we'll have said
that Saint Elizabeth herself had de-
scended upon the house. For that
final. breathless moment all else can
be forgiven.

Century Amusement
Corporation Fails
Operating Company Admits
Lack of Ready Funds to
Paw Debts

Receivers were appointed yesterday
to take charge Of the affairs Of the
Century Amusement Corporation, which
has been operating the Century Thea

the musical show being produced there
by the company at the present time,
closes tomorrow night.
The application for receiver was
made in a creditors equity suit brought
by Miss Flore Revalles. who was a
member of the "Mlss 1917" company up
to a short time ago. Leon Laski, coun-
sci for she company. who appeared in
its behalf before Judge Martin T. Man
ton in the Federal District Court, ad-
mitted that while the company owned
theatrical property of considerable
value, il did not have the funds TO pay
its debts at present. In consequence,
he joined in the petition for a receiver,
and Judge Manton named Frederick G.
Latham and Andrew F. Sullivan to take
over the company.
In her complaint Miss Revalles al
,cged that she has due $4,000. She also
stated that other obligations of the
company known to her amounted 10
over 100000.
"The Century Girl" last season and
the present show were staged by
Charles Dillingham; and Florenz Zieg-
field, jr. The former. according to the
complaint, retted the producing COM
pany S720,000.
The present failure of the theatre Is
one of several charged against what
was originally planned to be Americas 8
most no cd contribution to the world
of the drama. It was built originally
as on endowed institution under the
name New Theatre.

Roosevelt Urges
All Republicans to
Vote for Suffrage

Theodore Roosevelt took q hand yes
terday in the efforts of the Republican
party to help the Federal suffrage
amendment in Congress. Republicans
claim that more than two-thirds Of
their entire membership in Congress
will be for the woman's amendment
and that T it fails it will be because
the Democrats have failed to give it a
proper amount of support.
Colonel Roosevelt's aid came in the
form of a letter written to William
R. Wilcox, chairman of the Republi-
can National Committee, urging the
Republican organization to get Re-
publican congressman to support the
bill. He also advocated adding to the
national committee one woman men,
ber from each suffrage state.
Colonel Roosevelts Letter
Colonel Roosevlt's letter was as fol-
lows:
II earnestly hope that the Repub-
lican party as such will do everything
possible to get all its representatives.

stitutional amendment giving women
suffrage This is no longer an aca-
demic question. The addition of New
York to the suffrage column, I think,
entities us to say that as matter both
Of justice and of common sense the
nation should no longer delay to give
women suffrage.
"Wil you also let me urge as
strongly as possible that there be an

Music

Under the auspices Of the Zimrei
Yoh Society and the leadership Of
Bernhard Steinberg, mixed chorus
"of sixty artists" gave recital or, as
the programme called it, "revival" Of
Hebrew liturgical music. at Aeolian
Hall last night. Presumably, the pro-
gramme was representative of the
music which has been written for the
synagogue service in the last few dec
AIDES. The composers were all Of east
ern European origin and rcjoiced in
the most academic type of musical edu-
cation. Their music shows it.
If any traditional tunes were used
in these compositions they were freely
altered and wholly obscured in the
conventional choral writing, which,
capable though it is, is repres
of nothing but uninspired Church
music" among all sects and creeds. The
reviewer is loath to believe that the
programme represented Hebrew ritual
music at its best Certainly the COM
posers might take hint from the mod
ern Russian composers for the Greek
ritual -GretchaninoR in particular
and write their elaborate works in the
manner and spirit of their traditional
melodies.
The "sixty artists" sang with much
vigor and precision the Biblical He
brew words. The sopranos were in
clined to be shrill in the loud passages
and the men muddy" but the en-
semblc was generally pure and well
balanced.
The Symphony Society, under Mr.
Damrosch, gave one OF the "austere'
programmes, beloved of DIR. Muck, at
Carnegie Hall in the afternoon. Mr.
Gabrilowitsch played the Brams Il
fiat concerto with impeccable discre-
ton, though upon a somewhat unre-
sponsive piano. The orchestra played
splendid accompaniment, or, rather
in the Brahms score, an obbligato. Fol
this work quite transcends the conven
tional concerto form of "solo and &C
compartment" 1t is so filed with
music that it seems to overflow the
established limits, and the soloist be
comes but one musician in the sym
phony. The Brahms third symphony
which furnished the first half Of the
programme, was likewise we'll played.
Altogether, the "austerity" of sucf

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Some peo
pie contend that prohibition is more
strongly supported by public opinion
IN the United States than woman suf-

president of the National American

principal speakers to-day. They vigor-

was illegal and unnecessary and woul q
put Congress in the position Of saying
that it recognized womens right to
vote, but had proposed the most diff

stered.
Mrs. Gait said:
