that a headquarters for Alfred E.
Smith, Democratic candidate for Gov

Democrats in Room 1875 in the Bilt-

MOT for twenty-five years has the
Democratic party been SO united as it
is to-day behind Mr. Smith," said Mr..
Elkuss Democrats of every faction are
unanimous in his support. Beside that,
many men who heretofore have been
affiliated with the Republican party or
who have held aloof from party affilia-
tion have come out unreservedly for Mr..
Smith. The President and the Federal
Administration must have behind them

THE CAST.
BY Haywood Broun

"A Stitch in Time" by Oliver ID.
Bailey and Lottie M. Meaney at the
Fulton Theatre is dramatizatlon OF
the story of Cinderella This plot has
found its way to the stage many times,
but that is hardly an objection, since
it 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
honely step-sisters." Phnbe-Ann Of
"A Stitch In Time was not like that
When she found the young woman to
whom her sdored 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
But there was no denying the fact
that she was sweet. As a matter of
TACT: all the characters fell into one
or the other of two cruets. They were
all 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 he put them off with
good advice, and when he wasn't paint
ing pictures he was engaged in making
Phoebe-Ann change ali her "aint's" to
"isn'ts." Ralph Kellard, who played
the role, gave performance which
made Shelley Hull's struggling young
genius of a couple of seasons back
seem like q caveman. Irene Fenwick
did the best she could with Phoebe
Ann and was occasionally appealing
despite the handicap of her lines.
Although the hero starved for the
better part of three acts while he was
engaged in painting, fortune came to
him suddenly in the final act, when
somebody sent one of his stories to a
magazine. The heroine explained to
him that he had always possessed abil-
ity, and that the only trouble was he
had been on the wrong track We have
now seen three plays by Mr. Bailey,
and if there is anything in the theory
propounded in his present drama we
expect him td break out with great
glory some day as trombone player or
a sculptor.

mos most people in the world-to all. in
side Of Dai Nippon who had studied the
progress OF music in that country and
knew mat tor years its government had
encouraged the occidentalization of it's
music The policy, in fact, dates back
10 1871, when singing was put in the
curriculum of the public schools and an
institute of music WAS established for
the purpose Of training teachers to
carry out the purposes OF the Board of
Education. Mr.. isawa, the director of
the institute, recommended at the time
tnat new music be provided for the
schools by the careful revision Of
should seem good and the introduction
OF approved foreign music.
This sweeping reform decided upon,
the Japanese government engaged Mr.
Luther w. Mason, of Boston who was
gracefully and gratefully referred to
ny tne Japanese speaker who filed part
OF the lntermission between the two
parts of last nights programmed to
take charge Of instruction in the in
stitute. Mf. Mason remained in TOXIC
tlii the summer of 1882, got system
OF instruction under way and then re-
signed, his successor being F. Eckert,
a herman f1op I,
or the naval department. He left the
service in 1889, and it was he who ar
ranged the tune Of the national hymn
'klml-ga-.yo" for performance by a
military band. The arrangement was
omclally adopted by the government.
which accounts for the fact that he Is
widely credited with the authorship of
the music of the hymn. A likelier
STORY Is that the tune was written BY
a natiVe musician, Hayashi, in 1880;
but the melody has an antique flavor
aho 10 q Western eye at least seems
quite as characteristic as the poem
which tradition says came from COL
lect1on OF poems made at imperial com
mand at the beginning of the tenth
century of the Christian era.
