Opera
Rabaud's ''Marouf" Has Its Sec.
ond Presentation of Season
at Metropolitan

Rabaud's "Marouf" had its second
performance this season at the Metro
pclitan Opera House last night with
an unchanged cast and the same finish
and beauty of detail (down to the woe
full final picture) which have charac-
terized the earlier representations. The
audience was confaudience was con-
fined almost wholly to the Monday
night subscribers.
Rabaud's opera ought to grow in the
love and admiration of the public with
every hearing. 1t is equally a feast
for eye, ear and fancy and more in
telligencc and artistic feeling has been
expended upon its production than
upon any other half-dozen operas in
the repertory. 1t is unique among all
the operas which employ local color,
and the bubbling invention Of the COM
poser plays with equal freedom in
melodies of the Orient and the music
which smacks of modern France.
The orchestral score is a source Of
delight that never falters for mo-
ment. H. E. K.

Mantell Revives Louis XII
At 44th Street Theatre

Even if we have reiterated ROYALTY
to the scrap heap, there is still some
thing to intrigue the human mind in
the spectacle of king in dissolution.
Perhaps Robert Mantell has seized
that timely fact in reviving Louis XII.
at the Forty forty Street Theatre last
night Out of a play that procaims
its period as plainly as a horsehair
sofa, he has projected the character
of the senile old King with a startling
sense of unchanging human quality.
Cruelty revengeful, abjectly super
stltlous, feeble yet malignant
through the senility Of the old King
there leaps passionate relish of
life. In spite Of some broad theatr-
cal brushwork it stands out of the
tlnsel and pasteboard of the play as a
has brought his greatest skill in re-
creating the part. 1t is a character
which only resourceful actor
sympathetic to a fashion now some
what outworn, could reinstate. And
Mantell has done this.
There are many bare spots which
Mr.. MantelPs art does not furnish
But that is to be expected of a plav
which is contemporaneous with "The
Lady of Lyons" Mr.. Fritz Leiber.
moving with heavy buskincd tread
does little to reconcile one to the hero
Nemour. And Miss Genevieve Ham
per is too sweetly declamatory.
But it is, on the whole, worth
while addition to the Mantell
repertory.

Delightful Double Bill
Given at French Theatre

One of the charms O. the Theatre du
Vieux Colombier is tie excellence OF
its repertoire. Those w,.o attend per-
formances regularly will find them
selves familiar with an imposing sue
cession of plays by the most celebrated
French dramatists, and the perform
ances are so fine that no change Of
bill should be overlooked.
This week Alfred de Musset and
Tristan Bernard are the playwrights,
Lies Caprices de Marianne" and "Lc
Fardeau de La Liberte" arc the plays.
The production of de Musset's piece
is one Of the most striking made this
season, q triumph of scenery, lighting,
costuming and stage management. The
little play is human, although a elias sic.
The characters are alive, not merely
spouters OF the poets verse. Marianne
is perversc. In her sophistication she
prefers worldling to a sentimentalist
and Cello, thinking himself deceived
by his friend, who had sworn to plead
his cause, permits himself to be mur-
dered. The cynical Octave's views of
life are as entertaining as his disposi-
tion of the ages of woman. When
Marianne tells him that she is nine
teen. he replies that she has five OF
six wears in which to be loved, eight
or ten in which she herself may love
and the rest to spend in praying to God
The acting of the three leading roles
by Nine. Bogaert, Mr.. Dhurtal and Mr.
Sarment was Of the best the Theatre
du Vieux Colombier affords, while Mr.
Jo,vet's Jealous husband was a chef
d'muvre in character acting.
"Ie Fardeau de La Liberte is akin
70 % %@Crainouebille," but Bernardo s
Chambolin Is less appealing figure
than the old pushcart vender.

Louis James Boulter Gives
Recital at Aeolian Hall

Louis James Boulter, who gave re-
cltal OF his own piano compositions last
year, repeated the experiment yester-
day afternoon at Aeolan Hall. On the
programme he announced that he ap-
peared "in a programme of new compo-
sitions written on melodic lines, and
composed since his last recital" There
was no doubt of his compositions being
written on melodic lines. the melody ex-
tending from Chopin to Stephen Fos-
ter.
Among the titles of the numbers
played by Mr.. Boulter were "Angelus, y
Dance of the Iroquois," Theme in G
and Variations" "Marche de Tr-
omphe," Legend" and Romance" Mr..
Boulter is evidently an earnest musi-
clan who goes ahead and writes what
is in him. If what is in him appeared
yesterday unimportant, that does not
detract from his seriousness of pur-
pose. AS pianist he possesses an ade-
quate technique and undoubtedly gave
an authoritative Interpretation of his
own compositions.

Marshall Asks for
Gifts to Jewish Fund

A letter from Vice-President Mar
shall featured the meeting Of the Jew
ish War Relief Campaign at the Hotel
Biltmore yesterday. Expressing his
regret at not being able to appear
personally, he said in his communica-
tion:
"It is a source of great regret that
a prior engagement prevents me from
personally greeting you tonight and
urging, in as emphatic manner as
possible, not only your sympathy, but
your generous financial aid for the fine
Humanitarian idea embraced in this
Jewish War Fund drive. If America
stands for anything greater than the
Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood of Mankind, | have not yet found
it out.
"Wc have made the fight not only
that all the traditions of the Republic
may be preserved, but that we may
lend & helping hand to every suffering,
signing son Of God the world around.
Among them, none have suffered
longer, nor appealed to US greater, than
the prosecuted Jews. Prove by your
works your protestations of brother
hood are not mere lip service"
The total subscriptions for the day
were not announced. other than that
an amount of more than million was
still lacking. No doubt was expressed
but that it would be subscribed be-
fore the close of the campaign Satur-
day.
Among the individual subscriptions
yesterday were one from Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry S. Hendricks for $4,000, one
from Liggett & Meyers of $4,000, one
from P. Lorilard Company of $4,000,
and one from j. Friedman e. Co. OF

On the Screen

Arizona" makes a delightful picture.
1t is being presented at the Rivol,
with Douglas Fairbanks as Lieutenant
Denton, but we doubt if Augustus
Thomas ever had in mind any such
Lieutenant Denton as appeared on the
screen yesterday.
He was simply Douglas Fairbanks
and he did all Of the things for which
the ngile star is famed.
He jumped fences, climbed louses,
leaped through the air on the end Of a
pole and rode bucking horses, and then,
when the time came, ne lied like a gen
tleman and save the colonePs wife.
1t was Arizona in 1898 just before
war was declared. Lieutenant Denton
is very much in love and is bound to
marry Bonita in spite of parental op-
position, though the opposition was
cnly one-sided affair Papa Candy
approved strongly because he liked the
young lieutenant, and Mamma Candy
disapproved because she disapproved of
everything.
But the lovers outwitted her and
ran away and were married on horse
back. and man, wife and preacher were
all astride one horse. That, at least.
is one scene which they could not
have done so effectively on the stage.
The cast is excellent. 1t includes
Theodore Roberts, as Candy, Kate
Price as Mrs. Canby, Marjorie Daw as
the girl, Raymond Hatton as Tony
and Kathleen Kirkham, as Estrella.
A Red Cross picture written by
Hamish McLaurin and called "The
Greatest Gift" is beautifully done.
The tableau poses are by Agnes TAFT,
the model Cor A. E. Foringer's Red
Cross poster. "The Greatest Mother
IN the World"
The Rialto male quartet sang
"Rose Of No Mans Land" during the
picture.

enough known to be extremely popular

plause last night, with Emo Rapee

Carlo Mejia before gorgeous Wenger

with their "Winter Song" and "Jeru-
salem Morning."

Drama
Debutantes Give Big Benefit for
France at Forty-fourth
Street Roof
By Haywood Broun

me logical successor to the series
OIL war revues by doughboys and robs
was presented at the Forty -four4,,
otreet Roof Theatre last night, when
the debutantes of New York gave
"Hooray for the Girls" The show is
amusing, although entirely decorous.
Inc members of the Junior League
WERE perhaps, not as successful as
some of the soldiers and sailors in
ilVlng up to the best zegfcld tradi-
tlons, for they were at all times ladies'
OF the ensemble rather than chorus
girls However, the ensembles were
pleasing and vigorous, even though the
performers seemed bit lacking in the
aggressive friendliness of the CONNER
clal theatre. OF course, the traditions
OF OF the chorus are eXacting Probably
they are all but Impossible for the
members Of the Junior League At one
OF the other roofs in town, for in
stance. there is number in which the
performers powder the noses of un-
offending first row visitors, while at
SUN another the young misses invite
.he more cnterprising spectators to
button their frocks up the back The
medium set for debutantes was gener-
ally happy one.
The play covers the entire field Of
the war, for it includes an act of pre-
paredness. one of battle and a final
scene for victory. The book is by
Helen S. Woodruff, the lyrics by An
nelu Burns and the music by Madelyn
Sheppard. One or two men are in
cluded IN the cast. but with the ex-
ception of Captain Anson Clark they
are not particularly necessary. Mr.
Clark has good barytone voice and
sang the first act finale, "Hooray for
the Girls" with spirit.
The best feature of the performance
was the dancing. Miss Dorothy
Louise Norris and Miss Grace Cros-
man contributed attractive solo
dances, and the ensemble effects were
equally good. Miss Hope Williams as
Fhrty and Miss Rita Boxer as Out
spoken seemed to be the most capable
members Of the large cast.
On account of the late hour at
which the performance began we were
unable to wait for the limitations Of
Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin,
put without doubt they were up to the
high standard set by the rest of the
show. N''0
The proceeds of the performances.
which will continue throughout the
week, with two matinees, are for the

formance adds to the attractiveness of

TOSHOWNEEDO OF NEW
 HOMES BUILT HERE

General orders received by the Ari- zona Council of Defense from the war industries board in Washington in re- gard to the postponing of all building operations until after the war are of considerable interest in Phoenix be- cause of the lack of residences here, particularly small homes.
 This lack of houses is due to the fact of a tremendous increase in acre. age placed under cultivation the past year in cotton and other crops. Like wise there has been corresponding increase in population engaged in the cultivation of land and the production of food.
 Many people are of the opinion that permission should be given this city and locality to build small homes for tho accommodation of these people brought Co the city through the fact of increased acreage. The following communication has been received from the non-war construction section, rriorities division of the war industries board:
 The intention Of the war industries board in issuing circular No. 21 was to defer until after the war shall have been wo nall building projects which do not contribute to the winning of the war. We do not conceive that new residences contribute either directly or indirectly to the winning of the war except where they come under the class of industrial housing. I do not believe there are any such in Arizona.
 Our position in this matter would hc to discourage in every way the building of any new residence and to urge the people to either make use of
