On the Screen

If the heroine had been any other
than Billie Burke we should have fe t
nothing but contempt for the sutors,
three who raced al over the country
in Pursuit of Polly" But for Billie
we, too, would brave the dangers of
gasolene and of water-that is if we
happened to be movie hero.
The new picture. which is being
shown at the Rialto, is reminiscent Of
Miss Burke's Peggy. which was one of
her most charming creations.
Polly was young person who chose
the line of least resistance. In this
way she inadvertently found herself
engaged to three men and began to
realize the seriousness of her escapade
only when all three called at once,
armed with engagement rings, and her
father told her that she was poiyg-
amous.
But Polly could not decide and be-
thinking herself of Atalanta she told
her Suitors that the one who could
catch her could marry her.
Then she set out to elude them all
and ran straight into the arms of
Thomas Meirhan. who was also on her
trail, because he thought she was u
German spy. The picture is full of
chances for Miss Burke to display her
pretty tricks, which are manifold. and
she has a gentle sense of humor which
is inimitable. The scenario is by Eve
Unsell and the picture was directed bv
Ghet Whitney, who did "The Hun
Within"
The overture is from "Francesca Da
Rlmlnl." Gladys Rice sang Tosti's
"Goodbye,' and Desere La Sale sang
the aria from "The King of Lahore"
The light opera number was from

Chamberlain and Thomas Are
Declared to Have Place

KANSAS CITY. Sept. I'm an edi-
torial in "fhe Kansas City Star" to-
day, entitled Senator Lodges Noble
Speech" Theodore Roosevelt writes:
Senator Lodges speech dealing
with the principles for which we are
fighting and setting forth in detailed
outline the kind of peace which alone
will mean the peace of victory, was a
really noble speech. Nothing is easier.
and from the national standpoint as
distinguished from the standpoint of
personal benefit to the speaker, moth
ing is less useful than speech OF
such glttering generalities that al
most anybody can interpret it in AL
most any manner.
Only a great statesman possesses the
courage, the knowledge and the power
OF expression to set forth IN convinc-
ing fashion the detailed statement OF
the objects which must be attained If
such war as tina: in which we are
engaged is to be crowned by peace
wholly worth the terrible cost of life
and happiness caused by the war.
This is the service which Senator
Lodge has rendered to this nation and
to our allies.
From time TO time in our history
the Senate has rendered services of
exceptional magnitude to the nation.
Never in our history has il rendered
greater service than during the last
nine months. The greatest men who have
ever sat IN it. men such as Clay and

Music
AIDA -


The San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany opened a three weeks season last
night at the Shubert Theatre before
an audience which might have come
straight from one of the minor Italian
opera houses. 1t was a sort of Italian
old home night transplanted into
America, and the war and Anglo Sax
ondom and all other matters hostile to
the national sport of the modern Ro-
mans were relegated out of Forty
fourth Street. 1t was strictly an Ital-
ian affair, and when, during the first
intermission, the house caught sight
of Enrico Caruso and his bride, and
the applause threatened to render the
Shubert golden palace roofiess. no
one was bit disturbed. Caruso rose
in his box, bowed and waved his hand.
Mrs. Caruso remained seated. 1t was
all one big and enthusiastic family.
Fortune Gallo chose for his opening
Nerdi's Aida which is one of the
few masterpieces appreciated by the
box office. Signor Gallo is a manager
of assortment He knows his public,
and he knows that if ne is to give
opera anywhere outside Of the Metro
polltan he must give it in the Italian
manner.
SO he gave it to us last season. so
he gave it to US last night, opera a
little crude perhaps. little shabby
IN scenery, skinny in costumes and
oaiiet, but vigorously sung by artists
OF admirable quality, supported by an
orchestra and conductor who in spite
OF union rules pay with all their
might and as ii tney enjoy it. Nigor.
that is the quality Fortune Gallo gives
US, quality beloved by the Italian
above all others. The San Carlo Grand
opera Company gives US performances
winch are neither aperitifs for tired
fashion. nor fau.tless museum pieces.
1t is alive and its audiences are alive.
and 1t Is hard to tell which are more
interesting. the performances on the
stage or those in the auditorium.
Last nights Aida was Elizabeth
Amsden, remembered from Century
Opera days. She was an excellent Aida
then; she is a better one now. She
possesses a voice of peculiarly thrill
ling quality and she sings on the pitch.
The Radames was Leon Z;novieff. who
did not always sing on the pitch, but
who made up for it by the power and
richness OF MS tones. The AmnerIS
was Stella Demctte. once of the Metro
polltan, whose voice has developed into
one Of the finest contralto organs now
before the public, and in the Amonas no
of Joseph Royer it is not difficult to
recognize a barytone of equally beauti-
full timbre. The other singers were
less admirable, but Gaetano Merola is
conductor who realizes that Verdi's
music requires fire of utterance
Signor Gallo's coming is welcome.
Too often do we sleep in opera. too
often is the gallery's enthusiasm stilled
by somnolence in the pit. Like base
pail, opera is improved by yelling
pleachers. If you don't believe it go
this week or next. or the week after, to
the Shubert Theatre. Later on you can
be circumspect at the Metropolitan
that. is, If Mr.. Caruso doesn't happen to
be singing.

Army Aid to the Red Cross
in Switzerland Declares
Teutons Are Meatless
Bread Dehes Chemists
Fish and "Camouhage Soup"
Main Diet; Conditions in
Austria Worse

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Sept. q
FOOD conditions in Germany are in an
exceedingly precarious condition, ac-
cording to Major Robert S. Browne, Of
the United States Medical Corps, who
has just come back from Switzerland,
where he was assigned to the service
of the American Red Cross. If one
cares to know about similar conditions
in Austria, he said, one need only
multiply German conditions by ten.
Major Browne arrived here to-day
from Switzerland via England with a
report on conditions generally in
Switzerland and on the treatment of
American prisoners in Germany.
las far as | have been abe to ascer-
TAIN" he said, there are about SOC
American prisoners in Germany. We
have been able to Keep N touch with
them through letters and telegraph,
and with the exception of a few de-
tentlon camps they are being fairly
we'll treated. The mortality among
prisoners and refugees, however. has
been severe.
Death List Is Heavy
"On the Swiss-Italian frontier, where
prisoners are exchanged, there is an
average of about eight deaths a day.
Among the Italian prisoners detained
on the Swiss border there are about
$4,000 suffering from tuberculosis and
lnclpient tuberculosis, and the NOR
taiity is about thirty five day. The
American Red Cross has d station at
Basic where refugees are cared for.
and the deplorable conditions encoun-
tered there are too horrifying for pub
llcatlon. Refugees have come into that
station weak and emaciated, having had
no food for orty-eight hours"
Major Browne said he was able to
learn, on authentic information, that
the civilian population of Germany was
living chiefly on black bread which
bafled the chemists and food experts
of the American Red Gross in Switzer-
land IN their efforts to make analysis.
No Meat Since January
THE German civilian populations" he
continued, "has had practically no meat
since the beginning of January. They
get, flsh three times a week, and very
little of that. They get eggs occa-
sionally, but their chief diet IS a sort
OF ke-believe vegetable soup"
Major Browne said he was not at lib
erty to speak Of confidential investiga-
tons ne had made on German out
RACES, but, summing up his opinion, de-
ciared that the worst any one cou d
imagine would hardly be an exaggera-
ton.
Also on board was Captain Louis
Boeree, C Manitoba. who returned be-
cause OF lung trouble due to airplane
pursuits in high attitudes. He said
he had seen the American aviators in
action ard regarded them as brave
follows, full of pluck and quick per-
ccption and foe that the German air
men would have most difficult task in
defeating."
He expressed the opinion that an in
creased American air army made up of
men of the calibre of those now in
service would be force that could
not be beaten by any power now en-
gagged in the present European con-
fict.

Leon Gordon, previously Of parts un-
known, but likely to be a very we'll
known young man hereafter, has dis
covered the right way to tackle war
play.
because SO many faulty war plays
have preceded Watch Your Neighbour
that adventurous piece can perhaps
best be described in q sequence of
negatives. 1t does not attempt to
squeeze the whole Western Front onto
the stage. 1t does not once say "For
the Fatherlandl" 1t does it's best to
play fair with the misguided but whole.
hearted paciists. 1t contains but little
abuse. 1t hammers with rdicule in
stead. And last, and probably best
it goes atield for Its material, and
caves the stock situations for less fer
Tile playwrights.
Mr.. Gordon scores one for his writ
ing and two for his acting. He ap-
peared as "silly ass Englishman,"
but his blather was q rather skilful
kind of nonsense, which ne delivered
with delightful smile. When the
role turned serious Mr.. Gordon made
the transition without apparent weight
of effort. and when. finally, he was
Obliged to lay aside both fooling and
forcing. he put up corking good fist
fight and leaped through window
onto what looked TO be the top of
Mont Blanc
Whether it was his play, his smile
or his shindy that finally won his au-
dlence, there was no doubt about his
having done it, They forgot that they
had never heard of him, ana ye:ied for
speech" as if he were an Old friend.
SO he made one, v>inded as he was
from his fight or his nerves, and he
made some more friends for his mod
esty
"Watch Your Neighbour is the watch
word for band of comrades" who as
semble in Switzerland after some pass
port difficulties at their several homes
and undertake to bring the world to
peace by conference"
The play might be cut out to advan-
tage before it gets to the Alps. since
there is not enough material in the first
act, in the British Intelligence Office in
London, to hold Interest up to top
notch.
But the conference of the pacifsts is
excellent material, admirably handled
Each pacifst is allowed to have his

of doctoring his advocacy in the max
ing. or hayingr him for it when it's
made, waits till the time is ripe and
then pokes fun at him.
Its superiority as method over any
other yet employed in the theatre is
emphatic and obvious.
The map that supplies the papers
for the later spy chase is of a salient
on the Italian front. and it is capt

come often. 1t would take partisan
indeed to say as much for its "love.'
There are little smatters of love scenes
here and there, but they merely waste
time.
Mr. Gordon's fine performance had
little or no support Dodson Mitchell
was excellent as German "pacifist.'
but the remaining players, where they
emerged from outright mediocrity, were
rather bad than good.
