On the Screen

Miss Mildred Harris is the star Of
Borrowed Clothcs,' which is being
shown on the screen Of the Broadway
Theatre this week. Tho lobby of the
theatre is decorated with hearts and
cupids and the management takes great
pains to announce that Miss Mildred
Harris is also Mrs Charles Chaplin.
It seems to have had no particular
effect on her acting as yet.
The story Of Borrowed Clothes" is
told swiftly and logically, but it is not
particularly interesting narrative. 1t
concerns the fortunes of Young
working girl who almost adopts a life
Of vice, only to rclent at the last mo-
ment. Suspicion falls upon her and
she has rather unpleasant time of
it until the man who would have
seduced her appears to announce that
now be wants to marry her. OF course
everything Immediately ends happily.
Our departure from interest and
sympathy with the heroine dated from
a caption explaining her refusal to
share in the dinner provided in the
humble home Of her parents in spite
Of the fnct that she has gone hungry
all day The caption pointed out that
the heroine was $50 delicately con-
stituted that she cannot eat cold,
greasy food after twelve hours Of fast
Ing"
In addition to Borrowed Clothes"
the programme also includes Charlie
Chaplin's Shoulder Arms" which is
the finest screen achievement which
we have seen.

Campaign be we'll supported in order
that they may continue their good work
during the reconstruction period
"Victory seems to have been achieved
and one Of the most glorious pages in
the history of the last two years has
been written by the womanhood of
America" he said. at is most fitting,
in view of this demonstration of

Petition for Life
Of Paul Chapman

O"oe' 1918.
To Hon. Charles S. Whitman.
Governor of the State of New
York.
l, the undersigned, being of
full age and a citizen of the
State of New York, residing at
the place appearing opposite my
name, do hereby petition your
excellency with reference to
Paul Chapman, convicted of
murder in the first degree in the
New York Supreme Court, Kings
County, February 10, 1918, and
sentenced to death, so that he
may be
(a) Pardoned; or
(b) Have his sentence COM
muted and be placed in a reform
school until he is twenty-one
years of age.
do not believe that boy of
the age of Paul Chapman should
under any circumstances be put
to death. l believe that his exc
cution is antagonistic to the en-
lightened spirit and sentiment of
the best citizens of our common
wealth and that his execution
would be a standing blot and dis
grace upon the administration of
our criminal law.

Music

The Philadelphia Orchestra, evident
ly of the belief that there is in New
York famine of symphonic music, is
this year to give five concerts at Car
negie Hall The first concert took
place yesterday afternoon and large
and responsive audience gathered there
to speed Conductor Stokowsk on his
Tschaikowsky Fourth Symphony, and Of
this MI Stokowski gave a really brill
liant performance, despite some dy-
manic exaggerations In the last move
ment- The excellent quality Of the
band has already been recognized, and
good words should be said again for
the strings and brass, though the
wood-winds SEEM still susceptible Of
Improvement In the symphony the or
chestra played with fine body of tone,
and in nearly every respect proved it
self a body Of musicians of the first
rank. Following the symphony came
the songs of Tschaikowsky, arranged for
orchestra by Mr.. Stokowski Exactly
why he arranged these did not seem
apparent They may have been all
very well for salon use, but their lack
Of deep melodic inspiration did not
lend them to orchestral treatment.
Matzcnauer, but weTe none the less Of
slight Importance and needlessly
heightened an already over-lengthened
programme.
In Ernest ChauBson's "Poeme de
PAmour ct de Ia Mer" the virtues were
reversed. Mme. Matzenauer sang ex-
plosyely and at times cut of tune, and
she was unablc TO make the French text
Ineligible. CAausson's work itself,
however, is really noble one, filled
both with color and dramatic feeling.
The composer has drunk at the well of
the moderns, but not too deeply, for
he has kept his balance and his feeling
for emotional values. 1t is to be hoped
that the work will be heard soon again,
but with singer more in sympathy
with it's imposing spirit. Mr.. Sto-
kowski gave it an admirable reading.
The programme closed with Svendsen's
Carnival in Paris"
The TollcfSen Trio gave concert
in the evening at Aoolian Hall, play
ing programme Of Scandinavian mu-
sic. The trio, which nov consists Of
Mmc. Schnabcl- Tollcfsen. Carl H. Toll
lefsen and Michael Penha, has dcvel-
oped into well rounded organization,
which plays with admirable precision
and feeling for ensemble. The pro-
yramne last night consisted Of Lange-
Muller's Trio In minor, two move
ments from sjogren's Sonata for Piano
and Violin in f minor, GricE's Ballade
for Piano i'm g minor, cello soil by
sindng, Halvorsen and borresen and
Codes Trio "Novilletten." The audi

realize what America means to our Allies
in this war. The great question is: How
soon are you coming? How soon are you
coming? They are counting on US every
where, and if there is any bad break on
our part. 1 do not know what would hap
pen. You women are the greatest power
in this country in this war. I talked with
prominent Southerner who was alive
at the time of the Civil War. ! said to
him, ''They talk about suffering in this
war. Why, the men in the Southern
Army fought under conditions of food
and supply that are worse than in any
country in this war today" He said.
Eyes. you know why 1t is?' / said. NO"
He said, 1T was because they were
ashamed to go back to the women
en."-(Applause.)
Now, you women are sending your hus-
bands and your brothers and your sons
over there-and many of them will die
over there-and great many of them
are going to die that might be saved,
but they will not be saved unless we
carry the war through in the most eff
Gent manner possible. This is a war of
every one OF you. It Is as much the war
of the United States over here as 1t is in
France. and every one of you has as
much active interest In the war as if we
were an. old and savage tribe, and our
village was surrounded by an enemy and
some Of our tribe were pixing the enemy
with spears at the walls, and the others
were making ,ears and arrows which
were being carried to the front
If the enemy gets into your village you
are done.
If there are men in this country who,
to save their selfish position or their sell
fish fortunes or their selfish business and
pride, who are standing in the way of
the proper development of an organza-
ton to fight this war. they are worse
than Germans. prolonged applause.)
les Up to the Women.
Now, let me tell you something about
men: Men are all right up to a certain
point: But there is point where the man
stops because he is considerable of an
other man. You will seldom get man to
criticise other men. He will shrug his
shoulders and things of that kind: but
women, when they make up their minds

Telephone Exchange

1t has been decided that a central tele-
phone exchange for the State House should
be installed and all the department heads
at the dinner of Monday night agreed on
this point Manager E. |. Herbert of the
local telephone Office was also present and
gave idea OF when an exchange can be
put in.
Sixtyodd telephones are now in use In the
building A two-board exchange can be in
stalled with a permanent operator 10 trunk
lines and places for instruments. The
State House family is now made up of some
% departments, not including the war COM
mittees and the telephone business is daily
increasing. but with no direct communica.
ton between the departments except
through the Augusta central office
The new system, when in place, will en-
able you to call the department anu the
party directly to the phone and will be a
convenience and a speeding up OF such
transactions that will be a great time.saver.
1t is now in the hands of Manager Herbert
for the plan making. estimates, etc, and it
is hoped to have the exchange in operation
