THADDEUS RICH
CONCERT SOLO|ST
Feature of Next Appearance ofPhil-
adelphia Orchestra at Play
house, December %.

So favorable was the impression pro-
duced by the first concert IN the " IL
mington series by the Philadelphia Or
chestra this season that quickened interest
is being evinced in the projected perform
ancc at The PLAYHOUSE on Monday even
ing. December 23 II is the consensus
of opinion that such an suspicious open
ing may be taken as an indication that
the present orchestral season viii Surpass
all previous ones.
To add to the effectiveness of the pro-
gram, the soloist will he Thaddcus Rich,
the conccrtmaster of the orchestra. Aside
from his position in the orchestra, Mr.

Of Temple University IN Philadelphia,
the founder of the Rich Quartet, and n
solo player whOIS entitled to rank with
the foremost masters Of his instrument.
Although still in his early thrties, Mr.
Rich has occupied his present position
with the orchestra for twelve consecutive
years, having been engaged by Frtz
Scheel when he was only twenty-one years
OF age He is an American by birth,
native Of Indi napolis, and his great
successes have been achIevcdn this coun-
try
can be offered than that concerto which
Mr. Rich has elected to play in Whining
ton, the Tschaikowsky ID major, which
the composer originally dedicated to
Leopold Auer, the master of all violin
pedagogucs. who at first declared its
difficulties insurmountable To Adolph
Brodsky is due the honor Of introducing
it TO the public after it had long been
neglected, and it was to him, therefore,
that the composer dedicated the piano

CLEANUPCONSTANTINOPLE
British Are Putting Affairs in
Perfect Order at Turkish
Capital.

London, Dec. g.--The way the British
are taking up their work Of setting affairs
in order at ConstantInopIe is described
by the correspondent of the Sunday
Times, writing under date Of Nov. z.
He says:
"rhe British have entered the great
and historical city which has suffered
III its time so many romantic and bloody
sieges and captures, and they have
settled down TO their business with an
almost complete lack Of trumpet-blow-
ing or military show Of any kind. For
people who live In constant fear Of some
thing unpleasant happening-say mas
sacre-it is difficult To imagine that
conquering military force can arrive
and install itself with complete alb
sence of excess, either homioidal or
spectacular.
",rhe amount of exploitation and
profiteering that has gone on here through
out the war is colossal and has resulted
in huge fortunes being made Mt one
end Of the scale and the ipthcting OF
abiect poverty and starvation at the
other. Enver Pasha, who - now under
stood 10 be in the Caucasus fomenting
trouble, is said to have become fifty
times millionaire in Turkish pounds.
He has bought property extensively
and has placed great suns abroad IN
Switzerland and elsewhere, but the
arm Of the Allies should be long enough
To see that be is made 10 disgorge,
''The result of these and other ma
chinations is that prices have bounded
up to fantastic heights, equal TO any
thing ever known IN the old gold
rnsh days. There is apparently very
little real shortage Of anything, and
it is common saying that anything
can be obtained IN Constantinople pro-
vided you have the money"
