Mary Garden Wins Grea,
Applause in Chicago Com
pany's Presentation of
"Tb,;c"
"Ihais.' in French, lyric romance in
three acts, by Jules Massenet:

1here is, after all. only one Mary
Garden. After the MANY foolish things
she has said have been forgotten, after
fer voice no longer troubles fastidious
ears, after the last Philistinc she has
o'udgeoncd has passed to his eternal
rest, Miss Garden will be remembered
as an actress and q personality unique
III VI, 1ne history Of the lyric stage
why MISS Garden should have chosen
musical medium for the displayal OF
ner talents has always been a question
difficult to answer. Perhaps it was that
she realized that the broad style of
actlng, the grand manner" is on the
dramatlc stage thing no longer un-
eerstood; perhaps because touch of
1emlnlne perversity insisted that she
should triumph over the impossible
Whatever the reason, the poetic drama

Apollo. -
Miss Gardner appeared last night as
na'S' ana the largest audience that
las yet greeted the Chicago Opera
Company filled the Lexington Theatre
and gave Mr.. Hammerstein's former
star perhaps the most cordial greeting
OF her career. AS Miss Garden. beautiful
as Aphrodite. and nearly as naked and
unashamed, swept upon the stage with
That superb stride of Manhattan opera
days, the audience burst into a storm
CT applause. 1t was applause that was
absolutely spontaneous, as if a sud
den contact mad been established with
a powerful dynamo. as if an avatar
had appeared.
And Miss Garden acted tho scene
as she rarely had acted it. If it was
acting which was supremely sensual,
the only reply and the fitting one
is that if an Alexandrian courtesan is
to be represented on the stage, it is
absurd to present her as other than
she is. The priestesscs of Aphrodite
were not half repentant parsons daugh
ters. Later when she ascended into
salnthood she was none the less real
istic-a saint with 4 halo-and a past
Hector Dufranne was the Athanael
His voice retains much Of its old reso-
nance and beauty of timbre. but he
missed the dignity and spiritual suffer
ing of the character. MIR. Dalmores is
in voice no longer the Nicias of former
days, but he is always an artist. Miss
Alma Peterson and Miss Jeska Swart7
were a sprightly pair Of slaves. The
y
ment were not worthy Of the rest OF
the performance
"Thais" is musically banal and dra-
matically insincere, but it provides al
actress with as brilliant a part as was
ever presented in the realm of opera
1t is thus that one must judge it, mean
while shutting his ears and his deeper
intelligence. Miss Garden plays with
her body as a great violinist plays will
his violin. She is beautiful woman
and a great pantomimist. Her true
singing is accomplished with her body
Every pose, every movement, the mi
nutest gesture Of her hands, is packce
with meaning. She is a bad singer but
a great artist.

Hearing the familiar lines of "The
Merchant of Venice" read so excellent
ly as they we're at yesterdays matinee
is delight in itself and serves as a
reminder that the dead art of blank
verse had its glories. The tasteful
stage settings, which, in TACT, in most
OF. the scenes were merely curtains
falling in long folds. were so sub
ordinated as not to distract attention
from the performers, tut any en-
thusiasm expressed about the display
of rhetoric should not be taken as i'm
plying any lack of dramatic effect
The play was exceptionally we'll cast
and ably acted.
Miss Matthison never looked more
lovely than in the role of the some
what cerebral heroine. CARRIED in cloth
of gold, with long pensile sleeves, She
was grlish and spirituelle Leonard
Nude took the part of Bassanio for
this performance, in the place of Pedro

alien hands; Secretary Balfour had not
yet given Lord Rothschild the pledge
OF the British governments aid in Sc
curing Palestine as a national Jewish

Seek to Complete Fund
The Zionist dream has settled down
INTO practical, imminent reality, a
dominant factor in the present vision
OF all Jews: and so to-day, along with
the special sermons that will be
preached everywhere, an extra effort is
to be made to complete the first ST.
OOOO00 of the Palestine Restoration
Fund
Nearly three quarters of that
nmount has already been subscribed"
Dr.. Stephen S. Wise, who has sue
ceeded Justice Brandeis as chairman of
the Provisional Zionist Commission.
announced last night, "and we have
reason to believe that every demand
made upon Jews in America for the
working out of the practicable Zionist
hope will meet with that overwhelming
generous response which ought to wait
upon the possibility OF reconstructing
the ancient national homeland Of the
Jewish people.
81 rejoice to be able to say that it is
proposed In many communities through
out the country to link the fund with
the approaching SEVENTEEN birthday Of
Nathan Straus, one of the leaders of
the Zionist movement and a man who
mas greatly served Jewish people in
all lands"
