Paquita Madriguera Grows
Up and Gives Another Recital

= Miss Paquita Madrieuera, the young
Spanish pianist who came to America
three years ago as child prodigy. has
gone into long skirts. if that adjective
can be applied TO the skirts of the
year 1919, and gave recital last night
at Aeolian Hall. Miss Madriguera
showed at her debut and at all her
succeeding appearances marked
p1anistlc talent, but her extreme youth
prevented her from going beyond that
Now that she no longer is a child. an
advance in the deeper things of her
art might begin to appear. but, to he
frank, 1t did not appear last NIGHT
She played the opening Beethoven
sonata correctly enough, but with no
sense Of its real nature, and of the
Chopin group only the valse and the
tarantello found her altogether ~
home.

las" and "Triana" of Albeniz and the

she was at last in her element. These
she played with color, yet with deli
cacy, and with a splendid rhvthmie
feeling. Miss Madriguera is Spanish.
and 1t is as yet only in Spanish music
that she has 4 definite message to de-
liver. But at least in one field she is
surprisingly good, which is rare In
pianists, be they young OF old CIV.

Argonne Players Seen
At the Manhattan

The Argonne Players, a score of
actor soldiers who invented their en-
tertainment under the guns and now
present it with the title of the "Amex
Revue" began weeks engagement at
the Manhattan Opera House last night
The Annex Revue" was presented 265
times in France, in every conceivable
circumstance, ranging from acute in
convenience to downright peril, and
differs in important respects from the
soldier show" of the recent past. It
is vaudeville instead of musical COM
edy, and is acted entirely by profess
sional actors who became soldiers. It
has, in addition to soldier zip. the in
imitable swing of the professional per
formance and is in every way to be
recommended.
The player who carried off the even
ing's honors was one known we'll to
New Workers: Percy Helton, the boy
in "The Return Of Peter Grimm" He
played q little crippled lad in play
let by Hal Crane, called Little Com
rade," and gave a powerfully appeal
ing performance. He then appeared as
a girl in q sketch by Fred Rath called
General Order Number Ten" Jack
Waldron and Ad Pincus made some
good fun in q burlesque called "Oi,
General" and Harry Cahill gave a
skilful series Of female impersona-
tions.
Major General Robert Alexander Of
the 77th Division was one Of the
guests.

Wider Cooperation
Urged i'm Drug Fight
Miss Crallam-MulElall Declares
City and State Face Big Task
In Caring for Addicts

"Not only should the drug sufferer
be treated, but all the influences, social
as we'll as medical, that tend 10 the
use of narcotics should be investi
gated" said Miss Sara Graham -Mulhan.
the newly appointed deputy commits
sioner of the New York State Drug
Commission, in outlining her policy to
The Tribune.
Every hospital should be compelled
to open ward for the care and treat
ment of drug addicts, every physician
should be fully informed on the sub
jcct, every medical student should be
taught the habit-forming tendencies of
such drugs as morphine, veronal
heorin, paregoric and cocaine. The
government should prohibit without ex-
ceptions the manufacture, importation
and sale of heroin, which besides being
cruelty dangerous is an unnecessary
drug.
IF the twenty or thirty thousand
addicts in New York City are to be
driven into the state care then the
clinical facilities OF the entire city
will be needed for their adequate treat
ment and & great extension of hospital
and other social service must be pro-
vided for, in addition to general
mobilization of preventive therapeutic
resources"

On the Screen
Anita Stewart Does Creditable
Work in "Mary Regan," a Film
Play Of Crooks and Love

LOIS Weber puts SO much Of herself
IN her pictures that we always feel
when we see one of her productions
she doesn't approve Of us and is try

The titles usually point moral as
well as adorn tho tale. and all of our

J., MISS Weber directed "Mary Regan,"
Ihe Picture IN which Anita Stewart is

IS IS an interesting story and Miss
Stewards work is good, but it is cut

at length that man Is "noblc" or ain

MISS Stewart are both capable players

Bal Bleu'' Attracts
L hrong of Society
And Stage F'avorites
One of Most Successful
Charity Entertainments of
Season Held at the Ritz;
Prominent Artists Star

With the combined efforts Of society
and the stage, last nights "Bal Bleu"
at the Ritz-Carlton, for the benefit Of
the Big Sisters, proved one of the most
successful, financially and socially, of
any entertainment given this spring.
Some of the most prominent artists
in the city appeared at the benefit.
Women prominent in the social world
were present in large numbers, and
many gave dinners before the enter
their guests.
The Big Sisters do their welfare
work in the Children's Court through
three allied channels: The Protes slant,
under Mrs. ". x. Vanderbilt; the
Catholic, under Mrs. William X. Van
derbilt, ir., and the Jewish, under Mrs.
Sidney Borg.
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, jr, was
mittee and with the assistance of Ben
Ali Haggin, Charles Dillingham;, Flo
Ziegfeld, jr, and Ned Wayburn,
planned many spectacular features.
A new Joseph Urban setting was de-
signed for the main ballroom of the
Ritz Carlton and in this was staged
an edition de luxe of the Ziegfeld New
Frolic including sixty girls: Another
feature included nymphs, fauns and
satyrs, surrounding Miss Evans Bur
rows Fontaine, who appeared in classic
dances. In another number Melville
Gideon, just here from England, col
laborated with p. G. Wodehouse in a
number called pastel Bleu," in which
six Ziegfeld bellies appeared in cos
tunes suitable to various hours of the
day and night.
Among those who had tables for sup
per were Mrs Henry M. Tilford, Mrs.
William K. Vanderbilt, jr., who gave
a large dinner at her home in Fifth
Avenue before the dance; Mrs. John
r. Drexel, Mrs. William J. Schieffelin,
Mrs. James A. Burden, Clarence H.
Mackay, Mrs. Charles Cary Rumsey,
Mrs. James W. Gerard, Mrs. Robert

Drama
''She's a Good Fellow Is New
Musical Show at the
Globe
BY Haywood Broun

She's q Good Fellow" which was
produced at the Globe Theatre last
night, has an excellent cast. good
music, some amusing dialogue and the
sllllest plot of the season. Of course,
the game laws protect musical comedy
plots very closely, but it seems as if
an exception should be made sooner or
later which would permit the exter-
mlnatlon Of the story of the young
man who gains access to the girls
boarding school disguised as woman.
However, at such times as the piece
was not developing all the hackneved
possibilities of this situation it was
pleasing enough.
The costumes were tasteful and the
dancing delightful. Kern's music is

Music
Verdi's ''Requiem" Performed
in Victory Concert at Co.
lumbia University

A three nights Victory Commemora-
tion Festival was begun in the Colum-
bia University gymnasium last night.
The purpose of the festival, as defined
by the president of the university,
Nicholas Murray Butler, is "to honor
through music, the memory of those
who made the supreme sacrifice for the
cause of civilization and liberty, and
in commemorating them to sound the
jubilant note Of lasting victory"
The memorial function was accom-
plished last night by the performance
OF the music composed by Verdi for
the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead,
which deserves historical Significance
from the fact that it was written in
honor of Manzoni.
imagine, on tomorrow evening, when a
setting by Walter Henry Hall, of the
lie Deum Laudamus," which has
place in the Protestant as we'll as the
Roman Catholic liturgy, will be sung.
The rest of the scheme, if we except
"a Song of Victory" by Percy E.
Fletcher, which will also be sung to-
morrow evening, might be held to be
proper to any series of concerts and
peculiarly appropriate to none in par
ticular The strangest feature in the
scheme is Tschaikowsky's last sym
phony, set down for tonight, which,
while it has somewhat lugubriously
Jocose second movement and a mill
tant third, ends in the depths of de-
spair. But it is only an element in
miscellaneous concert scheme which
has music, and nothing but music, for
it's purpose.
The striking c'outstanding'' is the
word to-day, we believe) things of last
nights meeting were the demonstra-
ton OF the excellence of the University
Gymnasium as g place for music and
the admirable performance by the
Chapel Choir OF Tschaikowsky's eight
part, unaccompaniad motif "How Blest
Are They" That performance spoke
we'll for what Professor Hall is doing
at Columbia in the line of serious mu-
sical work. AS for the "Requiem" it
was creditably performed by a quartet
composed Of Marie Sundelius, Mary
Jordan, Dan Bleddoe and Robert Matt
land, the Columbia University Chorus
and the orchestra Of the Philharmonic
I Society. "America" was sung by the
quartet, chorus and audience in Sil
! Edward Cigars arrangement (of "God
/ Save the King" we suppose), as was
also the hymn, go God, Our Help II
Ages Past as acts Of pious devotion
and the hymn, "Stand Columba.
