SITTING DOWN HARD
:ONlTHE S|NN FE|NERS

Dublin, Sept. 24.-OBy the Asso-
cated Press. THE general effect Of
the government proclamations sup
pressing the Sim Fein parliament
and Sim lFeln organizations through
out ireland is to make these organ
lzations illegal. 1t will be an Of
Tense to hold meeting of these
bodies in the proclaimed areas or to
publish reports OF any such meet
ings.
As these organizations declare
their purpose to be the overthrow Of
British rule In ireland and the es-
tablishment OF an Independent Irish
Republic. and as that purpose has
long been illegal under the ordinary
law, the proclamation merely pro-
vides a speedier means for the trial
Of offenders and a greater probabil.

WILL PERMIT
WEDDING OF DIVORCES

Detroit, Oct. 20.-Through action
of the laymen of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in the 1916 general
convention, sustained by both clerical
and lay delegates, the innocent
party to a divorce may be rewedded
in the church. Amendment of the
canons to prevent remarriage by an
Episcopal priest of a person who has
a divorced husband or wife living
was defeated. despite desperate eff
forts by many of the clergy and a
few of the laity to secure its adop-
tion. Both orders registered ma
jority against the amendment.
Under the canon the innocent par
ty to a divorce may be remarked in
the church If the bishop, after exam
nation of court records and with Ie-
gal advice. consents. although no
priest is compelled to officiate. The
defeated would make no
distinction between guilty and inno-
cent and would absolutely prohibit
an Episcopal clergyman officiating in
the marriage OF persons divorced for
any cause.

Noice has no ship and but few sup
plies. He depends almost entirely
upon his gun for his living.

Paquita Madriguera Grows
Up and Gives Another Recital

Miss Paquita Madrguera, 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
planlstic talent, but her extreme youth
prevented her from going beyond that.
Now that she no longer is u child, an
advance in the deeper things of her
art might begin to appear, but, to be
frank, it 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
:arantello found her altogether at
home
In the Spanish group, the "Seguidil-
las" and "Triana" of Albeniz and the
DANA" and Gel Pelele" of Granados,
she was at last in her element These
she played with color, yet with deli
cacy, and with q splendid rhythmic
feeling. Miss Madriguera is Spanish,
and it Is as yet only in Spanish music
that she has definite message to de-
liver. But at least in one field she is
good, which is rare in
planists, be they young or old CIV.

Music
Eufemia Ciannini Has Glorious
Voice, but Sadly Lacks
in Training

1t would be idle to devote any critical
discussion to the song recital given
last night at Aeolan Hall by Signorina
Eufemia Grannini AS a recital it was
trivial. Yet this young soprano pos
sesses really glorious voice, vibrant.
rich in color, voice which under
proper guidance ought to bring its
owner to operate fame. 1t is evil
IDENTIFY opera toward which the young
woman's heart is turned, for on her
programme was the "Vissi d'arte"
from "Tosca," "In quelle trine NOR
bidi," from "Manon Lescaut,9 "Mi
chiamano Mimi" from Ca Boheme,"
and "Ah, fors lui" from "Traviata,"
and "Depuis lie jour" from Louise"
In all of these she showed her beauti
full voice and an utter lack of stvle
Everything she sang she dragged in
terminably, varying the weeping Of her
tones by forcing them to an often re-
sultant tremolo.
In short Signorina Giannini has
splendid material and many of the
worst vices of the modern Italian
operate school. AS to the art of the
recital she seemed absolutely ignorant.
II she wishes to succeed in opera she
ought to put herself under rigorous
course of study and learn the virtues
of vocal restraint, Of legato and of
nuance. Vocal material is worthless
without intelligent direction, and Sig
norma Giannini as yet only shows the
first. G. V.
