Lack OF Sales Causes Suspension OF
Operations fer Time

Announcement was made at Alpha
during the week that the Judson mine
will close so FAR as mining operations
are concerned. The suspension Is
caused by lack OF orders for ore.
The ore market Is very sluggish at
the present time and buyers are hold
ing for lower prices.
The Judson has large pile In
stock and with the slump in the ore
market a suspension OF mining be-
came necessary. The Judson people
are not consumers. their ore going
upon the open market and this fact
makes II more difficult to operate In
times such as the present.
About $50 men are effected by the
suspension. The young men will un-
doubtedly go to other fields, but the
married me1 will probably find work
about Alpha and on the roads II the
bond issue carries next Tuesday.
General Manager Richards tells US
that as soon as the market changes
so that ore sales can be made work
will be resumed.

Heifetz Scores Triumph
In Metropolitan Concert

Jascha Heifetz played the "Scotch
fantaisie' Of Bruch at last nights CON
cert at the Metropolitan Opera House
He played it like the young god of the
violin that he is, and after It a group
of short pieces beloved of the Sunday
night audience. 1t is useless to say
that his art was thrown away. for
should Mr.. Heifetz suddenly determine
to play q composition by Mr.. George
Cohan or Mr.. Irving Berlin, we are
confident that even if it made the iu
dicious grieve they would none the less
enjoy.
The other artists who appeared were
Miss Roa Eaton and Robert Couzinou.
Miss Eaton is young soprano who
was last year member of the COM
pany, but who, because of illness, was
never able to sing. She made an un-
fortunate choice in her first number.
She is not Q coloratura soprano, and
thus "Ah, fors lui" proved without
much ado. But she has lyric voice
of lovely quality and a good sense of
style, and in her songs this was ev-
dent. Mr.: Couzinou sang the Toreador
Song and a group of songs. The or
chestra was, Is usual, under the direc-
tion of Richasd Hageman.

u. S. Becoming Artless
And Savage, Says Pennell
Artist Attacks New York Critics
as Incapable of ''Practising
What They Preach"

Joseph Pennell. the artist, attacked
the art critics Of New York In his
lecture yesterday afternoon at the
Metropolitan Museum. Mr.. Pennell
declared that there is not an art critic
in New York who can practice what
he breaches" His remarks were
greeted with applause by an audience
that filled the lecture hall
IT'S perfect scandal for the critics
of New York; said MIR. Pennell. "to
try TO tell US what is good and what is
bad. There never has been a great art
critic WHO wasn't an artist himself and
the critics here certainly are not ar
lists.
There is only one college professor
IN the United States who is capable Of
writing on the subject of fine arts.
That man is John C. Van Dyke, Of
Rutgers College,
Mr.. Pennell declared that America
is becoming artless and savage and al
together unappreciative of work that
is really worth while. He said the
art preferred by most persons is
that which appears in the comic sec
tlons Of the Sunday newspapers.

New ''Midnight Whirl''
Appeals Chiefly to Eye
First Honors Go to Bessie Nc.
Coy; Music Catchy and Cos.
TUNES Gorgeous. but Scant

The new "Midnight Whirl," at the
Century Grove, is up to its usual stand
ard in music, and also in everything
else that appeals to the eye, but it is
somewhat deficient in humor. The fun
making rests chiefly with James Watts,
a burlesque female impersonator. who
seems to US TO be as unhumorous as q
Channel crossing. However, we are
willing to admit that this may be per-
sonal prejudice.
Bessie Mccoy easily carried off the
honors of the evening with her glorious
dancing, and the Rath brothers were
scarcely less graceful in their strong
man act. Bernard Grenville also did
some effective dancing.
Urban has provided beautiful set
ting, and John Henry Mears has sup
piled excellent lyrics for a catchy
score. The costumes are gorgeous, but
scant. Possibly whenever Morris Gest
was compelled to put anything addi-
tional on a performer in "Aphrodite"
he took something off somebody in The
Midnight Whirl." H. B.

Young Russian Pianist
Shows Fine Technique
Benno Moiseiwitscl1 Gives Pleas
ing Recital at Carnc-
gle Hall

Benno Noiseiwitsch gave another
piano recital at Carnegie Hall yester-
day afternoon before large and in
terested audience. AS at his previous
appearance the young Russian artist
displayed clear, fluent and hawless
technique, a style elegant and dis
tingushed, great delcacy of touch and
OF sentiment, keen intelligence and a
just taste. Those are qualities which
are rare and which give their possessor
a high place among living pianists.
Yet there was yesterday in his play
ing of Beethoven's Sonata Appas-
sionata" something lacking in the
broader sweeps of the imagination. 1t
was an exquisite reading, but not q
great performance. Other things that
he played were Schumann's "Kreisler-
lana" Prelude of Rachmanioff, Stra-
vinsky's "Etude in + sharp" three
numbers of Palmgren and a Toccata
of Debussy, and it was in these
lighter numbers that he was most per
fcctly satisfying.
There was another pianist who ap-
peared during the afternoon. He was
Hercules Giamateo, and he gave his
recital at the Princess Theater. The
reason for his appearance was invis-

walking the city streets knew that
vocal and Instrumental numbers by

Chromatic Harp at
The Symphony Concert
Central Feature of Walter Dam.
rosch's Program in
AeOlian Hall

Mr.. Walter Damrosch made harp
music the central feature of the con-
cert of the Symphony Society in Aeo-
liam Hall yesterday afternoon. The
purely orchestral numbers were ia
miliar compositions which have long
held a place in the hearts Of music
lovers-the overture to Der Frei-
d minor, and two excerpts from Wag-
ner's lyric dramas--the forest idyl
from "Siegfried" and the introduction
to the third act of "Lohengrin."
The symphony fell between two COM
positions for harp and orchestra in
which Nine Wurmser Delcourt, a
French artist, introduced the chromatic
harp, which was invented little more
than twenty years ago by Gustave
Lyon, head Of the old pianoforte manu-
featuring house established by Pleyel,
The mechanical feature which distin-
guishes this instrument is that it is
strung to give an individual string to
each Of the half-tones throughout it's
compass, whereas in the ordinary harp
the chromatic tones are produced by
shortening the strings by means of
pedal action. 1t has not come into ex-
tenslve use because of conviction, to
which a controversy aroused by its
Introduction promptly gave rise, that
it is deficient in sorority compared
with the pedal lharp.
This impression was left also in our
mind after hearing the brilliant per-
formance of Nine. Wurms Delcourt
Yeste rday whether or not it was JUS
tilted we shall not attempt to say; for
either to confirm or refute it better
comparison than can be made would be
necessary.
The utility of the invention, however
in some respects seems incontestable
The music played by the solo performer
was concert piece Ga sort of con-
densed concerto) by Pierne and two
dances, one sacred" one "profane," by
Debussy, which have figured in Mr.
Damrosch's schemes heretofore The
harp long ago lost its place in popular
admiration as solo instrument, though
It's position as valued member Of the
orchestral forces is assured.
In an interesting note the editor OF
the Symphonic Society's "Bulletin'
says that Beethoven did not use it, We
have an impression that he might like
to change his dictum after looking al
the score of Beethoven's ballet. "Die
Geschopfe des Prometheus,' but we are
writing on Sunday night and as far
distant from copy Of the ballet as the
summer rusticator from the proverbial
lemon. Our only concern in the mat
ter is to preserve the verities of his
tory, which are too often treated
lightly in The Bulletin" as we have
pointed out before. II. L. K.
