''Patience'' To Be Sung
At the Park Theatre
This Week.

The Society of American Singers an
nounces Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pa-
thence" as the next opera to be added
to it's repertory, for limited engage
ment, beginning Tuesday evening,
March IS. "Patience" will also be
given on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings and Saturday matinee. "Robin
Hood" will be retained during the week,
with a special st. Patrick's Day cele-
bration Monday night, when Orville
Harold will sing "The Wearin' o the
Green" and other old Irish ballads be-
tween the acts. This opera will also
be presented Wednesday matinee and
Saturday night. "The Bohemian Girl"
will be given for one performance only,
Friday night, with Orville Harold in
the role of Thaddeus.
"Paticncc" is the fifth of the Gilbert
and Sullivan cycle to be presented by
the society. Originally given at the
London Opera Comique, following
"Pinafore" and "Pirates of Penzance,"
it was transferred at the height of its
popularity to the Savoy, newly built
by D'Oyly Carte to house the Gilbert
and Sullivan operas. The libretto is
Gilbert's pungent satire on Oscar
Wilde and his feshly school of poetry
and on the aesthetic cult. The struggle
for supremacy over the hearts Of love-
lorn madens between the two poets,
the aesthetic and the idyllic, provides
opportunity to poke fun at the tender
passion in such ballads as 81 Cannot
Tell What This Love May Be-" Love
Is a Plaintive Song" "Prithee, Pretty
Maiden," etc, while eff You Want a
Receipt for That Popular Mystery
Known to the World as Heavy Ora
COON" and eff You're Anxious for to
Shine" are in the best Gilbert and Sui
llvan style.
William Danforth will appear as
Bunthorne, Kate Condor, a famous
Lady Jane, will appear in that role.
and Winifred Marshall, young So
prano; who has been on tour with the
Henry w. Savage forces, will make her

Europe, has been organized for con-
cert tour under the direction of the

ship into a military concert band of
the highest type.

public concert at the Manhattan Opera
House this evening, at which Lieu
tenant Noble Sissle and Creighton
Thompson will be the soloists.

"Mona" to which a remedial hand
might have been applied were obvious,
while the merits of the poem and
score were so great that an attempt
ought to have been made to save it
as an example of national art and for
the encouragement. of American au-
thors. But of this no thought seems to
have entered the minds of the opera
company's directors or the newspaper
perhaps not even the minds
of Mr.. Hooker and Mr.. Parker.
Inexperienced Authors
The inexperience of the authors was
exemplified in their Indifference to
some of the prime requirements of a
lyric drama. When music enters the
play in its highest estate it is for the
purpose OF proclaming and celebrating
an emotional state w to which the dia-
logue has led The dialogue itself in
an opera is necessary evil and an in
trusion. There is a paucity of action
in "Mona," but that is not fatal de-
feet in an opera, speaking of action as
movement and the doing of things on
the stage, the changing picture, out
ward incident. 1t is not the highest
province of music to accompany these
things even in the modern drama, in
which music has surrendered much of
its nature and purpose. Music can
| prepare for movement and incident and
situation, but it's highest potency is in
proclaiming and hymning after their
arrival the emotional states which they
produce Therefore, excess of dialogue
and neglect of melody are fatal to
lyric drama. If there is to be proper
celebration of emotional states, then
dramatic conversation must yield to
| lyrlcism, lyricism in the musical score
no less than in the verbal text. Only
once did Mr.. Hooker break away from
the Tennysonian verse-form which he
chose for his dialogue, and only once
did DR.. Parker write the kind of music
which the public, whether rating it
good or fhulting it as bad, justly con
siders the kind Of music that was called
for. IL was in The chorus Of Britong
near the close Of tho second net Of the
J opera. There should have been many
( such straightforward musical episodes
even ut the sacrifice Of the constructive
method which tho composer had chosen
to adopt.
The play is fine one, but the
poetry too full OF artistic elements to
win recognition in mixed art-form
IKE the opera. That, to some, may
seem an anomaly, and to them it will
appear more anomalous still, If not d-
rectly paradoxical, that in the defects
of the composition there lay the most
interesting phase of the experiment
made by the authors.
There are elements in the work 90
ingenious as almost to invite smile.
but they were presented with sim
cerity and strength which almost con-
founded the knowing. 1t is doubtful if
either Of the authors had ever seen or
looked into Norma" which, like theirs,
is RomanDruidic opera, or "Lc
Pardon do Plocrmel," in which Dinorah
dances with her shadow and prattlcs
with it just as Il half-wittcd character,
Nal, does in Mona" We doubt if
either Mr.. Hooker or Professor Parker
had even bowling acquaintance with
Meycrbecr's Lies Hugucnots," in which
there occurs benediction Of poi
| gnards like yet very unlike II scene in
which the Druidic swords receive a

presentation of the old features in the
new work was so fresh, honest and
ingenious that it carried conviction
to the minds of the audience. Some
thing of the same nature may be said
of every character drawn by the poet
and clothed in music by the composer.
They were not only remarkable as
first creations, but so strikingly effec-
tive that old observers were compelled
to sit back and marvel at what had
been accomplished by novices and
wonder more what they might accom-

such as trial in California, but not

oRYlLlE CLARK kIRKHAN

Some Of the older members of the
First baptist church. and other rest
dents Of Manchester, will recall Rev.
10. c. Kirkham. former pastor, and
may he interested in o brief sketch u
his lie, based on n lengthy memorial
published ia The Bureau County Re-
publican, Princeton, III.
Mr. kirkham served in the First
Baptist church. Manchester, ls6i-65.
and never lost interest in the church
work and life. as was manifest by a
letter received from him little over
q year ago, enclosing some receipts
that he though, would be Of sufficient
interest TO place on the church re-
cords. At that time, Notwithstanding
his advanced age, Mr.. kirkham was
actively engaged in the duties Of the
ministry.
Ovile Clark kirkham WIS born in
Glens Falls. n. y. Jan. q, 1897, and
died at his home in Tiskilwa, ILL.,, Mar
10, 1919. Educated in the public
schools and academy OF his native
Town. he later took course at the
Fort Edward Collegiate Institute, fol-
lowed by some theological studies. He
was ordained TO the work Of the Cos
pei Ministry at Pittstown, N. Y, serv-
ing several churches in different states
altho the greater part of his ministry
was spent in New York state. For
the past fifteen years he has been pas
tor at Tiskilwa, Ills.
Mr.. Kirkham was thoughtful stu
dent, a pleasing speaker, much in de-
mand for special occasions, and in his
work was blessed by large gatherings.
For many years he was prominent in
Masonic circles, enjoying the frater-
nal relationship, and the funeral SER
vices on March 18th, were in charge
of the Lodge which he had served for
several years as Chaplain.
Mr.. Kirkham is survived by widow
his faithful helper in all his work of
IS years, one son and two daughters,
with several grandchildren. One son
had preceded him to the spirit land by
several years.
Servant of God, well done
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Masters joy
The death of Mr.. kirkham, leaves

of Colgate University, as the oldest
living ex-pastor Of the many men who
have served the old First Baptist

McCoRMICK's GOOD WORK

Washington, Apr. ESPECIAL cor
respondence Senator Medill McCor-
mick of Illinois is utilizing the days
before the converting Of the new Con-
gross in explaining to the public the
real effect Of the adoption of the pro-
posed league of nations will have upon
the United States. In series of arti-
cles he is dissecting the leagues con-
stitution, paragraph by paragraph,
and showing the people how each pro-
vision will bind America in the future
if the document is adopted by this
country. Mr.. Mccormick calls partic-
ular attention to Article X, which OBJ
ligates this country to preserve as
against external aggression the terri
trial integrity and existing political
independence Of all states members OF
the league"
The Senator believes that if the
American people once comprehend
what that section alone, out of the
twcnty-six articles in the constitution,
really means, they will turn so over
whelmingly against the league that it
will not be necessary to look further
for arguments to oppose it. Under
Article X, America alone, quite re-
pardless of what other nations may
do, is bound to step in and defend the
boundaries as Greece, Bulgaria, Gee
cho- Slovakia, Ukrainia and Poland.
Not only that but if any of the DEEPEN
denotes Of Great Britain, France, Jap
an or other great nations are attack
ed from without, the United States
must furnish its quota of troops to
defend their territories.
Mr.. Mccormick thinks il quite con-
ceivable that the Bolsheviki may so
extend their influence as to prevail
upon the Tartars or the Afghans toat-
tack India on the north through the
passes Of the Himalayas. In such an
event an American army mustbe dis
patched TO the scene of action to halt
the invaders. Suppose, says the Sena-
tor, China should unite with the people
of Chosen in an attempt to throw of
the Japanese yoke from the latter
country. Soldiers Of the United States
would be hurried across the Pacific 10
the assistance Of Japan in maintaining
her conquered territory in the former
state OF Korea. We're the Arabians
to cross the Egyptian border and unite
with the people Of the Nile in a revo-
luton against England, the league
would call upon America to send an
army posthaste TO northern Africa to
subdue the nomads Of the deserts.
