Music
An Admirable American String
Quartet Is Played at
Aeolian Hall
By II. E. Krehbiel

The Berkshire String Quartet paid a
tribute to the shade of Beethoven at its
last concert in Aeoian Hall last night
which probably challenged more inter-
est from the musicians who gathered to
hear it than it did delight from the
rest Of the audience. The obeisance was
made to the master in the first number
Of the programme, which was the
Grand Fugue in B fiat, Op 1876, COM
position which because Of its austerc
character is usually reserved by cham
Der music players "for the glory of God
at home as Goudimel said Of his
artistic settings of the Psalms verstied
for the Reformed Church.
The fugue was designed 70 be the
finale Of the quartet in flat, one of
the five commissioned by the Russian
Prlnce Galltzin. But the composers
friends thought it too long and also
TOO severe for that work and advised
hlm to write a new last movement
Unusually compliant for him, he put
it aside and in his last summer, spent
IN his brothers country home, he com
posed the amiable little movement
which now concludes the great quar-
tet The fuguc was subsequently pub
hshed as separate piece.
Messrs. Kortschak,. Gordon, Evans
and Stoeber put a deal of sincerity into
their playing last night and lifted its
obvious beauties, most abundant in its
gentler sections, into prominence,
though they were occasionally hard
put to 1T to keep up interest in the
intricate thread of the DISCOURSE
Between this lofty introit and the
beautiful quartet in A minor by
brahms. which ended the concert,
there came what we are inclined to
set down before saying anything else
as the most beautiful and satisfying
American composition which we have
heard this season. This was a string
quartet, also in A minor, by Henry
Eichheim, a Boston musician and for
merly, we believe, member of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. 1t is not
twenty four years ago, but it had
never been performed publicly in New
York. To judge by his name, MI Eich-
helm is Of German extraction, but his
music has no German characteristics
unless the quality of soundness in con-
structiOn and adherence to logic in
development are to be set down as
such 1t is not heavy, it is not aca-
demic, but neither is it in any respect
frivolous or freakish. Its themes pub
lish spontaneity of invention and
fccund and varied fancy mark their
development. The part-writing is ad-

dium employed.
The music is quartet music and
never strains after orchestral effects.

tive to them, but with much eloquence
and variety of color. His dalliancc

Drama
''burgomaster of Belgium" Is
Seen at the Belmont
Theatre
By Haywood Broun

Maeterlinck is under q grave handi-
cap from the outset in writing play
about the German invasion of Belgium
because he follows in the footsteps of
SO many dramatsts. The fact that
practically all his predecessors have
done i'll indeed with the theme does
not help much. In fact, he has to
drive his play through all sorts Of en-
engagements of false things, and taw-
dry things and incnt things which
some of the other playwrights Of the
war have left in our minds.
"A Burgomaster of Belgium" which
was seen at the Belmont Theatre last
night, is not fine enough to slash
through all that without an injury.
Generally speaking, it is an exceed
ingly skilful piece of stage technique.
For the most part it is fine in feeling
and expression. But it is hardly in
genlous. The thing which it says has
been said to us before thousand
times. 1t has been said in PLAYS. in
posters, in Liberty Bond speeches, in
editorials. The mind no longer reacts
polgnantly to the message of "A
burgomaster of Belgium" even
though it tells the story of German
pertdy and Belgian heroism better
than we have heard it told in the
theatre.
There is nothing essentially new in
the point of view. The play is sim
plicity itself. 1t tells how the Burgo-
master is sentenced to be shot because
German officer has been killed by an
unidentified assailant. Two men, an old
gardener and wounded soldier, offer
TO take, the burden of punishment upon
themselves by false confessions, but the
Burgomaster will not permit the sacri-
fee. And so in the end he dies, in Spite
OF the efforts of his son-in-law, who is
a German officer. Very vivid and
graphic is the treatment of the theme
IN the first act, when the war suddenly
comes to the door of the Burgomaster.
who previously had no heavier con-
Germ than sick blossoms in his hot
houses. Excellent also is the scene in
which the old gardener offers to die
for the sake of the Burgomaster. Here
there was fine playing, as we'll as fine
writing. Malcolm Motfat, which is not
astonishing performance in the role of
the gardener 1t was technically skilful
to the last detail and human as we'll.
E. Lyall Swete was also splendid in this
scene and effective throughout. No
other members of the cast deserve spe-
cial mention.
The last act pleased us less than the
other two because it did not keep con-
sistently to the calm which we think
should be the final note sounded in all
tragedy. Moreover, it suddenly shifted
the attention of the audience from all
the figures in which it was most vitality
interested to another of only secondary
in the story
The piece is staged most effectively
by Captain Max Montesole, a British
airman: "The Burgomaster of Bel
GUM" is in all respects adroit 1t is
good workmanship, but that was a fac
tor about which we never bothered our
heads when Maeterlinck was at his
best. This is not fight. Maeterlinck
the mystic interests US far more than
the realist, in which role he appears
for the duration Of his war play.

Marriage de Figaro" Begins
Two Weeks at French Theatre

Beaumarchais's Marriage de Figaro
began two weeks engagement at the
Theatre du Vicux Colombier last even
ing. 1t marks the final production of
the season by NJ. Copeau. When this
sprightly comedy of intrigue was first
written its daring and ironical treat
ment of eighteenth century society so
shocked the Paris authorities that a
public performance was forbidden. The
result was that when license was
finally obtained three people were killed
in the crush which stormed the theatre.
Keen wit, swift action, mordant sat
ire are among it's striking character
istics.
The performance was distinguished.
The long cast, headed by M. Copeau as
Figaro, Mile. Bogaert as the Countess,
Mile. Tessier as Suzanne and NJ. Bo-
gaert as Almaviva, was admirable.

with alternating triple and duple
time in the jocosc movement is fas-
cnating.
The work may be trife diffuse,
but it is strong and beautiful, with
tinge of Morse melancholy in the slow
movement, considerable French grace
in its first movement, and if we were
to attribute to any composer Of the
period a dominant influence in its
style and spirit. we would say that
the composer had listened proftably to
Dvorak-more particularly to Dvorak
of the American period.
In bringing this quartet to the at
tention of New York music lovers the
Berkshire Quartet has done a service
to American music.

one cannot help thinking what unex-
pected twists the play would have
yielded in Miss Runners hands, what
odd whimsicalities Of character might

women attended the first national suf-

5 Organization of league of woman
voters to finish the fight for woman

work in America was urged by Mrs
Gait in an address she delivered at
lie opening of the convention. Mrs.
Gait proposed this as the best and
most patriotic memorial to the pioneer
women Of the suffrage movement.
Plan of Voters League
As outlined by Mrs. Gait, the chief
purposes of the plan of the proposed
League of Woman Voters are:
First--To use its utmost influence
to obtain the final enfranchisement of
the women of every state in the United
States and to aid the women of all
other countries in their struggle to OBJ
tain their rights.
Second-To remove the remaining
legal determinations against women
in the codes and constitutions of the
american states.
Third-To stabilize the democracy of
America and ito make our democracy
SO safe that every citizen may feel Sc
cure and great men will acknowledge
the worthiness of the American Re
public to lead"
To achieve these objects Mrs. Gait
called upon women of America to ten
list for five years service" Five
years, she believed, ought to see these
purposes accomplished or we'll under
