THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
Weekly Comment on Things
Musical in Discriminating
Philadelphia

nEATH has marked several big
~ rests in the music not only OF
America but of the world in the last
week or two. One of the most proml-
nent of these was Cleofonte Campanini,
who held unique position in the oper-
attic world. Mr.. Campanini was born,
educated as conductor and mace his
first conspicuous success in that field in
Italy, being a younger brother of the
famous tenor, Italo Campanini, but the
really original work of his life was done
in the United States. ..
He was brought here by Mr.. Ham
merstein and it is doubtful if that eccen-
trio impresario could have made n
choice Of any conductor in the world
whose qualities so admirably compile
mented his own. Between them they
made an invincible pair in the field OF
opera. Both were enthusiastic on the
subject of bringing out operas hitherto
unheard in this country, but the pen
chant of both in this direction took the
form of bringing out modern works and
not revivals of the little known operas
of the older masters.
The result of this was that for q few
seasons we in Philadelphia heard pretty
much everything that was composed by
aCkUOWlSuSeu iuhsIcio uplOhh "iN
it is not going too far to say that the
success of this policy, together with
the belief on the part of the general
public that Messrs. Hammerstein and
Campanini were real live ones did
much to broaden the policy of their
principal competitors.
MIR. CAAIPANINI was a great con
1Vl ductor, but lie had other qualities
which were invaluable to him in his
position as general manager of the Chi !
cago Opera Co. Among these were his
receptiveness to everything new that he
believed to be good enough to deserve
hearing, his thorough knowledge oi
the technique of the operate stage a'
regards stage settings and dramatic
power on the part of his singers and
his almost unfailing Judgment of oper-
attic aspirants.
He had the reputation of having
brought out more new works of modern
composers than any other living i'm
presario, but it may be questioned
whether he did not discover as many
il not more fine singers and operate
actors than any other one. Cali Cure
and Rosa Raisa are two of the --latest
who have become stars of the first mag
nitudc.

partment Of the international commit
tee OF the Y. M. c.. A. was a caller Tues
day in Augusta. Mr.. Draper told a re-
porter of the kennebec Journal many
interesting facts about the work Of his
department during the war. He spoke
Of the lack of phyical training among
young men before the war. He said
that when men were picked for the
army only about one out of every three
came up to the standard physically. He
stated that now ste - are being taken
all over the country to improve this
condition; the government has plans OF
county supervision OF health conditions
of school children. and steps are also
being taken to introduce a bill feder-
alibing physical education in our
schools.
In regard to the war program Of the
physical department Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Mr.. Draper said: AT the time the war
started the 7. NJ. G, a. and all other
institutions had less than 500 trained

You arc sick. am sick. VIC are all
ease which did so much mischief to
Helen Douglas and her husband
Alan. who appear Friday afternoon
and evening at the Colonial Theatre
in ''Extravagapce." About, every
crime in the dictionary Of lawlossness
has been committed, many times, be-
cause Of this disease. In 'Eatray-
agancc" VIC see a few more of these
crimes all committed because Of this
disease called tho love Of money.
Dimpled Dorothy Dalton takes the
part Of Helen. the wife. who causes
so much trouble. His money in her
hands was like water in seive, and
he wasn't far behind her when i,
came to spending money. But it led
to the very bottom falling out OF
their lives. Dorothy is dimpled al
right, for the lovers Of the silent
drama have seen her SO many times
in previous pictures and have noticed
her dimplc. Dorothy doesn't stay UP
late nights imprcssing her dimples,
they arc just as natural as the sun
shine and the roses. only much more
durable. for they will stand rain and
wear But n this picture. "Extrav-
agance' where are Dorothy's dimp-
les? This is the first Of her pictures
We remember seeing wherein the
famous indcntations did not show UP.
She has plenty Of chances to hide h r
dimpics. for there are plenty Of far
from frivolous scenes in "Extrava-
gance." But just to tease her
friends along Dorothy hides her
dimple a good many times.
The story. written by John Lynch
casts Miss Dalton in exacting situa-
tons, which she meets with conviac-
ing naturalness. She is seen as the
woman of vanity. gratifying her ev
cry desire for clothes and jewels--a
being of innate selhshness Who
wrecks her husband, but is awakened
to her error. She is throughout a
natural human being-a character
that seems to step from the screen
and live in the flesh and blood.
AS may be surmised the picture is
filled with beautiful and spectacular
scenes, as we'll as gowns for women
to rave about-the men like 'em too.

Of designers and dressmakeFs was
