MISS REIFSNYDER IN RECITAL
WeIl-known Contralto Appears In an
Interesting Program Of Songs

Miss Agnes Reifsnyder, the contralto,
gave an excellent recital at Wither
spoon Hall last evening. She was as-
sisted by Dorothy Baseler Johnstone,
harpist, and Henry Gordon Thunder,
the conductor, paid Miss Reifsnyder the
compliment of appearing as her ac-
companist.
The soloist of the evening made up
her program from the various schools,
the PRINCIPAL number being Fare
we'll Ye Hills" from TBchaikowskY' 8
Joan of Arc, one of the really great
modern operate arias for contralto
voice. Her other numbers consisted of
four groups, one German (classic
period, one of modern French, and two
American. OF the last two groups Mis-
Reifsnyder chose three songs by phila
delphia composers, Harry Alexander
Matthews. Nicholas Douty aud Henry
Gordon Thunder,
Dorothy Johnstone Baseler, the as
sjsting artist, played rhapsody of
Dubois and smaller pieces by Faure
and Zamara.

formerly the Little Theatre, on D,
| Lancey street.
TNHE role written for Hamlet hat
L stood for years as the longest auC
hardest part any actor could attempt
| in fact has been the standard of length
| since Shakespeare time.
When it comes to making an actor
earn his salary, however. Roi Cooper
Megrue is bound to be a worthy rival
to the Bard. He wins equality in this
at any rate.
In Tea for Three" his newest
comedy, in which Charlotte Walker and
Ernest Lawford are now playing, Mr..
Megrue has gone on the theory that "to
spare the speeches is to spoil the actor" 4"
But there is one part in Tea for
Three" where any one may feel posi-
tive that the actor is not going to be
spoiled for lack of speeches. 1t is the
role uniquely programmed as The Friend
and played by Mr.. Lawford.
The most popular acting version of
Hamlet" gives that character exactly
356 speeches to make. Some are only
u line; others occupy several minutes.
The role OF The Friend in Tea for
Three" has no less than 384 speeches,
eight more than the previous cupholder
of parts. And they vary in length from
one word to one that requires more than
four minutes TO deliver. Mr.. Lawford
was good enough to count em-364.
count 'em--for The Playgoer.
Despite the fact that the role Of The
Friend is a trife longer than that of
Hamlet, it is not, however, as difficult
of mastery. The greater part is easy
dialogue, written in the language of the
day, and its context is so plain and
simple that any actor fully alive to the
situation could go on and carry on a
scene, even though he should be SO un
fortunate as to forget some of the lines.
Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe have
taken special care in organizing the
company with which they will appear
here coon in Shakespearean repertoire.
Frederick Lewis, Henry Stanford,
Rowland Blackstone, Alma Kruger,
Norah Lamison, Virginia Wells, V. L.
