Brazilian Girl, 9, Scores
As Pianist at AeOlian
Marie Antonia Shares Day With
Richard Buhlig in
Recitals

Two pianists shared the day between
them yesterday at Aeolian Hall. In
the afternoon a nine -year-old Brazilian
girl, Miss Maria Antonia, appeared in a
varied program. There were the Bach
Prelude and Fugue, Handl's "Gavotte
Variee," Beethoven's Variations on a
theme of Paisello, nocturne and a
valse Of Chopin, and numbers by Os-
valid, Gricg, Brahms and Heller. The
child showed an excellent technical
equipment and fine sense of rhythm,
and was loudly applauded.
1t is gratifying to learn that she is
now to devote herself to study. That
is what nine-year child is meant
to do, no matter what her talent.
The evening recital was given by
Richad Buhlig, who had aleady ap-
peared here twice before this season
Mr.. Buhlig is a pianist of sincere lAu-
steamship, possessed of a fluent tech
nique, taste and discretion. His playing
of the Cesar Franck prelude. chorale
and fugue was accurate and straight
forward, if rather dry in spirit and
tone. But his intelligence was abun-
dainty evident in this as we'll as in the
List group, which consisted of varia-
tions on a motif Of Bach, in the two St.
Francis legends, and in the B minor
sonata. His audience was of excellent
size.

Removal of u. S.
Dead a Sacrilege,
Says Gen. Organ
Action Contrary to Wishes of
Majority of Bereaved Par
ents; Mortal Remains Con-
tinue Service, He Asserts

Removal of American soldier dead
from France not only would be sacr
legious, in the opinion of Major Gen
eral John F. O'Ryan, but it would be
contrary to the wishes of thousands of
soldiers and bereaved parents, besides
destroying one of the most potent
guarantees of future cordial relations
between France and America.
In statement on the subject yester-
day the general who commanded the
9th Division during the war took the
position that the Americans who died
on the battlefield should be allowed to
rest where they now lie, and expressed
the hope that the public soon would
impress this view on Congress, which,
he declared, had acted hastily in pro-
viding otherwise
. With knowledge of all conditions"
said General Organ, 81 hope that a
strong sentiment will develop among
the families Of the dead, protesting
against what to me seems almost
sacrilege-the removal of the bodies of
sites in France where they died to-
gether, and which will become places
of pilgrimage for the honoring of their
memory"
General Organ cited the recent pill
grmage of the people of Bony to the
cemetery where lie the bodies of $50
Americans as proof Of the afectionate
reverence of the French for the men
who sacrificed life to free them from
the Germans.
"Could there be any more certain
safeguard against unpleasant rela-
tions in the future between France and
America" he continued, "than those
silent crosses? Lying where they do
even the mortal remains of these SOL
dlers continue to serve their country.
DO those who urge the deportation of
their bodies from France and their
dispersion in America contemplate the
results of what they propose? Every
thing was done that could be done at
the time when the evidence was fresh
to Identify and inter the remains of
our dead. TO attempt now to remove
and disperse them would involve not
only great expense, but would carry
with it many difficulties and regretta-

Few at Europe Fund Concert

The Clef Club of New York gave
concert last evening at Carnegie Hall.
IN aid of a memorial fund to per
petuate the name and honor of Lieu
tenant James Reese Europe. After
seeing service with his band at the
front, Lieutenant Europe was mur-

cert IN Boston, given shortly after his
return to America
The audience last evening was too
small The Importance o. the negro's

search of more entertainment would
have been fully repaid by the per
formance of the comedian singers and
dancers of this excellent organization.
Those who were present, however.
made up for the ssnallness OF their
numbers by the heartiness Of their
applause.
The program included Europe's Clef

and dances by various members of the
club. The conductor was William IL.

William c. Eikins.

''Sanson,'' Sans Biceps,
Seen in Striking Play
Jewish Art Theater Presents
Eternal Triangle in Force
full Manner

The Jewish Art Theater has nre-
sented to New York one of the most
striking Of modern Continental dramas.
1t would seem to be eloquent Of our
insularity, Of something defective in
our contacts with the rest of the world.
that knowledge of it should come to
us by the roundabout way of Yiddsh
version, made from the Russian, in
turn made from the Danish, and that
by so indirect a route we should be
informed of the powerful and intensely
modern art OF the Danish poet Sven
Lange, who is it's author.
When finally it comes to English
speaking audiences they will find it
sharp with the light, subversive wit of
modern pessimism and brilliant with
lronic perception-a play that thrusts
hard with satire and a passion for
truth at Phillstinism
Samson and Delilah" is called a
tragi comedy, and it balances delicately
grotcsquere and tragedy in a modern
theme which draws on the Biblical
legend for its symbolism The leading
ilgure Is young poet, a creature whose
intensities and ardors of the spirit are
shielded by chldlikc freakishness
and naivete. He is very travesty of
the figure Of Samson, but there is
something in him to mock and hold at
bay the Philistia Of art and life which
surrounds him. He is deeply cnsnared d
by his actress wife, who holds him by
her sheer animal vigor-and he has
written play symbolizing this tragi,
seductin in dramatization of Sam sor

derstand a word of it; she fears it will
give the public an undesirable impress
sion Of her, and she is, moreover, ut
terly wearied of her husband. And he
is tormentcd by the suspicion that she
is carrying on an affair with a rich and
vulgar furniture dealer
"Ah, do not betray me with him." he
pleads. deceive me with some one OF
your thcater, but not with him. He is
the Public"
And in these figures is the play
played out-the wife and her lover aug
mented by the Philistines of the stage
who have his play in their hands.
The betrayal of him by his wife, the
tragic ending, are symbolical, but it is
an opaque human drama as we'll.
And it is illumined throughout by
the truly great art of Jacob Ben Ami
who plays the leading figure of the
poet. There is no vernacular in hi;
acting. By the gift Of imagination ano
a magnificent sincerity, coupled witt
q most extraordinary creative power
he speaks universal language. If ht
acted in English it would be interesting
to compare him with John Barrymore
The same high-powcred, finely strung
intelligence is here, but his is the more
mobile and less conscious art-some
thing Of an intenscr fire burns him.
1t is on the whole finely meshet
performance in which few implication
