"Thc first impression your city made
upon me was of it's symmetry and sclen-

Wherever women get together-in

mittee is going to pentrate in the
campaign for votes.
This is the pledge to which Mrs.
James Russell Parsons, chairman of
the committee, has dedicated therself
and the workers at the women's head
quarters in the Hotel Imperial. Mrs.
Parsons was q district captain in the

well known anti-sutfragist
I'VE women are enthusiastic for Mr..
La Guardia because we believe it is

SAID Mrs. Parsons last night, land if we
can place him where he can watch the
Board of Estimate the city will at least
know how its money is being spent.
The greatest problem Of the day is the
high cost of living. La Guardia is the
women's candidate because we believe
he viii curb extravaganza. He saved
$170,000000 from the military appro-
priations bill IN the last Congress.
He is tho friend of the soldiers and
sailors who are being dcfraudcd Of
their votes because they we're natural
izcd during their stay in France and
he is the friend OF labor
"For all these reasons a great many
women who have been Independent

have taken little interest in politics
until now, are working heart and soul
for him. We are all volunteers and
from all ranks of life"

Music

Frederick Gunster, tenor who gave
a recital in New York last season. ap-
peared again last night at Aeolian Hall.
and before large audience deepened
the impression he had left last year.
Mr.. Gunster, despite the limited power
Of his voice, is an artist to whom it is
a pleasure to listen. He possesses that
rare trinity of virtues-taste, intelli-
gence and temperament. He knows
how to make song interesting by tone
color and by varied nuance of express
sion. He can spin out tone to a mere
wrath of sound and yet make it tell;
in short, within the compass of his
vocal resources he is an unusual artist
His voice is small but it is pleasing in
quality, and he produces it with rare
ease and fleXibility.
OF his songs last night he was espe-
cially at home in the French group-ir
Rene Rabcy's "Tes Yeux," in Du-
parc's "Lamento" and in Fourdrain's
''Madrigal," while he gave a group OF
Grieg, and especially the Norwegian
composers "From Monte Pincio," with
fine flavor. Among his American Sc
lections were songs by Kramer, Speaks
Horsman, Burleigh and bartholomew
Mr. Gunster received the applause that
was his due.

Drama

Last night the Jewish Art Theatre
gave a glorious performance of Ger
hard Hauptmann's "Lonely Lives" We
do not believe that LONELY Lives" is
a great play 1t seems to us little
limp, there is in it the intellectual's
self-indulgent pampering of mood.
Tragedy should cleave through well
ter Of distracting details that plead
for a respite like a knife welded bv
sinister and derisive god 1t seems
here more like shrouded figure that
haunts the doorways and is always be-
ing beckoned in by the people of the
play until the invitation becomes too
pressing to be refused.
But the clear, full stream of emotion
with which the director Of Emanuel
Relcher has flushed the surface of the
play, the vigor of imagination that
each player poured into the mould of
ms part, makes it shapely and beau
tlful thing. 1t makes the impotence of
these people against the hidden powers
OF life and love and death that galva-
MISE them something as taut and haunt
ing as thin cry.
The play tells the story of little
group of people who, though they
out of their own individual set of cir
cumstances to save one another.
There has come by chance to the
mouse OF a brilliant, restless young
professor a strong self-sustaining in
tellectual woman who is his equal. By
an overpowering instinct the tense,
quiet, self-effacing wife knows that
these are destined for one another. and
their love happens before they are

will tears herself away to go out of
the mans life forever, he finds he
cannot bear it and commits suicide.
The wife, who has brooded over the
fact that she stands between her hus-
band and the woman he loves and who
has from the first contemplated put
ting herself out Of the way, is left
alone.

grimage to the Garden Theatre
to see. Seldom does Broadway see
performances so rich with imag-
ination as those of Celia Ad-
ler's or Ben Ami's. In Celia Adler,
we think, fewer things stand between
emotion and her expression Of it than
almost any actress we have ever seen.
Ben Ami is an artist who is really
poetic, really imaginative, really SEN
sitive. Anna Appel as the mother and
Hyman Mysel as the father gave NOV

In their second production the Jewish
