there is variation of the Dawn
motif" for close of the day.
Obviously we have spent the night
on the mountain, twenty-four hours
from daybreak to daybreak If the
variation of the theme, as it seemed to
us, was an inversion of it, then this
poorly cerebral device was of kin
with that practiced by Kuhnau, in a
Biblical sonata a companion piece to
the delightfully."- waif and quaint
day before last, describing the fight
between David and Goliath.
Kuhnau also wrote q sonata about
Gideon and delinated the miracle
which put heart of courage into that
old warrior by writing theme to rep
resent the wet fleece and the dry grass,
which was to be sign Of divine ap-
proval, and then setting the same
theme to be played backwards to rep
resent the dry fleece and the wet
grass.
The final number of the program
(there were only three pieces) was the
ever delightful overture to 1.-THE Bar

the symphony and this Mr.. Zimalist
played Glazounoff's violin concerto, a
composition full of virile charm. Mr.
Zimbaist's playing. coming after the
vast deal Of fiddling that we have heard
lately, was refreshing in its artistic
maturity. 1t was not violinist play
ing the violin, but musician making
music on an instrument which hap
pened to be violin.

perception OF character. Intuition she
has to an extraordinary degree. Hers
is world lit by lightning flashes, but
plain daylight is no good to her. At
one moment she has brought you

the figure has turned to a marionette
so tightly sewn that you can't even
run your fingers through the sawdust.
"Rollo's Wild Oat" Is built upon an
excellent idea. A young man of means
and no other vices has made up his
mind that he will play Hamlet. This
is to be his wild oat. He hires a man
nger and a company, and picks for
Ophela young girl, who says that
she can't act at all, because as soon
as she comes on stage she is scared
to death. Rollo replies that she is
lust the person for the part, because
Ophelia was probably scared to death.
The play comes to its first night and
Rollo is embarked upon Hamlet" when
he is suddenly called out OF his big
scene by ruse of his grandfather,
who has sent word that he is diving.
The last follows with explanations and
the ironing out of the bumps in the
thoroughfare of true love.
Curiously enough, Rollo's Hamlet,
as much of it as we are permitted
to see, is not particularly amusing. The
young man has voiced the theory that
g lot of traditional fubdub has been
built up to come between Hamlet and
an audience. He insists that the part
should be played as if Hamlet were a
person of our own day, and he pur-
poses to play him without wig or elo-
cution. AS matter of fact. this is
all very sound good sense, and ROLAND

the intent of the enc seems to be
farcial comedy. On the whole, Rol-
land Young's opportunity is not quite
as good as some which Miss Hummer
has afforded him in the past. He is as
fine a light comedian as the theater
affords and expert Mt keeping the ban
ter of Miss Hummer dancing here and
there above the earth, but she has
given him no clearly seen characte riza-
tion to work with.
Her best has gone into the part of
Goldie MacDuff, the young bad actress.
Lotus. Robb is nothing short of perfect
in the part. Although many actresses
have done we'll in other plays by Miss
hummer, here at last is the ideal type.
Miss Robb is gorgeous throughout.
Ivan Simpson also fares we'll and gives
a richly amusing performance as the
valet. There is also excellent work by
Stanley Hewlett and Edythe Tressider.
Most of the others are we'll enough, al
though there are one or two weak spots
in the cast. That excellent actor j. M.
Kerrigan is simply thrown away on
and stodgy old man part.
Anybody who can write such dia-
logue as Miss Hummer ought never to
be troubled with plots or characters or
anything like that. Why bother with
the human heart when there's so much
to be said about airbrakes?

''Rollo's Wild Oat" Flashes
With a Vagrant Fancy, but
CLOVIS Less When 1t
Bumps Into the Plot
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

There are brass threads among the
gold Of Clare Kummer's new comedy
"Rollo's Wild Oat," which was produced
at the Punch and Judy Theater last
night, Some Of it is gossamer and some
is just red flannel. The best Of it seems
to us to be the finest work which Miss
Hummer has yet done for the theater,
which means that It is far and away
beyond the capacity of any other Ameri-
can writer Of light comedy, with the pos
sible exception of Booth Harrington.
Mingled with this Is other materials
which is distinctly dull.
Miss Hummer Is \ playwright of only
two speeds-full and stock still. She
can fly, but she cannot walk. If this
were a play which started with bril-
liant burst and then died away to
nothing 1t would be easy to identify
the author among the not uncommon
class of playwrights who have in them
the potentiality Of good sprint and
nothing more. This is not the case.
Miss Hummer can come to earth, stay
awhile and then take off again and be
back in the clouds before you know
it. 1t has always seemed to US that
such things as plot and story are a
hindrance to her. Situation imposes
responsibilities upon her which seem
to burden her fancy and bring it low.
Her best writing is done at such times
as she is able to get two persons talk
ing together about nothing in partcu-
lar. About airbrakes, for instance, as
they did last night in the most delight
full scene in the playa scene which
affords the most complete delight of
any snatch of drama which has been
hereabouts this season.
Nor has Miss Hummer any very keen

Symphony Brought to Amer

Flights All of Fancy
Composition Criticised as
Lacking Appeal to Lofty
Faculty of Imagination
By H. f. Krehbiel

In q desire. which can only be
praised, to give the interest Of variety
to his programs, Mr.. Bodanzky, at q
concert of the National Symphony
Society in Carnegie Hall last night,
brought forward so-called symphony
by Vincent dIndy,' which bears the
descriptive title Jour d'ete la Mor-
tagne."
When the composer visited the
United States in 1905 on the invitation
of the late Major Higginson, he
brought this composition in an al
had a first performance in Paris in
February of the next year apd on
January 18, 1908, it was given hear
ing in this city at concert of the
Sym phony Society. We were then
moved by the price TO express the wish
that 1t might never again be played
here until congregation had been
created disposed to shut its teeth,
clear its mind of all oldfoggy notions
Of aesthetic propriety and grimly sit
in its seats and listen until the new
evangel Of cerebral music should exalt
them to the chilly heights on which
beauty is contemned.
Symphony of the Head
It was an unamiable wish, we allow.
and perhaps Mr.. Bodanzky is of the
opinion that in the interregnum of
nearly thirteen years the public has
been trained by cruel experience to ac-
cept the conditions which we desired
to have imposed upon it, Nevertheless.
and despite Mr.. Lawrence Gilman's as
sertion that the work IS in essence an
ecstatlc hymn in praise Of the eternal
miracle of the created earth" and NJ
d'lndy's masterpiece and a precipita-
tlon OF his soul, we must confess that
in its performance last night. which
was reverent and admirable, we could
not find anything in it of high imagina-
tiveness or noble and spacious poetry"
or "uplifted and consolatory beauty"
Pretty phrases butter no musical
parsnips and with us the conviction
remains that the symphony is all of the
head, by the head and for the head.
It's highest flight is of the fancy, not
Of the lofty faculty Imagination. 1t is
all thought out-the sequence of ideas,
images and emotions suggested by the
poetical rhapsody by De Pampelonne,
which serves as its program, and the
devices by which the composer thinks
he may represent them musically or
make his hearers think that he has
done so.
The process which he adopts is al
most amusingly ingenious. We have
first a movement inscribed Dawn"
The quietude before sunrise is define
ated by the device of long sustained
single tone, which gradually spreads it.
self through the orchestra. The strings
begin to murmur, flutes and oboes utter
sounds like the calls of awakening
birds and eventually the trombone pro
claims a short phrase, which is, Of
course, the Dawn motif" which gradu
ally evolves into broad song for the
whole band.

GOOD GAMES CERTAIN
IN SUBURBAN LEAGUE

The best Suburban league program
of the season will be on tap Sunday
afternoon when Lynn plays at Cen
terville; New Madison goes to Eldor-
ado, and Whitewater flivvers to Bos-
ton.
The ynn-Centerville scrap holds
center of stage as league leadership
and possible pennand depends upon it.
Victory for Lynn would shove Cen
terville down into the heap and give
Lynn a firm grasp on the silver cup.
A Centerville win will put the teams
on an even basis for leadership.
Dope is uncertain but it indicates
Centerville will cop.
If Eldorada defeats New Madison
the latter will retain second place be
cause Eldorado will move into tie
for first place with the winner of the
Centerville scrap. The loser at Cen
terville will fall harder than New
Madison.
