Fairbanks Film Goes to RiaIto
For a Second Weeks Run

Douglas Fairbanks in his most enter
tanning mood is to be seen at the Rialto
Theatre this week. "When the Clouds
Roll By" proved SO popular at the
Rivoli last week that it moved down
the street for second weeks run. 1t
is picture that has little conference
or probability, but it is vastly enter
tanning all the time and breathlessly
exciting now and again. Doug" is en-
tirely responsible for its idiosyncra-
sizes. He wrote the story and scenario
and he is literally the "whole show"
Any one who is tired of pictures will
feel freshened up after watching the

banks's restless head.
From Hand to Mouth" is an ex-
tremely funny Harold Lloyd comedy.
1t hasn't anything to do with the high
cost of living, as one might suppose

Brilliant Playing Marks !
Philharmonic Concert
Rachmaninoff Symphony ID
Given a Vital Reading by
Mr.. Stransky

A program which, while it was a.
far from scaling the topmost heights
as it was from appeal to the ground
lings, held beauties of very sub
stantial sort was offered bv the Phil
harmonic Society, at its concert yes
terday afternoon at Carnegie Hall.
There was the Rachmaninoff Sym
phony in E minor, the tone poem
Swan of Tuonela" of Sibelius, and
those warehouses of the concert ROOM,
and the Bruch G minor Concerto,
which was played by Mr.. Eddy Brown.
Mr.. .Stransky gave to the symphony
reading broadly conceived and full
of vitality. His climaxes were massive
and stirring and no opportunity was
lost to bring forth the fine sonorities
of this splendid band. 1t was we'll

and crowned with turrets of high en-
deavor, though grim fears might lurk

full sections and lyrical fights az in
its sterner moments, but it abounds in
robust musical thought. There was
nothing finer offered during the after
noon than its second movement. with
its incisive rhythms and languorous
song.
Less we'll knit and closely coherent
was the Bruch Concerto, which was not
at all times given with the unity of
purpose to be desired The at times
rather capricious rubato OF Mr.. Brown
seemed partly responsible for this.
On the whole, however, the work was
played by him with technical sure
ness and warmth of tone which
triumphed over occasional blurred out
lines and fogginess in the accompany
ing voices. But he need not have
sought to put new beauties into its
ftmiliar strains. To disclose any such
to an audience to-day would be All
achievement indeed, and his tendency
to overemphasis of the sentiment with
which the work is drenched seemed an
endeavor to paint the lily. Mr.. Brown
is a confident player and All accurate,
and more straightforward reading
might have struck note of loftier
beauty. He played, however. with

Thomas Rivals
Best of Concert
And Opera Voices
Musical Comedy Star Sings
in Benefit at Hippodrome; F.;
Program of Sacred Music
Given at the Metropolitan

1T is pity that a voice of the beauty
OF the one possessed by John Charles
Thomas should be wasted in musica,
comedy. Mr.. Thomas sang last night
at the Hippodrome at the benefit Of
the Stony Wold Sanitarium and in
"Eri Tu" from Verdi's "Ballo ir
Maschera" and the Pagliacci proluoone
displayed voice of as fine quality
and in the mair as easily produced. as
any to be heard to-day on the concert
OR operatic stage. Indeed, Mr.. Thomas
gave the prologue as effectively as il
has been given in New York for s
number of years. The huge audience
responded to his singing fully as warm
ly as it had previously to Mischa El.
mans admirable playing of the Men.

was accompanied by the New Sym.

Artur Bodanzky, while Frank Tours
directed the same orchestra for Mr.
Thomas. In addition, Mr.. Bodanzky

Cantor Gives Recital
At Carnegie Hall in the evening
Josef Schilsky, young Jewish cantor
gave a song recital and displayed O
voice OF really remarkable beauty and
power, but one which lack of control
and certain bad vocal habits and ex-
aggerations robbed of its true effec.
tiveness. Of Purcell's II ATTEMPT
From Loves Sickness to Fly" and
Handel's Sound an Alarm" he knew
little Of the style, though his enuncia-
ton was clear and his spirit ample
He was better in "The Gelida Mamma
and in LA Donna Mobile" though
here, too. his faulty phrasing was only
too evident. Mr.. Shlisky has the max.
iings Of great singer, but at present
ne is not even a good one.
Aeolian Hall held a sonata recital in
the afternoon, when Herbert and Mary
Dittler played the Bach Z minor, the
Dohonyi c sharp minor, and one by
John ireland in A minor Mr.. and
Mrs. Dittler are both sincere artists
and showed an admirable feeling fo1
ensemble playing, though greater
warmth of tone might have been de.
sired. The Ireland sonata was new, and
from first hearing seemed a com.
position of considerable interest and
one which might be heard again with
profit.

Two Sacred Works Sung

Two sacred works were given at last
evenings "opera concert" at the Met

Gounod's Gosa &c esstata, nna "Gallia, sung by
second was Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
sung by Miss Ponselle, Nine Besan-
zoni, Mr.. Hackett and MIR. Mardones.
Nine. Sundelius has had long expert
ence in works of similar character to
Gounod's cantata. Her pure, rich
voice rose serenely above the sturdy
volume of tone supplied by the chorus
and was effective in solo passages.
Rossini's beautiful melodies were in
striking contrast with the rather sac
charine sweetness of the cantatas.
With the exception of a rather indif-
