she ne'er took a drag at that awful far

Her chase after wealth by deception

rage, for the "vamp," with a worldly
wise smile, would monde her pet, the
cork-tip cigarette land inhale it with
gusto the while.
But time works. it's changes with a
swiftness that's strange, so the
cigarette evil is done. Now the naughty

Philadelphia Orchestra
Gives Notable Concert
Alfred Cortot, Piano Soloist.
Delights Large Audience
in Carnegie Hall

The concert given by the Philadel-
phla Orchestra last evening at Car
negie Hall, with Alfred Cortot, pianist.
as soloist, was altogether memorable
Late comers, who hoped to purchase
seats, were met with "Standing Room
Only..' Those already in possession
OF tickets found that there had been a
change in the program.
instead of Schumann's Concerto M.
Cortot had decided to play Rachman-
lnof's Third Concerto in D minor, the
noble work played by the composer
himself at recent concert of the
Symphony Society.
Mr. Stokowski had therefore wisely
changed Mendelssohns "Hebrides''
overture to shorter and lighter work.
Smetana's overture to "The Barte red
Bride" Tschaikowsky's Fifty SYM
phony remained on the program. Ac-
cordlng to the management, notice of
these changes was sent the press last
Wednesday. But the word was never
received, and the Russian work came
as delightful surprise.
Mr.. Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto
ranks high among the masterpieces of
musical literature. 1t is compelling
e!lectrifying, astounding in beuaty, in
its mastery form, in the poignant
depths of emotion which the music ex-
presses. M. Cortot gave a superb per
torrance, shade less austere.a "a trifie
more pianistic, degree more emo
tional than the composers own version
of his music. Mr.. Rachmaninoff, un-
obtrusivcly leaving the hall, was dis
covered. and received the applause
which he richly deserved. The or
chestral accompaniment was admirably
played, and the performance Of Tschai
kowsky's Fifth Symphony was fully in
keeping with the artistic merits of a
rare evening.

duced sort of farcical fantasy by
Ossip Dimow entitled "The Bronx Ex-

pedimenta of old-fashioned prejudices
regarding faith, loyalty and honesty

making money by satisfying fictitious
need, artiticially stimulated. The girl
from the cigarette advertisement is
particularly enticing and he elopes
with her. In the next act he is a
millionaire and has arrived with her
at fiashy hotel in Atlantic City. There
he sees his wife in the guise of the
scrubwoman, his son in the little boot

the messenger "boy." 1t all seems to
him too grotesque and unseemly, and
when in remorse he rushes to commit
suicide he wakes and finds himself
again in the subway car.

Plans for Developing
Sixth Avenue Discussed
New Entrance to Central Park
and Elimination of "L"
Main Features

Suggestions that Sixth Avenue here
after be called Roosevelt Avenue, that
it be connected with new entrance to
Central Park at Fifty-ninth Street, that
the Sixth Avenue elevated railway be
abandoned and that the whole thorough
fare be converted into a bigger shop
ping district was made at luncheon
Of the Sixth Avenue Board of Trade
yesterday at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
The board already has completed
plans for q Roosevelt memorial in
Central Park, which would stand at
the head of a proposed Sixth Avenue
entrance. Officials of the board an
nounced that the expense of this work
would be provided for if the city would
find substitute for the Sixth Avenue
elevated.
Walter j. Salmon, the president, said
1T was imperative that congestion in
the avenue be reduced. He declared
that business men believed thousands
of people were driven off the avenue
because of the elevated structure.
Francis D. Gallatin, Park Commits
sioner, agreed with the improvement
plan and urged the necessity of new
entrance to the park. Various engineers
olcieu ougseStlohS that more tranS-
portation facilities would have to be
found before the elevated could be
abandoned.
Nothing would be more fitting than
that the name be changed to Roose-
welt Avenue" said Lewis Nixon. Public
Service Commissioner.
f. Fl. La Guardia, President of the
Board of Aldermen, cautioned business
people not to ask the government to
spend too much. He asserted the trac-
ton lines were burdened with too
much litigation and so per cent of the
work of the legal departments of the
city railways was unnecessary. II am
convinced that there is something
rotten in these legal departments" he

By Haywood Broun

An unfortunate prejudice exists
against introducing the figure of Christ
into modern drama, but the German
playwright on whose work "The Light
of the World" is founded has hit upon
the ingenious expedient of weaving a
story about the man who plays Chris
tus in the Passion Play. But here in
genuity has ended. The new play which
was produced at the Lyric Theater last
night is dreary. One of the most dra-
matte themes in the world has been
made not only tedious but theatrical.
Just where the responsibility lies we
nave no means of knowing. The Eng
lish adapters are not named on the
the original play appears disguised as
Pierre Saisson.. Indeed, patriotism has
gone so far as to transfer the Passion
Play from Bavaria to "a small village
in Switzerland, near the French bor-
der"
The play is labored and mechanical
because the author or authors have
been intent upon placing Christus in
too many situations in which he may
aptly quote the words of the Lord.
Not only does the play suffer from it's
effort to parallel the Gospel story too
closely but also in its attempts to
iiSHteH inc tHeIuc WIN modern mum or,
such as is furnished by an American
baseball writer sent to report the news
of the Passion Play and its people.
1t is probably the intent of the
playwrights that the audience should
identify the vilager who plays the part
of Christus with Christ himself, and
we found Pedro de Cordoba singularly
ineffective in living up to our concep-
ton. He was the most palid of Mes
siahs. He was always still small
light without radiance. Indeed, only
one performer in the large cast con
tributed effective acting. Clara Joel.
in a role which paralleled Mary of
MagdAla, kashed out with great brill
lance in one or two scenes and then
relapsed in others. Some of the act
ing, that of Ralph Kcllerd, for in
stance, who played the part of Simon,
seemed to us conspicuously bad.
whether or not "Thc Light of the
World" will have large popular ap-
peal. That is beyond our jurisdiction,
although it is, perhaps, fair to say that
it was welcomed with no little enthusi-
asm at the Lyric Theater last night.
To US it seemed to have the one un-
dramatic fault 1t is down
right dull.

Arthur McQuahe in
Afternoon Recital Here

Mr.. Arthur McQuahe, an Irish tenor
hailing from Cleveland, gave song re-
cital in Aeolian Hall yesterday after
noon. He has a naturally fine voice, of
which he makes such singular use as
to force the conclusion that his ap-
pearance in public is at least prema-
ture.
His program was quite as unconven-
tional as his vocalization, running from
q classic song by Handel, through some
fine specimens of German songs to
Irish folksonRs and American ballads.

For Laws to Curb
Rent Profteering
Lockwood Committee Would

Stag Correspondence
ALBANY, Jan. 6.-The Lockwood
housing and anti-rent profteering com-s
mittee, which has been investigating
housing and its problems in New York
City and other congested centers of the
state, will file its preliminary report
with the Legislature tomorrow.
One of its recommendations will be
to enact law making it crime for
a landlord OF his agent not to supply
heat, light and other service specified
IN lease to tenant. The penalty to
be provided will be, imprisonment for
not more than one year and 81 900 fine.
Another recommendation will be to re-
peal the Ottinger law, signed by Gov
ernor Whitman in his last term, hold
ing verbal leases for year to be
illegal.
Another law which the Lockwood
burden of proof on a landlord or his
agent when he seeks to break a lease
on the ground that the tenant is unde-
slrable. This recommendation was pro-
voked by the recent decision of the
Appellate Division holding that that
section of lease permitting a landlord
to dispossess tenant merely because
In his opinion tenant was undesirable
was binding.
Mayor Hylan yesterday announced
the appointment of new committee
on rent profiteering, to take the place
OF Nathan Hirsch, chairman, and the
other members of the original com
mittee, who resigned after the Mayor
had refused a $4,000 appropriation
asked to continue the work.
A. J: W. Hilly, of the legal firm
OF Hilly & Geoghan, 302 Broadway,
was appointed chairman as Mr.. Hirsch's
successor. The other members ap-
pointed are: Mrs. Oliver Hartman,
Peter j; Brady, editor of the City Rec
ing Trades; Edward l. Hannah, presi-
dent of the Central Federated Union.
and Albert Sokalski, real estate man.
