NEW IRISH TENoR's RECITAL.

gave his first song recital yesterday
afternoon in Aeolian Han.
Much Of his talent is misdirected He
uses too much falsetto, and his high voice
is not yet properly placed. But he has
real singing style. He phrases WE'LL
when he takes care, and except when tone
production stood in the way of enunci-
ated his English songs well. His pro-
gramme was fashioned after those gwen
by John Mccormack, and he has sue
ceeded in initiating this singer better than
any of the Irish tenors heard here in re-
cent years. He sang a Handel aria,
Beethoven's Adelaide" two groups of
Irish songs, American selections and
works by Brahms. Rachmaninoff and
Grieg. Rachmaninoff's "Lilacs" he sang
with good deal Of charm. Except at the
top, his voice is sweet and clear, but he
tends toward too sentimental style.

''The Light of the World serious
play from the French of Pierre Saisson,
was presented last night in the Lyric
Theatre.
The production was a charming one; the
play itself novel and interesting. On the
previous night 1t had been given privately
before an audience of clergymen. How
ever they may have been affected by It.
last nights assembly of hard shelled
Broadway first nighters, theatrical folk
and so forth. was visibly impressed. Be-
fore this audience. not much given to
reverence or solemnity as a rule, the play
was a distinct success.
The only point at issue In discussing the
drama is a most important one. The play
is about Swiss villagers who act In pas
sion play, and in it the character chosen
as the Christus has the appearance, atti-
tudes and speeches which are plainly
the view that this was playwright's and
producers trick to place an impersona-
ton of the Redeemer in a play the pre-
sentation would plainly be regarded as
possessing hint OF effrontery.
Individual opinions may vary on this.
but the writer of this article, who is
strongly prejudiced against the story of
Calvary being usurped in any form by the
stage, and who went to the Lyric with that
prejudice, found it impossible to form an
adverse opinion on the propriety of the
performance in this regard.
AS for the author of the play, he seems
rather to have had In mind propaganda fol
a more generous attitude toward illegita-
macy. village Magdalen being the chief
feminine character. This was a generous
idea, no doubt, but scarcely poignant

ORCHESTRA PLAYS
WITH ALFRED CORTOT AS SOLOIST

Smetana's overture to "The Battered
Bride" Rachmaninofrs Concerto, No. 3
in d minor for piano and orchestra and
minor made up the programme of the
orchestra from Philadelphia at its
concert last night in Carnegie Hall.
All jokes relative to the tempo of the
Quaker City must be relocated to ancient
for since the advent Of Leopold
Stokowski to conduct it's orchestra. its
musical life has speeded up to the limit
of excitement and thrill. The orchestra
played with great volumne of tone su-
perbly controlled. and with a vibrant
qualify that made pulses throb more
quickly. Mr.. Stokowski gets unusual
dramatic effects: he quickens tempis
already quick; his contrasts, sometimes
subtle; sometimes sudden, startle with
their unexpectedness. Even If one objects
to thinking. and likes to take ones music
in comfortable dreaming one finds ones
self forced to listen with thoughtful at
tention and enjoy the process. Flee, color
rhythm, thought-all glowing-this is
music as played by the Philadelphians
under Mr.. Stokowski's baton.
Alfred Cortot was the soloist in the
Rachmaninoff Concerto. This concerto.
composed by a master pianist, needs a mas
ter pianist for its successful performance
This Mr.. Cortot is. He played with daz-
zling brilliance, with crystalline tone, with
superb rhythmic accents. He has not the
broad sweep of Mr.. Rachmaninoff, who has
played this concerto with our local or
chestras. nor has he the dynamic power
when taking accelerando passages cres-
cendo In the climax Of the finale his
tone did not sustain itself against the
massive orchestral detonation. But this
is mere quibbling, for his interpretative
power and his technique are OF high or
der. They excited the audience to ad-
miration that was not confined to polite

Such Is Life
As 1t Is Seen
By o. B. JOYFUL

Like as not the miIkman Of the
future will run out TO the ocean
pasture, milk his herd of whales. and
be all set for the morning delivery.
For whale milk is promised by Capt.
John B. Loop. of Long Beach. Cal
He intimates that whale milk may
be canned. or dried. or condensed.
as COW milk is today, and transported
to interior cities.
Whale milk is richer and more
palatable than COWS milk" the cap
tain asserts. And he ought to know,
for he has been whaling on the Pa
cific for years and years. during
which time he often has frightened
his breakfast coffee with whale
milk.
OF course it is no easy job milking
a whale. Neither is milking a COW
unless you know how.
Being a better seaman than dairy
expert, the captain is a trife wobbly
when it comes to the whale dairy.
But we are assured il will be easy.
Only two things are necessary. They
are:
1-Capture the whale alive.
MAKE her stand still while you're
milking.
II you are figuring on starting your
own whale dairy probably you had
better capture your whales while
they're young. so you can tame them
And, of course, you needn't plan A
dairy barn such as you have seen
on the farm. The whale dairy will
be largely water.
With oceans for pasture the milk
man cannot complain OF the high
cost Of feed. Neither will it be nee
essary for him to hire a man 10
carry water from the well to the
milk can, for there'u be plenty of
water all around him.
It's all right TO marry blindly IL
you can only be sure OF staying
blind.
A Kansas killjoy sends the fol-
lowing notice to the editor Of a
country paper:
Notis-tre will B perse-
cuted to the full extend of mum

when the BIuebIrds Sing.

He was a hard-boiled hobo without
sufficient clothing to wad an old-fash-
ioned naval howitzer. He was soiled
and sinful but possessed what the
knights of the turnpike term "a good
game of talk" In response to the
charge Of vaErancy read to him by
Deputy Clerk CAMPBELL HOWARD
in the Police Court, he made a novel
plea and request.
Your honor" he said addressing
Judge ROBERT HARDISON and
making a courtly bow. Il admit l am
deficient in this worlds goods and
have been unfortunate in the outcome
Of my activities. I have not one OF
those most desirable American cas-
ties familiarly termed home and
my purse is guiltless of coin. But,
sir, l am not a criminal, unless as
the good poet says, poverty is the
worst OF crimes I am in need Of
temporary accommodations and if you
will put me away until. say MAY l.,
when the bluebirds will sing again,
the snow will cease to fly and genial
sunshine supplant the present frigid
conditions. l will be eternally CRATE
full"
Judge Hardison made a quick men,
tai calculation and said:
Let him 20 down until MAY l. The
bluebirds will be singing then"
