Attempt to Deceive"

Attempt to deceive
Il am doing this because 1t is now
apparent, to me at least, that Mr..
Root and the 80 eminent Republicans
who are for the league associated
with him in a statement isSued to
secure support for Senator Harding
whom they know by his own words
is against the league-are attempting
TO deceive the voters. They are per-
hitting their partisanship to rise
above their patriotism and trusting
perhaps that the last wobble Of Sepa-
tor Harding may be in their direc-
ton.
Il am trying 20 be charitable to
these men in view OF the fact that
in their craftsmanship they may not
be reading my public addresses, in
which l have invariably said that 1t
would be my purpose TO accept any
helpful resolutions that will make
certain the ratification of the treaty
and the league, and that my election

the American people for going into
the league; whereas the eelction of
Senator Harding, upon his own state
ment, upon the statements OF john
son and Borah, would be indorse-
ment for staying out OF the league.
IL am asking the newspapers to
carry this statement and copy OF
the telegram sent to Mr.. Root as a
matter OF fair play because the as

most educators for more than 40
years, called attention to this very
thing to group of student voters
at Harvard, in my presence, and
pointed out that in the statement
signed by the 81 men, all of whom
he knows, and with most Of whom he
has been associated, they have rec
commended their countrymen to put
into the presidency a man who re-
jects the only league of nations which
has been actually brought into ex-

the very group of Republican lead

disgrace upon the republic
DR.. Eliot Mystified.
Or. Eliot also said that many
parts of the statement issued do not
conform to the well-known facts;
that they are misleading, and that
clear expressions of Senator Hard

1.-The 81 signers of the statement,
DR.. Eliot further said, are all hon

METROPOLITAN STAT
COMING TO THIS CITY

Music lovers of. this city will re-
jofce in the announcement that
Marie Tiffany. the famous soprano,
will give a concert in Perth Amboy
in the near future.
Miss Tiffany is a member of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. one
of the all too few American opera
singers. She Joined the Metropoli-
tan Company very suddenly. too. IL
seems that in 1916 Miss TIFFANY
came to New York from her home
in Los Angeles. She only came to
visit. but while there she concluded
to try her hand-or rather her voice
-an opera. So she gave an inform
the manager, and he was so delight
ed that he engaged her on the. spot.
She has been with the Metropolitan
since that time.
Before the World War Miss Tiff
fany sang in the American church
in Paris. She also made appear
ances in concerts in Chaigneau and
at the Sulle du Foyer. Then she
sang in opera with the Compagnie
Internationale Lyrigne.
Although Miss Tiffany belongs TO
that 'highbrow" set of singers who
are real opera stars, she includes
in her programs all kinds of songs,
from the most classic to the ultra
modern. She has n very wide rep
crtoire indeed. And not the least
of her interesting accomplishments
is the scandinavian songs In which
she specializes. She sings these in
the original Norwegian. and she is
particularly partial to the works OF
Edward Grieg.
Miss Tiffany's concert in Perth
Amboy will be an unexpected pleas
ure to her many devoted admirers
in this city. Admission will be by
invitation, and 1t Is predicted that
music fans will be out in full force.

THEATRES

A Eugene Walter play Is q delight
to anyone who loves a stage story
written in decent English and par
ticularly, with the dramatic force
and insight that this powerful Amer
lean dramatist evinces In everything
he evloves for the stage, a premiere
of one of his productions is some
thing we'll worth waiting for. as no
other playwright has the power Mr..
Walter shows Of lifting the blanket
of flesh and laying bare the narrow
souls OF worldly women and men. II.
H. Frazee, the noted New York pro-
Queer Is sending to Perth Amboy, for
its premiere, the latest Walter play,
entitled, 1.-THE Toy Girl" presented
by an uncommonly fine company of
notable Broadway players. who,
were selected specially for the New
York opening which follows the pre-
s~entation here at the Majestic thea
tire, Tuesday night, Nov. 9th.
AS usual with all the Walter
plays, the plot Is purely Americap in
sentiment, romantic in temperament
and what Mr.. Frazee describes as an
amazingly interesting play, but as u.s.
ua1 with all of Mr.. Frazee's produc-
tons, the story OF the plot is not
evolved beyond the shadow of an
idea, that 1t concerns the romance of
two women of opposite stations in
life and character, m of whom
born to wealth and social position,
assumes a helplessness that proves
her strength, while another. who is
of a coarser strain. becomes her
leader in the eternal adventure Of
women In a new form.
