Russian Quartet and Two
Women Singers on Program
in Aeolian Hall

Sasha Fotichenko gave a concert in
Aeolian Hall last evening. Although
the musician and his tympanon can
scarcely be considered in the light of
a weighty influence in the musical life
of New York, his concerts are in
variably entertaining. With velvet
hangings and screen, an Oriental
lamp and several palms, the tynlpanon
is not the least decorative acc essory
of picturesque state setting.
Last evening nervous spotlight
lowered hesitatingly about the tym-
panon, Mr.. Votichenko and the screen
behind him, while the Russian Cathe-
dral Quartet appeared trihe discon-
certed by the footlights.

quartet.
Among the most successful numbers
played with indisputable skill by Mr..
Votichenko we're a Russian Rhapsody
and an ingenious arrangement for his
instrument of Ravel's "Pavane sur la

Reviyifed i'm
Play at Booth
'''Not So Long Ago" Proves
To Be an Engaging Little
Play Saved From Over
Sweetness by Its Wit
THE CAST
By Heywood Broun

mot SO Long Ago." which was pre-
sented at the Booth Theater last right,
i. charming and amusing light
comedy of New York in the early 70s.
Arthur Richman is the dramatist 1t
is we'll that the charm of the play is
SO stanchly supported by humor, for
three acts of unadorned charm may be
CHASTITY indeed, There were a few
seemed as If Mr.. Richman's little play
was going to get bit out of hand and
fall to the bottom of the treacle we'll.
but the catastrophe was bravely and
happily averted. for whenever the play
came perilously close to slippery
downfall the author had the discretion
to throw out line of saving and SAVIOR
ing wit.
Never did he become so panic
stricken as to have recourse TO any
stout cable or hawser Mr. Richman's
wit is fine spun, but amply sturdy to
serve his purpose. 1t is privilege and
a pleasure to find in our theater a
dramatist with so deft turn of writ
ing, so nimbe a wit and so keen a gift
for delineation of character The play
is fragile, but it never forgets its bust
ness of telling a story and getting on
with it.
Once again it is the story of Gin
derella which has served so long and
SO honorably in our theater But the
Cinderella of "Not So Long Ago" de-
parts pleasantly from tradition. She
is not content to sit in the ashes and
NOPE. Even before the prince ar
rives she lies to her friends and rela-
tives and says that he has come. She
knew her fate, did Cinderella.
The play is of the New York of
fifty years ago and there is not a
little talk of the ruinous cost of liv-
ing. Eggs are twenty-five cents a
dozen, but one cocksure young man
comforts the victims Of the pro iteers
I by telling them that it is his we'll
reasoned Judgment that prices will
soon come tumbling down and never
go SO high again.
A good cast plays we'll, but it is not
quite deft enough to give the author
a perfect performance There are times
when Miss Eva lie Gallienne, and more
particularly Mr.. Sidney Blackmer, for
get that a strain Of constant satire ac-
companies the tale of loves young
dream They are too serious by half
now and again. But both these young
players bring freshness to their roles
and both are ingrat.ating. In a good
supporting company Beth Martin gives
an excellent account OF herself, as do
Esther Lyon, Gilbert Douglas, Thomas
Mitchell and George II. Trader. "Not
| SO Long Ago" is excellent and engag-

Jack Rabbit. Jack just cannot keep
away from the crops planted by men.
His family is very large, and when q
lot of them get together in a field Of
clover or young grain, or in a young
orchard where the bark of the trees Is
tender and sweet, they do so much
damage that the owner is hardly to be
blamed for becoming angry and seeking
to kin them. Yes, l am sorry to say
that Jack becomes a terrible nuisance
when he goes where he has no business
to. Now, guess you've learned enough
about your relatives. l have a great
deal to do, 80 skip along home, both of
you"
"If you please, may we come again TO-
morrow" asked Peter.
what for?" demanded Old Mother
Nature. Haven't you learned enough
about your family?"
EYES," replied Peter, "hut there are
lots and lots Of things l would like to
know about other people. l would like
to come to school to you every day.
You see, the more l learn about my
neighbors the better able to take care
Of myself I will be-"
"All right, old Mr.. Curiosity" replied
Old Mother Nature good ma turedly.
Come again tomorrow morning. I
wouldn't for the world deny any one
who is seeking for knowledge"
So Peter and Jumper politely thanked
her and started for their homes.
