America Feeding
Starving Europe
Shown on Screen

"Starva tion," showing in motion pictures
the work of the American Relief Admins
tration, of which Herbert Hoover is the
director, in feeding the destitute In many
European nations, was presented last
night in the Manhattan Opera House. The
pictures cover remarkable extent OF
activities, and are interesting in theif
views of conditions in Russia, Roumania,
Turkey, Austria, Poland and other places
where American food is saving thousands
of lives.
Stress Is laid In the accompanying
legends on the fact that it is food, and
food only, that is holding back the tide OF
Bolshevism in Eastern Europe. Owing to
a rather clumsy notion OF what constr
tuted such propaganda, series or pic
lures at the end had lamentable aspect
producing an effect almost the opposite
These showed the hanging and execution
of Boshevists without sufficiently ex-
plaining their crimes. These men ana
women seemed to be meeting death In
most heroic way, and were rather inter
esting in appearance, so this section oil
the entertainment unwittingly constituted
about the best little puff for the Bolshe-
visits ever seen on an American screen.
The dire need of the war worn countries
was. however, thoroughly set forth. and
the spectacle of long lines OF little Aus
trian children, subsiSting through the
mercy and kindness of America, was espe-
cially affecting The pictures were made

the Relief Administration.

PLAYWRlGHTS ADMIT THAT
THEY ARE "PIERRE SAISS0N''

Guy Bolton and George Middleton. who
hid behind the nom de plume OF Pierre
Saisson" until HEHAJD theatrical reporter
ran across their dugout and turned the
spotlight on them Thursday morning, came
out into the open last night and admitted
it all. In a joint. signed statement sent
TO the HERALD they acknowledged the au-
thorship of THE Light of the World
produced at the Lyric Tuesday night.
pierre Saisson Is only pen name and
not the name Of a real author" they
wrote. IT was our intention never to re-
veal this fact, but to maintain the use
OF this pseudonym for our future serious
work. The reason for our adoption OF this
pen name was that we have been identified
with the authorship of lighter forms of
entertainment, having Jointly written
Adam and Eya,' Polly with a Past and
Back TO Nature. which Ia a new comedy
soon to be produced, and Mr. Bolton also
Is the author of a number of musical
comedies. including new one which Is
to be brought into New York next spring
The Light of the World is the first
serious work resulting from our collabora-
ton. 1t Is not an adaptation. but an
original play, and Is from no foreign
source. either French or German. as has
been widely suggested. IL was not our
intention to mslead the public in regard
to possible foreign authorship, but mere
~ TO follow such an example as that of
Mark Twain, who adopted this same meas
ure. hiding his authorship at the time
he published his Joan dare his reason
for using pseudonym in this instance be-
ING precisely the same as our own.

lie Cog dor" Sung
at the Metropolitan

Among the novelties in the last few
wars in the Metropolitan Opera House
there is nothing more charming than
Rimsky- X orsakoffs LIE Coo dor" which
had it's first presentation OF the season
there last night.
The production has not changed ma
terially since its premiere, although last
night II was directed for the first time
by Artur Bodanzky. He made move
at a livelier tempo than did his predeces-
sor Pierre Monteux. and he made 1t sound
more polished and more refined. 1t Is a
sort of musical burlesque. There Is
comedy I'm the music as we'll as In the
action OF the mines on the stage.
Nine Mabel Garrison sang the music of
the Princess delightfully."-. 1t Is very ditti-
cult. Only singer with the surest possible
sense of pitch could manage It, Adamo
Didur made the phrases OF the King ap-
propriately gruff, and Rafaelo Diaz pre-
sented the music OF the Astrologer better
than he did last season. His voice, too,
sounded fuller and fresher. Nine. Louise
Rerat sang the part of Amelia for the
first time. Mr.. Bodanzky set the tempo
in her lullaby in the first act too fast for
her to follow. One missed the beautiful
voice of Miss Sophie Braslau, who did
this bit of melody eXquisitely last year
SO much for the singers.

in the mining of Adolph Bolm as the King

feeling which exists in a wrong sense be-

that 1 told them my age was such I
couldn't wait" The time OF the action is
the year 1918 and shows two Americans N
a provincial home and exploits the diff

MUSIC.
SIMPLE SONGS OF SIMPLE FOLK.

Those who take their music seriously,
who consider 1t in other aspects than the
purely sensuous. found the recital Of Miss
Lorraine Wyman and Howard Brockway
at Aeolian Hall last night to their salts
faction. The historian, the musician, all
found the simple songs of simple folk
pleasant contrast to the sophisticated
songs were English, Scotch and Irish folk
songs, which had been introduced into this
country seven or eight generations ago
and preserved by oral tradition among the
pioneers of the Kentucky and Tennessee
mountains. AS these mountaineers have
never gone In for liberal education, but
are, according to census reports, practi-
calIy illterate the songs preserve all the
naIvete and charm of the early natives.
Miss Wyman added greatly to the en-
joyment OF the songs by her brief prefa-
tory remarks. The story Of THE Sporting
Bachelors" was particularly interesting
The old woman who related 1t to her had
married an old blind beggar, and, realiz-
ing the value of these ballads earned a
comfortable livelihood for both by travel
ling over the mountains, singing as she
went, a genuine example OF minstrelsy IN
America.
'The Inconstant Lover" was another
delightful whimsy about fascinating but
unfaithful William, and OF course, there
had to be the moral of the green willow
