Flonzaley Quartet Gives
Concert at Aeolian Hall
schumann's T. Flat Major Quin-
tet Given an Inspired
Performance

The hold the Flonzaley Quartet has
obtained on our musical public was
amply evidenced last night at Aeolian
Hall when an audience which was linn
tied only to the capacity of the audi
torium was held tense with interest.
And the Flonzaleys have earned their
popularity. They have ever been faith
full to what is highest in musical art,
and their concerts have been both rich
IN content and most admirably given.
Last nights concert was no exception
to this rule.
There were three numbers on the
program, in one of which, the Schu-
mann E fiat major quintet, Harold
Bauer appeared as assisting artist.
This composition, one of the most ex-
quisite of all works Of chamber music,
was given a truly inspired perform
ance, and was perhaps the high water
mark of the evening. Mr.. Bauer sus-
tanned his part with all the authority
and musicanship for which he has
been famous, and the ensemble work
Of all the musicians was thrice admir-
able. The audience waxed so enthusi-
astic over this number that it found
the repetition oS the last movement. a
somewhat unusual proceeding in the
dignified history of chamber music!
The other two numbers were two move
ments from an uninsp1red Sonata of
Emanuel Moor and the Beethoven G
major Quartet, Op. 18, No. 2.

Overture Fails to Recall
Latter-Day Productions of
Composer; Philadelphia
Orchestra Heard Again
By H. E. Krehbiel

A gentleman associated With the mu-
sical interests Of the city many years
ago, and for long time, recently
wrote letter to the r1usic reviewer Of
The Tribune asking why the conductors
of the local and visiting orchestras 10
often duplicated features of each
others programs. Was 1t for the pur-
pose OF inviting comparative comment
This was apropos Of the fact that the
Symphony. in minor by, Brahms was
set down for performance this week by
the Philadelphia Orchestra and the
PHILHARMONIC Society. He might have
added that Mr.. Bodanzky chose it to
introduce himself as symphonic con-
ductor at the second concert Of the
New Symphony Society last season, and
that Mr.. Walter Damrosch has fea-
tured it since.
The only reply that could be made
was that the symphonic literature, or
at least that which is familiar to con-
ductors and deemed practicable by
them, is limited in comparison with
the number Of concerts given and thaU
possibly also the thought Of rivalry
was sometimes in the minds of the
conductors, for it is becoming more
and more obvious that it is not a
musical but personal cult which is
at the bottom Of the plethora of or
chestral concerts which are maintained
less by the public than by wealthy
patrons Of the different orchestras.
lnasmuch as under such circumstances
little good would be ACCOMPLISHED bv
discussing the different readings of y
symphony by the various conductors.

New Nine O'clock
Frolic Has All
The Usual Craces
Lavish Display for the Eye
in Mr.. Ziegfeld's Show OF,
New Amsterdam Roof,
but the Ear Fares Worse
By Haywood Broun

In one of the lyrics Of Mr.. Zieg-
fields new "Nine O'Clock Revue" on the
roof Of the New Amsterdam Theater,
the suggestion is made that the opera
would be more interesting than at
present if the principal roles were
taken by girls from "The Frolic." We
are not SO sure. We rather wish that
Mr.. Ziegfeld would reverse the theory
and trade some twenty or thirty OF
his fairest show girls for one singer.
AS usual, the new show is brave and
fine in performance and sets and cos
tunes. No expense has been spared
in pleasing the eye, but not much is
done for the ear. 1t is perhaps not to
be expected that some of the ever so
fair members Of the Ziegfeld company
should also be able to sing, but she
question naturally arises why do they
try? 1t is not the absence of voices
OF which one is inclined to complain
but their presence.
To be sure, there has never been
any crying demand that Mr.. Ziegfeld
should include vocal art among the
other things which he does so well,
put 1t seems to US curious lack. The
midnight shows are in every other re-
spect, perhaps, the best thing of their
KIND in the world. For all the fac
that they are designed as frivolous
entertainment they are by no means
trash. Mr.. Ziegfeld, through his CO.
operation with Joseph Urban, has done
as mucn Tor scenic art as any man in
America. He has revolutionized the
standard and taste of costuming IN
musical shows by presenting frocks
whicn are beautiful as we'll as rich and
lavish. Nor are we inclined to disre
gard the talent which is shown in the
selection of principals and chorus
girls who are themselves not devoid
OF aesthetic attraction Perhaps we
are asking for a perfection which is
not OF this world, but in the case OF
the arts three Joined together may he
much better company than two. Tho
interest in color and in form would be
in no way diminished if Mr.. Ziegfefl
would also make some advances in the
provision of proper and pleasing
sounds Of course, we have in mind
the fact that Miss Lillian Lorraine
sang most OIL the songs last night.
MISS Fannie Brice was the only
truly pleasing singer, but here the ao-
peal is to the sense of humor. Her
hunting song is among the best things
which she has done and is a marvcl
OF inventive clowning. William c.
t1elds Is as funny as ever in his
satlrlc juggling scenes and there
might we'll have been more of the
graceful and amusing dancing Of Miss
Mary Hay, perhaps the fairest of the
frolicers.
Among the novelties was a surpris-
ing mind reading stunt by. Princess
Whaletka, who seemingly succeeded IN
reading the names and inmost
thoughts of the diners Her accuracv
as seeress remains to be TESTED
She picked Leonard Wood as the mex

1t was Reddy's turn to become cross.
"Who says they got out of this tree
trunk? Who says so? If they did,
1t was while you were on guard and
not while I've been here. AS a matter
Of fact, don't believe they have
stirred. If you ask me, they are right
inside this tree-trunk this very minute.
Who says they are not?"
II do," retorted Mrs. Reddy. t'I say
they are not They can't be inside
this tree-trunk and over in the Old
Briar-patch at the same time, and saw
them there with my own eyes when 1
came down from the Old Pasture on my
way over here. Now will you tell me
that you haven't been asleep?"
For minute Reddy couldn't find
his tongue. He was too surprised for
speech He knew that there wasn't
the least doubt In the world that Mrs.
Reddy thought she had seen Peter Rab-
bit and Mrs. Peter over in the dear
Old Briarepatch. But they couldn't be
there! They sfmply couldn't be there!

$5OO,OOO Gift
|ToLegion From
Y.M.C. A. Profit
Association Turns Over
RENTED Transportation
Charges; Recommends a
Fund to Assist Disabled
Women to Share Benefit
Money Expected To Be
Used in an Extensive
Americanization Crusade

The American Legion, it was made
known yesterday, has received a gift
of $500,0o0 from the Young Mems
Christian Association, which has rec
commended that the income from the
fund be used for the benefit of men
disabled in the service of their coun-
try. The donation represents the profit
the Y. M. c. A. discovered it had made
on the operation of army canteens.
after the American and French govern
ments RENTED the transportation
charges on canteen supplies.
The source of the sum is revealed
by the explanation that upon the ex-
pressed desire of General John j. Per-
shing in 1917, the National War Work
Council of the Y. M. c. A. undertook
the operation of the post exchanges.
or canteens, as they were more COM
monty known by the doughboys, in
France in connection with it's other
work for the American Expeditionary
Force. This was requested by General
Pershing, it was explained, so that Of
hcers and enlisted men might not be
taken away for that purpose from their
paramount military functions of train
ing and fighting.
Loss Changed to Profits
UP to the time this work was taken
back by the army, on April /. 1919. the
total volume of business transacted by
the canteens through the Y. M. C. A.
was $37.8o0.000. 1t was the purpose of
the association, it was explained yes
terday, from the outset not to make a
profit on goods sold to the soldiers, but,
on the contrary, to assume whatever
loss might be incurred
On March 81, 1919, the loss appeared
to be $1,478,0S4, and was charged on
the associations books to the cost Of
operating the canteens. But recently
the Y. M. c. A. received word that the
charges for transportation of canteen
supplies had been remitted by the
American and French governments, so
that the association had surplus of
more than $500,000 above the cost of
conducting the canteens.
1t was then, according to officials of
the New York branch of the Legion,
that the executive and finance commit
tee officers of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association wrote to the American
nesioh chaTacterlZlng mat body as
"the organization which is most widely
and intimately in touch with and repre-
sentative Of the ex-service men, and in
our Judgment best qualified to make the
best use of any such funds in their in
terests,' and offered to turn over the
S5OO,0OO surplus from the canteens to
the American Legion without restric-
tion as to it's use.''
Money To Be Held in Trust
The money will be held as a trust
fund, it was said yesterday, for five
years by trust company acting as a
trustee under deed of trust providing
that the trustee shall "hod, invest
and reinvest the principal sum, paying
only the income therefrom to the
