Ruth Clug gave a piano recital. One
of the younger panists, she has an
agreeable touch and sound technique,
but she has not yet attained full ma

included compositions by Brahms,
Schubert, Chopin and Liszt.
Fried played both the pianoforte and
the organ. She displayed marked pro-
ticicncy in the manipulation of both
instruments, playing with taste, in

Edward Shcldons play "Romancc," !"
originally presented here by the SAu-
berts nearly ten years ago, again was
seen at the Playhouse last night with
l}orls keane in the role of La Caval-
llni the first time since 1914, wnen
Miss Keane took the piece to England.
The play has coursed romance in
IT'S own right since the early years of
tne war. Its war record added
glamour to the welcome it received
i ,ast night. For its London run had
lasted all through the trying DAYS Of
the Zeppelin air raids In those days
the performance was interrupted time
and again by the warning of hostile
ar craft, to be resumed when the
audience emerged from cellars and
bombproofs. BY Miss Keanc's English
marriage Romance" might almost be
regarded as a foreigner; if so. it was
repatriated last night with honors. 1t
was easy to understand why London
plavgoers declined to allow battle.

than temporary halt to this play.
On several occasions in London audi
ences kept the theater until 9 or i
O'Clock in the morning. New Workers.
are not such late walkers; they de-

One who did not see the play in it's
New York heyday will concedc that
MISS keanc brings to her romantic
protrayal of the character Of tho Ita]-
IAN grand opera singer all the beauty
and personal charm of her orioinnI
representation, for her present pcr
formance could hardly have been sur
passed.
La CCavallini is a role calling not
only for frekucnt and tirinr emo
tionai outbursts, but also for sustained
endeavor with little relief, for the
CHARACTER is on the stage virtually
thfoughout the play.

cast, including her husband, Basil Svd-

Clare Hummer must have enjoyed
writing the four one-act plays which
made up the matinee bill at the Punch
and Judy yesterday. Two of them are
with music, and 'The Choir Rehearsal'
was long popular vaudeville favorite
The best of the plays is called "The
Robbery" in which by device, skilful
enough to serve Miss Hummer accom-
plishes the meeting of a strange young
man and young woman and sets them
down to talk about nothing in particu-
lar. Nobody in all the world does this
particular sort of scene half so we'll as
Miss Hummer, and "Tke Robbery" is
in her best vein. Moreover, it is excel
lcntly played by Miss Ruth Gilmore
and almost as we'll by Sidney Blackmer
Both young persons bring an air of
breeding to the piece. Miss Gilmore
is better because she seems less aware
that she is bringing it.
Bridges" which enlsts the services
of the same two players, is q trile
deal Of deft dialogue. Sallie Fisher
carried the burden of 'The Choir Re
hearsal" and sang it badly, but later
she made amends by singing "Chinese
Love" very we'll. j. M. Kerrigan is
extremely useful in this play, and also
in "The Robbery" In fact Miss Kun
mer is richly endowed with players,
and mention must be made Of the good
work of James Lounsbery in "The
Choir Rehearsal" and cf Stanley How
lett, who begins the afternoon as a
minister and finishes up as pirate.
Mary Ellison also is amusing as a
New England spinster and personable
as Chinese lady of high degree.
