Miss Grill Gives Recital

Giulia Grill, another newcomer in
the city's concert lists, gave song
recital yesterday afternoon in Aeolian
Hall. His voice is a mezzo soprano,
well placed and effectively used, except
for a persistent tremolo. 1t is of wide
range, with more of soprano lightness
than of the dark coloring Of the con-
trafto. She has a pleasing personality
and sang with appreciation Of the emo
tional character of her songs, but with
somewhat timid approach to dramatic
intensity
On her program was group in
French, including the aria from Sam
son ct Dalila," Duparc's "Chanson
Triste" and "Phidyle" and the "Segui-
diila" from Carmen" in which she
had the assistance of Albert Wolff of
the Metropolitan Opera at the piano.
In the Italian and English numbers,
which opened and ended the program,
excellent accompaniments were fur
nished by B. Gagliano.
In addition to her cultivation of
music. Miss Grill has attained a meas
ure of prominence as member of the
Kings County bar.

Children Of Tenements Lose
Playground Wendell Provided
Estate OF Late Eccentric Millionaire Leases for
Commercial Purposes the West Broadway Lot
tie Walled In Ten Years Ago for Youngsters

The 100000 playground Of the chill
dren from the Thompson Street flats
provided by the late John Gottlieb
Wendell, on West Broadway, just north
of Grand Street, is lost to the young
sters. Announcement was made yes
terday that the space which the ecce 4
trio multimillionaire reserved for the
children of the neighborhood years ago
had been leased for garage purposes
and building would be constructed at
once, to the .dismay Of the youngsters,
who have made the plot echo with their
shouts.
The four sisters of Wendell are car
rying out their announced policy of
making all their late brothers prop
crty pay dividends. The playground on
West Broadway paid no tangible div
idends to Wendell. 1t was like the cele-
b, brated yard of the Wendell home on
Fifth Avenue, just r9rth of Thirty
ninth Street, which had long been the
playground of Wendell, dog. Last year
it was announced that this million
dollar yard would no longer be the ex-
elusive romping ground of New York's
most pampered pup, but would be the
site of commercial building. Now
comes another decision that runs at
even stronger cross-currents to the
sentiment which the head of the Wen
del family showed during his lifetime
the decision to do away with the
playground which for ten years has
been the romping street of urchins who
have no other place to which they can
turn, except the automobile filled
streets.
Story of the Playground
The children in the neighborhood of
West Broadway and Grand Street all
know the story of the playground.
They know that the strange, silent
man who owned New York real estate
worth many millions was their good
friend. They know that one day, on
looking at the children swarming in
Thompson Street, in front oe the tene-
ment building he owns there, he had
gone around to the rear of the build
ing. where he had big plot fronting
on West Broadway, and had ordered a
box dealer to move from that plot.
When the box dealer had complied
with the summary order the children
know that their strange friend went to
work and put up brick wall ten feet
high, costing at least $4,000. along the

Girl of IL, Sole
Support of Mother,
Fights School Law
Queens Women Aid Efforts
to Save Her From Being
Forced to Attend Glasses
and Give Up $25 Position

Why should seventeen-yearo old
girl who is the sole support of her
family attend continuation school?
This is the question which Mrs. Eliz-
abeth A. Doyle and other prominent
citizens of Queens are going to take
into the Long Island City Court March
26. Mrs. Doyle, who is president of
the Big Sisters of Queens and one Of
the vice-presidents of the Democratic
committee of that borough, has become
the champion of Catherine Lange, sew
enteen years old, who has been brought
into court by the truant officer for her
failure to attend continuation school
in the daytime.
Catherine is earning $25 week in
the office of an airplane company.
and her mother, who formerly took in
washing, is suffering from the same
disease, so that she is unable to work.
There is also younger sister in the
family In spite of the fact that the
S25 earned by the girl is essential to
their support, she has been inform ed
by John Tiffin. principal of the con-
tinuation school of Astoria, that she
must attend school.
Her case was heard before Magis-
trate Harry Miller last month, and she
was dismissed Last week another
complaint was drawn against her. This
will be heard by Magistrate James
Conway March 26
Herbert O'Brien, of Jamaica. law
yer, who has volunteered to help the
girl, said yesterday that the applica-
ton of the continuation school law to
such a case was absurd and plainly
outside the intention of the law
Mrs. Doyle declared last night that
unless Catherine Lange was permitted
to held her position she would start a
movement in Albany for change in
the education law.

They could 20 there and play to their
hearts content, with no cops to in
terfere and no traffic to endanger their
lives. The taxes on the property
amounted to more than the rent he got

Wendell did not care.
ground and the Kids went on plavinr
there, and when he died in California
on November so, 1914, it was supposed
that the handball players and hoop
rollers would not be disturbed. The
Wendell estate has ruled differently
however. The heirs are Misses Mar
f., Georgiana G. r.. and Ella V. Won
Z. Wendell, of 442 Fifth Avenue, and
Mrs. Rebecca &. D. Swope, of 249 Cen
trail Park West. The maiden sisters
have lived in this so-calied '"house of
mystery" since 1856.
No callers entered that house dur
ing Wendels life there, and none has
called socially since then, it is said.
Also the idea of the eccentric brother
is carried out in never selling piece
of property but always leasing. 20
this day there lis an action on the
dockets to recover property in Dey
Street which was condemned for the
Hudson tubes.
Other Evidence of Philanthropy
Creating the playground for the
street waits and refusing to sell the
valuable plot in which his dog played
were not the only evidences of Wendels
kindness of heart When workman
was injured in dynamite blast while
some of the Wendell property was be-
ing improved the rest of the work was
finished by hand, though it involved an
immense amount of labor and expense.
The announcement that put an end
to the pleasure of WendeFs youthful
proteges came through usual real estate
channels yesterday. 1t said that the
Wendell estate, through the Business
Exchange, had leased the walled-in
property on West Broadway, go feet
north of Grand Street, for a term of
twenty-one years to George l.. Stivers,
president of the Community Garages,
who will improve the site with garage

tracts for which have been awarded to

But the kids around on Thompson
Street and elsewhere in the neighbor-
mood know that those few prosy lines
mean the end of lot of fun.
