MARK TWAIN AND COOPER.

A Chicago journalist is the first to
discover the irony OF placing in juxta-
position on tablets in the hall of fame
at New York University, the names OF
James Fenimore Cooper and Mark
Twain. The famous creator Of
'Huckleberry Finn" was one of Coop
ers keenest critics, once declaring
that the Leather stocking novelist"
had no more invention than a horse
and a clothes horse at that. In fact.
Mark Twain derived no little fun from
Cooper's Literary offenses."

QUARTET OF WANDERERS.

These are quaint tales, redolent OF
the long ago. but still fresh with the
personalities of the men who lived
them, that william Boulting has
brought together in -Four Pilgrims"
The author has taken all his material
from old records, quoting some of II
directly and retelling the rest. and
has furnished also Introductory chap
ters for each tale that provide sur
ficient historical background to re-
late II to the world of it's own time,
In the preface he says that they were
"shrewd, fearless, observant men who
oyercame SURPRISING obstacles and
met with adventure unparalleled"
Then he describes them and their
quests: "The first of my bundle of
four was Chinamap, Buddhist
monk Of the early seventh century,
who started alone on an almost i'm
possible quest. My second was an
EnElishman of the earliest years of
the twelfth century, who gives us
some notion OF what the ordinary
palmer was like who went to Jerusa-
lem. MY third was Mohammedan
who in the first half OF the fourteenth
century made several pilgrimases to
Mecca and ran over the world from
Tansier to Picking and from Turkestan
to Timbuktu NV fourth was an
Italian, the first european Christian
on record to reach Mecca" The book
will afford much enjoyment to those
who like to summon up the pageants
of the past and who take pleasure IN
tales OF strange and adventurous
wanderings &c. p. Dutton & Coz

John Drew Asks Clothing
For the Near East Relief

AS chairman of the National Theatri-
cal Committee of Near East Relief
John Drew is making an appeal to all
members Of the theatrical profession
asking. them to ransack their ward
robes and make up a bundle of what
ever garments they can spare, sending
them to the Near East Relief Ware
house, at West Thirtieth Street, New
York City.
1t doesn't make any difference what
size the clothes are; there is need for
all sizes and all kinds of strong gar
ments.
Anything will be acceptable to these
poor people," said Mr.. Drew. ~ have
read cablegrams received by the Near
East Relief which show the most des-
rerate conditions of poverty. There
are over 100000 refugees who were
driven from their homes during the
war and who are still not permitted
to return"
Requests for tags should be ad-
dressed to Mr.. Drew at the headquar-
ters of the committee, 261 Madison
Avenue, New York City. 1t has been
found that the best way to send
bundles is by parcel post or by ex-
press, prepaid.
The members of the theatrical COM
mittee which has been formed to
further the interests of Near East Re-
lief are as follows:
E. F. Albee, Grant Allen, A. E
Anson, George Arliss, Lionel Atwill

tween music and the plastic arts can
not be drawn as closely and clearly as
between the plastic arts themselves, or
between them and literature, because
of the difference in content and ma
terial; but does this affect the right
of n composer to make his appeal to
mans sense of the beautiful in his
manner and to have that right re-
spected? Is not the integrity of his
artistic monuments equally entitled to
preservation with that of the poet,
painter, sculptor and architect? We
do not know that the analogy will hold,
but it might be asked: Ought we, be-
cause we must restore it to save its
existence, change the colors, or the
lines of an ancient picture, or the
pose of an ancient sculpture, because
we have acquired a taste for more
lurid pigments, have improved in draw
ing or learned something in anatomy
which the old artist did not know or
chose to ignore? Ought we in restor-
ing an ancient Diana take away her
bow and arrows and equip the divine
huntress with a magazine rife?

Lois Josephine and the
Flapper i'm ''June Love-

You can count on five fingers the
theatrical achievements of Lois Joseph
inc, who enacts the fiapper role in
"June Love" at the Knickerbocker.
And this fact does not diminish Miss
Josephine's value as an ingenuc. 1t
illustrates the possibilities of success
in stage work If one has the ambition
and desire to work at top speed until
the goal is achieved.
During summer vacation in Boston
Miss Josephine obtained chorus posi-
tion with George Cohan's company
playing Little Johnny Jones'" Here
she received her first lessons in stage
dancing and succeeded so well that
the next season she took partner
and toured big vaudeville circuits. May
Irwin gave her an opportunity of play
ing small part in "Go To, It." She
went into vaudeville again. This time
she devoted all her spare time to de-
veloping her dancing, so that when
Ned Wayburn engaged her for "Town
Topics" she blossomed out a featured
dancer and immediately after that en-
gagement became q vaudeville head
liner.
Recently she created a role in
George M. Cohan's MARY" and when
that attraction closed, she took up her
present role in "June Love"-that of
Booth Harrington style of fiapper.
In this she has shown ability to create
character types, an individual style of
rendering a song and grace of dancing.

Let There Be Color
And There Was Color

Broadway was showing only as re-
Gently as last week, eight picture pro-
ductions containing Prizma interpola-
tions. Among them were "The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse" which
is one; "The Gilded Lily" "Kismet,"
Dream Street." Gypsy Blood"
Isabel" Deception" and passion" :"
These foreign films, which seem such
perfect things when they reach the
fans, really require much doctoring
First come the F. F. VS. (foreign film
vamps), who lure the stilted German
titles into the limpid language of our
screen. Next come the r. C.'s (film
cutters), who eliminate hundreds of
feet of "slow action" and last come
the c. A. E.'s (color atmosphere en-
bellishers); and so successful have
been their interpretations that not only
the main titles and other color effects
have been used, but whole color pro-
logues have been added If only the
cost of production might be reduced sc
that whole photodramas might be done
in colorl

Summer Musical Courses
To Open at Columbia

Courses as varied in range as the
study of the historical and aesthetic
side Of music and the teaching of
music will be given at the Columbia
summer session, beginning July Is.
The courses are planned not only for
the student of music, but for all those
who wish to learn an intelligent appre-
citation Of musical compositions, from
the standpoint of the listener.
No previous knowledge of music is
required for the course designed to
give a general idea Of music from its
historical and aesthetic side. Professor
Rossetter G. Cole, of Chicago, who will
give the cou1se, will illustrate mis- lee
lures with music. Professor Cole will
also teach advanced harmony and mu-
sical forms. An analysis of such COM
positions as Schumann, Op. 6S; Men
delssohn's Songs Without Words" and
the Beethoven sonatas, Op. Z and OPP
13, will be made the basis of the study
and classification of the various types
of musical form,
Elementary harmony is required for
admission to the advanced harmony
course. A course in elementary har-
mony, in which the nature, individuality
and unity of melody, harmony and
rhythm as elements of musical express
sion will be considered, will be taught
by j. H. Fuchs, professor of music at
Hollins College, as will course in
counterpoint designed to develop facil-
ity in Independent part writing.
All the great composers Of the cen
tury and their music, illustrated with
ample musical examples, will be dealt
with IN the course on the nineteenth
century romanticism in music to be
given by Professor Cole. He will trace
the early development of the group of
composers represented by Schumann
and Berlioz; its later expansion under
Wagner's influence; the new tendencies
which appeared in the last quarter of
the century, as in the music of Richal d
Strauss, Debussy and others, and the
rise and development of nationalism in
music in such countries as Russia
Scandinavia and Bohemia
Individual and class instruction in
voice culture will also be given, as well
as numerous courses in the teaching of
school music. Courses in the conduct
ing of school music, school orchestra
arrangement, piano technique and in
depreciation and the teaching of music
appreciation in the elementary grades
have been arranged.
The summer session chorus, in
which membership is open to all sum,
mer students interested in music, viii
again be under the leadership of Waite,
Henry Hall, professor of church anc
choral music at Columbia, who has
planned music festival in which the
chorus will take part.

so unfair that even the enemies of
