Amundsen Sails for Far

For Pole
QUEST OF SCIENTISTS
Small Schooner Bears Party
From Puget Sound to
Polar Ice

SEATTLE, WASH, June 3.-Captain
Raold Amundsen is on his way to '' the
place where the weather is made.'
Late this afternoon, with his hand
full of companions abroad the little
schooner Maud, sailed out of Puget
Sound enroute to the North Pole via
Nome.
A band played the Star Spangled
Banner, and the remarkable expedition
was off, to spend perhaps as long as
seven years, drifting through ice floes
into the polar regions.
How the weather is made; can the
frozen artic ever be made navigable;
how deep is the water beneath the end
less fields of ice; are there other lands
there which remain undiscovered; of
what is the floor Of the polar seas
made; is there animal, or perhaps hu.
man life there, of which the world does
not know-these and many other
questions the expedition hopes to an
swer.
The ocean floor will be studied and
data on temperatures and currents Of
the water at different levels will be
taken.
"With two airplanes and elaborate
Photographic apparatus, we will be able
to study the surface conditions for
hundreds of miles on each side of the
vessel, something that was impossible
when dog sleds were used" Amundsen
said.
To get the answers, the Maud will be
frozen in ice, and will drift as the
storms of winter and the currents of
summer dictate, side excursions by air
plane will be made, covering area such
as other exporers never hoped to reach.
The party is composed of Captain Os-
ear Visiting, Norwegian navy and com
panion of Amundsen on past explora-
tions; Doctors II. U. Severdrup and f.
Malmgren, scientists; Lieutenant Oskar
Umdahl and Lieutenant Odd Dahl, Nor
wegian naval aviators; G. N. Olonkin,
chief engineer; Soren Syvertsen, engine
er and radio expert and o. Pearson radio
mechanic.

Maude has long been one of the most

ings of his own library one can only

Here. you see, is one of those mex
pert plays that work themselves up
into a considerable state OF excite
ment over evidence that proves moth
ing. And even in the little things it
has been carelessly put together one
would think that. on the eve of New

Robert Housum would take the sim
pie precaution TO see that the details
of his melodrama checked up with the
ordinary processes Of criminal juris-
prudence in this city. Had this been
done in this case, for instance, he
would have avoided the mild ripple of
astonishment produced in the audience
last evening when, after murder
committed at s.: 80 o'clock at night. the
newspapers are out next morning with
the Coroner's verdict AS all the
dramatic critics have worked on muir
der stories in their day. their little
incredulous mutterings quite made
hum in the theater.
The distinguishing feature os the
sufficient cast was the presence of that
excellent actor, John Miltern, who ap
pears to have stepped into the shoes
of Claude King. He must have played
that part before he deserted the cast
on the road and hied him to California
as leading woman for the lustrous Pola
Negri.
There remains only one factor in the
proceedings to mention. The precision
and elighf1I additional nndihilitv with
which every opportunity was seized to
mention the Fifth avenue firm which
had set the star sapphire quite upset
the gravity of too canny audience,
recalling nothing so vividly as the old
days when there used to be advertising

BRITISH KIND TO GORDON.
American Producer of "Thc Cat

Kilbourn Gordon, having regained his
land legs and his land voice yesterday
after debarking the Gordon family In a
body from the Majestic on Tuesday,
said that the visit to London. where
he went to present THE Cat and
the Canary" had shattered several of
his pet illusions regarding Britishers.
though he was not grieving particularly
over their loss
I'm the first place. said Gordon, IL
always understood that the English as a
nation were demonstrative to the de-
gree of frigidity. When I attended the
first performance of The Cat and the
Canary at Portsmouth, two weeks ago,
/ had steeled myself to an evening OF
misery. firmly expecting that the mys-
terry play would pass without the slight
est sign of interest. To my asronish-
ment / found that the situations pro-
duced the same excitement as here.
Another illusion of mine that was
shattered was to the effect that the
English were slow in the matter of ad-
vertising. Before leaving New York
had sent ahead designs of the printing
--billboards. &c.--of which our firm
was justly proud. Imagine my surprise
when | found the boardings of England
fairly shrieking the coming of our play.

acquired the monocle habit, but adj

CANTOR TO GET $4,000
FOR 8 DAYS SERVICES
Rosenblatt Will Sing ON High
Holidays in Philadelphia.

Josef Rosenblatt. widely known cantor
of the Temple Ohab Zadek in Harlem;
has just signed a contract that is 10
ring him $4,000 for nine days work.
He has arranged to sing in leading Jew
ish synagogues in Philadelphia on the
1925. This means the two days cele-
bration of Rosh Hashona, or the Jewish
New Year, and the Day of Atonement
following. For his artistic services each
day the cantor will receive $4,000.
His son Samuel, speaking for the
cantor at his home in Harlem last night.
said this is by far the largest amount
his father ever received for singing. He
said the contract is with certain business
men OF Philadelphia who are working in
connection with the Jewish churches
where the cantor will sing.
Four years ago Cantor Rosenblatt was
offered $1,000 a performance with the
Chicago Opera Company. Last year. his
son said he again declined for religious
reasons an offer of $4,000 performance
to sing the role of EledSdr in La Juive'
with the Chicago company. He has fire.
quently been heard in concert here.
While $3.50 is lot of money In any
language, Cantor Rosenblatt's son called
attention to the fact that it will be
spread over three years and that there
are eight little Rosenblatts TO feed.
Rosenblatt was born in Russia forty
years ago. His parents enfigrated early
to Austria and there the boy Josef
learned that he could sing. At eighteen
he was engaged for a synagogue in Pres
burg At twenty-four he accepted larger
opportunities in Hamburg, and at thirty
he came to New York. He has been the
cantor of Ohab Zadek ever since.
