Love for 3 Oranges Fantastic Opera.
Proko6efs Creation, Based Fairy Tale and Written
by Campanni's Order, Lacks Real Human Touch.

Those who have heard his piano music
know that he Is an ardent lover or
xylophonic rhythms and OF technical
fguration. which finds its perfection in
double octave runs. In his opera there
is much to suggest his instrumental
tendencies. When his prince and Ninetto
are in the rapture of their meeting one
OF his groups of outsiders. the Lyricists,
cries: "Donnez de vrais drames lyriques
romantiques, emotionnants Des fleurs
La lune! !" And the Absurdtfies shout:
Silence! Silence! 81 vous aimez
ramour. ne troublez pas les amoureux."
Perhaps this Is the key to the satire.
Mr.. Prokofieff would poke fun at old
fashioned sentimentalists like Gounod.
Massenet and perhaps even Rimsky-
Korsakov and invite us to regard the
true art, which is that of burlesque,- set
to instrumental patterns.
One therefore searches in vain for
those profounder tones which in endur-
ing operas voice the emotions OF men
and women. Prokofieff writes a rhyth-
mic march; he composes the walls ana
the laugh Of the prince; he translates
into extravagant orchestral speech some
of the doings of his buffoons. The music
In general consorts most amicably with
the action. but there Is little opportunity
for any character on the stage to sing
his soul out to an audience.
This. OF course. was chiefly due to the
fact that the action Of the opera is
mostly broad burlesque. More is re-
quired in acting than in singing. Indeed
at times the performers have to be al
most acrobats. There is much riotous
bufroonery and great deal of gesticula-
ton. Not infrequently the farcical action
is amusing. Rlit the whole work makes
the impress of an extravaganza In op-
cratic disguise.
1t was well done. Boris Anisfeld
painted the scenery, which was stun
ming panorama of grostesqueries and
glaring. colors. Mr.. Anisfeld Is always
happy in fantastic settings and in
this work he had ample scope for his
talent, which has in it a fine vein of
humor.
The performance of this extraordi-
nary creation was one which brought
credit to all the principals for their
hearty entry into the spirit of the opera
and for their desperate efforts to make
something out Of the remarkable par
lando which Mr.. Prokofieff had written
for them. Mr. Mojica had a difficult
role as the Prince and probably did as
mucll with 1t as could be done. Mr..
Qua had to be very active as Troufnl-
dino and was also humorous. Mr.. Du-
frame as the Magician had some Of the
vocal measures in the opera and he sang
them well.
Mr. Prokofief conducted his own work.
He received much applause from kind
ly audience. which seemed to be eager
to enjoy all the burlesque action, but
somewhat at loss as to how to take
the peculiar music.

Consolation.

The stream inaudible that swiftly

Beneath It's barrier Of ice and SHOWS !;
The silence of the hemlocks on the

VIII greet my eyes like morn's
ethereal rose;
No sheen OF green to deck the garden
close,
Only the sweeping vastitudes OF white.
Yet what although no leaves make

What though hear no burden OF the

What though no choir of lyric birds con-

These solaces tho season brings to
The consolation Of the things that were,
The consolation or the days to be!

Colonel Heard's Medal.
Carried Orders to Steamer Engine
Room Under Fire in Spanish War.

From the Army aud Navy Journal.
Colonel John w. Heard, Cav. U. S. A.,
who had a fine record of service and
was the holder of a Congressional medal
of honor, died February at Touro In
flrmary, New Orleans, La. Colonel
Heard was born on Woodstock planta-
ton. Mississippi, March z. 1860, and was
graduated from the United States Mill
tary Academy in the class of 1889. when
lie was assigned to the Third Caval.y.
During his forty-one years of service on
the active list he had the distinction OF
serving in every State and Territory and
nsular possession of the United States.
1t was during the war with Spain that
Colonel Heard, then lieutenant In the
Third Cavalry. won his medal OF honor.
On July %. 1898, he was on board the
steamship Wanderer with eleven enlisted
men of the Eleventh Cavalry to land
stores and ammunition for insurgents.
When off the Manimani River west OF
Bahia Honda, Cuba, the steamship was
attacked by Spanish forces. After two
men of the crew of the Wanderer had
been killed by the Spanish sharpshoot-
ers while attempting to carry messages
to the engine room after electrical and
voice communication had been shot to
pieces, Lieutenant Heard volunteered to
carry the orders and did so under n
rain of fire until the steamship was
moved out Of danger Some of the bull
let's tore his clothing but he sustained
no injury.
Colonel Heard was one OF the best re-
volyer shots in the army. and to this
fact and his GOODNESS he owed his life
in most dramatic shooting event some
thirty-fve years ago. While young Off
Ger serving on the Texas border he took
train for the North and when II stopped
at station the then Lieutenant Heard
stepped off to get q lunch. AS he was
returning up the steps of the car des-
perado who had grudge against the
lieutenant fired two shots at him, but
they went wild, although the man was
only a few feet away.
Lieutenant Heard was unarmed and
moved quickly for his seat to get his
revolver when the man fired q third
shot which again proved miss. A
passenger then slipped his revolver to
Lieutenant Head. who turning to face
his assaiiant ~ho had followed him into
the car shot him dead at the same mo-
ment that the desperate had fired a
fourth shot at him.

In Ireland.

1t is evident that the British are
relying upon the Provisional Govern
ment of the Irish Free State to hold
its own in Southern Ireland. Z The
announcement that the British troops
held in Ireland are kept only for pos
sible use in Ulster is an indication Of
London's policy. Ulster, which has
not come into the Free State, is en-
titled to British protection against
the irreconcilable snipers, and it
doubtless will get it.
The Griffith Collins Government has
no easy job of it in the South. Four
years of guerrilla warfare has put it's
mark on some Sim Feiners. They
cannot get used to peace in hurry.
De VALERA is taking advantage of
this element and of the unrest that is
caused by labor troubles. But now
that his hand is exposed and he is
seen to be a chronic mischief maker
it will be easier for the Free State
leaders to combat him.
The appeal which MICHAEL COLLINS
sends to the United States is one
which the fair minded will heed. He
wants the Irish people to decide be-
tween his party and De VALERA's;
this will be done at the general cleo
tions. Meanwhile" he says, don't
torpedo u.s." AS an overwhelming
majority of Americans of Irish SYM
pathy are in favor of the Griffith
Collins group there will be precious
little torpedoing from this side of
the Atlantic.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY Is, 1922.
Come Into the Open, Senator.

Senator WADswoRTH stands out
clearly and sharply in opposition to
the soldier bonus. His position is
definite, positive.
Where does Senator CALDER stand
on the soldier bonus? 1t is important
to Senator CALDER and important to
the people of New York that his stand
on the bonus be as clear and as posi-
tive as Senator WADswoRTHs.

Senator Borah on the Bonus.

Senator BoRAHs speech on the sol
dier bonus was typical of the Idaho
statesman. He is never an oppor-
tunist, never a slave to party expe-
diency, never a demagogue. He long
has had the reputation Of being the
finest orator in Congress. But what
is far more important is that he
is the boldest and bravest man in
Congress.
Mr.. BoRAH took hold of the bonus
questionable great legislative mis-
take which Congress has seemed on
the brink of making-with bare,
rough hands. He tore hole in its
false front and showed it's real face
When Senator JONES of New Mexico
tried to get BoRAIr to accept the
phrase adjusted compensation" in
stead of bonus" or "gratuity.'
BoRAI wrenched the mask of words
from the sham. Adjusted to what?
To the standard of a stable boys or
charwoman's wages? No, it would be
an insult if offered as compensation;
II must. if anything, be gift.
And il gift, how can the country
afford to give it? How can Gov
ernment already burdened with a
debt of twenty-four billions afford to
so deeper in the hole?
Senator BoRAu struck his most
l.. L. h,.., ,s,I he
matter of the disabled soldiers and
sailors. IL is now costing the United
States half billion dollars year
to care for these men. AS Mr.. BoRAH
said, nobody will complain of this
expenditure so long as the appro-
priations are based on the necessities
and requirements of the disabled vet
Grams. There will be no complaint
If it becomes necessary, as Mr.. BoRAH
predicts, to spend a billion and
half year on these men ten years
from now.
But the care of the disabled SOL
diers and sailors is now costing the
United States as much as the total
expenses of the Government twenty
years ago. This care of men who
were incapacitated in their country's
service cannot be lessened. Even if
the total cost is seventy-five billions
in the next forty or fifty years it
must be paid. There is great moral
obligation Of nation to men who
can no longer help themselves. There
can be no Sinking and no skimp-
ing. BoRAH showed his feeling in
regard TO the helpless veterans when
he declared that the Government is
not doing enough by them, even
when 1t is spending half a billion
q year for their relief.
II we are not doing enough now
for the disabled men, how are we go
ing to do any more when a bonus
law begins TO pour between three and
six billion dollars into the pockets
of men who emerged from the war

penses, which soldier will be the cub

Will il be the recipient Of bonus.
the man with vote?
Or will it be the disabled soldier,
perhaps the insane soldier?
If Congress acts in that day as IT is
acting now IL will be the, disabled
soldier whose care will be cheapened
in order that the bonus man may not
be angered.
The duty OF the unscathed soldier
is as plain as that of any other able
bodied citizen. lie should help his

POST OFFICE RADIO STATIONS
PROVE TO Be MONEY SAVERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. IT (By The
Associated Press) THE use of post
Office radio stations has resulted in
considerable saving to the depart
ment in cutting it's bills for tele-
nouncement. The Post Office De-
partment uses it's fifteen radio sta
tions between New York and San
Francisco to keep in direct touch
with the progress of air mail across
the country and to do this with tele-
grams would be very costly. it was
said. Figures compiled by the Off
Gals of the radio stations show that
the cost per word of radio service
is less than one-eighth of one cent.
1t is absolutely necessary to fol-
low the planes from station to sta
tion to find out how the mails move
and to warn flyers of storm or other
weather conditions. The Washington
station of the department handles
one thousand such messages
month. it was declared. Other sta
tions have even heavier radio traffic.
Besides using the radio to keep in
touch with the mail planes, the de-
out administrative orders. receive
acquisitions for supplies and to get
reports from inspectors on the con-
dition of mail transportation during
the strike, among other routine
business. In addition the post Office
radio stations broadcast weather
predictions and warnings and an
nounce the market reports daily.
