Miss Roberts Gives
Pleasing Program
At Song Recital
Mezzo-Contralto. With Voice
of Great Beauty, Offers
Several Novelties Among
Conventional Numbers

Miss Emma Roberts, mezzo contralto,
who has not sung here for some time,
gave recital at Town Hall last eve
ming. Not only has she voice Of
great beauty, warmth and richness, but
she has mastered the art of song with
thoroughness given to few American
singers.
Miss Roberts may invariably be de-
pended upon for an interesting pro
gram, and last evening proved no ex-
ception to the rule. Two of her songs
were Russian: Sachnovski's "The
Clock" and Ragnieda's song from
Sierov's opera "Ragneda" The first,
which Miss Roberts has sung here be-
fore, was the more interesting, q
dramatic picture of man, beseeching
respite from ineXorablc Time and ap-
preaching Death. Miss Roberts braveiy
sang both in Russian. Another unusual
the Mad Hatter's adventures with his
watch, intended as parody of Gounod's s
style-~a bit Of genuine musical humor
untainted by the grotesqueric affected
by this composer. Then there were a
Mexican song, and an old Castilian
folksong, with other more conventional
numbers by Brahams, Weingartncr,
Wagner and Tschaikowsky.
Miss Roberts's skill and intelligence,
both technical and interprctative, in
the performance of this varied program
gave much pleasure to large and
Justly appreciative audience.
Another event of the evening was

the high office of Chief Justice and
the district courts. The action of the
anti-saloon interests in favorng this
bill simply forecasts that they will at
tempt to influence the Chief Justice to
assign judges selected by them solely
for the purpose of trying prohibition
cascsl and without regard to the inter-
ests of other litigants of greater i'm
portance pending in the courts.
Sees Pressure on Chief Justice
'Tf this bill becomes law the Chief
Justice may be assailed with applica-
tions from all sorts of interests and
tion Of judges. The Anti-S Saloon League
and the whisky interests may contend
before him. The coal operators may
ask for Judges in West Virginia to try
the striking miners for treason. and
the miners will want judge who viii
discharge them. Capital may ask for
judges favoring its views upon public
questions and the various interests of
the masses may also clamor for repre-
sentation upon the bench.

successor in that high office the Presi-

Verdi's LA Forza del Destino," which

WASHINGTON. March 3i.--A charge
that the Anti-Saloon League, through
"its paid lobbyists" is attempting to
influence Senator'S to vote for the
judges bill pending efore the Senst te
was made on the floor to-day by Sen
stor Shields, of Ter aessee.
Senator Shields declared the Anti
Saloon League was especially seeking
to have Senators vote for the provi
sions of the bill which give the Chief
Justice Of the Supreme Court the power
10 assign judges in his discretion and
thus to try certain cases pending in
those courts. The inference was that
in this way the league sought to have
judges Of its liking try cases involving
the liquor laws.
The Tennessee Senator, who is con-
sidered one of the foremost lawyers
on the Democratic side, a member of
the Judiciary Committee, and for years
Chief Justice Of the highest court Of
his state, assailed Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel and legislative agent
for the Anti-Saloon League. and called
him a lobbyist Senator Cummins, in
charge of the bill admitted Wheeler
had talked to him, but said he had sim
ply referred to the congestion of liquor
eases in the courts and had said moth
ing improper.
Shields Criticzcs Motives
"There are now, before this bill has
become law. selfish interests that are
contriving and conspirlng to take ad-
vantage OF it to control the courts and
judicial decisions by securing the
designation of judges in sympathy
with them and who have fixed convic-
tions upon the law and the facts, to Try
their cases" said Senator Shields. Il
am reliably informed that the Anti
Saloon League, through its paid lobby
lists, is attempting 10 influence Sen
ators to vote for the provisions of this
bill giving the Chief Justice the power
to assign judges in his discretion to
courts and. of course, to try certain
cases pending in those courts. This
interest has not hcsitated to advocate
laws violating the constitutional guar
antics Of the rights of personal lib
erty and private property, and NOW
they propose to invade the sacred pre-
cincts of the courts and polute the ad-
judges upon the bench who have at
least to some extent prejudged the
cases they are to try.
This only illustrates the horrible
consequences of vesting this new and
great power over the trial courts in
the Chief Justice OF the United States

METROPOLITAN.
Charles Ray md Larry Semon.

That it is the judicious thing for
the astute Snowman to cater to the
great American sense of humor was
demonstrated at Crandalrs Metro
politan Theater yesterday. when
capacity crowds expressed unbound-
ed enthusiasm over a bill in which
Charles Ray and Larry Semon run
eck-and-neck in garnering the
nimble laugh. Ray has not in many
months appeared in a picture so
cleverly contrived dramatically, so
full OF genuine humor or so true to
human nature as alias julius Cae-
sar." Semon unbundles a new bag
of tricks in Golf. The refreshing
quality that characterizes the pro-
gram for the week is amplified by
unusually interesting news and
and topical features and the mos:
delightful orchestral contributions
of the year, the whole set off by
gorgeous new proscenium draperies
or gold baronet satin trimmed with
dark blue and huge blue tassels..
In alias Julius Caesar" Ray de-
parts from the rustic type and re-
veals himself as a light comedian
of polish and very much wider re-
sourcefulness than in his earlier
vehicles. Eddie Gribbon is a much
more capable foil than Ray has ever
before had cast in his support with
the possible exception of Harry
Myers in "R. S. V. P" Gribbon
proves his right to better things
than slapstick comedy affords. Bar

GAYETY.
"Frank Finncy.s ReNue.r

Frank Finney's Revue" featur-
ing Finney himself, opened its en-
gagement at the -Gayety yesterday,
to show during the entire week.
Ffnney has surrounded himself
with lively group of principals and
a fair chorus and, incidentally, a
burlesque show with a plot. Seldom
has a burlesque attraction any plot
whatever. The plot in this case, CT
course, is a very light one and serves
to permit Finney and his assistants
to provoke laughter galore.
Finney continues in his time worn
Irish character. but he is just as
funny with it as ever. Ed Jordan.
in blackface, serves as Finney>s
right-hand man in the comedy line.
Mary Mcpherson, the spry soubrette.
is an outstanding feature of the
revue. She has a fine voice and aids
the comedians in making their
comedy numbers just what they
should be. Belle Mallette, Nell Ver-
non, Iona Thurston, Ellie Burley end
Helen Miller are the feminine mem
bers of the revue. while Eugene
Rauth, Walter Austin, Frank Gaines
and Billy Harris play a varied as
sortment of roles.
The song and dance members of
Finneys current revue are really the
brightest things of the show. Fin
ney, however, is still able to make
his auditors laugh, and the show will
undoubtedly be remembered as q
good burlesque attraction.

STRAND.
Vaudeville.

A bill that would be knockout
any time in the year and therefore
registers heavily when presented
this early in the season, is offered
at the Strand this week. With a
headline act, Bud Helm and the
Lockwood Sisters, and an extra
added attraction, Arthur Jarrett and
Company. that constitute two of the
strongest attractions seen at the
Strand in a long time.
Bud Helm and the Sisters present

trio stopped the show" Bud alone
with his clever topical songs, COM

girls. the act won continuous ap-
plause from opening to closing

Arthur Jarrett and Company in
"Cupids ClOsc-Ups," present a
splendid onc-aCt comedy unique in
conception and enacted in such a
manner that every line is appre-
ciatcd and enjoyed to the full. Ed

Ali-star Cast I'm 81 Accuse,

erful photodramatic indictments OF
envy, jealousy, hatred and duplicity
ever brought to the screen, is the
foremost feature of the bill ar
ranged for the first three days OF
the current. week at Crandalrs The
ater. Three major characters are
used to point the story unfolded on
the silver sheet-a man, his wife
and the friend of the family. This
familiar domestic triangle, how
ever, Is put to new uses in this
subject. The war breaks out and
the men both rally to the colors.
While they are on the firing line,
the wife is shipped back Of the en-
emy lines. After many months of
torture she returns to her home In
France, the mother of a small baby.
Husband and friend both vow ven-
geance on the Boche, but the hus-
band this time is killed and the
friend returns hopelessly manned
and his mind affected.
The three outstanding roles are
played with masterfuI effect by

OF French artists unknown to

Harry Hines. Libby and Sparrow

there are some very fine moments of

The show. however, is still in tho
making, and it may be two or thres
weeks yet before it settles down
to final form. The Shubert unit
type of show has to be built very
much as a revue does.
Jimmy Hussey is the star of the
bill. Hussey is in class by him
self as a Jewish comedian and he
has a good assortment of new stuff
to present. including song that is
becoming the rage in New York,
Far. Far Away on the Sunny Sands
Of Far Rockaway." Hussey has

Viola Dana, the dainty star, was
presented at Loew's Palace yes
terday for the full week, her latest
starring production. The IS Baby"
a perturbation of the Saturday
Evening Post story by Irwin S.
Cobb.
"The IS Baby" was adapted by
Rex Taylor and directed by Harry
Beaumont, who brought to Miss
Dana's support a highly talented
cast that includes Ralph Lewis,
Otto Hoffman, John Harron, Tom
Mcclure, Arthur Rankin, Marjorie
Maurice, E. Pasque and others. The
story is one of an exceptionally
high comedy vein in which the
prankish Viola Dana romps through
scene after scene with the most
hilarious effect on the spectator.
The story tells of an abandoned
infant who is pawned for IS by a
hobo who finds her on a doorstep.

Garrickers Offer
"CLnence," Their
Final Production

The Garrick Players have another
success to their credit In their pre-
sentation of Booth Tarkington's
Clarence" at the Garrick Theater
last night.
Harrington has made Clarence the
important factor of the play. Around
him winds tales Of love, jealousy
and family quarrels that right
themselves in the end. Out of the
army, out of a job and suffering
liver trouble, Clarence seeks en-
ployment from a Mr.. Wheeler. At
first Wheeler is inclined to refuse
employment to the unfortunate man
but when he realizes the former
soldier has accidentally become the
possessor of family secrets he de-
cides to send him to his country
home as a secretary. Wheeler's
wife. daughter, the governess and
maid soon fall under Clarence's un-
intended spell of fascination, which
eventually ends in his marriage to
the governess.
While Clarence is the important
factor of this Harrington writing.
1t remains for Percy Helton and
Ruth Hoffman. as Bobby and Cora
Wheeler. to provide the bright mo-
ments with their truc-to-life brother
and sister quarrels. Their success
in the current attraction is fully
equal to that attained by their
showings in Seventeen"
Granville Palmer has been allot-
ted the role of Clarence and he
gives good Interpretation OF the
character. Duncan Penwarden and
Gertrude Dustin. as the Wheelers;
Martha McGraw. as Cora Wheeler's
governess; Constance Brown as
Wheeler's secretary; Edwin Trus-
helm and Hubert Stem, a widower
and wooer OF the governess, and
Henry Trader and Gertrude Au-
garde as the servants portry their
parts fully up to the Harrington
sta ndard.
There is nothing moro refreshing
than the plays of American young
people that have come from the pen
of Booth Harrington. Harrington has
furnished the book. the Garrickers
provide the play and Washingtonians
most likely will supply the patron
age.
