New-York tribune., 1922-03-26
By Katharine Wright

Only . matter Of grave Importance
induces Sergei RachmaninoY to permit
his privacy to be invaded by inter
viewers. The great Russian does not
court publicity. Instead he allows
music to speak for him, his music and
his consummate art as a pianist So
we were delighted with the prospect
Of a rare pleasure when Joseph Robie
the urbane press representative Of the
New York Symphony Society, said to
US as We gloomily escaped from one of
last weeks commonplace recitals by a
singer or pianist whose name and
accomplishments have happily passed
from memory:
"Mr. RachmaninoH would like to see
you. and you know he never see,
people from the papers
We were delighted, but also trife
perturbed. We admit the charge of
being a hero worshiper. In the pres
ence Of greatness the most carefully
planned questions vanish from our
consciousness. Instead we are annoy
ingly aware Of weak knees, faltering
tongue and vivid remembrance of an
admonition often heard in far distant
days of ething about
being seen and not heard.
We had interviewed Rachmaninoff
before, soon after his arrival in
America three years ago. He was
then worn and sad, fresh from TRACE
dies lived through in his country, from
which he had fed with Nine Rach-
mammoth and two little daughters. He
spoke bitterly and with scorn of Boil
shevik Russia, where, he said, it was
as much crime to be educated as it
berness of his mood was invincible
Nothing reused him, not even a passing
reference to the enthusiasm of the
evening before, when he had been rec
oBHiAeu anu acclaimed III concert naIl
after a performance Of his Second
Symphony. At that time it was almost
impossible to reconcile the emotion
alism Of his music-the emotionalism
which is the keynote of the Russian
nature-with the composers over
whelming austerity.
Three years in America, however,
have cheered Rachmaninoff. Here he
has found comfort and peace of mind
and appreciation. But he does not for
get Russia, and 1t is in the cause Of
Russia that he has turned to the press.
- We found him in his beautiful home
On Riverside Drive, at the piano, with
his younger daughter, Miss Tania, an
interested and devoted listener. The
little girl had been asked to stay in
the room to act as interpreter. She
fed when it was decided to carry on
the conversation in French. However,
although Rachmaninof preferred to
rely upon Miss Tania's conversational
powers rather than upon his own, it
Is no secret that he speaks, reads and
writes English.
Sitting down at his desk, he took out

FRANCOIS Calais, playwright, is
married to Sylvette (Renouardt) .
Francois and Sylvctte have an apart
ment with n balcony. 1T is quite
natural, therefore, that Francois leans
over his balcony. On the next balcony
he sees Aim, (Mle. Markcn), tho small
blond person aforementioned Now
Francois, one Of those men Of that
peculiar malcup who never see good
I! looking, petite blonde without falling in
love-matrimony elsewhere notwith-
standing. Aline hrts so extremely,
anyway, that Francois lets no barrier
intervene, and he steps, or rather
climbs, from his balcony to hers.
Hero enters Simeon, Aline's gentleman
friend, who had been absent Alne
had not taken Francois seriously and
had eft tho apartment on a shopping
trip.
The second act takes place in Alne's
apartment. 1t had been all right with
Simeon-a stupid fcllow--if Francois
rolled around he had become we'll ac-
quainted with Alinc, as we'll as Simeon.
and was spending most of his time
there. In the mean time, Sylvette-
over home next door, or rather next
balcony-had boen suspecting the
truth. Knowing the idiosyncrasies of
her mercurial spouse and intuitively
feeling that the Little Blond DEVILS"
attraction for him was only temporary,
she began to play her subtle hand.
Instead Of objectlng to his over-thc-
balcony advances she facilitated them
in the hope that he would tire of the
blond person sooner. Alinc, however,
would consent to flee with Francois
only in the event that Simeon was
untrue to her. Now, being stupid
fellow, Simeon led an exemplary life.
Az length, however, Sylvctte sensed
the situation and wrote a letter to
Aline denouncing this simple Simeon.
Aline believed the letter and fled with
Francois.
A New Play BY
Henri Bataille
AS most all birds and lepidoptera
ccme home to roost, Francois returned
to Sylvette a couple of days later
perfect Monsieur Butterfly. Whereupon,
II the curtain had not fallen just at
that time, 1t would have been perfectly
obvious that the Little Blond Devil"
returned to her Simple Simeon much
ehastened and disillusioned Little Devil.
LA Chair Humane" (Human
Flesh"), by Henry Bataille, the noted
French playwright and novelist, play
ing at the Vaudeville Theatre, is an
example Of the war play that attracts
Parislans. The title is misleading. It
smacks of the Grand Guignol or a
chamber Of horrors. 1t should be "Sins
Of the Fathers" or something like that.
Twenty years before the Germans
tore up Belgium's "scrap of paper"
Jeane Lavasseur, young bourgeois,
falls in love with Jeanne Boulard, q
little Partisan seamstress. 1t was an
attic love, and a man-child came to the
attic to make life miserable for Lavas-
seur. He leaves and later makes a
rich marriage, remembering Jeanne
only by small financial allowance.
She Is broken hearted, but decides
to devote her life to their boy. Twenty

years ater--the European war. La
vasseur has become immensely wealthy
from industries which he turns into
munition factories. He now has n
legitimate son in uniform, but who,
with his fathers influence, is spared
from the front.
One day Jeanne, a prematurely aged
seamstress, appears at the munitioner's g
palatial home to say that the natural
son has been killed at the front. La
vasscur is greatly touched-his wife,
ignorant Of details, feels a great pity
for the sad, bereft mother. Lavasseur
tells his legitimate son, Pierre, Of his
former life, and Pierre, greatly
wrought up, joins front line regi-
ment. The war over, Jeanne's son re-
turns, having been prisoner. He en-
tered the army a weak and Submissive
lad, but comes out with a Bolshevik
spirit which Hugh Wiley's "Wildcat"
might describe as "Get yoah meat"
France owes him a living, and good
one, for what he has suffered, he tells
the world, including, incidentally, M.
Lavasseur. The latter promises to keep
both Jeanne and the boy in his own
home. But here Nine. Lavasseur OBJ
Jects, and there are strong words be-
tween the two women. Jeanne and her
son eventually decide to abandon radi-
cal tactics, take their monthly due and
live quietly away from the Lavasseur
household.
A Humorist Writes
A Melod rama
The French public have accepted
Henri Bataille's latest work with an
cnigmatic enthusiasm which the ma
jority Of French critics fail to under
stand. The latter desire that NJ. Bat
allie should have put a little more
pep" into Jeanne's young, radical SOL
dier son. A French economist might
say that even French theater audi
ences sympathize with the wisdom Of
accepting safe and steady income as
against radicalsm. Perhaps that is the
moral that Bataille tries to point out.

playwright, has broken forth again with

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, September 1e-The wheat
market was fiat and colorless today

Corn and oats averaged a trifle
