Tramps, All of Them.
Eve, Heine, Byron, ThOreau, Gold
smith Examples OF VagabOndia.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Doubt
having arisen in the minds of some
readers whether my tramp yarns are
the emanations of n real tramp II be-
comes desirable to define tramp. To
this end may be granted indulgence
to lug into your columns some exam
pies of vagabondia.
Tramps may need apologists, but by
no token that l can discover. Tramping
Is the original primitive method of loco

The allegory Of the Garden proves it.

tramps are looked up to- low born and
i'll conditioned tramps are disdained.
One class may not merit the honor and
the other not deserve the blame be-
slowed on it by the thoughtless.
Now Heinrich Heine was tramp.

Goethe. AS he wandered through the
IIarz Mountains, coming the speech he
meant to make to the great German
poet. he plucked plums by the wayside.
When he reached his destination he for

his praise of Saxon plums. The railing.

"Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" is the
journal of an artlstocratic vagabond

PROKoFIEFF's PIANO MUSIC.

Serge Prokofieff gave his second pro-
gram OF music for the piano In Aeolian

Mr.. Prokofieff shows his fine musi-

The most disturbing thing in con-
nection with the proposed bonus loot
Of the Treasury is the duplicity of
Congress. Staggering as it would be
to the country to shoulder an addi-
tional war debt of five billions of
dollars for bonus payments, the debt
in itself would mean far less to the
country than the fact that it had
been sold out and by its own men
for their political gain.

Bori Sings Again as the Snow Maiden
Returns to the Title Part in Rimsky- -Korsakov's
'Snegourotchka' at the Metropolitan.

Miss Lucrezia Bori, happily recovered
from her cold, was able to resume her
part in Rimsky- -Korsakoy's opera. "Sne-
gourotchka." at the Metropolitan last
evening. At the previous performance
of the work she had been unable to
appear. and her place was taken by Miss
Alice Miriam, II is no disparagement
Of this young singer to say that Miss
Boris return was advantageous to the
presentation of the Russian fairy ta'e OF
the little snow maiden. who resembled
the Asrc of Rubinstein in that when
she loved she had to die.
The opera has undoubtedly met with
a considerable measure of favor from
the public. It will never take rank as
lyric drama OF the first order. nor
will its music find permanent hnbita-
tion in the record machines and the re-
producing pianos. But the music is al
ways pleasing and ii contains sufficient
Russian color to give it that well marked
character which has become so popular.
There Is q fair amount of good solo
music as well as the choral numbers,

A Portrait.

On Wednesday morning THE NEW
YORK HERALD asked where Senator
CALDER stands on the bonus question,
reminding him that his colleague.
Senator WADswoRTH. stands out
clearly and sharply in opposition to
the bonus.
The following day, Thursday after
noon, when the Presidents letter OF
that day to Chairman FoRDNEY of the
Ways and Means Committee had been
made public, Senator CALDER came
out in propouncement OF his posi-
tion on the bonus. This was good
of Mr.. CALDER. He held close to the
trail of the President as far as the
President went, and then striking out
ofor himself plunged into the thick OF
the wood and lost himself in the
underbrush.
But there is nothing remarkable
about this. 1t is a way politicians
have of doing when pressed to stand
up in the open and be counted. All
THE New YORK HERALD wanted from
Mr.. CALDER was to have him say 81
am for the bonus" or II am not for
the bonus" This would have called
for no more than six words, and they
would have been ample to give the
picture-iust six little, illuminating
words. An exhibit of this kind OF
rhetoric from Mr.. CALDER would have
given him a character. 1t would
likewise have given his constituents
something to tie to.
But instead of giving his constit'
uents this example of brevity in
style, the very essence of dirertness
and simplicity, Mr.. CALDER being in
a mood for craftsmanship SWING of
into essay. And this was his undoing,
for it was here that he got tangled
up with himself and the thing he
was cropping for.
Like the President, he came out
against the bonus bond issue Like
the President, he came out against
obnoxious bonus taxes. Unlike the
President, he lodged the troublesome
sales tax. This was adroit of the
Senator. And why not, since he is
in fact for the bonus? 1t is true he
said in his statement that he was
opposed to levying special taxes as
indicated in the Ways and Means
Committee program. The program
of the Ways and Means Committee,
be it observed, had to do with the
obnoxious forms of taxation. It
didn't have to do with the sales tax.
One of the reasons that makes 1t
clear Mr.. CALDER is for the bonus is
that he did not say he is against IL.
Another reason that makes it clear
Mr.. CALDER is for the bonus is his
labored suggestions in the interest
of the bonus. One of these is the
substitution of paid up insurance for
all the other proposals now in dis
favor And this insurance plan hav-
ing Mr.. CALDER's favor would mean
chiseling out OF the people the same
old five billions of dollars called for
by all the other schemes. 1t is singu-
lar how all these bonus schemes
merge at this point-five thousand
million dollar point.
Another reason that makes it clear
that Mr.. CALDER is for the bonus is
the length to which the junior Sena-
tor from New York goes when he
expresses the hope that the veterans
themselves will offer some practical
suggestions for jimmying the money
out of the Government. We submit
that this is some ingenuity.

FRIENDS OF MUSIC CONCERT.

In response to many requests the
Friends of Music gave IA repetition yes
terday afternoon at Town Hall of Gus
tav Mahlsr's "Das Lied Won der Erde,"
which as defined by the composer is a
symphony with cont;'alto and tenor
solos. The forces assembled for giving
the imposing work were those heard in
its first performance in this country a.
Carnegie Hall earlier in the month.
Nine. Charles Cahier. contralto. from
Vienna. and Orville Harold. tenor. from
the Metropolitan. sang the vocal parts.
The orchestra and Artur Bodanzky,
conductor, were of the opera.
The hearing of the work renewed the
impression received at its first perform
ance. In true Mahlerian vein there is q
detailed treatment. often with episode
passages of beauty. and yet the whole
work is without the unifying links
formed by creative power. The compo-
sition was admirably performed by so
loists and orchestra. and seemed deeply
to interest the audienoe.

SCREEN DEMANDS
YOUTH, SAYS
HEAD OF STUDIO

A BRAHAM LEHR, in charge Of pro.
"A duction at the Goldwyn studios, in
Culver City, Cal, in talking Of the
production requirements of the day,
stressed the need for youthful players
to interpret youth and romance on the
screen. 1--WE cannot afford to stand
STILL" said Mr.. Lehr, I'VE cannot rely
on actors and actresses because they
have become popular in. youthful roles.
In the ordinary course of events the
passing years leave their mark on these
players just as they do on all the rest of
MS and it becomes necessary to find
others to fill their places.
"a careful study Of the preferences
Of motion picture fans throughout the
country leads to the conclusion that
the great majority want, above all else,
a dominating love motive. Now this
love interest does not always have to
be centered in extremely youthful char
acters; but there is no getting away
from the fact that youth, romance and
love are generally q more attractive
trinity than middle age, romance and
love. This being the case, there is no
ignoring the need for the attributes OF
genuine youth in our acting personnel.
'"The artful actor does wonders in
stimulating characteristics that are not
his own, but after all there Is a mag
netic something about youth-its veryp,
it's sparkle-that can be reflected on the
screen only through the medium ol
