Russian Quartet
Pleases Large
Audience
Wolf Hall Crowded to Hear Famous
Slngers in Native Folk Songs
Appear in Costume
An Echo of Old Russ;,

Inc third of a series of entertain
ments arranged for the people of tho
town and University was given at
Wolf Hall last Saturday evening.
Inc occasion was the appearance Of
the Russian Cathedral Ouarta++e
Wflch is now on it's first tour in the
United States. The general excellence
OF the music and the appreciative wav
IN winch 1T was sung impressed an
audience which filled the hall. Chairs
placed in the aisles were necessary TO
accommodate the music lovers of tho
community. 1t was by far the most
successful" performance given so far
this season.
The singers appeared on the staoe
IN three different changes of costume
at various times during the perform
ance and thus threw the glamour of
setting into their work. Their rem
dition OF the Russian cathedral music
IN the form of anthems was particu-
larly well received by the audience.
1t Is understood that the quartette
comprises four Of the greatest anthem
and folk song singers in the entire
country.
The organization comprised Nicho-
las Vaslief and Nichola Wasilevsky,
tenors; Alexander Kandiba, baritone,
and Mikhael Bataeff, bass. All of
them have sung in the great churches
OF Petrograd and Moscow and one, M.
kandiba was soloist in the Imperial
Russian Cathedral and winner of a
baritone prize offered by the late

Newark High Loses
To Wilmington In
First Cage Game
Weakened Lineup Plays Hard Game
But Lo.os 35-l0-Chalmers
and M. Hopkina Soine
Eligibility Rules Hurt

! In the first basketball game of the
current season, Coach Wilson's New
ark High School Club ran across a
stumbling block, or rather five of
them, when they struck Wilmington
High School yesterday afternoon.
The game was in the main a very
colorless exhibition of the cage game,
with both teams showing lack of
teamwork and practice.
AZ, That the job of coach is anything
but a path of roses is shown by the
succession of discouraging develop
ments which have occurred. Chief
among these was the fact that the
regular outfit did not make the trip
to Wilmington. A ruling of the local
Board of Education holds that a foot
ball man must be well up in at least
four subjects before tackling another
sport. The ruling had its effect last
year in causing the disbandment OF
the squad. This year, while not so
destructive, the rule has caused the
loss of two or three men who were de-
pended upon by Coach Wilson to help
bear the burden of the season. Thus
Newark faced Wilmington with an
irregular lineup. However, the team
put up mighty battle before admit
ting defeat. Wilmington has very
well balanced team, the work of Capt.
Lichenstein featuring the struggle
yesterday. M. Hopkins managed to
ring in two field goals and Chalmers
played bang up floor game. c. Hop

The Toy Revues accomplish very

are staged, as a rule, on upper floors.
But their engaging gayety manages
to reach the heart OF almost every one
who looks forward to Christmas.
The Revues themselves are staged
in settings as various as the minds
OF the men who planned them. Some
backgrounds are OF myriads OF little
Christmas trees dripping tinsel, trees
that stand among festoons OF holly.
Others have scenes laid in toy streets
lined with frescoes that feature old
favorites like the owl and the pussy

fashion with the little pig who went

quickly as possible. Both letters were
handed to the priests for delivery.
Thus the Patriarch resigned neither
his office nor his power" say the high
er hierarchs Of the Russian church.
On the day after an official notice
announced to all Russians that the
supreme head Of their church had
temporarily abdicated. all the Govern
ment newspapers published an appeal
ito tho faithful sons Of the Orthodox
Church Of Russia" signed by Bishop
Antonine, representative of the pro-

Petrograd;. M. Stradnik. preceptor;
s. Kalinpvsky, E. Borisov and v.
Bykov OF Moscow. and Rusanov and
Ledovsky of Saratov.
"The heads OF the priesthood have
taken the side of the peoples enemies"
wrote the Bolshevik priests, "and the
result has been that counter-revolu-
tionary movements are continually
breaking out inside the church. The

tations occurred when the church
treasures were converted into bread

when there should have been joyful

people tried to bring about the over

Patriarch Tikhon became the stand
ard around which the counter-revolu-

The signatories declared they con-

"the Initiative Group"
On May IS Father vedensky and

went in Government motor with the
Patriarch's letter and the text of the
above appeal to the Metropolitan
Agafangel. Yaroslav. But they wanted
him first to obligate himself to be
guided by the Government through
them. Agafapgel demanded freedom
of action ard refused to sign any such
document. He gave the priests only a
letter for the Patriarch in which he
said that he accepted the charge. and
would leave for Moscow as early as
possible.
But he was unable to do so. Count
ing on Agafangers advanced age, the
Government had thoughtlessly con-
sented to his appointment az Acting
Patriarch. It hoped to ind in him an
obedient tool who would cover by his
ecclesiastical authority all that was
done under the dictation Of the civil
power by Antonine and his associates.
But the Metropolitan retained more
obstinacy than the Government had
supposed. and It was then decided not
to permit him to leave Yaroslav. The
following night a search was made In
his house by the secret police but no
evidence against him was discovered.
Nevertheless Agafangel was compelled
to state in writing he would not leave
Yaroslav and the Patriarch's letter
notifying him OF his appointment was
taken from him.
