Symphony Society
GipeS an Unusual
Concert Program
Beethoven's 'Eroica' and Scene
From Wagner's 'Siegfried'
Presented,
ny w. j. HENDERSON.

The orchestra activities OF yesterday.
which were lot light. began with the
concert of the Symphony Society in Car
negie Hall in the afternoon. Conductor
Walter Damrosch had prepared a pro-
gram OF unusual character. IT COM
prised the ''Eroica" symphony of Beetho-
ven and the second scene of the third
net OF Wagner's "Sie gfried." given, 81
course. in concert form. The singers
were Nine. Elsa Stralia. soprano. and
Richard Crooks, tenor.
To descant on a performance OF the
f Nat symphony is inessential But
word or two can. and indeed must, he
said about the "Slegfried' excerpt. Mr.
Damrosch has always enjoyed present
ing Wagnerian drama in tabloid form.
He easily evades censure for ignoring
the theories of the great master because
to a hungry public half loaf is better
than no bread
The delivery OF the scene heard yes
terday was far from ideal. Not only
was IL enfeebled by the presence of a
Sie0fried in cutaway coat and
Brunnehitde in an afternoon frock, stand
ing like statues on either side of a con-
ductor's desk and conversing openly
with the audience instead of one another,

lists were a. no moment able to lift their
utterances to the level attained by the
orchestra.
Nine. Stralia brought to- her task
sufficient volume and a suitable quality
of voice, but she was not highly success
full in publishing the emotions of the
awakened goddess or the wakening
woman. Mr.. Crooks showed intelligence
and made his text clear but he was not
of the tenor type needed for realization
OF the "highest hero OF worlds y
This is perhaps not the most appro-
pirate time for celebrating the return of
Wagner's immortal drama OF the juuen-
tlis rundi and love Unsuitable. That OPP
portunity will be afforded later in the
winter But doubtless some or those
who listened intently yesterday after
noon TO the magnificent fragment or
mutilated drama could not avoid the
thought that even when shorn OF It's
scenic and histrionic values this piece of
art remained something immense, su-
preme, irresistible. Thus, indeed, spake
the antique gods and demi-gods.
The customary exodus of auditors be-
fore the close of an entertainment did
not take place. A few scattered de-
partures were observed, but practically
the whole assembly remained till the last
grandiose tones were sounded and then
rose in the seats with vigorous applause
and cries of bravo" The enthusiasm
was surely for Wagners genius. He is
still the greatest composer or musicai
dramas.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland
recently held the Soldiers Bonus act,
passed by the last Maryland Legisla-
ture with a referendum provision, un-
constitutional and void. "The Courts
action, says the Chestertown (Md.)
Kent News, will prevent the placing
upon the ballot this fall of a PROPOSE
ton for a S9,OOO,OOO State bond issue,
proceeds of which would be paid in
various forms to former service men.
The decision, prepared by Judge T.
Scott Offutt, turns entirely upon the
point that the Legislature is without
authority to pass a general law carry
ing a referendum to the electorate of
the State. 1t was deemed by the
Court unnecessary to pass upon other
constitutional questions raised.
"Action upon which the decision
was rendered was a mandamus suit
brought by Harry o. Brawner, of Bal
timore, against the Board of Super
I visors of Elections of Baltimore city,
to prevent the board from placing the
question upon the ballots. This is a
great disappointment to many friends
of the service men.

bonus bill on the ballot, pointed out,
would be a petition with 10000 sigma

Some seemed to thing that the Legion
would not take this step unless it
