The Salons of America blossomed into
being last evening at the Anderson Cal

which will continue until November 4.
Admission will be free on Mondays, on
other days an admission of twenty-five
cents will be charged.

MISS SLOWER GIVES RECITAL.
Ohio Singer Makes Local Debut at
AeOIian Hall.

Miss Helen Slower, soprano, gave her
debut recital in New York last evening
at Aeolian Hall. This young singer is
from Ohio and was awarded gold medal
at the Cincinnati College Of Music. She
has sung with several leading orchestras
of the country and she has appeared
here at a Hippodrome concert with the
Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra.
She presented progam of variety and
interest. The numbers included Lullys
"Bois Epais." German lieder, modern
French lyrics and Walter Kramers In
vocation" which was new.
Miss Stover was much liked. She is
handsome and has a commanding stage
presence. Her singing was of uneven
merit. Her voice Is beautiful one of
mezzo quality and with power. but II is
not always well produced. A throaty
tendency frequently marred her tonai
purity and there was often coolness
where color was needed. She showed
knowledge of Interpretation and she
sang with a delightful ease Of manner.
Her diction and style are not yet poll
ished. She is a singer OF gifts and ought
TO have future.
Walter Golde furnished excellent piano
accompaniments.

By Alexander Woollcott

heavy fsted acts. which have been put
together with little less than the de
cent minimum of theatrical skill.
For the sophisticated playgoer the
opportunities for entertainment are
narrowed down 70 the rather amusing
game Of guessing which lines were
licked and pasted on to the play by
Mr.. Lardner. There is, for instance,
that moment when the prize fighter is
rehearsing for a Spanish dance which
he and the sprig's sister are to do at
the dance Ca sumptuous soiree, by the
way, where there is punch bowl and
an orchestra but no guests 'If I'm
dancer" says he with deep conviction,
then Peggy Hopkins takes in wash
ing" That sounds rather like Lardner
And then there is one delightful in
spiration when the ofiicious friend of
the family in distress is taking hei
reluctant and sympathetic leave. God
be with you all. I've got to CO." That
is what is known in the quaint patois
of the Rialto as a nifty.
But these oases are infrequent. The
best known and generally most SER
viceable member of the cast is Hale
Hamilton, who appears TO have been
dieting. Next to William Courtenay
he has the most mellifluous and clabo-
rately modulated voice on the Ameri-
can stage, but he plays the hero of
swiftly" with considerable relish. Not
all the rest of the cast has been 30
happily chosen, and the young n,an
who embodies the aforesaid sprig is
what is usually and mercifully de-
scribed as inadequate.

But 1 struck one chord OF music
Like the sound of the great ameH-

Like the close Of an angels psalm,
And it lay on my feverec spirit
With a touch Of infinite calm
It quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
II seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
Il linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace.
And trenlbled away into silence
As il it were 10th TO cease
