ssTolI of the Sea- ut Rialso fs
Perfect Color Picture;
s'East Is West Filmed
By Harriette Underhill

It was just our luck to have 60 go
to sec "The Toll Of the Sea" at the
Rialto Theaters and now we are afraid
that it has spoiled us for all other
pictures of similar nature, 1t Is so
beautiful!
In color and in production it Is one
of the loveliest, daintiest pieces of art
work that you could find. 1t seems to
be just little bit of life lifted out
of the Orient, framed and sent here to
delight tho eye and sadden the heart.
We had not dreamed that the old,
old sto-y Of Nine. Butterfly could ever
again wiring tears from us, but this
story called "The Toll OF the Sea" did
just that yesterday.
We are one of those persons who
cannot enjoy picture If the people
around us rustic their programs or eat
lemon drops or fuss with their furs,
SO when we found ourself wedged in
between a fat man who was SO expert
at chewing gum that he made it crack
loudly each time he set his jaws in it
and two girls who combed their hair
and LAUGHED all the time we felt that
"The Toll Of the Sea- was not going
to get fair chance. And then at the
end Of 1t, after poor little Lotus Flower
had been swallowed up by the cruel
sea whieh had once given her her lover,
we turned around to see where our
tormentors had gone to, and there they
were still chewing and laughing. Where
is there another picture that could
maize us oblivious to such surround
ings?
The people who have made this new
colored picture have done something SO
beautiful that it is rather awe inspiring
end criticizing it is like dissecting a
butterfly. Never have we seen such
perfect color as this, and while it
seems almost like vandalism to tear it
apart and say: 'It was made by the
Technicolor process which consists Of"
etc, of course 1t Is necessary to give
credit when credit is due.
Ii this process ia not perfect then,
at least we could find no flaws In it.
None Of the faults OF other co'or proc
esses are apparent. The tones are
soft and lovely; there are no fringes
nor flashes; the outline Is clear and
there are no deep shadows. Also, OBJ
jects appear to possess another dimen-
sion, and it seems as though you could
reach ont and take the hand of little
Lotus Flower
That Oriental beauty, Anna May
Wong, is the Chinese bride who loses
her most honorable husband. Never
before have we seen either Anna May

Concert Program
of Philharmonic
Scipione Guidi, as SoIoist,
Admirably Renders Bruch
Fantasy; Brahms Sym
phony Is Well Received

It is far cry from the serene medi-
tations of Brahms to the dance Of
Salome in the Strauss opera Of that
name, That was the distance Travelled
by the Philharmonic at it's concert
yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall,
with Jiszt and BTuch marking the
miiestones.
Scipione Guidi, concert master of
the orchestra, was the soloist OF the
afternoon, and gave an admirable per-
formance of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy.
Mr.. Guidi Ia always something more
than routine in the brief passages that
occasionally fall TO him alone In the
various orchestral works which the So
ciety performs, and as the vio)inist Of
the New York Trio he has often won
praise for the excellence of his cham
Der music playing. In the more p,o
tentious offering yesterday he at
quilted himself exceedingly well, play
ing with excellent tone and style md
with poetic feeling that avoided the
excess of sentiment so easily read into
Bruch'a composition. He was heartily
applauded and won n chorus of
"bravas" from his associates in the
orchestra.
The first section OF the program was
devoted 70 the Second Symphony of
Brahms, which thus had the advantage
OF players rested and refreshed
Whether for that reason or not, it was
played with the most caressing warmth
Of tone. Mr.. Stransky conducted it
and the large audience listened to it as

Liszt's Symphonic Poem, "Tasso, La
ment and Triumph" followed, and con-
trast and balance were further given
the program by the music of Salome's
dance before Horod, which brought 1t
to close.
