Final Appearance

This Season TO Audience
Packing Metropolitan;
Makes Speech in English

Feodor Chaliapin made his last up
pearance for this season in Boris
Godunow" at the Metropolitan Opera
House yesterday afternoon. AS at
other performances ~ this distin-
guished artist, the house was packed
to the doors and every inch Of stand
ing room occupied. we'll deserved
tribute to his supreme art. Chalia-
pins Boris has been n revelation to
New York opera goers. Not only does
ne possess voice Of surpa ssing beauty,
nobility and richnesa. which he uses
as a master of the art of song. but
the tragic power of his acting is some
thing seldom, if ever. seen on the op-
cratic stage, and can only be compared
with the art Of the greatest tragic
actors Of other days
There were unusual demonstrations
Of enthusiasm throughout the after
noon. which reached climax at the
close OF the performance when the
huge audience seemed unwilling to per
NIT tho artist to leave the stage As
is his custom Chaliapin finally removed
wig and makeup, to the delight Of the
apDlauding throng. In response to
continuous cheering he first addressed
the audience in English as follows:
II am sorry that | do not speak your
language better, but | shall soon have
more experience. thank you from
the bottom Of my heart, not only for
your kindness to me as an artist. but
as Russian, for all the splendid
things that you, the great American
people, have done for my country

lightfully vivid performance, depending
equally on voice, action and costume,
with modes varying from the lugu-
brious to the comic, and her players
modelled their performance on hers

stere music in the Cathedral scene, in

Last summer down in Hancock
County. Maine. a native woman was
overheard complaining about the treat
ment which she had received AZ the
hands Of her sister She ended by say
ing: I'VE amt no more alike than zif
we wasn't US. She's just as different
as ] be t'other way" The remark came
back to mind yesterday while listening
to the pianofortc concerto composed
and played by Ny Serge ProkofeE at a
concert Of the Symphony Society and
seemed to us an apt characterization Of
the music as compared with all other
conoertos. ancient or modern.
1t was different and its composer
obviously and emphatioally intended
that it should be so. We cordially join
HIM in the hope that it will remain
peculiar. If not grand and gloomy, like
Napoleon sitting on his throne
wrapped in the solitude of his own
origina.ity.'
Rattle and Crash of Chords
The only element Of similarity which
we could discover in il was that exist
ing IN the relationship between its
three movements. Though one Of them
was a set Of variations on theme
which had an Oriental cast Of coun-
tenance when it first presented itself.
they all came out of the same mold.
They were not formless, for they all
had mmetry, and even logica mess Of
struc ture. but they were rattle and
crash and bang OF chords whose chief
object seemed to be to avoid every sue
cession or combination Of tones ir
which the ingenious, unsophsti3ated
musical ear might recognize obvious
beauty. II m ght serve to describe its
effect on this reporter to say that while
1t seemed to be correct enough in it's
syntax, its grammar was like that
winch Mark Twain ascrihcd to cats
cats could swear, but it was bad gram
mar which made their talk sound ha-
btually profane
Mr.. Prokohef's skill as a pianist has
repeatedly been exhibited and won the
praise wnlch, in some respects, it de-
serves. The music yesterday permitted
HIM to exhibit only his technical mas
terry Of the instrument, especially his
crisp ana inclslve rhythmical touch.

On the Screen
Second Viewing Of 'sFoolish
Wives" Now Shortened,
Confirms Earlier Approval
By Harriettc Ulnderhill

Like the we'll known bus man who
took his vacation on bus, we went
to the Central Theater yesterday for
a second view of Erich Won Stroheim s
"Foolish Wives" because It was our
birthday and local holiday. Also be
cause we had promised to drop in and
see it in ten reels instead of in four
teen, as it WAS the opening night.
Now. if any one expects Us to say that
we like the picture better in its pocket
edition we shall have to disappont
him: merely because, having found
what we consider the perfect picture,
we are loath to part with any of it..
If Mr.. Lacmmle wishes to give US u
birthday present it can he a print Of
the original picture as it was in 320
reels: but Of course we realize that
il was necessary to have the end come
before the midnight hour had struck.
People in the theater like to call 1t a
day along about II o'clock. and. as
matter OF fact, all of the part that
comes after the death Of the villainous
count failed to intcrcs. us to any great
extent.
That part is now in the discard.
which is decided Improvement. but
we should like the dual scenes in as
they were. Our attitude is much the
same as that of the little girl who cried
bitterly when she viewed the picture
Of the Christian martyrs, because, she
said, the littlest lion wasn't getting
any; and we are afraid that our in
tense interest in this prolonged wait
ing on the part Of tho hero for the
villain to come and shoot him through
the heart in the cold gray dawn was
because we knew that said villain could
do II so easily. For some reason we
do not always espouse the cause of
virtue on the screen as we should
The picture originally possessed sen
suous quality which we found delight
full. 1t still has this to a certain cx-
tent, but we couldn't help feeling yes

From the Shoulder
STRAIGHT!

There's S a reason for this service
talk-an immediate reason.
In order to meet the conditions
attached to a S35o,Oo0 subscrip-
ton Of the General Education
Board, New York University
must raise S8O0,ooo in new
subscriptions before the end o1
March. We are appealing tc
the community which the
University serves to give US
this sum, either in cash or in
Liberty bonds or in subscrip.
tions payable over a term of
two and one-half years.
Every university. like every
large business. comes now and
then to a time when it mus,
cross an obstructing bar before
it can reach clear sailing on the
high seas. 1t is such bar that
we must cross within the next
ten weeks.
This modest increase of endow-
nent will not end the financial
need of the University. We have
here growing institution: it
has present needs in many di-
rections, and besides it is plan
ming far greater things for the
future. But until this sum is
secured we shall be bound in
shadows, though not in mis-
cries.
Our loyal alumni are doing
;:eir part. But it takes a hun
& ed years, according to compe-
tent estimates, to develop a body
Of alumni strong enough to meet
the financial needs of their Uni
versity. New York University
is ninety years old, but its great
growth has been within the
past fifteen years. The most of
our graduates are young A
large proportion of them have
already become contributors to
their alma mater and the num-
Der is increasing daily, but
they need substantial help from
those who can contribute more
largely. They are freely giving
all the time they can spare from
their private business to obtain
ing such help.
But in our experience some of
the largest gifts to the Univer-
sity, as we'll as many smaller
gifts, have come without per-
sonal contact. I t is our hope
that friends-old and new-will
help us without waiting for
personal invitation.
Do you find that we have pre-
sented a good case
II we have, I am sure you will
help us now.
My colleagues have called this
