she appeared as many times more
with Mr.. Chamlee, then yielded to
what was the obvious popular desire
and appeared before tho footlghts
alone, Again and again she came out,
made a low courtesy, bowed gravelY,
smiled her gratitude and retired.
Finally, since it seemed as if there
was to be no end to the popular

Overture by Diefenbrock
Other Novelties Heard

ne Philharmonic Orches ira forsook
the stately measures Of classic sym
pbonles last evening and experienced
the singular adventure of tangoing
and foXtrotting at the bidding of Mr..
MeneelberP and II. d. ,an Goudoever,
young Dutch composer and cellst
who devoted two movements OF suite
for cello and orchestra to these popu-
lar dances. The suite was ore of three
works BY Dutch composers to which
Mr. Mcagelberg gave their first hear
ing in America. Unlike NJ. MonteuX,
he has not taken advantage of his po-
sition to delurc his audiences with the
music Of his countrymen, and the in
terest in these novelties was therefore
all the keener.
The most important Of the three was
d Gothic chaconne by Cornelius Dop-
per, now assistant conductor of the
Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amster-
dam. who studied at the Leipsic Con-
serYatory and in 1905 toured America
a. one Of the conductors of Henry W.
Sayage's English production Of Ma
dame Buttcray.'
Chaconnc Ponderous at Times
The Chaconne is solidly built. at
times even oppressively ponderous. 1t
departs from customary form in that
the recurring theme is not confined
to the bass but appears in different
portions Of the tonal structure. This
theme has a dignity and breadth in
keeping with the ti.le o. the Chaconne,
but it undergoes many changes Of
mood. Some of the variations are
curlously Oriental in character The
composer is passionately addicted to
the use of percussion Instruments.
The tam-tam acts as period for
the ending Of almost every variation
in the first half of the work, and, not
content with the usual tactics employed
in the manipulation Of the bass drum,
Mr.. Dopper prescribed that the unfor-
tunate instrument should be soundly
thrashed with a switch. The continual
use of these instruments made for
monotony, not effectiveness, and the
length Of the work was another objec-
tionable feature.
Amiaole Overture Played
The second number, an overture to
The Birds of Aristophanes, by Al
phonse Diepenbrock, considered in Hol-
land as one of the founders of the
modern Dutch school of composers,
was nothing more than amiabe music,
ingeniously scored to represent the
feathered beings Of the Greek comedy.
No doubt students of ornithology pres
ent in the audience recognized famil-
lar calls and cries. At least one night

Mr.. Van Goudoever's suite was

A NOVEL NEW FILAMENT RHEO-
STAT.

When the soft" vacuum tubes are
used for radio detectors a very close
regulation of filament current is usu-
ally required. Ordinary rheostats,
unless equipped with vernier control.
often do not give fine enough current
control. This Is because there is a
decided change in resistance when the
CONTRACTOR moves from one turn OF
resistance wire to the next. The
changes of current are in jumps.
The rheostat Illustrated has the
novel feature of giving the smoothest
possible control with the greatest
ease. 1t Is known as a compression
type rheostat. A column of specially
treated graphite disks. assembled in a
porcelain container. forms the resist
ance element. The resistance OF the
graphite disks varies with the pres
sure applied by an adjusting knob and
pressure screw. The resistance de-
ponds only upon the pressure applied
to the column of disks. and since the
pressure can be regulated to any de-
sired degree the flament current can
be adjusted to the smallest traction
without any disturbing noises in the
head telephones. There is no sudden
current change nor any point just
little too high or too low. The rheo-
stat gives its own vernier adjustment.
The graphite disks are assembled in
two small columns in the porcelain,
