THE coSEENIENT FUEL


Natural gas production decreases
rapidly in all toosmany sections,
but the American housewife who
has known its blessings declines to
return tosthes use Of woedssor coal
in the kitchen range. Production,
OF manufactured gas, checked now
and again by the abundance of the
natural fuel, IS setting new records
with every month.
Per capita consumption OF arti-s
fetal gas has increased 80 per cent
in the last ten years and three
feurths Of it goes for lighting or
sther domestic purposes. Despite
the advantages of the electric eur
rent, near.y 19 per cent of the to-
tai is used for Illumination. bat it
is the, kitchen that is the really
aominant facser in the change:
Convenience is what counts, and
the coal scuttle and wood box, to-
gether with their dust and ashes,
are on their way It may be that
men work harder nowadays than.
did their fathers. although this may.
be questioned: It can hardly be
doubted that succeeding genera
hons Of womenfolk dnd household
duties simplifed with every year.

DIsFaANcI11sED CITIZENS

No doubt it matters little. in di-
rect results, whether or not
Woodrow Wilson has a vote. His
vote would hardly decide an cleo
|tion in New Jersey or Washing
ton, D. c. Yet has disfranchise-
ment gives unusual emphasis.to an
injustice and absurdity OF long
standing which affects hundreds Of
thousands OF. American citizens.
Having removed his residence
from his state, Mr.. Wilson cannot
vote there. And having establish
ed his residence in the District OF
Columbia, he does net acquire. a
right to vote there. Residents of
the District-which means, for
practical purposes, the national
lcapital-cannot vote. They have no
voice in either local or national
government
5 1t is hard to understand why
Congress has so long allowed this
anomalous situation to continue.
Surely that problem is not beyond
the power OF the human inte1-
lect. This is supposed to be a re-
public. The people who live in
Washington would like to see their
home city made part of the
United States in practice as it is in
theory, and 50 would the rest of the
country. ..

also the songs by Brahms, Roger and
Nicolai Won Struve; but the singer was
more successful In overcoming vocal
limitations in her French numbers and
the closing group in English. with new
songs by Otto Wick and Marion Bauer.
Here strength in high notes Offset
weakness in lower ones, with gem
orally fair quality of tone, while
Pizetti's sinister al Clefta Prigione"
and the Breton numbers by Vuillede-
moz were among the best expressed.
Coenraad v. Bos accompanied, with a
violin obbligato by Hugo Kortschak in
the Bach numbers. George Schneider,
tenor, and Harold nickerson. pianist.
shared the evening recital, the latter
keeping late cofners standing for some
fifteen or twenty minutes during Cesar
Franck's Prelude, Chorale and Fugue.
He played 1t with technical agility, n
crisp and emphatic touch, which was
not, on the whole, too heavy, and gave
due attention to light and shade. But
the ensuing Brahms, Schumann, De-
busy and Chopin numbers were apt to
find him with heavy hand and emo
tion outdone by emphasis.
Mr.. Schneider had very light, very
smooth tenor, which proved quite
pleasing in seventeenth and eighteenth
century numbers, especially the early
English, but while it's smoothness was
unimpaired in Schumann and Hugo

Edward johnson Takes the
Part of False Dimitri;
Talkative Members of the
Audience Prove a Trial

Boris Godounoff," with Mr.. Chalia-
pine in the title role, had It's second
presentation of the season last night
at the Metropolitan. 1t was again a
personaI triumph for that rarely gifted
singing actor, and one richly deserved.
Certainly 1t would be hard to imagine
4 more thrilling portrayal Of the ter
ror~haunted Czar, portrayal of almost
incredible authenticity, terrible In its
passionate intensity.
The part of the false Dmitri was
taken for the first time by Edward
Johnson, who strengthened the excel
,ent impression made at his first ap-
rearance with the company last week.
His ease and distinction of maner and
admirable singing We're highly COM

such continuous beauty it is q pity
that it does not seem to be more self
revelatory. 1t was apparently neces-

the audience to be continually telling
the rest what it was all about, These

entertaining to their companions, but
they were a considerable trial to those
who preferred to let the music and
action on the stage speak for them

On the Screen
''Ebb Tide at the Rialto Good
but Not Robert Louis
Stevenson
By I1arriette Underhill

On his way out of the Rialto Thea
ter Sunday night, where "Ebb Tide" is
the feature, young man remarked: /:
'If that's Robert Louis Stevenson, Pm
President Harding!" After taking a
good look at him TO be sure he was
not President Harding. we admitted
that we agreed with him perfectly.
There are two reasons why "Ebb Tide"
is worth the price of admission. how
ever. and those reasons are George
Fawcett and Raymond Hatton Mr.,
Hatton has never done anything so
good, we think, since he played in that
beautiful picture "The Whispering
Chorus" He is "Mr. j. l.. Hush" in
"Ebb Tide" a derelict of the sea, hail
ing from Whitechapel, and it would be
difficult to find a more altogether un-
calls him Mr.. 'Uish. George Fawcett
is q sea captain with such an unsea-
worthy reputation that he can get no
more vessels to command.
These two brilliant actors make the
characters live and breathe and have
their being to such remarkable de-
gree that you forget entirely that they
are only play acting, and when Hush
dies you have the feeling that never
again shall you see him on the screen.
For some reason the others do not
seem real to us at all. Noah Becry is
an excellent actor also, but he could
not succeed in making us recognize
Richard Attwater, the pearl fisher, who
harbored hatred in his heart and re.
fused to deal with white men. He was
never real TO us. and neither was Lila
