acting, the Little Theatre has gone
at least ten years ahead in its path
of progress.

discussion and moro thought. The
intelligent manner IN which Somnes
directs the production and acts the
role of Domin brings one a little
closer to the realization that the
drama Of the Little Theatre in doing
big and gigantic mental things on
the stage has come true.
BY this one production. the Little
Theatre goes way beyond any other
effort that I have witnessed with
the possible exception, of its pro-
ductions of "Everyman."
The Cast
The cast of "R. u. r." with the
exception Of Somnes is a noa-pro-
fessional cast. Anna Louise Grif-
fifth is making her first appearance
with the Little Theatre in this play.
After the first act she became the
definite alarmed character which the
author intended. Here is good and
intelligent acting.
1t is not necessary to state that
George Somnes gave clear and
brilliant Interpretation Of the man.

the Robots. His diction was ALWAYS
clear and when weird melodrama was
the method of the playwright.
Somnes did the right sort Of melo-

How did the epithet "greenhorn"
originate?
1t has its origin during the reign
Of Louis XIV. of France. A law was
passed compelling all bankrupt He
brews to wear small pointed caps or
hats made Of green cloth. The pur-
pose was to warn people from doing
business with the wearer. For a
period of about twenty years these
green hats were worn and If an In
solvent Jew appeared in the streets
without one, he was liable to be
seized by his creditors and thrust
into a dungeon. Progress and toler-
ance have robbed the expression Of
its original meaning, but the phrase
'greenhorn" has remained and is
used to denote a person bankrupt"
in brains rather than in business.

and cook with two quarts of boiling
water for about an hour or until the
rice is perfectly tender. Drain off
all the water. add two cups full of

one teaspoon cinnamon and salt to
taste.
How many times has the Govern
ment of the United States passed
laws taxing incomes?
The first income tax law was
enacted by Congress in 1858 as a
Civil. War measure and yielded a
revenue Of s2,741.857 that year. BY
1874 receipts from that source had
fallen to s14O,391 and the law was
repealed. A new income tax law
was passed in 1894, and was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court in 1895. The income tax
amendment to the Constitution was
adopted in 1909 and was ratified in
1913

Stolarevsky Raises Baton to Jazz
Music As Well AS the Great Classics
BY Walter ID. Hickman

ton in tile hand of Mikhail Stolarevs-
ky as does an overture arrangement
of Gounod's Faust"
Funny noised clarinet\ gets the
same CAREFUL attention from this
conductor of the Circle Theater Con
cert Orchestra as does the strings in
a great symphony.
This conductor from the land of
former Cars knew nothing OF jazz
until he arrived in New York about
nine or ten years ago.
Funny noises all this jazz must
have been to this man trained and
skilled in the great classics and the
symphonies.
But did the toot-toots and boot
boots of standard instruments fright
en- this man away from jazz music?
1t did not. We saw in the modern
jazz arrangement another method
Of expressing music.
And that is the object Of every
real musician and every honest con-
dustor in the world today. Music is
a universal thing and there are styles
In music just as there are in clothes
1t takes a mighty human man as
well as big artist to arrange more
than forty weeks Of programs for
movie theater. He must be HUI
man and big enough to hear the
echo Of the desires Of all people.
And this man Stolarevsky is a
conductor who does not attempt to
make everybody swallow classical
and grand opera music. He knows
the great beauty and the artistry
that Is present in great music.
OF course he wishes that every
body in the world could get as much
kick" and appreciation out of the
classical as he does. But he knows

phonic jazz gets the same careful

1t is this faith in music of all
types which has caused this con-

appeal. He has handed out over his

right way as successfully as he has
decorated the best symphonies and
the greatest operate music in the
