 Smaller had a huge job on his hands to sing it in such an imposing man. ner; indeed, he was never in better voice. The elaborate accompani- inent. larded with the tang of the sea. was given with resounding vigor by the composer. It was also grand evening for Adolph Sundel. violinist. Here is a lad of some IS years who has been studying the violin for a total of three years. He began under the tutelage of MT. Fleitzer and some months ago began studying in Hart ford. He entered the Musical Club as an ensemble player and now Is able to play solos of importance with all the clements of n vigorous and intuitive style. It may be a com- monplace to say Mir. Sundell has talent; he has plenty of 1t. He played pieces by sarasate and Kreis- Ter, and there is no doubt about it that in comparatively short time he will be one of the outstanding violinists in these parts.

QUAKEPROOF PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION
Experts Tell How to Build
 Safer Buildings

Cambridge, Mass, May 1 R - Types of structures best fitted to resist earthquakes. and basal prin- ciples of seismic survey were con- sidered at the opening meeting to- day of the eastern section of the seismolozical society of America at the Massachusett Institute of Tech nology here.
 Professor Charles NJ. spofrord. head of the department of civil en- gineering at Technology. who for years has studied construction in relation to earthquakes, declared that the tremendous loss of life in recent years could largely have been prevented by proper engineering practice.
 The steel framed buildings of lower Broadway would be as safe in an earthquake as would the Levi athan in a storm at sea, if walls, floors and partitions were to be made of steel plates as is the ship. or of reinforced concrete, he de- clared.
 As result of a survey of ruins on Messina in Sicily. Kingston in Jamaica. Santa Barbara in Califor- mia and Cartago in Costa Rica, Prof. spofford found that no building con- structed entirely of material with a low tensile resistance or little elas- ticity was safe against severe shock. This applied to adobe, ordinary brick work laid in lime mortar and lime mortar rubble.
 General elasticity, continuity and lightness of structure were or more importance than thickness of walls or low height, he declared. Wooden framed buildings of moderate height with walls and partitions framed of metal laths or expanded metal covered with lime plaster will resist with little or no danger very severe shocks. provided no earth Assure occurred. Listing buildings of fireproof construction in order of their ability to resist ravages of earthquakes, Prof. Spofford put in first place steel framed buildings with rigid connections between lat teral and vertical members and with walls. partitions and floors sc- curely fastened to the steel struc- ture. These should be composed of non-combustible, elastic material of considerable tensile strength and as light in weight as consistent with carrying the prescribed loads.
 Of structures of. non-iireproof construction. the best or all types were timber buildings with balloon frames: vertical studding continu- ous throughout the height of walls. and with continuous diagonal wall bracing connected to other mem- bers, he said.
 Prof. Spofford advocated automat- ic devices to cut off gas and cleo tricity at the instant of shock. and

Goose songs, Mrs. Emile Andzulatis lin solos, with Harold Sjolander at the piano; Miss Ruth Schadc in con- tralto solos, with Mir. Johnson at the piano. Howard Y. stearns gave a brief talk on music before the pro- gram started.
 Those figuring in tho Ensemble were Marcus H. Fleit2er and George Westerman, first violins, and the former the leader: Adolph Sundell, second violin; George Hahn. viola; Walter r. Occupin, cello; Charles A. Nourse. double bass; Harold c. Sted- man, flute; and Charles A. Johnson, piano.
 The ensemble was formed only about week ago, but as the mem bers are well on in music four high class numbers were available, and were played with exquisite finish. The club has been a long time in getting around to this ensemble, but now that it has evolved it will be added to steadily, so it's founders say, and is certain to be q feature of future club activities. The idea is to develop into a high grade little symphony orchestra in this city and players of additional instruments are in view for adhesion in the near fu- ture. That was the best thing the Musical Club ever did," one woman ly auditor told Mir. Fleitzer later; and that about sizes it up.
 MT. Hart's songs were received with much acclaim and some aston ishment regarding their powerful merit. They were "Oh, Moon Out Wonder" (the words by Dorothy Bond Shailer) When the Wind Is Low" and Sea Song" The first had a fine melodic curve imposed upon a rIstling accompaniment. which might in general be applied to the second. The third was of ter

POLL PLAYERS.

\ most interesting study of the clash of opposing personalities is that brought out in Rain" at the Palace, Hartford, all this week. The Poli Players are appearing in the story of such a conflict on 8 South Sea island. One of the characters is a san Francisco girl whose moral code is by no means rigid. And by chance she meets on the island a mis- sionary whose formula for regener- s.tion is most rigid.
 While the incessant rain lasting an entire week keeps all indoors, there comes the interplay of the strongly held opinions Of these two as to attitude toward life. In the final scene the audience is left to it's own decision as to which was near CT right, but there is intense dra- matic action upon which to found an opinion.

attributed to quick action of gas and electric employees at Santa Bar bara the salvation of the city from possible conflagration.
 In the course of an address on basal principles of seismic survey" Professor Charles w. Brown of Brown university declared that while hitherto earthquakes have been studied through their effects in sort of "posthumous" record, the value should not be overlooked of an anticipatory gathering of all geo. logical geophysical and engineering data that might serve as an appro. priate basis for evaluating struc-N lures, their types, character, loca- tion and possible insurance in terms of earthquake liability.

By actual count there are forty- nine laughs in the first act of "The Jazz Singer" fifty-three daughters in the second act, and eighteen laughs in the third act. The wise ones on Broadway say that this IS the most unusual phenomenon on the stage in years Not that there have been no other plays with as many laughs. There are plays on Broadway today with as many and more laughs than "The Jazz Singer The point is that no other play in at least ten years. with so serious theme, has had one-half as many humorous touches. Still more re- markable. according to the theater- wise, is that the laughs are what IS known as natural" rather than "hokum."
