clans and critics but no finer tributt
could have been paid to this excel
lent organization than the follow
ing, from that celebrated conductor
Walter DamroSch:
"The Flonzaley quartet has dis
solved, and this is a great loss. But
it is a satisfaction to know that an
American organization called The
Musical Art Quartet with Sascha
Jacobsen as its leader, is. ready and
able to continue the noble work of
the Flonzaleys. BY dint of the
great individual artistry of its play
ers and by incessant work toward
perfection of their ensemble, the
Musical Art Quartet has achieved
remarkable heights, and I predict
Tor it great future.
ITO the musician as we'll as to
the amateur, it is a joy to hear
these players performing a quar-
tet of Beethoven. 1t is as if four
well-bred and high-minded people
had come together to discuss the
most beautiful experience of life"
Music lovers Of this city will have
an opportunity to add their opinion
to that of Damrosch when the
quartet plays here on Wednesday
night, Dec. 7, at Caleb Mills hall
under the auspices of the Civic Mu-
sic Association.

MAN AGAINST WOMAN"
NOW AT THE PALACE

The Strong Arm Johnny McCloud
that Keene Thompson and 10 Swer-
ling wrote into the scenario from
which Man Against Woman"
which opened Friday at Loew's Pal
ace, was filmed, is no visionary
character.
He is drawn almost directly from
the life Of detective now active on
the New York City detective force,
whose name must be left unmen-
toned for obvious reasons.
Jack Holt, cast as Johnny Nc
Cloud, is man who single-handed
has the gangster element whipped
and cowed in fear before him. And
he never carries gun. His fists
are enough bare handed he sloughs
his way through guns and gangsters
bullets, getting nicked once in a
while but never badly enough to
stop him.
That's just the way he bludgeonS
his way through into marriage, too
When he finds girl who satisfies
his ideal completely, he goes about
her counting just as if he were
handling and planning a campaign
against a criminal.
He sends to her home town and
finds from the police a complete
record Of her childhood, her parent
age and her back ground. He even
beats her thoroughly when she gets
in his way.
Hollywood also presents new
discovery in the person of platinum
blonde, torchy-voiced Lillian Miles,
who is considered to set a startling
mark for a newcomer in pictures
in her debut opposite Holt, as his
leading woman.
Short subjects comprising the
balance of the program will include
a Charlie Chase Comedy entitled,
Girl Grief" an M-G-M Oddly,
Chill and Chills;" a Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse Cartoon comic, THE
Hayward Canary" and the most
recent issue of the Hearst Metro

a tensely-dramatic role and depicts
the rich emotionalism Of mother
love.
The role, 1t is intimated, was Sc
lected by Miss Bow, and during its

sympathizes with her cause, Gilbert
Roland heads the cast.

wastrel; Estelle Taylor as her in
discreet mother; Anthony Jowett as
her weak-willed sutton; Willard Rob-
ertson as her stern parent, and Will

a Reparations Agreement.

More rapidly than any one dared to
hope the reparation powers at Lausanne
arc arrived at the verge OF an agree
ment. A period of what the Germans
call "cow trading" has yet to be sur
mounted, but the basis Of compromise
has been laid and conclusions seem
imminent.
Broadly, reparations are eventually TO
be settled by a German bond issue in
favor Of the creditor nations. What its
total amount will be remains to be
fixed. In any event it will represent a
substantial reduction of the sum for
which the Reich is obligated under the
Young plan. Lausanne Is talking about
an aggregate Of something between 72o
and / ,00s million dollars. If this is the
ultimately agreed total 1t viii be cut
OF about ninety-six per cent on the
Young figures.
There is a good deal Of tinsel about

The Roosevelt Name.

1t is more than thirty years since the
American people had to be instructed
in the manner of pronouncing the name
of a member of the Roosevelt family,
and now, with a new generation ac-
lively observant and interested regard
ing another scion of the Dutch for
bsar who merged into the American
commonwealth in 1914, it is necessary
to set the tongue straight in the utter
ance of that patronymic. The founder
OF the family in the New World was
Klaes Martensen Roosevelt. He doubt
less spoke only the language of his
homeland when he reached New Am
sterdam. There were many of his own
nationality there and the need for ac-
quiring new tonnage was probably not
felt. There is tradition that his name
was then spoken, by himself and his
family and his friends, as it is spoken
now by those who have descended
through seven generations. That pro-
nunciation, in its long-standing form,
is quite simple. The double o. Of the
Dutch is spoken as the long 20" in
so" the first syllable being precisely
in sound as the word rose" The Sec
ond syllable is spoken as it is written,
welt" not felt" Thus the name is
sounded as Roosevelt"
All this was set forth frequently when
Theodore Roosevelt became a national
figure, when he was Federal civil service
commissioner, New York's police COM
missioner, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, commander of the regiment of
Rough Riders in the Spanish-American
War, Governor of New York, Vice
President of the United States, and
finally President, first by succession and
then by election. With each advance
into public attention the proper pro-
nunciation Of his name was explicitly
made known by his friends. Now his
fifth cousin-which appears to be about
the relationship between Theodore and
Franklin-comes into the national
limelight and the manner of speaking
the old Dutch name must be once
more expounded. The Democratic NOM
inee for President should not be men
toned as Roosevelt" or as "Rusey-
welt" or "Ruzeyvelt," or any combina-
tion of that first syllable with the
softer 'felt" as a second syllable. 1t is
just plain Roosevelt" one Of the old
Dutch "o's" being dropped into the dis
card when spoken.

ing more than scraps Of prettily en-
graved paper, Germany and her cred
itors indulge the hope that the United
States may bring itself to revise" the
debts owing this country. Evidently
news of the cold shoulder just turned
TO that proposition by both political
parties, in conventions assembled at
Chicago. have not yet reached Switzer-
land. The French wanted to have writ
ten into the Lausanne agreement a
safeguarding" clause making the elm
ination of reparations conditional upon
debt revision by the United States, but
apparently, on objections by Germany,
this provision was dropped
Chancellor Won Papen, whose diplom-
acy at Lausanne has been distinguished
by a spirit of accommodation which
creditor statesmen hardly expected from
the new militarist -monarchist govern
ment at Berlin, has on the face of
things accomplished one of Germany's
prime objectives. The scheduled set
tlement' of reparationS will enable the
chancellor to claim that reparations are
ended through the plan to make one
final payment. The Reich, on the other
hand, abandons its demands for equality
in ornaments.
Cow trading" is certain to continue
for a while before a reparations bar
gain satisfactory to all is bred, but
agreement is palpably on the way. A
considerable degree of optimism is re-
quired for conviction that Lausanne
marks the end of the tragi-comic rep
arations mess. The world must derive
such solace as it can from the fact that
progress toward complete solution ap-
pears to have been achieved.
