MARRIAGE RITUAL
REC|TED FOR JURY
New York City Clerk, on Trial
Under Income Tax Law,
Denies Accusations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 8-Deputy City
Clerk James j. Mccormick recited from
the witness stand the ritual by which
he joins couples in marriage at Munich
pal Chapel.
Mccormick, testifying in his own de-
fenSe to charges that he attempted to
defeat and evade the income tax law
in connection with gratuities tossed
into his cash drawer by newly married
husbands, previously denied he had
called any one cheap skate" or re-
ferred to a dollar bill as lone lousy
buck"
The marriage ceremony, which Nc
Cormick said he had down by heart"
was repeated in such rapid fire order
that the court stenographer looked up
with a request that parts of 1t be re-
peated 1t did not include the ''love,
honor and obey'' phrase.
Procedure Is Described.
Describing his procedure afer per-
forming marriage, Mccormick said,
IT sign the certificate, roll it up, put
an elastic around it, and deliver it."
'I have never asked human being
for single dollar" he said.
In answer to later question Nc
Cormick said thousands" paid him
nothing.
''It was an exception for you to re-
ceive a gift, was it not?" asked his
lawyer
No he replied, more paid me than
didn't
Did you ever call any one cheap
skater"
II never called any one in the mar
riage chapel by that name" Mccormick
replied, "and I never spoke of dollar
as one lousy buck"
Witnesses Use Term.
Government witnesses had testified
to hearing cheap skate" called after
them when they overlooked the cash
drawer after being married in the
chapel.
Mccormick said he had been advised
by lawyer and by friends that gifts
were not taxable and that when he
later learned from an official source
that he owed income taxes for a period
of eight years he was surprised"
He went down to the Custom House
and gave his check for $25 900, he said,
$4,000 to cover taxes and $4,000 to
hquidate the penalty.

such a degree that 1t eventually be-
comes a burden rather than hap
piness for her.
Those who believe that they can
see evil in this do themselves and
the film great wrong. There is no
violent distortion of emotion as
there was in THE Captive" The
story, as in the case Of Young
Woodley," concerns the kind OF
crush" that young, overe.notional
people are likely to have for people
older than themselves. It Is neither
unpleasant nor unnatural-and 1t is
mounted with such beauty that there
is not the slightest danger of any
one being offended by it.
What makes this something far
out of the ordinary is the almost un-
canny way in which the characters
have been created on the screen.
Each face Is alive with per-
Sonality and with that particular
virtue or fault which is character
istic Of it. Thus the principal, Emilia
linda, Is reminiscent of that old
order Of Prussian generals who spent
their lives enforcing discipline" and
who became in their final evolution
mere masks Of their former selves.
Fraulein linda is q mask. Not until
she has been a spec.-.tor to what
comes near to being dreadful trag-
edy does that mask begin to melt
and you realize that she has spark
of humanity lurking somewhere
underneath all of her harshness.
Dorothea Wieck, the teacher who
believes that all teachers should
take the place Of mothers" in
school Of this kind, has a gentleness
and serenity about her which few
other film actresses have attained.
She Is the Fraulein Won Bernberg
whose understanding of the affection
that Manuela has for her is some
thing that is far beyond mere under
standing. While her role, measured
in words, is not very long, it is not
easily forgotten, and long after the
film Is over you will remember her
for her kindness, as you will remem-
Der Hertha Thiele's characterization
Of the 14-year-old motherless girl
whose emotional crisis becomes very
nearly the be-all and the end-all Of
her brief career.
All of them combine to lend reality
to this distinctive and distinguished
film. Just what was In the mind of
our censors when they first banned
it is a question. Certainly they must
have been dreaming things far be-
yond what has been included in this
little Story-which has all the yir-
tues of simplicity as. well as all the
elements of greatness.

Costume Recital
Given by Two Artists.

Given by Two Artists.
THE colorful musical program
L which was given last evening
by Felicia Rybier, pianist, and Rob-
ert Wiedefeld, baritone, was en-
HANGED by the appearance Of the
artists in authentic and richly hued
4 national costumes of Italy and
Spain. Both artists sincerely gave
themselves up to the inspiration OF
the music and presented their num-
bers with a naturalness Of feeling
that was invigoAting.
Miss Rybier is a pianist for whom
mighty cords and speedy runs are
apparently child's play and source
of Joy for her abundant fire. She
plays with a sweeping power that Is
inexhaustible and fatigue proof. The
lighter passages scintillate with bril-
uancy of tone and rapidity OF ex-
ecution, as in Scarlatti's "Pastorale
ct Capriccio" and Paradisi's "Toc-
cata," Schumann's Carnival" with
with its kaleidoscope pictures, was a
riot of color and movement under
her agile fingers, while Chopn's
"Polonaise" was stirring In its
abandon.
The two extremes of pianissimo
and fortissimo, however, are the only
means Miss Rybier employs to get
her effects. The path between OF
meZzo forte or the steps by which
the hill to fortissimo can be reached
are not made use of, and there IS a
regret at the end of a program that
these have been overlooked. Tne
urge of her temperament makes II
difficult at times for her to maintain
IL nf
take account of variety of pedal con-
troll. An admixture of reflection
and romance would enrich her play
ing to an enormous degree. Her
final group of Spanish numbers, for
which Miss Rybier wore a charm
ing Andalusian costume, was espe-.
cially suited to her style and evoked
enthusiastic applause.
Robert Wiedefeld is baritone
whose magnificent voice has won
him unsual distinction here and
abroad. 1t is beautiful in quality,
healthy in texture and produced
without effort. 1t is the type OF
voice and production which permits
of giving way to musical desires
without fear of harmful conse-
quences. Mr.. Wiedefeld feels what
he sings and feels it artistically and
and correctly. The intangible some
thing which stamps the nationality
of a composition and which Is dift1-
cult for one of another nationality
to completely understand has been
acquired by Mr.. Wiedefeld. The
simple putting on of an Italian COS
tune could not create the illusion OF
an Italian singer without the un-
= explainable twist that is necessary
to exactly interprete the music.
This Mr.. Wiedefeld has, and whether
German, RlvS:an, italian or Eng
iish, he is truly national in diction,
rrusical accent and color.
Although operatic in style, he is
able to make songs more interest
ing by accentuating their drama,
and his singing Of ''Drei Wanderer,"
by Herman; Work" by Ross, and N
gitano re-" of Paganucci, were splen-
did examples of this talent. The
three German songs, VOLTS "Uber
nacht," Brahms "Minnelied" and
Schuberts "Erster Verlust," were
sung with tenderness and deep feel
ing. Such inspiring singing could
not help but reach an audience and
the applause he received for each
number was spontaneous and heart
felt.
Mr.. wiedefeld had the sympa.
thskic accompaniment of Wginis
Casteue. A. z.

Pianist and Singer
At Friday Music Club.
A PERFORMANCE Of Brahms
numbers on the program given
by Helen Corbin Heinl and Flora
McGill Keefer at the Friday Morning
Music Club yesterday was an early
tribute to the composer, whose CEN
tennial will be celebrated on May 7.
Mrs. Heinl associated him with the
first Of the famous "B" by placing a
prelude by Bach as introduction to
the two Brahms numbers, "Ballade"
and Rhapsody" which made up her
f1rst group.
Mrs. Heinl is pianist whose Sc
robustness and thoughtfulncSs of pur-
pose infuse all that she interprets
and stamps her playing with the un-
questionable mark Of the true artist.
Her finger technique Is impeccable,
her pedaling highly developed and
her tone melodious and limpid.
Whatever the artistic accoutrements,
there is bound to be special type of
music in which an artist excels, and
for Mrs. Heinl Brahms and Chopin
provide the proper vehicle for her
talent. It is possible that the poetry,
which she understands SO well to
emphasize in Chopin, could also be
transferred to Brahms, but her in
clination is to stress the more solid
qualities Of Brahms and to ignore
his romantic leanings.
Again the confines Of a personal
reaction was apparent in her play
ing Of the "Traeumerie," by Strauss;
Stojowski's Pres du Ruisseau" and
Dcbussy's "Poissons dor" Mrs.
Heinl is not DebuSsy interpreter,
for his whimsical airy ideas seem to
escape her, while the "Pres du Ruis-
seau" come rippling from her fingers
and the 'Traeumerie" was exquisitely
imaginative and lyrical. At the end
of her second group she was recalled
repeatedly in the hopes that she
would add to her program, but the
audience was disappointed.
Mrs. Keefer chose four of the most
beloved of Brahms songs, "Immer
tag" Won Ewige Liebe" and 20
Lieblichc Wangen," to place togeth-
er. The infinite beauty of the poem
was UIOuSilt OuL DIS CdIelutly as the
musical phrases, a thing that is over
looked many times by singers and
which is particularly necessary to a
correct singing of Brahms. The re-
pose and simplicity of Mrs. Keefer's
manner of singing was refreshing
and permitted the full enjoyment of
her artistry undisturbed. A little
English song, Home" by Mac
Fayden, was beautifully sung with
finely managed phrases and tender
sentiment. A composition by Dor
othy Radde Emery, Moonlight on
the Sea-" who was Mrs. Keefer's ac-
companist for the program, with
words by Alden H. Emery, was en-
Enthusiastically applaudcd. With q
piano background that delicately
pictures the evanescent quality OF
moonlight, Mrs. Emery has given the
voice an opportunity to work up to a
climax that crystallizes the beauty of
the poem. Mrs. Keefcr Is a rare ar
tist for such understanding interpre-
tation. She gives richly Of her noble
artistic feeling and leaves the listen.

single purpose of achieving the ideal
of a contented partner in marriage.
She begins with nuptial contract
which promises logical freedom
within the law; finds that her hus-
band has violated the spirit of the
contract; is tempted to adopt the
ancient formula of IAN eye for an
eye"; maintains her own integrity;
sues for divorce; is blocked by her
own carelessness of appearances,
and, in the end realizes the ambi-
ton with which the marriage was
undertaken.
This star never fails to create de-
tails of the character that she has
undertaken. With a finesse which
gives a truthful picture of the
woman of the play, and makes her
a person to be noticed in the crowd,
she is first an example of the en-
thusiastic wife, then a victim of
jealousy, and finally distracted
with proud courage. 1t IS to the
credit of Miss Swanson that she is
able to create the sure impression
of these steps in marriage expe-
rience, while an ideally toned voice

observer. One of the fine points in
the production is the succession OF
obvious emotions that sweeps the
star as her husband makes confess
sion of his error. At that point the
Swanson ability successfully meets
as severe test as could be applied.
The play, Notwithstanding its
type, is one of moderately fast ac-
ton, with quick changes OF scene,
and some examples of the effects
of jealousy, apart from the chief
characters, one of which results in
the stabbing Of minor character.
Miss Swanson has a company OF
good performers, chief among whom
are Lawrence Olivier, Michael
Farmer and Genevieve Tobin. Their
contributions are spirited and OF a
popular type, with unusually inter-
esting scenes at Cannes, where a
cocktail race and collision lead to
one climax.
The Palace also offers an elabo-
rate film covering the career OF
President Roosevelt, from the time
he became New York State Sena-
tor to the recent incidents OF the
