made up of shorter compositions, in

which he sang to the chorus, and at
the close of the number he was re-

THE second concert of the Wash

direction of Mrs. Martin Morrison,
was given last night in the audi
torium of the Calvary Methodist
Episcopal Church and was attended
by large and appreciative audi
ence. The two SoloiSts were Dorothy
Hobley and Betty Baum, who were
heard in individual recitals of classical
and modern works. and their efforts
were rewarded with hearty applause
during the evening.
Dorothy Hobley, presented by Alice
Burbage Hesselbach, began her recital
: with a prelude and Fugue in c
Sharp Minor" by Bach, followed by
chorale. Jesus, Joy of Mans De-
string" Bach-Hess. and Sonata in

she rendered with lovely tone, ex-
quisite phrasing, facile lingering and
delicate shading.
Her second group included "Chat-

"Etude. F Sharp Major" by Arensky;
Chopin's "Berceuse," and his "Scherzo
in B Flat Minor" The first three
selections were played with ineffable
charm and feminine grace and in her
performance of the difficult "Scherzo"

There are, however, TWO OutStand-
ing groups at the moment who have
definitely come out of the shadows
and have plotted a Summer season
of fire and thunder. One of them is
q Summer Theater Group" a group
of professionals about town who
will act not only for the fun of it
but for the gravy as also that
previously mentioned barn theater,
which now goes under the name of
THE Roadside Theater' Both OF
them are thick with native talent and
both are ready almost any minute
now to leap behind the footlightS and
do their stuff.
The Summer Theater Group, under
the direction of Elizabeth Sypher
(former director of the Portsmouth
Little Theater), Margaret Yard and
Charles Turner, will start off its sea-
son with the famous melodrama.
Under the Gaslight," which, if We
remember correctly, helped to put
beer back on the Hoboken map few
seasons ago. Into this production will
go such local celebrities as Ann (Arts
Club Ives, M. Forney Reese, Miss
Yard Tin person., Isham Keith, jr.,
formerly Clifford BrookeS Al Ar
row collar man; Harry Schonrack
and possibly talented Lila La Garde,
who will, at any rate, serve on the ad-
visory board. Further than that, Hugo
linden, who designed that excellent
set for the Arts Club Queens Gam
bit," and who yearly paints up the
Bal Bohemes, will have charge of
the scenery; Dorothy Yaeger will do
some technical researching; Mr..
Reese will be the business adviser. and
Mr.. Turner will have charge of the
publicity.
On the other side of the fence-or
rather, wherever the Roadside Theater
is to be-Richard Creyke, business
manager of this organization, has an
nounced that his first four plays are
scheduled for the weeks of June 10.
July 3, July II and July 81. and that
special subscriptions for this series
may be had by applying to him at

APPLE 'N|GHTCAPS
PLEASED LINCOLN
Hotel Manager Recalls Ira
ditlon on Anniversary of
Emancipator'S Birth.

Abraham Lincoln was addicted to
apples, according to the tradition at
the Willard Hotel, where H. P. Somer-
vile. manager, today told Of the days
when the Emancipator was a guest.
The Willard replaced the old Full
ler's Hotel, and its construction was
going on when Lincoln was serving
In the House from 1847 to 1849. It
soon became center of the social
and political life of the Capital, and
as such Lincoln knew 1t. Therefore
1t was to the Willard that he came
late IN February, 1861, when as Pres
1dent-elect he journeyed from Spring.
held to washington to be inaugurated.
Before Lincoln started for the
Capital he had prepared his inaugural
address with great care" Mr.. Somer-
vile SAID. 1.-THE manuscript was de-
posted in gripsack for safekeepine.
but when Lincoln inquired for the
bag at Harrisburg, Pa, his son. Rob-
ert, reported that q waiter in the
hotel had taken 1t.
"Astounded, Lincoln went to the
baggage room, where he saw a large
pile OF gripSacks and other baggage
and thought he discovered his His
key fitted it, but on opening there
was nothing inside but a few paper
collars and a flask Of whisky. A
lew minutes afterward he came across
his own gripsack with the document
In it.
Thus it was that Lincoln had his
address tucked securely in his coat
pocket when at the end of the Srip he
strode into the lobby of the Willard
to register.
Prom the moment of his arrival at
the hotel he was besieged by mem
oers OF the Republican party, There
were long conferences on the forma
ton OF what was to be an aIl-im-
portant cabinet.
AT night, the President-elect reg
ulariy ordered a large, juicy red apple
brought to his rooms. And there.
while he reviewed the crowded events
that had led to his election, he SOL
emnly munched the fruit. If friends
were present, nothing would do but
that each should have a similar night
cap.
In honor Of Lincoln the Willard
still continues the apple custom. 1t
Is one Of our legends"
