NEWMAN TAKES HEARERS
TO SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
His Concluding Travelogue Rec
ognizes Strong Appeal of
Romantic Area.
CONDUCTING his audience to the

CONDUCTING his audience to the
South Seas in his concluding
travelogue of the season, z. M. New
man yesterday afternoon at the Ma
tional Theater directed his camera to
romantic and unusual themes, dis
carding on the whole the more news
like subjects of the prior lectures.
Although his chief aim was the de-
picting of the less visited spots of the
South Pacific and hurried survey of
the natives mannerisms and customs,
he nevertheless managed to present
many islands that have recently been
featured In the headlines.
Chief among these were the Cocos
Islands, where reports Of buried treas
ure recently set British searchers at
odds with the Costa Rica government.
Here, too, came President Roosevelt on
his recent vacation. These islands and
those Of the Galapagos group proved
to be entertaining topics, not only for
their news content, but also for the
pictorial analysis of the islands and
their vegetation and animal life.
Keenly aware Of the romantic allure
that the South Seas holds for the
average citizen, Mr.. Newman treated
his subject with f1nesse and originality.
Many islands that are Of legendary
name to us were brought alive by the
capable globe-trotter, in such man
ner as to make his listeners under
stand the appeal of the tropical waters.
Equally informative and entertain
ing we're his studies of the different
dances in vogue on each of the islands.
All showed the savage beat that still
rings in their hearts, and all were keen
indications of their varied ancestry.
To the inexperienced traveller these
islands presented cool and slightly
vistas, not at all reminiscent Of the
tropical heat that at times Swelters
them. As the lecturer pictured them
they were perfect Utopian paradises,
providing, as they do to all that dwell
on them, bountiful repasts and homes
that can be made with little expense.
AS a concluding thought, Mr.. New
man exploited parts of the Fiji Islands.

directing and the depth of his musical
feeling. He is a remarkable musician,
with an absolute knowledge of his pro-
fession, to which he brings, to an
unusual degree. the peculiar angle OF
vision that is Slavic.
A S ONE analyses the effects which
= he creates, one is astounded by
his extraordinary knowledge Of tonal
color. Not only is this heard IN the
united choral tone, but also in his
choice of soloists or in his introduction
of a solo passage at the right moment
to enhance the interpretive end for
which he is working. Through this
gift, he makes the singing of the
chorus take on the pattern of rare
tapestry wherein the dominant colors
Of the whole are intensified by grada-
tions of shades. He seems to know the
exact vocal color Of each Of his singers
and to employ 1t with the skill un-
equaled by any other choral leader.
His soloists are given no place of
Importance in the program, but his
listeners are rewarded with lovely in
dividual moments when. from nowhere,

point of Interpretation.
The ensemble this year was even
better balanced than at the last ap-
pearance, although the darker voices
are still the most impressive. The
tenors are less raucous, due perhaps
to the almost constant use of falsetto.
This particular use Of the tenor voice
was introduced into the ensemble a
few years ago, and seems to have be-
come a fixture It tends greatly to
monotony and loses much of its ef-
feet through overuse. In fact, the
Don CoSsacks seem to specialize in
pianissimos of the relaxed kind and
this, with the unnatural quality of
the falsetto, is the one point of de-
bate in the otherwise extraordinary
interpretations.
THE first two numbers were given
exclusively in this subdued tone
and not until Kastalsky's I'VE Sing to
Thee" was the full gorgeousness of
this orchestra like singing group
heard in its complete volumne. This
number and NiShtchinsky's "The
Captive Cossack" were the most
beautiful offerings on the program.
Schvedoff's History in Song Of S.
Jaroff and His Don Cossack Chorus
did not live up to expectations. and
rather defeated its end in the uneven
ness of its composition.
Other outstanding numbers were
the special "Volga-Song," the excerpt
from Rimsky-Korsakoff's ''The In
visible Town Kitesh and the Maid
Fevronia," "An Old Polka" arranged
by Dobrowen, Schvedoff's ''Lezginka'
and Jaroff's arrangement of 1.-TWO
Don Cossack Songs" which completed
the program.

CUNYA (sM1LES) sLANE leads the

opened yesterday at the Gayety. Her
youth and enthusiasm give much
needed stimulus to a performance that
was tending toward dullness.
Aiding her, as she only can do, was
Hinda NASSAU, who is being held over
for another week. Her one appearance
was a show all of her own. It was
her impression of the other artists
who appear at the Gayety from week
to week. 1t seems that Miss NASSAU
has q keen sense of humor, for she
burlesqued her profession in a most
enthusiastic fashion.
Queerly enough, the one who drew
the greatest applause was an artist of

THERE was a pretty how-do-you-do
back stage at the Fox Saturday
afternoon. Ella Logan had lost her
voice and Ed Sullivan and everybody
else was running around trying to find
1t. Then, down the hall, young Bill
Brady had also lost part of his voice
and was wrapped pretty solidly in a
wrapper and a muff1er trying to patch
it together. Then the drug store next
door didn't have any flzZy- water; and
Phil Lampkin was apologizing for hav-
ing missed a c or G or some other
note during the performance-and Mr..
Sullivan was screaming for news for
his next days column, and attractive
Mrs. Sullivan had only just come
down by air from New York-and re-
porters were running in and out-and
the Lathrop Brothers were vowing
vengeance on that young man in the
front row who had said boo" at
the first performance-and Miss Logan
was trying to locate young Tommy

Then, too, there is the Rudy VAL

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LOSS

Gambling is losing game. This is the inescapa-
BILE conclusion to be drawn from the searching
study of commercialized gambling contained IN q;
series of 70 articles completed with today's Issue
of the Monitor
The most alarming thing disclosed by the survey
is the tremendous growth of the corporate entity
behind gambling inducements the world over. A
threefod force gives impulse to the spread of pub
lie gambling: the quest of governments for new
sources of tax revenues through licensed gamblng
the inclination of people to seek excitement or
wealth in gambling; the promoter of gambling who
doles out thousands of dollars to governments and
charities to disguise enterprises that piage the
public of millions.
The series has shown to some extent the process
bv which dollars lost through commercialized gam
bling may be translated into misgovernment-
graft bribery waste, election fraud, crime protec-
ton and purchased tolerance of organized vice
More disturbing even than the prodigious volume
Of monetary losses resulting from exploitation Of
the public is the increasing tendency OF local ana
national governments throughout the world to au-
thorize gambling schemes for revenue-ralslng pur-
poses Governments which tried this method before
and discarded it as morally and economically I'M
sound are resortng to it again under the economic
stress of the times And history not only repeat
ing itself; it is exceeding itself
The state can prohibit organized gambling facll-
ties but the gambling habit in people is something
legislatures cannot curtail. Public enlightenment
on the evils of gambling may be the only solution
But the problem presents challenge to the state
to dissolve its partnership with gambling and as
sert it's responsibility for safeguarding the public

COMMUNISTS AND CHURCHES

Dissatisfied with the movement against religion
in Russia the Communist party has begun new
campaign against clergymen, priests and churches.
The five year plan of 1882 which was expected to
put an end to all churches and ministers by 1897
has not succeeded Some church buildings still are
open and ministers are serving congregations. That
does not suit the Communists and they are thrsting
for the complete abandonment by the people of all
notion of God.
Churches may be closed, ministers and priests
sent to Siberia, and all religion apparently may dis
appear from Russia but underneath the surface the
embers will be slumbering to await coming events
to fan them into flame. Imperial Rome attempted
to destroy Christianity in Italy and in Gaul IN the
early centuries. Suddenly Roman emperor march
ed his legions through the streets OF the Eternal
city with the Cross as his signal Of victory Then
worshippers came out of caves and cellars and
catacombs where they had held secret meetings
while hostile government had done its worst.

son from. history. They may establish collective
farms, build great factories, erect dams and ope-
rate power plants, but these are material things

dreds of millions the religion that has influenced

they rent a room, OF they rent a
house; and they leave the room,
or they leave the house when they
get laid off. Those who are not
laid off never know when they will
be laid off. Therefore they have
no interest in building up any
thing. That industry has democrat
lied and degenerated that COM
munity.
Fundamentally, industries should
not be permitted in congested
areas. They should be compelled
to establish themselves and their
own communities in the wide open
spaces. Industrial life and rural
life should go hand in hand. The
industry should be surrounded by
workers who have their homes and
tracts of land of reasonable size,
so that when they have time off,
the workers can employ them
selves making their gardens or
tilling their little farms. Thus they
can produce much of their food
and insure themselves against in

industry would be allowed to es-
tablish itself in my city or within
