Lowell seemed to have van
ished utterly, although both
friends and foes felt certain
that somewhere back there,
silent and deadly, lurked the
lone rider whose past had al
ready made him a lengend

to track him down.

He smiled. I'm afraid Verde

he answere easily. "The
mother of Captain O'Hearn
need not be attached long to
a border cavalry post. I hap
pen to know how well they re-

Impulsively she interrupted.
'But are they going to get him?
Everyone seems to believe he
has already eluded Pat and left
the country, and they tell me
he's fearfuly brave and des-
perate." Petulantly she added,
II don't see how Pat can be ex-
pected to capture a man who
knows the country from in
fancy, especially with all these
lawless ranchers helping him."
Sari leaned back and smoked
thoughtfully. "No, I don't think
he has left the country. In
fact, I have reason to believe
he's not many miles away. But,
Of course, as you say, the odds
are terribly against your sons
success if it's simply left to

ALCOTT TALE
is PRESENTED
FOR CHILDREN

II 1NDER THE LILACS," presented
Saturday at the National by the
Children's Theater of New York. is
a relic of days when the vogue of
Louisa M. Alcott was a feature of the
domestic literary world.
Saturdays audience, representing
juvenile Washington, displayed the
universal interest in the plots of Miss
Alcott, with their wealth of household
incidents and the primitive melodrama
that, in the authors hands, had less
of the sensational than the more Wig
0rous and less refined products of the
same period. 1t is here transported
from the book and the magazine to
the stage.
History was repeated in this per-
formance, for the young auditors
found the fascination of the circus
nc less forceful than in the Alcott
age, when boys who were associated
with the big tents, and possessed the
precocious wisdom of an Alger hero,
were worthy of careful and enthu-
siastic attention.
Some of the strength of the per-
formance of Under the LilacS" was
given by the tricks of a small dog,
possessed by the boy bareback rider
who escaped from the circus because
of cruelty. "Rowdy," as the canine
performer is known in real life, had
much dramatic ability in his work as
"Sancho," stolen by a tramp from
Bah, the heroine Of the story.
Another source Of excitement was
the presentation of a complete
Punch and Judy" show by the cir
Gus boy, played with spirtt and skill
by William Clifford.
Merit marked the performances of
Betty Macdonald as Bah, and Jewel
Morse as Betty, while William Court
leigh gave a smooth impersonation
of Thorny. dignified young man of
the family. Excellent contributions
were made by Velma Royton and
Doris burnside in adult roles.

VIOLIN SHARES
HONORS WITH
ORCHESTRA

THE third annual program Of cham
ber-orchestra music was given
yesterday afternoon under the auspices
Of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge by men,
bers Of the National Symphony Or
cheStra, Dr.. Hans Kinder conduct
ing. The auditorium of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, where
these concerts have been given, was
filled, every seat occupied and several
rows of people standing in the rear
The large audience was enthusiastic
over the work of the small orchestra
and the soloist, Viola Mitchell violinist,
who played with the National Sym
phony Orchestra in Constitution Hall
February 7.
She repeated Malpiero's concerto
for violin and orchestra, played on
that occasion, which was its first per-
formance in Washington. The COM
position was written and dedicated to
Mrs Coolidge in 1882 and its first per-
formance was in 1884 by Miss Mitchell.
The second hearing of the work gives
a more favorable impression and Miss
Mitchell again gave an excellent ac-
count of herself as an accomplished
virtuoso, leaving a desire in many Of
her listeners to hear her play at least
one of the classics of real beauty.
She has brilliant technique. the
cadenza in the final movement she
dashed of with amazing speed and
ease, and her tone is rich and warm
and Of ample size.
The orchestra played the Sym
phony No. 3 in c." by c. P. E. Bach,
which was given by the entire or
chestra at its concert January 13, and
the presentation yesterday was en-
hanced by the smaller auditorium as
well as by the smaller group of players.
The composition loses much in the
larger auditoriums and, except for a
bit of carelessness on the part of the
pianist in anticipating or tagging be-
hind the beat, the performance yes
terday was excellent.
Five brief numbers Of Purcell's
suite were very refreshing between the
two ultra modern compositions Of
Malpiero and Respighi, the continuity
of theme and form, as well as the
richness of the harmony, were marked
contrasts to the seeming lack of con-
tinuity in the moderns.
The closing number was concerto
for five instruments and orchestra,
written and dedicated to Mrs. Coolidge
by Ottorino Respighi, for which the
soloists were Viola Mitchell, violin;
Sol Sax, piano; Isadore Goldblum,
oboe; Charles Yuki, trumpet, and
Jacques Posell, bass. The three move
ments were played without pause, and
following three other numbers, with
from three to five movements or Sec
tions, gave the impression Of great
length. The number bears repeating,
earlier on a program, when the audi
ence has not already heard a SYM
phony, a concerto and suite.
The program opened with j. s.
Bach's choral prelude, II Call on Thee,
Lord" which was beautifully played
and fitting beginning for the concert.
The large audience remained at the
close of the program to applaud the
conductor and the soloists. 1t is un-
unfortunate that a program OF such
interest should have been without
charge, at the same time as a recital
by eminent artist.

"BLUE RHYTHM GIRLS"
IN SPIRITED BURLESQUE

TOO often burlesaue comics are
merely chaps who come out to
pass a little time between girl num-
bers, and their antics are relatively
unimportant, but Tommy "Bozo"
Snyder, who brings his Blue Rhythm
Girls" to the Gayety this week, Ger
tainly does not fall in this class.
His inimitable tomfoolery in pam
tomime, which places him right up
at the top among the few really good
burlesque funsters. is displayed this
week in that theater scene, wherein
he sits in the audience" of theater
within a theater and disrupts every
thing and everybody in sight, and
finally ends up by bombarding Max
Coleman's top hat with bags of pea
nuts. In a new skit, "Bozo" plays
barber with disastrous results. Both
are completely hilarious. "Bozo"
should not be passed up.
Harry Bently, Dutch comic, and
Max Coleman, Hebrew character, in
spite of the Snyder competition, man
age to get across some really funny
skits. Don Trent and Bob Roberts
take the straight roles and split the
singing assignments, doing both very
well.
In the feminine half of the cast
are Gertrude Hayes, Billie Hughes,
Dolores Green and June and Margie
White, which is a very acceptable
group of feminine charmerS. Most
approved last night was Miss Hughes,
who has a voice shade on the per-
simmon side, but who also has more
winning personality than any one else
present, and the knack of capturing
the audiences favor. Miss Hayes
helps no little in putting the comedy
into the comedy scenes, being one OF
the best Soubrettes to play the Ninth
street house in a long, long time.
Dolores Green and the White sisters
are standard speciality artists, though
probably easier on the eyes than most
and perform acceptably.
The entire production is lavishly
and attractively staged the chorus
dances in time and in the right di-
rection and the musical score has zip
and zest. All of which makes "Bozo''
Snyder's "Blue Rhythm Girls" very
good burlesque show. H. M.

to display his powers separately

the numbers of yesterdays program
were Schubert's "Impromptu in A

"Soeur Monique," and in addition, the
encores. Chopin's "Polonaise in A

De Falla's Fire Dance" Here was
Iturbi, the creator. the poet, the
idealist.
A S A virtuoso, Mr.. Iturbi played the
"Etudes Symphoniques" of Schu-
mann and the magnificent "Etudes
d'Execution Transcendante" of Liszt,
the "Toccata" of Paradise, and two
numbers of the first group, Handels
air with variations, THE Harmonious
Blacksmith" and Rameau's "Rigau-
don, Musette ct Tambourin," which
could be placed in this class. because
the more delicate points of interpre-
tation were lacking. A resonant
volume of tone, swift and brilliant
runs, trill rare in its exquisite fine
ness and clearness, and splendid
manipulation of phrasing were the
master qualities discovered in this
portion of the program.
The audience was justly enthusiastic
and Mr.. Iturbi was generous in his
response, giving his encores with a
personal pleasure in acceding to the
desire of his listeners to hear more
of his beautiful playing. The most
interesting of his encores, from the
point of view of novelty, was the
