over the other work which was COM
posed several years ago.
Mr.. Gershwin was literally given an
ovation, and every inducement was
made to have him add another of
his popular numbers as encore. But
the united and genuine applause Of
both orchestra and public only
brought him out to bow his acknowl-
edgements.
THE division of the program, with
= the first part devoted to Vivaldi's
Concerto Crosse in D Minor"
Gluck's "Reigen Seliger Geister'' from
"Orpheus" and Smetana's lovely SYM
phonic poem, THE Moldau." and the
second entirely to Mr.. Gershwin's
compositions, emphasized the differ
ence between the old and the new
with startling clearness.
The orchestra played better than 1t
has in a long time, and the three
numbers for it alone were given with
exceptionally beautiful effects. So
nority and flexibility were united to
poetic sensitivity, so that the read
ings of the orchestral numbers were
richly satisfying, as well as examples
of the interpretive power of symphony
from various angles. Judging the
concert as a whole, it was one of the
best given this year.

CHEMISTRY PLAYS PART
IN GAYETY BURLESQUE
Specialties Contribute Much to
Show, but Comedians Are
Minor Performers.

CHEMISTRY plays an important
part in the best scene of the new
bill that opened at the Gayety yes
terday; but the chemicals known as
pretty girls and good comic lines were
non-existent, hence the reactions
failed to result.
First of the specially dancers to
appear is Patricia Morgan, and most
of the audience seemed to feel that it
was shame she was only called upon
once. She sings burlesque song in
a most effective costume. The others
are Jean Lee, top billing, and Jean
Bodine. They do their jobs with the
competence which develops from long
practice.
This same competence charcaterizes
the comedians who must have begun
practicing their lines when they left
the cradle.
Carlton and Miller are a dance
team that do much to enliven the bill.
Carlton is one of the best acrobatic
dancers seen here in long while, and
her partner, Miller, has a mighty fast
pair of feet to accompany her.
Bobby Herman also does a clever
bit of dancing. His tapping on a
hat top is something to watch.
The chorus, as always, is with us.

screaming Romans and careening
chariots and dressed up to his neck In
elegant togas, with vine leaves looped
above his brow, he scared into the un-
known, scowling at heroines, socking
small children in the teeth, and being
bumped of in every conceivable
manner.
Cortez is a nice person. (He is also,
by the way, appearing at the Earle)
He is tall and thin, has a flush of
health about him, speaks glowingly of
his married life, is a little shy, well
groomed and sticks up handsomely
for Hollywood. He believes his home
town to be modest village, too young
to know really what it's about, and is
heartily ashamed of those so-and-so's
who rant about its idiocyncracies.
Next year he will probably become
o director-his greatest ambition. He
may even become a producer. Right
now he is ree-lancing-and is thus
able to choose and null and ponder
over a role before he accepts it. Qf

WOrkS, proving Lnerepy now eAtcAocu'
Is his musicianship and how valuable
Is his contribution to new musical
form and thought.
Just two years ago to the day,
Ar. Gershwin played his piano Con
certo in r" on the same stage, but
with o different orchestral accom-
paniment. The impression which he
made on his listeners then was one
Of establishment and admiration for
the versatility and seriousness Of the
concerto itself and his own fine pian-
ktic ability. At the second hearing,
yesterday, the first opinion was not
only confirmed, but emphasized
through the increased occasions which
the two years have given to hear more
Of the modern trend in composition.
AS great as has been Mr.. Gersh-
wins public appeal through his lighter
numbers, in which melody and rhythm
predominate, his understanding of or
chestral color and novelty Of invention
Of harmonic effects are of such super
Tor caliber as to place him in the front
rank of American composers of today.
In the concerto, the piano assumes
something Of an obbligato role, the
main interest being centered In the fine
background which he has written for
the orchestra. He has composed so
well and carefully for each section,
achieving a fullness and richness Of
sound, besides arresting combinations
that invite analyses as to his inventive
genius in composition.
r
THE freshness and vitality of his
inspiration seem limitless. Not
only has he produced work Of true
musical worth, but he has increased
the rhythmic speech, using a new
formula which is uniquely his own.
As a pianist, he possesses great facil-
ity, but his talent in this direction
must necessarily give precedence to
his extraordinary gift for compost
ton.
His third role on yesterdays pro-
gram was that Of conductor, when he
took the baton for the direction of
his suite from "Porgy and Bess,' the
opera which was recently given in
New York with outstanding success.
Herein, more than was noticeable in
the piano concerto, the point of weak
ness Of Mr.. Gershwin's ability was
more evident. 1t is, however, hardly
fair to form an opinion on the basis
Of these excerpts which may have
greater significance when connected
with the entire work But from a
first hearing, and coming as it did
after the concerto, one felt a certain
poverty in thought and in expression,
not to be expected from the promises
Of the concerto.
Mr.. Gershwin finds himself, as does
many another modern writer, forced
to reiteration and to a turning around
of the same idea rather than to that
forward urging upon which the music
masters Of other periods seem to build
their works. There are gems of melody
present many times, and the exhilar-
ating lilt Of rhythm, and again the
feeling for orchestral atmosphere, but
there is little advance in form or idea

PLAY IN SIGN LANGUAGE
Faust" Given by Dramatic Club
of Gallaudet.

"EAUST," Gothe's immortal drama
of consuming lust for mental
supremacy and cabalistic compact,
was presented in the language of signs
by the Dramatic Club of Gallaudet
College Saturday evening at Kendall
Green. This unique dramaturgic
undertaking resulted in a wholly
satisfactory product. its silent quality
failing to prove an appreciable de-
traction for the uninitiated members
Of the audience.
From effortless pantomime to malev-
client leer, John Leicht was the per-
feet Mephistopheles. His precise, yet
spirited thinning made one accustomed
to spoken drama feel that the services
of Interpreter Elizabeth Benson could
easily have been dispensed with, in
the case Of the Prince of Darkness.
Miss Benson, by the way, did fine
job, synchronizing her words with
the signs in a commendable fashion
The role Of Margaret was essayed
by Dora Benoit. and hers was a
thoroughly sympathetic characterize
ton, as was that of Lille Zimmerman,
who played Martha. Edward Far
nell, as Faust, rendered an able
portrayal. though he might have
utilized more mobility Of features to
advantage in the later scenes, while
accomplished, II limited, mining was
also offered by Alfred Caliguiri, play
ing Valentine; William McCord and
Leyland Wood.
The aforementioned John Leichr
contributed further to the success
Of the production In the dual capac-
ities of director and stage manager.
Scenery was especially noteworthy,
the drops utilized being authentic
and well-proportioned. Costuming was
superb-a different but completely
acceptable Faust" c. A. M.
