ARTS CLUB SCORES
IN GROUP OF "SHORTS"
One-Act Plays and Readings Well
Presented-To Be Repeated
Tonight.

r EPREsENTING a worthy addi-
ton to the succession of carefully
planned and capably executed enter
tainment programs which have graced
the stage of its intimate theater, the
Arts Club presented two one-act plays
and group of readings last evening
before a crowded house. The names
on the program were familiar, the
bearers of the names remembered for
previous meritorious efforts. Their
participation provided a completely
enjoyable evening of stage diversion.
Shanghai" a short subject" by
w. Stuckes, was intrusted to the tai
ents of quartet of experienced "fea-
ture length" players. Maud Howell
Smith played the proprietress of a
waterfront eating house, augmenting
her income by aiding unpopular skip
pers in obtaining crews. There is a
hysterical outburst at the curtain
when she discovers that she has
drugged her long-lost son, sent him
back to sea-and Maud Howell Smith
can do justice to hysterical outbursts.
Anne Ives was bitter waitress. Ade-
quate in their bits were Maurice Jar
Wis and Murray Sheehan. Direction
was by Helen Goodhue.
Smiling Janet Coon was response
BILE for large slice of the program.
Acceptable feminine whistlers are few
Miss Coon should rate close to the
top in this select company. Among
her readings was dramatic interlude
incorporating the poems, Maker Of
Dreams" and The Soldier" Among
the moderns, she chose Sandburg's s
Jazz Fantasia" for particular atten-
ton. The extensive array of items
included also clever impression of
very young man 'Mindin' the
Baby" Miss Coon put on a smooth
performance and in the argot of COM
mercial stagecraft, she knows how to
"sell her stuff"
The program, to be repeated to-
night at $50, was completed by Sui
eide" absurdly humorous treatment
of the self-destruction theme, with
no one getting hurt except by Cupid S
darts. Ben Smart, Betty Sypher and
Hollis Schneider made the ridiculous
business amusing. Marie Moore For
rest directed. c. A. M.

It's All Art
In the. Case
OF Mr.. Feher
"Robber Symphony
Picture Maker
Likes Music.

w YITH which would you rather
n work-music or the movies?
wv That was the question
some one shot at Mr.. Fred
erick Feher Monday afternoon at the
Maynower Hotel, where the man re-
sponsible for THE Robbie. Symphony"
was telling of -the-record tales OF
certain difficulties to the local press.
His answer was immediate and def
mite.
"Music!" he said, as if the lad who
asked the question were not quite in
his right mind. Movies, pfaah!
They're all right, OF course, but for
the artist there is only music. Mr..
Feher has been making movies since
1903.
Mr.. Feher Is an artist all right.
Whenever there arises the question
of money or art, it is art first and
phooey to the cash. Feher is bring
ing his motion picture, The Robber
Symphony" to Washington for its
first showing outside of New York,
accompanied by a 60-piece orchestra,
which will play an overture of ex-
cerpts from the musical score.
He's doing this same thing in just
few other cities-accompanying his
film with this full symphony. 1t
costs money, but Feher says he does
not care. 1t is art. Besides, he fig
ures this will serve as profitable
advertisement before the film is
shown in regular releases without
the orchestra.
Feher composed the musical score
for The Robber Symphony" and
himself conducted the symphony or
chestra which recorded it. The story,
he promises, is a sort of mad fan
tasy that you will like thoroughly If
you still have the proper childlike
simplicity in your soul and have not
been SCARED by sophistication in too
lareg quantities.
It's whimsical fairy tale of little
boys dream, and the story and the
picture were designed to At the
rhythm and melody of the music.
There are only $50 words of English
dialogue There are only $50 words
of any kind of dialogue, for that
matter.
Mr.. Feher brings his "Robber SYM
phony' to the Rialto Saturday, a fact
which no doubt should have been
mentioned long ago in this piece.
