In front was Glenn Darwin, baritone,
the soloist Of the occasion. Then the
door on the side opened and the vet
eran orchestra leader made his way
to the podium, while the orchestra and
audience rose to their feet, welcom-
ing him with noisy handclapping. The
expectancy and the welcome both tes-
tilted to the esteem In which DR.. DAM
rosch u held in his long service to
music IN this country.
The hrst Of DR.. Damrosch's number
to be heard was AN Abraham Lin
coin Song" the music set to Walt
Whitman's poem, 20 Captain, My
Captain" with choral and solo assist
ants. The premiere was given in 1886
in the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York. but yesterdays perform
ance was especially significant. Not
many blocks from where Lincoln died
and within q short distance OF the
White House, where he fulfilled his
destiny as President. and from the
memorial erected to his greatness
this song" was first heard in the
city which knew him we'll but q few
weeks before the 129th anniversary
Of his birth.
In this same city the great Amer
lean poet, Walt Whitman, who waa
born 10 years after Lincoln, served
firSt as . hospital nurse during the
Civil War and later As q Government
clerk. During this time he continued
to add to and revise his first poetic
output, Leaves of Grass" and in the
preface Of his work he writes Of the
people Of this country: Their Pres
idents shall not be their common
referee so much as their poets shall, u
concluding with THE soul Of the
largest and the wealthiest and proud
est nation may we'll go halfway to
meet that Of its poets"
Truly and deeply American in
spirit, the poet has written into his
verse his faith in the power Of his
people to conquer sorrow and to come
in with object won." and in keeping
with this mood Is the musical setting
which DR.. Damrosch has given it. 1t
Is drama voiced in blended orchestral
effects. in the tragic solo measures
and the answering voices OF the
chorus. And intensely dramatic is
the sounding OF Taps" off stage as
the last note Of the composition. The
orchestra gave q vital reading to the
interesting score, while the choral
groups and Glenn Darwin. the soloist,
augmented the powerful effect through
the variety Of shading and the depth
Of sentiment which they put into it.
Mr.. Darwin has a beautiful and ex-
pressive voice, which lends itself with
equal ease to the requirements of dra-
matte singing. as in the Song" and

M talked-of French film,
w dealing with a subject
much too mature for

American premiere at the Little The

concerned is that OF the malad lust
ment in the marital affairs Of a pair
OF glowing newlyweds after the honey
moon ends in an automobile accident
which leaves the husband paralyzed.
While its producers have essayed to
face the facts frankly, they have given
careful consideration to the matter of
handling their adult story artistically.
Whatever the individual movie-goer

emotional effects of the mishap upon
the happiness Of beautiful Jeanne St.
Clair and her pitiable husband Henri.
An amazing array of symbols is util-
lied in relating the story OF the wifes
gradual decentralization and her hus-
bands suicidal despair. And, let it be
said at once that the symbols are
much more intelligently conceived
and photographed than in comparable
f1lm products from abroad. They
contribute a significant volume Of dig
nifty to the treatment Of a subject that
is not invariably handled with dignity.
Intelligent playing and direction,
obvious in every foot of the Aim, also
enhance its appeal to the adult mind.
The photography OF whirlpool" is

dared to experiment with the camera
