guest, and Felix accepted. The
two men babe Ellen good night,
went together to retire. In the
darkness again-and in his double
bed beside Felix-Bill grinned
broadly, at himself. Anyhow, he
thought as he felt sleep coming,
she can't elope with him tonight!
Ellen was up with the sun and
had sent the lad Pablo Rivera
down to invite both Bill and Felix
to breakfast. They accepted, of
course.
"It is an honor to have you visit
Casa Hermosa," Ellen repeated,
over their grapefruit. "And to be
serenaded like marvellous!
You will stay at least a week,
Felix? Say you will"
Bill could have kicked her. But
he didn't. He squelched his hon
esty again.
"Sure, surew he doomed. "You
must stay, Felix. We've been
building Ellen a real rancho here.
Want to show you my feed expert
ments, and the weight tests. Wish
you could have brought your par
ents. And your sister. We need
more company here. You'll have
to stay!"
Whether he meant it or not, he
sounded sincere. Felix glowed I'M
der the welcome-and promptly
accepted!
It wasn't so terrible, at first, Bill
admitted. Felix brought a change
in the routine of hard work. Bill
could delegate his immediate du-
ties to some Of the other cowboys
while he rode with Felix and Ellen
out to see the main herd and to
inspect the smaller groups Of test
cattle.
They dismounted in one pasture,
some two miles from the house,
when they came onto a tiny calf
lying alone in the grass. The
mother was nowhere in sight.
Ellen petted the calf and talked
baby-talk to it. Bill promised she
should have it at home for per-
sonal pet. He carried it home for
her then, in his arms as he rode.
They inspected a site which Bill
had tentatively chosen near the
house for swimming pool, to be
excavated and made of natural
rock in the mountain stream by
next summer. Then Bill tactfully
pleaded duty with the cowboys,
and left Felix and Ellen to them
selves.
The two stayed together prac-
tically all the time during the en-
suing days. Buckshot Brown
turned positively sullen about it..
Bill had to pay a diplomatic call
on the old man, and suggest quiet
ly that Felix ought to have a lot of
figurative rope. Maybe, thereby,
he would hang himself, Bill hoped.
The guest was a little too perfect,
and Ellen as bound to see a light,
the two n n decided.
IF Ellen ever saw a light, though.

Jack Diamonds Wit
Brightens Gayety

Two things there are, at least, to
ret Ommend the new show at Jimmy
Lakes Gayety Theater, and there
is improvement over a few past
weeks noted In all the business on
that hallowed stage. Improvement,
that Is, in all departments except
the corps de ballet, which is slightly
out de step, what with the throes
OF q new show and all. The items
to be especially recommended are
that novelty Of Alma Bray's and all
OF Jack Diamonds comedy. Miss
Bray's stock in trade Is that routine
which made Commissioner Moss so
unhappy up in New York a while
back, but Miss Bray is different.
Miss Bray Is different on account
OF she does her s-teasing the hard
way, while swinging on q trapeze
and engaging in various acrobatics
which go hand in hand with swing
ing on trapezes. Why, it is prac-
tically spectacular.
Mr.. Diamond, Of course, is one
OF the funniest citizens on this or
any other burlesque circuit. He is
funny even when he is just stand
ing IN quiet repose. You look at
him and you laugh. And he Ger
tainly knows how to make some of
these familiar burlesque scenes
funny all over again-maybe even

|Paderewski's Film
Back at Belasco

At the Belasco Theater now YOU
may again see Ignace Jan Paderew-
ski in his first, and so far only,
screen performance, Moonlight
Sonata" just to get the sadder de-
tails out of the way at the outset,
Is no epic of cinema story telling.
1t Is, aside from Mr.. Paderewski's
contributions, a rather ordinary tale
about girl who almost was bagged
by a fortune hunter, but who finally
went back to the nice lad she never
should have left in the first place.
1t is played passably we'll by Charles
Farrell and some other people, in
Guiding Marie Tempest, but that is
about all you can say for it.
That is not all that can be said,
however, for the Paderewski con-
tributions. The presence of the
master of the piano in the picture
makes Moonlight Sonata" some
thing that should be seen and prob
ably will be seen, not once but again
and again, by all music lovers. For
every time the story gives indica-
tions Of becoming boring Mr.. Pad
erewski sits down at piano. Then
there is excitement to drive any
shadow Of boredom away.
The musical score of Moonlight
Sonata" gives Mr.. Paderewski op-
portunity to play the Beethoven Sc
lection several times and includes
in addition Franz Liszt's Second
Hungarian Rhapsody" Chopin s
''Polonaise in "A Flat" and the great
artists own "Minuet in G." That
is a lot of fine music for one motion
picture to boast and with Paderew-
ski playing 1t, it is treat not to
be passed up. H. M.

By ALICE EVERSMAN.

That the popularity Of the famous
Don Cossack Russian Male Chorus
does not diminish as the years pass
was attested to yesterday afternoon,
when their recital in Constitution
Hall again drew a packed house.
Year after year this group of former
Russian officers has been presented
by Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey to an
increasing audience which
finds in the special art which Serge
Jaroff, the conductor, has made
synonymous with the Don Cossack
Chorus, the epitome of fine sing
ing and good entertainment.
There was marked improvement
to be found in the work of the group
over last year, although it would
seem that improvement was hardly
possible. The darker voices are
richer than ever and the tenors of
much finer caliber than has lately
been the case. In the latter the
greatest progress has been made, for
the voices are sweet and pure and
there is less need for the use Of
falsetto for effects. The remarkable
tonal range represented by the
singers is astonishing and the en-
semble of voices has quality unique
and stirring.
And they are all splendid musi-
clans, If not with the foundation
that comes from a lifetime of music
study at least with great basic
musical sense, intelligently directed
and cultivated. For the music they
sing, a cappella, is difficult as to
intonation and varying kinds Of
tempt, while the color effects which
Mr.. Jarof demands of them re-
quire senSitiveness and understand
ing to accomplish. In spite of the
military precision which animates
the group, there is great flexibility
and warmth in their interpretations
Yesterdays program was seri-
GUS one having but a few of those
amusing songs or fiery soldier bal
lads that no other group could pos
sibly initiate. They began, as usual,
with sacred songs, a beautiful setting
of the Twenty-second Psalm which
sounded so noble in the rich tones
of these men, a softly intoned
"Cherub Song" and an impressive
excerpt from the burial service of
the Russian Church. Following was
hymn in praise of the Holy Vir-
gin, Ever vigilant in her Prayers" :"
concluding with the extremely beau
tiful THE Lords Name Be Blessed"
by TscheSnokoff.
This year, throughout the world
where Russians of the old regime
live, is being celebrated the 950th
anniversary of the baptism of Rus
sia in the Christian faith. In honor
of this, cantata by K. Schwedoff
was sung yesterday which repre-
sented "a glorification of the de-
tenders and builders OF the Rus
sian Empire" In this most preten-
tious work on the program, all the
various elements of Russian life
were welded together and great
events commemorated in music, the
whole reaching a moving climax
in the softly intoned melancholy

Don Cossack Chorus Better
Since Last Appearance Here
Darker Voices Are Richer, Tenors
Are of Much Finer Caliber and Group
Has Greater Tonal Range.

Andante Cantabile of Tschaikow-
sky's Fifth Symphony"
Possibly the loveliest number on
the program was Those Evening
Bells" by Mr.. Jaroff. With the ring
ing of bell being softly sounded by
the deeper voices of the group and
the creation of quiet evening at
mosphere through the faint hum
ming Of the rest of the chorus, a
single tenor voice sang with touch
ing meaning the words of the song.
1t is in songs of this type that the
Don Cossacks excel, where effects
usually assigned to an orchestra are
done by human voices.
After these numbers where the
artistry of the chorus shone with
exceptional distinction, the re-
mainder Of the program was given
over to lighter songs where every
kind of color was accomplished with
original vocal means. The last num-
Der was enlivened by two skillful
Russian dancers who, however,
could not be enticed into a repeti-
tion Of their dance in spite of the
widest applause. Encores by the
singers were kept until the end of
the program although the enthu-
siasm of the audience warranted a
second performance of several of
the. numbers.
