"I thought the attitude reflected In this

' theatrical world long ago," began Mr.
Zukor, of tho Famous Flayers. "Now
that tho greater number of legitimate
, rmnasers are actively participating In
the profits and nrtlstlc development of
,tho screened drama, such a tirade Is
. wildly surprising.
"If, as stated In this article, tho stars

Jiieans that tho legitimate field of dra-
, matlc endeavor will be closed altogether.

appearing In motion pictures wag suc
cessfully contradicted after the first two

proven conclusively that Sarah Bern-

t" "r tina hKKti nrnven to the satisfaction
of the most conservative theatrical man
agers that a star's appcarunce In mo

the film brings tho stars of the oral
stage before a multitude who would never
otherwise have been able to witness their
portrayals, and who are Induced after
their first acquaintance with these stars
through the medium of the screen to
see them In the flesh.
"In this connection tho distinction must
be established between motion pictures
j In tnetr narrow sense ana -pnoiopiuya
'!. which are so closely allied with the orig

CRACKSMEN FOIL
EFFORTS OF POLICE
TO CATCH THEM
Organized Band of Thieves
at Work Here Despite
Warnings of Their Com
ing. Yeggmcn from Now York, against
whom Superintendent of Police Boblnson
hao asked the police of every district
to warn storekeepers, havo for nearly a
month been nt work In this city, and so
far have managed to cludo tho cleverest
traps the combined brains of the police
and detective force can set for them.
The warning of Superintendent Robin
son was Issued Decombcr i. Each blue
coat was Instructed to pay particular at
tention to buildings where there are
safes. The Superintendent said a gang
of cracksmen were In the city, after
being driven out of New York.
Two days later a safe on the second
floor of the Itlkor & Hageman drug store,
1210 Market street, was broken open and
$1600 In cash taken out. The yeggmen
covored their tracks so carefully the
police have no clew to work on.
Tho police confessed they had been out
witted, and -pronounced, .the burglary a
neat job. But their admiration of the
yeggmen'a skill was to assume greater
proportions, for on December 19 n safe
In the toy store of G. A.-" Schwnrz, 1P0U
Chestnut street, was dynamited and ?:500
stolon.
The warehouse of A. Stcrrett, H06 South
Front street, was the Inst place visited.
Tho trouble netted the thieves only J1.12.
On the previous night a band of second-story
men, whom tho police believe
to be a part of the New York yeggmen,
visited 10 houses In Logan, all In the
same block on North Camac street. They
forced their way Into the houses during
the absence of the families and played
the plane, emptied the larder and feasted
bountifully at almost every houso visited.
This dismayed neither Captain of De
tectives Cameron nor Detectives Doyle
nnd Benz. who predicted that the thieves
would bo caught before Ion?.
Philadelphia is not the only city in
thetate that was visited by this band
of expert burglars, they said.
"We do not know the Identity of the
yeggs that are operating In this State,"
said Doyle. "Although we have reason
to believe that these operations are tho
work of the New York mob, the character
of work shows that tho safes were blown
by a separate gang.
"Tho gang of burglars that knock, the
combination off tho safe with a sledge
hammer, as was done at the Rlker &
Hageman drug store, Is known as the
American band. The Irish gang dyna
mite the combination, nnd the Bchwnrs
Job Is on example of this kind or work.
This gang makes Its own nitroglycerin,
while the band known as the Jewish
gang manufactures the section Jimmies
with which It forces open the doors of
the safes. The Italian gang uses a huge
can-opener and pries off the back of a
safe as one would open a tin of sardines.
"We learn that the headquarters of the
latter gang Is really In Chicago, but
where the headquarters of the gang Is
In that city we cannot tell. As soon as
a robbery Is committed, one of the band,
and we have reason to suspect that It
Is a woman, hastens to New York with
th loot and disposes of It at a 'fence.
All the members of these four gangs are
expert mechanics, dui me cievercov
thieves must fall sooner or later.
"We hope that It will be soon."

MUSIC
Yesterday's Concert
The old year ended and tho new year
began for tho patrons of uiubIc In this
city with concerts by tho Philadelphia
Orchtetra, Thursday's concert was bo
J ond criticism In It .circumstances; It
would make a pleasant epigram If ono
could soy that yesterda'a concert was
beyond criticism In its performance. BUt
It would not be -true.
Not that there Is great fault to find
with tho concert. Tho tone of tho strings
In the concerto especially adapted to
their needs was not robust; by some per
vorslty the best Individual effort nnd tho
best ensemble playing of the airings enmu
not In Vivaldi, where It was to havb
been expected, but In the symphony. At
lime In tho latter piece tho rhythm was
Insufficiently held, there were moments
of roughness and still tho moments of
tlulness which beset tho orchestra. To
compensato there wcro long reaches of
excellent playing, and In the largo of
tho symphony and In practically all of
tho Smetana poem tho quality of Inspira
tion and of performance was Irroproacll
nhle. Thero aro times when ono may
quarrel with Mr. Btokowskl'a conceptions
and Interpretations; but It has often boon
remarked that In the reading of any
work which Is thoroughly "people," his
Intultlona and his Judgments aro unerr
ing. Yesterday ho had Dvornk's sym
phony, with Its roots deep In the Negro
soil of our country, and he had "On tho
Banks of the Moldnu" through which
tho stream of common life flows In a
swift nnd tumultuous course. Is It any
wonder that ho triumphed?
Oscar Seagle was tho soloist of the
afternoon. He sang the "Non plu niulral,"
from Mozart's "Mnrrlngo of Figaro," nnd
It cannot bo said that ho sang It well.
Because this aria Is light, becauso It la
the merriest bit of singing In tho Ilteraturo
of opera. It need not bo dashed oft with
out Infinite care. There ore singers who
can take It at tho breakneck daBh It de
mands, yet can make each tono full and
sonorous nnd humorous. Mr. Seagle Is
not yet one of these. His singing was fnr
too easy, his tones not labored enough.
Tho fine rotundity of accents escaped him,
tho richness nnd color of the song were
not there. In the somewhat cryptically
named "Chanson de la Puco." by Mous
sorgsky, his singing partially explained
nnd partially atoned for his provloUH mis
fortune. Ills declamation was excellent,
his voice more powerful and satisfying.

tempt to sing Momrt. It should, perhaps,
bo noted that Mr. Sengle's Voice was thor
oughly pleasing to the ear, and that he
was heartily received.
It Is Intet estlttg to note that when Mous
norgsky appeared, for tho first tlms this
season, oil a Ideal program. It was In a
work that did not represent him, and that
at tho sahio time the orchestra played
"Tho Moldnu," to which Moussorgsky's
preludo to "Chbvantchlna." closely corre
siKinds. There, too, tho river of national
life flows broad nnd deep, and there, too,
the climax comes with tho highest expres
sion of national feeling. It Is the great
ness of mtislcMhat It transcends tho ma
terial It works 'on, ond so makes tho folk
songB of Bohemia or Russia as deeply
moving to foreigners as It docs to those
who sing them.
Ho, an American nudtenco, a thousand

was almost another which Mr. Stokowskl
achieved In conducting It. Thoro wcro
