-Mr. Wilt C Mncfarlaue, municipal or
ganist of Portland, Me., gave an orgnn
recital at Lyndon, the homo of Mr. nnd
Mrs. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, last night The
recital, In which Mr. Jrnn P. Braun
shared, wns for tho benefit of tho Settle
ment Musical School, and waa generously
patronized.
Mr. Mncfarlano properly began his work
with Uach, choosing the "Toccata and
Fuguo In D minor." It wna right that
for tho organ, with Its ecclesiastical as
sociations, the work of that composor
should first appear who had tho clear
est vision of holiness, and whose music.
In Its terrible complexities of technique,
remains grandly simple and moving In
foellng. Tho quality of precision nnd
tho quality of dollcacy, often considered
Incompatible, wero both demanded by tho
work; Mr. Macfarlano gave It both In
their highest degreeB. Tho "Scotch
Fantasia" of his own is composed on
Scottish airs, ns ono would expect. Yet
It Is not morely a medley bocauso tho
composor has mado Ids transitions
through tho medium of themes whloh
possess the characteristic "snap" of all
Scottish music. A work so Involved In
rcmlnlscenco defies criticism, but among
Its pleasures ono may noto tho figuration
of "Annlo Laurie" In the basH against a
high fantastic treblo of "Comln' Thru the
Hye."
Mr. Mncfarlnno's further pieces were
familiar the Hnendel "Largo," Schu
bert's "Avo Maria," Qtillmnnt's baroque,
"Mnrcho Funebro," and Meyerbeer's gran
diose, "Coronation March." Tho deli
cacy of Mr. Macfarlane's attack wns fur
ther shown In the encores ho played, one
of thvm being n mlnuetto mndo familiar
to many through tho violin of Mlscha
Elman.
Mr. Macfarlano provided also tho ac
companiment for the songs sung by Mr.
Uraun. Tho varying moods of "Adelaide"
were spoken with good volco nnd flno
lyric diction. Mr. lirnun's greater sing
ing enrao In his "Trneumc," which he
gavo ns on encoro to n group of Scottish
nnd old English songs. In his singing
of the Loch Lomond" and tho "March
of the Cameron Men" tho volco Itself, no
less than the words, made one "hear tho
pibroch sounding, sounding, decpor than
mountain and glen." "Traoumo," In an
other mood, wns sung with Just under
standing and feeling.
Young People's Concert
The fourth of tho oxcellent series of
concerts for young pcoplo was given yes
terday afternoon at the Little Theatre.
Tho lecture, by Miss Florence Leonard,
and the Illustrative oxcerpts and arrange
ments played by members of tho Phila
delphia Orchestra, ilmlt with tho enlariro- I
ment of the uses of tho Individual In- '
strumonts, tho naturo of which hud been
previously considered. Tho low voices of
Btrltigs nnd wind, nnd tho tympnnl wero
added In this concert, and the work of
Beethoven and Wagner, ns contrasted
with Mozart and other older masters, In
dicated the progress mado In modern
orchcstrntlon. Tho passages chosen for
Illustration showed excellent discretion.
It should bo noted thnt this la part of
tho work of Miss Leonard, not of Mr,
Horner, as was previously stated here.
Mr. Horner Is, In fnct, the musical direc
tor of those concerts. It may bo ropoatod
that, nlthough they are particularly
adapted to young people, the concerts con
tain much thnt Interests and profits all
those to whom the technical side of the
orchestra romalnB something of a hidden
wonder.
"The Mnglc Flute"
Tho IGOth nnnlversnry of Mozart's birth
wns celebrated last night with n splendid
performance of tho composer's over de
lightful "The Maglo Flute" by tho
BchrenB Opera Club In tho Academy of
Music. Cast finely, well-trained nnd with
evident choral nnd orchestral forces tho
performance was satisfactory In every es
sential detail. Only mechanically did It
fall, duo to lapses on. tho parts of tho
electrician nnd stngo enrpenter.
Donald Bedding was a most pleasing
Papagono. He sang tho Jovial part with
a fine appreciation of tho musical nnd
humorous possibilities. Miss Mnv Farley
mado a charming Pamlna. With Mr. Bed
ding sho maintained a high stnndnrd of
vocal and histrionic excellence, raul J.
Breedy was a very good Tamlno vocally,
while as "Queen of tho Night" Miss Viola
Brodbeck successfully sang tho difficult
coloratura role which has been the down
fall of much wider known artists. Her
bravura was especially commendable.
Mrs. Florence Crnnmer as Arctusa, Bu
dolph Sternberg ns Parnstro nnd Boyal L.
MncLellan as the dusky Monastados wero
all good In tho other principal roles. Lud
wlg Schmldt-Fabrl conducted with spirit,
nevor permitting the nctlon to drag.
Fully ns entertnlnlng was the dancing
In "Die Puppenfoe," which preceded the
opera, Tho largo enst wns gorgeously
costumed and presented a very attractive
picture. The dancing was exquisite.
Worthy of especial mention were Miss
Florence Huet nnd Miss Leslie Kelly, two
diminutive too-dancors: Miss Alice Har
ris, ns the curious, delighted llttlo girl
In tho tovshop: Miss Lillian Pile nnd
Miss Ida Whltnker, ns the old-fashioned
dolls; Miss Dorothy Miller, aB the fairy
doll: C Dllwood Carpenter, Jr., Harlequin,
nnd C. Ellwood Carpenter, the shopkeeper.
Tho group of Spanish dolls pleased best of
nil by their spirited, graceful dancing. Mr,
Carpenter staged the ballet, which was
conducted by John Curtis. Jr.
Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann." con
ducted by Cesaro Sturnnt, formerly con
ductor of the Metropolitan Opera House,
will be the next opera, April 27.

TKANnQKSBB'B GREATEST P1I0T0FHAY
Walter Prlchnrd Eaton, In tho current
Atlantic, gives vent to n pessimistic
plaint on the submergence of the theatre
because of tho voguo of tho movies. Mr.
Eaton discusses the psychological nnd
material aspect of the chango of public
favor from tho speaking stage to tho
silent, thus:
It Is a matter of history thnt periods
of great national attainment liavo
coincided with n national drama.
Shakespeare and Drake went hand-In-hand.
Ibsen Is coincident with
modern Norway. Franco has nlwnys
held tho drama close to the national
consciousness. Italy has a national
opera. We liavo none of theso and
as yet no body of American ilranm
worthy of tho name.
There aro well-written plays by
Americans, but thoy turn on plot, and
have no serious purpose. They do
not have the people to appeal to. A
theatre without n gallery menns n
drnma without a soul. Those that do
not havo to work for a living lack
solidarity of view which neither sym
pathy, good Intentions nor moral
character can supply. The wage
earners ot n nation who llvo oloso to
tho stern realities of life supply an
eloment that tho drama needs. Hut
they havo left the theatre for tho
movies, nnd wo have on tho stngo
sophistication, whllo all tho tlmo Is
growing n sense of class conscious
ness. The proletariat or mass H shut
Out and flocks by Itself.
Thero can bo no Bernhardt In tile
movies, no Booth nor Jefferson, no Gil
bert nnd Sullivan, no Julia Mnrlowe. no
Mrs. Flske.
The motion plcturo Is nearly mechnnl
enl. It Is like scelnir thing through a
glass where nothing can be heard. There
Is no roll of poetry In our ears, no rnttlo

of Intellectual reflection on tho concrete
fcts of llfo, nor glamour of beauty of
stage pictures, Thero wo havo novcr
grown sad with Booth nor laughed with
Jefferson nor known tho fovcr nnd tho
hoartacho of romantic love with Miss
Marlowo on Juliet's balcony. Thero Is
no co-operation between actor and audi
ence ns in a lino play.
All this Is so because, tho theatre Is
the product of competitive capitalism,
while tho movies havo drawn off the best
part of tho audience. Hcnco our theatres
nre mcro drawing rooms, appealing to the
sophisticated rich whllo tho rich heart
nnd soul of tho nation go to tho movies
nnd nro deprived of tho best part of the
utnina.
"Why Hart Went to School
"Why I Went to School" Is tho title of
one of William S. Hart's bost stories. He
hasn't put It Into print yet, but tho actor
has a way of telling It that makes It
Beem worth printing.
"When I was about 12 years old," Mr
Hnrt says, "I was Just a great big,
gawky kid who wouldn't go to school. I
thought I preferrod to work in the fields,
for I wns living in North Dakota. So
my father got mo a Job on my uncle's
ranch 12 miles from my home.
"One night after a hard day's work my
aunt came rushing Into my bedroom nnd
awakened mo with a stnrt. 'Hurry up,
lad.' she said, "they're killing your
uncle. Go out to the barn, get a horse
nnd ride for holp.' Tho 'thoy' she re
ferred to consisted of a lot of ex-bad men
grnngers, thoy called them who wero
working on tho ranch. They had har
bored n grudge against my undo and had
taken him that night to tho nearest tree.

Tho constable drovo to tho estate o
fnBt as his onc-horso shay would take)
him, and there he found Pearsall a pltl

UOW worth of them!" crlod tho constable
"No, but thoro was more'n $10 'Worth,"
wopt tlio superintendent, "and If there!

"Well, then, you leave half them eggi
