The Reaclliifr-Cninden flacco nf .Sat urday night brought up the stormiest meetlus ever held by the organization. It took the agitated magnates nearly four hourn nt the Bingham Hotel hint night to decide upon the labile nt stake, and even then the dqelslon did nut result satisfactorily to all. Kach club was lined $l!r for the affair of Saturday nlBht, this being the extreme penalty which tlie league president could Inflict. I.ach club tried lo place the blame upon Urn other for the affair, but I'amden probably bad a better itund to fall back upon than Heading. Tho Camden men admitted they had engaged Sliiblral I'und Hall and completed arrange ment; for the gome wllh Heading's conwnt. and that they had aleo opened the doors ot tho hall after being Informed that Itiadlng did not Intend to perforin. Hut most of the league magnates decided that Camden, was within Its right on this matter and that Heading should have played tha Mime despite the alleged vio lated agreement which tho Iloarj claimed had kept them away from Philadelphia. Hut when a motion was made to hae the game stand ns a regularly scheduled one the to ended In a t'.e and was subH-viuemly lost. Then a motion wns put to have tho champlon bln season declared closed and this also ended In a tie. but the I'halr decided thai the rij.'o hud ended In a deadlock, and this decision carried with it the tled-up championship be tween the two clubs, which will bao to be carried over until nest year.

The theme of "My I'ucle U-h" Is that ot mistaken Identity, in which Mr. Daniels Is seen as an escaped Jailbird and In which he Is given opportunity to "put over" In his peculiar style tlie subtle mannerisms that have caused countless audiences to laugh.

Notice will be taken of new records and rolls and of new inventions or improvements in in struments. The editor of tho department will gladly answer all questions. Itccords appropriate to Holy Week are lu KKnt favor tills week, and it Is really remarkable how wide a selection of both vocal and Instrumental music, apparently made especially for this season, one can Ket. Tho sacred cantatas, particularly the "Elijah," which was sung here last week by the Choral Society, and "Tho Messiah," siinir here earlier In the season, provide a number of splendid records. Tlie a "Hallelujah chorus," played by Creat'oie's Band, Is listed by tho Columbia fiom "The Messiah," as well us a num ber of others. Particularly appropriate Is a now recordintf announced by the Vlct'ir Company, the "InBemlsco," from Verdi's "Heniilem," sunir by Knrlco Ca ruso. Tim "Ileruilem" was composed In lienor or .M.mi'oiii. nut tne reusiotis reei ln is so dorp, and the musical expres uion so great. Hint this tenor solo Is nlmost the standard of penitential music Tho slmslnir Is by Caiusn, so there Is very little to bo said of it. one way or another. All Ihe companies, of course, have "Tho l'altns," a seasonal favorite, nnd munv "Avo Marias," Including' the famous tlacli. Gounod, which appeared a month ago In a new making" hy two splendid nrtlsta. Fritz Krelsler and John McCormack (Victor). Among other rec ords which will bo found particularly iiunealiiii; nt this time, there nio a num ber ot sacred selections by Caruso on the Victor. The liplscopal Litany Service, ainiK by the Hoys' Choir of St. I.uke the KvatiRcllst (Columbia); the "Holy City," on all th well-known records, and, of course, a great many which Individual taste will suggest as appropriate. The Kdlson list for this week Is not jet pub lic, so apart from the previous recordings made of l.'aster music. It cannot be said what that company's records may hold. Odd Instruments People do not always leallze how their Interests can be extended, with pleasure, too, by the use of a phonograph, The Industry Is so far developed that you can get records In any language from Turk ish to Hawaiian. But beyond that, the various companies making records find It agreeable to exploit odd Instruments, Thus one company has an expert celesta player. The celesta Is an Instrument with a piano keyboard, very restricted In com pass, which gives forth a Very beautiful sound like that of a silver bell. It Is fre quently used tn orchestras, where Its place may be taken by a harp. But alone It la almost unknown, and It la something of a treat to hear it. Another Instrument, with which one doesn't associate pre cisely the most classic, music, Is the ac cordion. Yet It has been used for some thing like a hundred years by simple minded people who wanted a rich full sound and great expressiveness In an In strument which they could play them selves. The accordion played by a. mas ter now has Its place on the phonograph Eventually all the instruments of our time will be recprdd, and we will not be at a loss concerning the exist sounds who enjoys the distinction of having been associated with Hnrrlgan nml Mart for over 23 years. Mr. Fisher's special forte Is character, and he la proving as excop- tlonal a screen actor as when playing directly to nn audience.

Thurston at the Walnut Americans may be sophisticated, but it ' seems that they can never become blase ' to such a point that lliey will not troop ' away from a performance of legeidmaJn assuring one another that It was pei fcctly wonderful, and speculating ns Io whether the rnbblls were concealed In Ihe magician's cuffs or sneaked In from be- hind tho wings. Thurston, master of tricks nnd Illusions, appeared. at the Wal nut Street Theatre last nlRlit and enter- ' tuition nn audience In which children scarcely outdid their ldeis In frank en joyment. The performance gave rise to nil the queries unil speculation and wonderment without which no demonstration of magic could be genuine, as all who know re member the first time they sat,' open mouthed, to see nn egg drawn from nn empty hut and a white rabbit pulled out of tho coat of tho stout old gentleman j who bail ventured too near the stage. I Added to nil the expected slelght-of-htuid ! experiments of the disconcertingly simple sort wcio nn assortment of now fentuics which deserved to bo culled problems rather than incro tricks. Thurston's effects with disappearing and reappearing persons weie (he most .urpilslng and divcitlng or his varied proginm. lu this class were Ihe "vain pile," who Mailed as a la' and a bone and a IiiiiiU or hair supported on a tripod and became, when clothed, a very hvo woman: the "lady anil the lion," In wli'ch a lioness and u girl exchanged esges. and tlie Until act, which In ought something unexpected mot lo tell too mucin out uf a box which had been sus pended from Ihe ceiling of the theatre. llesldes the levltutlon experiment, made to appear real Indeed, when a hoop which had been passed around the body or a glil In midair, who had no appaieiil sup pnit, .ii handed lo the audience to assino tho skeptical that It was it rcii ulne hoop. Hie proginm boasled an un usually entertaining act called "Tlie Phantoms or a Parisian Studio." In this feature, arranged by Mr. Thurston, I men turn Into women, become masculine again and then disappear Into space, wllh' such swiftness that the average man finds himself wondering about It all the way homo. And to make the "wonder how" part of the evening's diveitlseinent complete, there whs Ihe customary speculation as to whether the folk who wenl on the stag., were leal, honest Iniiti patrons, or Just hired.

Hut it is a great pity thnt the phonograph came too late to immortalize these old instruments, and the present age Is very lucky lo know that Its favorltn mechanisms of music will not bo forgotten. New Records The Victor list Is the only new one of the week. Its "best bets," according to expert BHleamen. Include, among popular songs, "Sweet Kentucky l.ady," which has a very clever Introduction of "My Old Kentucky Home" and "The Little House Upon the Mil"; among dance rec ords there is the "Tip-top Medley Fox Trot," played on tlie accordion by Plctio Delro, and "Alohe O." a Hawaiian med ley, played by the Victor Hand, but giv ing some Idea of the Hawaiian harmonies. The operatic recoids Include selections from "Travlata," and for classical music tlteie Is Hie completion of tlie Mozart Jupiter Symphons. "Chln-Chln." which seemed to be the best seller In Edison. Columbia and Victor recordings last month, continues to get Itself on the discs; this time Margaret Ttomalne sings "The Grey Dove." There are also a number of records made by famous sing ers. The Caruso "Ingemlsco" has already been mentioned above. Alma GHuck, who sang in this city early In the musical sea son, bus made a record of Unendel'a "Oh, Sleep! "Why Dost Thou Leave Me?" Johanna Qadski sings the song which always thrills hearts In the Vaterland, "Die Waoht Am llheln," and there Is a remarkable duet by Louise Homer and Geraldlne Farrar. It Is called "Alia Capanna Aiidlamo," and the composer's name, Campana, sounds like a part of the title. Tlie run of Miss Farrar's lighter voice over Mate. Homer's sweet low con tralto Is reajly delightful. Some New Rolls The competition between tlie makers of music rolls and of phonograph records sometimes becomes very acute. Fre quently, strange as It may Becm, the roll manufactuiers get ahead. Or course, jn certain fields they are naturally first classical music, for example. In that de. partment this montli will bring Glazou uow's "Sonata Mo. 1," In B flat; the sec ond movement of Schubert's loyely Seventh Symphony, and Beethoven's "Sonata No. J," In K flat. Teachers of music, and mothers who have to keep their children practicing, will be quick to realize how valuable these and simitar recordings are. It used to be a slock criticism of "canned" piano music that, if you had the things on (he rolls, you wouldn't care to learn to play yourself. Precisely the opposite Is true. The roll, especially the roll prepared by a master artist, Is tlie highest Incentive to learn ing to play. And more than that. It Is a practical matter. Because, In your own home, at your Immediate disposal, you have a splendid teacher, whom you can turn on or off at will- Play the roll over, listen carefully as you play it. and then when you come to play the thing yourself you will nud that a great many unsus pected beauties linger in the music, whjeh the formerly despised roll alone has brought to lljht. oLtisri 30, 19:15. , i j i I THE THEATRE f aL A T lT saTH ftflKN??M3a3KW kwKmW jUajsasska J iMaWLBaaVsaiaiaisW ETHEL BARRYMORE Perhaps no popular actress has been mole photographed than Ethel Harr.t tnore, whom Phllndelphlii Is to see in Iter new plfl.i, "Tlie Shadow," next Mon day, but the unninL plctuie above as sumes liuporlanie and Interest, liecaui-c It pictures this charming player In the lltst inle ever entrusled to her with "lines. -" Mi's Harr.vmore had Just left lliilshlns school hcte in rhllatlelphin, Notre name, and In her earlv 'teens, nfter miitli pleading nnd coaxing, she had persuaded her uncle.

If you can Imagine taking a whole musical comedy and putting It In side ' a vaudeville act, then udd halt a dozen acts to that, you will get a faint Idea of the Hoffmann offerlns. There aie about two score of performers, tnontly pretty girls, and the scenes shirt from one ! part ot the world to the other with be wildering rapldlt and costumes change lust as often. They are the last woids lu style nnd extravagance, and ut time, when they are sea ice, It Is lu keeping with the environment. Mls Hoffmann Is tha dominating figure throughout.

A jcene In a beauty parlor followed and then a transformation Io the famous Moulin Rouge In Pavls. While this was In ptogtess a Zeppelin came along ani bomb.-irded the city, but the show kept right on. A dozen girls, who played bells on thcli aims u"il legs and an Isadore lJuncan nature dance with the star and a bevy of nymphs, completed the Hoff mann act Refold this there was another vaudeville allow of considerable merit. John C. Ttlce and Sally Cohen, two famous Phlladel phlans, presented "An Early Breakfast, ' which wii wholesome as to comedy and very digestible otherwise. Chieftain Cau pollc.in, a real Indian singer and orator, won cordial appreciation; Morris Cronln and Ills Merry Men in club swinging and comedy; the Jordan Girl, pretty wire walkers, and Hellcv, the man with a musical face, also made a favorable im pression. Here and There Cleuty of action, music and fun made "A Night on the Boulevard," the head line attraction at the William I'emi, a highly worthy feature. The act Is pre sented by the Three Langdons, who know how to obtain laughs at the right spots. Fionie Millershlp, who was formerly as sociated with Harry Fox and Bobby Heath, sung a number of up-to-date songs in a captivating manner. Long, lean nnd lanky Joe Lnnlgau had a Hue of comedy lu keeping witli his height, nnd kept the audience in merry mood. Wallace, Bradley and Norrls, Francis and Hose and Mallla and Bart also won approval. The ability to sing good tongs effective ly made Julietta Dlka a favorite at the Cross Keys. Site wore handsome gown and "put over" a line of comedy which was In keeping with her temperament. Qutnn and Mitchell, two Phlladelphtans, told of the troubles of building operations and greatly enlivened the proceedings. Ward No. 22 also proved to be a laugh getter of the hilarious type. Good acts were alto presented by Murray Bennett, Harry Sullivan and Fsrd and Anna Pelot. Bert l-vy, who It Just at good a lec turer and comedian as he Is an artist, won a cordial reception at the Nixon Grand. Ms comedy, Ilk hla sketches, was short and to the point, A number of monkeys and birds supplied tha comedy and surprise In "Roosevelt In Africa," an offering presented by Arthur Huston and company. The troubles ot a Jad" doctor were explained by Beaumont and Arnold, who also presented tome artistic dancing. Kiuka Panna, Brooks and Bowen and Captain Jack Barnett and sou also won appreciation In interesting num bers. The pictures were In keeping with the show, , There is a laugh a minute In "The Piano Movers," offered by McDevitt, Kelley and Lucey at the, Globe. The Xun Is mingled with good music and dancing, and If there is a plot It was lost at the outset of the trouble. Dalty Harcourt sang dainty songs in an effective manner and pleated those assembled.
