'r .: r: Hfte Evening Ledger Amusement Section, Saturday, October 16, 1915 yet each composed of players familiar and pleasantly remembered, announce their cxlatenco and their plana this aen aon The BlchKlndler-Hammann trio, of violin, violoncello and piano, respectively. Is to give a "aalon aeries" of concerts under what Is said to be prominent social patronage, and will also Rive recitals at the Cllrla High School and at Drexel In stitute. This group Is under the man agement of Mrs, Helen Pulaakl Inncs. He first appearance will be on November 11. The second group, more unusual In the life of Philadelphia, la tho Maquarre Ensemble, announced by Arthur Judaon, manager of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The two recitals thus far arranged are nt Wltherspoon Hall November 18 and February 3. Full particulars concerning the opera seasons for this city arc not yet avail able. It Is to be expected that when Mr. Rablnoff brings" his company here he will offer Anna Pavlowa In "Tho Dumb Olrl of Portlcl," Aubcrs strange work, which Is so admirably fitted to presentation with a non-slnglng star. With Zcnatello, Felice Lyne and tho great Russian dancer this opera was given a remark able hearing In Chicago. Mr. Eric De Lnmartcr, critic for the Chicago Tribune, wroto enthusiastically of tho perform ance. Here are two paragraphs from his review, to tho first of which many opera goers will cry a hearty Yes: "Before proceeding to serious business, pause we for ono heartfelt paenn of Joy over tho sight of a real ballet In an opera performance. Those present last evening may go down to the shades con- tint with one such revalntlnn In n llfn- tlme. This ballet can dance, and It Is I given opportunity. "A wild thing was this dumb girl of Mmc. rnvjowa's pantomime. The dancer's wonderful technical skill, gave her a range of expression quite beyond the gen eral run of this art. Without doubt, her audience was deeply Impressed. But, If one person's opinion Is worth expressing. It seemed a waste of a surpassing art to JOSEF HOFMANN weight Mme. Pavlowa's exquisite taste and skill with the matter of factness of a lurid moving picture scenario." The other sensation in Chicago was a performance of "LAmore del Tre Re" which, lacking the Ineffable beauty of Lucrezla Borl, was still a great suc cess. We who saw It here last year In Its full glory under the hand of the un happily absent Maestro Toscanlnl will hardly be startled, but Montemezzl's opera cannot be spared long. Itl will be a pleasure to hear It again. Maria Gay's sensational "Carmen" is also part of the repertoire. The Metropolitan Opera Company is positively coy with Its announcements. Press Agent, or rather. Publicity Manager William Guard has been abroad and has written several nice pieces In the papers about Italy. That butters no parsnips for tho Phlladelphlans who want to know. Presumably In the 14 performances a number of popular favorites and a num ber of good operas which are popular Triangle Plays Beginning with the Monday matinee Y5I?XuLbe a new bui ot our TIU ANQLE PLAYS.

The novel ties, one fancies, will be Borodino's long promised "Prince Igor," which is to take Its place beside "Boris Godunort" (see nbove, "good operas, not popular favor ites), and a real thrill In "Goyesca," a Spanish opera sung In Spanish, the com bination being unique In this country, as are also the parts. "Goyesca" la on a libretto of Fernando Perlquet, the music by Maestro Enrique Granadoa. The Metropolitan this year will also have Its ballet season. Sergei Dlaghllew Is the director general of the enterprise and Mme. Karsavlna and M. Nljlnsky are the principals. The list of ballets far ex ceeds In Interest the list of operas for the year. Ravel, Strawlnsky, Rlmsky-Kor-sakow, Debussy, Reynaldo Hayn, and Tchcrepnlne are the composers drawn upon, and a goodly part of the scenery and costumes Is by Leon Boksr. How many of these will be offered Phlladel phlans Is not yet known. According to one announcement an entire week of the Ballet Russe was under consideration. Prayers to the proper Muse are going up that this plan will be carried out.

Kind Words from the MotionPictureNews This well-known trade paper, in the issue of October 23d, re produces the Photoplay Page of the EVENING LEDGER as an example of what other news papers ought to do for motion picture theatres. The following extracts will in terest the producer, the exhibi tor, .and theatre patrons: " As .an example of just how complete a newspaper photoplay department can be made, take the cac of the Phila delphia EVENING LEDGER, which gives at least a column a day, and on Saturday a whole page, to picture news and ad vertising. " "Note, first, the classified adver tising under 'Prominent Photo play Presentations.' These an nouncements are grouped under headings indicating in what sec tions of the city the various theatres are located. The read er knows at once where to go. All he has to do is to select the pictures he wishes to see, and the theatre nearest his home. The ads are well arranged, con sidering the large number, and afford a handy guide for the picture lover. " "Observe also the benefit to ex hibitors of other features of this department. The Photoplay Editor writes notes of his own about showings at Philadelphia houses ('With Local Exhibi tors') He uses also a gossipy imaginary interview with Miriam Cooper, and an il lustrated story featuring Doug las Fairbanks. The 'Question and Answer' column takes care of the many queries propounded by the devoted 'fans.' " "The final strong point of the EVENING LEDGER'S motion picture page is that readers do not have the slightest difficulty in discovering the section of the paper given to pictures." "It would be hard to find a photoplay department of greater excellence and wider appeal than the EVENING LEDGER'S. We commend it to exhibitors as a splendid in stance of what their local news papers could do for them If they would," ,. -,,-.. -, -Market llelow Seventeenth DPfrRMT Dally, lOo: Krenlnn.
