LEDGER-. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1915.
ST. ANTHONY'S HALO
TO GLOW IN PLAY AT
THE LITTLE THEATRE
Maeterlinck's Drama, "Over
ruled," and Bernard Shaw's
"Three Women" to Be
Presented Tonight
REHEARSAL IS PROMISING
"Must a saint scratch? Is It part of
the play?'
This very audible whisper came from
the pit of tho Little Theatre, where the
Stage Society wns holding n dress re
hearsal of Its third set of plays Tonight
three plnjs will be produced: "Three
Women," an anonymous play, and "Over
ruled, - by Uoinatd Shaw, and "Tho
Mlrncle of Snlnt Anthony." by Maurice
.Maeterlinck
St. Anthony, young nnd smooth-faced,
with one of those modern hnlrcuts that
lenve a man's cars so Isolated, came down
to earth, his habitat being the Little
Theatre. "Mo" Maeterlinck had cmpIood
him to work a mlrnclo, and "Mo" Spclser,
president and general mnnagcr of the
Stngo Society, was there to see that ho
carried out his Job
"I wonder," said the Saint. In truly
humblo and meek spirit, "what would
happen If mv inlment were soaked In
water for a da or two Its rough sur
face has an Irritating effect even on i
martr, but this Is tho question How
will It shrink? If It shrinks from east
to west all will bo well." nnd he took a
firm grnsp on tho bias tuck that kept
him from slipping through the neck of
his gown
"Hut If It shrinks from north to south,
woe ls me," nnd the Saint glanced shyly
nt the retiring hem of his robe. "If It
letrents on the front much more, I will
look like a wood niupli Then, u
know, when ms hnlo Is In working older,
there will be n wire to bring tho neccs
snrj current to tho hnlo And suppose
the audience sees that tall' What will
the) think of If" and Snlnt Anthony
retired to consult with Madame llortennc.

FIRST PERFORMANCE
OF ROSENKAVALIER
Strauss' "Comic Grand Opera" Excel
lently Produced nnd Sung
The years have apparently dissipated
the resentment which Dr. Itlchard Strauss
has had ngnlnst Philadelphia, and ns a
result tho Metropolitan last night wns tho
scene of the local promlero of "Der Itosen
knvntler," the Brent composer's comic
drama with music. It was a notable occa
sion. In many litis, also, it was n disconcert
ing occasion, for what could one mnke of
nn opcrn so subversive of trndltlons that
the great voice of Frieda Hcmpcl counted
nlmost for nothing In the totnl lmprs
Blon? What could one mnko of nn opern
In which not only snrred Wagner wns tra
duced and ridiculed, but even the work
Itself was burlesqued from net to net
Above nil, what was ono to sJiy to an
opera In which, bv nil that Is rare, one
really laughed out In Olympic merriment
and enjojed virtually every moment"
Clenrly this Herman who could compose
"Also sprnch Znrnthuslrn" and 'Till
Iulonsplcgel." knows no limitations, be
muse In the field of opern he has produced
"nicetra" ns w11 ns "Ilosenkavallcr "
It Is perhaps fortunate for us that
"Itosenknvnller" was first heard under the
Mulct baton of Artur Hodnnzky It is
likely enough that Alfred Hcitz was much
nearer the composer's Intentions when ho
let his orchestra leap nnd shout In tho
riotous Imaginings of Strnuss. Mr Ito
datirky ls gaining his good repute by the
delicate balance he establishes between
singers nnd Instruments, nnd last night
he showed thnt he had n clear and definite
purpose In his lending. When necessity
demanded he could drown out the puny
olces of the singers In grent bursts of
orchestral sound For the most part ho
wns moderate, mil no singer could com
plain None, fortunnteh, needed coddling
from tho conductor
Mine Ilempcl s Is a voice which has,
bc ond extraordinary ranges and pow
ers, the gift of adaptability In tho
sweeping declnmntlons of Strnuss her
greatest capacities aio not shown, but In
each of her nppenrances she hnd great
moments In the finnl act she sang with
Mines, Ober nnd Mnson In n trio which
wns remarkable enough because, sung lit
women's voices, it jet hnd Infinite grada
tions nnd differences of tone. The llnnlo
of the llrst act was, however. Mmc Hcm
pcl's own, her meditation nnd the accom
paniment which ends bi rising Into clear
nnd sober beauty were the finest feature
of tho evening Since Miss Mnson Is an
nounced for a pnrt In "Un Hallo In
Mnschern" next week. It wns good to
find thnt she has a pleasing nnd capable
volco which can blend with much beaut)
with other voices
Mme. Ober nnd Mr. Goritz. ns Octa
lan and Haron Ochs. respectively, vvero
naturally the singing nnd acting stars.
Fncli presented n real characterization,
nnd ench sacrificed no part of dual duty
presented b) the score. In nn opcrn
which depends much on humor, character
Is Indispensable, nnd the character must
be expressed In voice ns well ns In
fenture nnd figure Mme Obcr's Octn
vlnu, with Its double masking, was al
ways provocative and Interesting. Mr.
Goritz ns the leering, tippling, lecherous,
nbsurd nnd pathetic baron was superb.
It Is astonishing that "Ilosenkavallcr,"
written In essentially modern Idiom of
music, should preserve so much of Its
atmosphere of undent times Costume
nnd set were nlwnys correct, with re
curring suggestions of rococo, with color
and vulgnrlty nnd ridiculous mngnlfi-
cence. Hut the true cause of Strnuss
success is thnt his Imnglnntlon, which is,
ribald ns sutely ns It ls riotous, which
Is abundantly nudnclous nnd vulgar, cor
responds, nctually, to the Imagination of
the tlmu which he Is depicting
It Is hard to forgive the few dull pass
ages, such ns those In the beginning of
the first act, when ono feels so sure that
they nro unnecessary Perhaps If at
thoso times one could have heard more
of tho orchestra there would havo been
some consolntlon. Tho ingenuity of or
chestration thioughout Is a marvel: tho
ability to settle a mood upon his henrers
Is Strauss' Irrcslstlblo gift He ends his
first net with a mood of deep sentiment,
and promptly parallels that with a bur
lesque mood of licentiousness In the
second net nnd an utterly trivial but de
lightful finale nt the end. Is any one an
noyed'.' Tho answer is simply thnt In
each mood his hold Is nbaolut" Ho turns
tlio Wnlkucre call Into mock heroics when
his Baron Is wounded, nnd no ear Is
offended Ho Introduces a waltz which
suggests Johnnn. not Itlchard, as his first
name, nnd It allures nnd dlstt esses like
a vanished memory, but It compels ad
miration So with every bar of his score
Itlchard Strauss Is a Titan, and here
ho worked nlmost In enmco. He Is richly
Teutonic, yet his Inspiration here was ob
viously French, nnd he nnd von Hof
mannsthnl succeeded her In capturing n
phase without violence a thing which Is
nt least open to question In other works
they have produced together. It Is
hardly likely that Strauss' chief claim
to Immortality will rest on his opctns.
nor his chief opera ever be called "Itosen
kavallor." Hut for him It Is Important
because It Indicates tho universality of
his Imagination. For us It Is Important

Subscription Certificates Taxable
ALBANY, Dec. 15 -So-called "certifi
cates of subscription" issued by a coi
po ration to subscribers for the stock of
the corporation In advance of the pay
ment of the subscription price and in ad
Vance of the delivery of the ordinary
certificates of stock are taxable, the Court
of Appeals holds. The court upheld the
contention of Attorney General Woodbury
that such "certificates of subscription"
constitute "certificates of stock" within
tha meaning of certain sections of tho
tax law which tax the sate or transfer
of shares of certificates of stock.
The decision reverses the Appellate Di
vision of the Supreme Court, Third De
partment,, which upheld the contention of
Robert Y Hebden, of New York, that the
transfer of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company's certificates of subscription
Issued after the stock of that corporation i
had been Jncrea-ied from fIW.00O.0OO to
1"?,0.000 were not taxable.

In life sunshine nnd ahndow succeed
one another ns quickly as In nn April

seem evil things nre but blessings In dis
