THEATRICAL NOVELTY
PLEASES AT AMERICAN
"Tho Woman He Married" Well
Presented by Stock Players.
First Time in Philadelphia
"Tho Woman Ho Married." bv Herbert
Bashford, used ns a vehicle y Virginia
;...". . " lt!l "mml I'crformanco Hi
Plillndplphla last night at the American
Theatre. .
Tho plot of tho piece Is not new. It
has been used from tlmo Immemorial, yet
seemi Just a llttlo different overy time,
owing to variations nf character and at
mosphere. Jack Harding, tho son ot a
wealthy business man, tnnrrlei a girl who
has been employed In a music hall as
' cutis arising from tho sea." Tho father
objects to tho marrlago and dlslnheilts
him, nnd tho young man tries his skill ns
a dramatist. Ills wife. In nn effort to
do her share, poses without her bus
band's knowlcdgo for Jules Mnrston, an
nrtlst. Cecil Armsby, nn Kngllsh fortune
hunter, discovers her secret, nnd, nt a
patty given In honor of tho successful
production of the play, tells how Mrs.
Harding has been a model. A dramatic
sccno follows, In which tho husnnnd nc
cuscs his wlfo of lending a double llfo.
Tho last act takes place In tho artist's
studio, whero Harding has gone'to destroy
tho picture. Mnrston explains that It was
solely for her husband's sako that Mrs.
Harding consented to pose, and of course
everything ends happily.
Although III, Miss Ilohlnton, ns Mrs.
Harding, did her usual excellent work.
Tho emotional scenes wero capably han
dled, and, what was best of all, not over
acted. Itlchnrd LaSallc. as Jack Harding,
gave a convincing portrayal of tho young
husband. Tho part of Jules Mnrston was
acted by George Arvlno In his usual iln
Ished manner. Tho remainder of tho cast
included Wlllard Dashlell, Gordon Mitch
ell, Sammy Lynch nnd Mario Warren.
Tho play was staged nnder tho direc
tion of Wlllard Dashlell.
TWO RECITALS GIVEN
Mme. Julia Culp Sings for Charity;
Torello nnd Dubinsky Play
Two recitals of unusual Interest and cx
collenco wero given yesterday. In the
afternoon Mme. Julia Culp, singer of
llcder, nppcaicd for tho second time, this
season. In tho evening, at Griffith Hall,
Messrs. Torello and Dubinsky, contra
bassist and violinist with tin Philadel
phia Orchestra, played In n joint recital.
Tho order of both Interest nnd excellence
commanded reverso arrangement In con
'slderlng theso nrtlsts.
Mr. Dubinsky, frankly, has boon heard
better. Last night his tone wns neither
full nor sweet. In tho Tschalkowsky con
certo it was, nt times, unpleasant to tho
car. Tho later numbers, Including two
nrnngements by Krelslcr, 'a previously un
heard humoresko of nelov, Wlcniawskl's
polonaise In A, nnd others, wero better.
Mr. Dublnsky's merits nro familiar, thev
aro a sulllclcnt mastery of technique,
although by no means a perfect mastery,
a thorough devotion to his art and a lib
eral appreciation nnd understanding of
music. These Qualities wero apparent last
night, only not In tho degrco they have
apeared bofore.
Mr. Antony Torello Is the virtuoso of
tho contra bass who Joined tho orchestra
a year ngo, played once, wo believe, at tho
Stetson Auditorium, bit did not otherwise
play alone. Ills abilities nro extraordi
nary. Many years ago a player of tho
contra bass, whoso name eludes tho mem
ory, mado n tour of this country and pro
voked tho same sensation which Pablo
Cassals, with, tho more x familiar 'cello,
now Is providing. Mr. Torello, It may bo
confidently said, could do as much. Ills
Instrument, graceless and heavy as It
appears, is capablo of a long range of
tone, nnd under Mr. Torello's prehensile
fingers those tones are firm and rich nnd
,ruo. His dexterity In the highest regis
ters of his instrument is marvelous, ttis
rhythmic sense, operating ngnlnst such a
ponderous machine, Is unimpaired. He
played a fantasle of his own, an air of his
own and threo short pieces, of which
Franchl'a gavotte was so loudly and so
lengthily applauded that It should have
been played ugaln. Ho Is a splendid
player, and by all the signs a flno nrtlst.
Mme. Culp sang for the Kmergency Aid
Committee and It was rather disappoint
ing that the Academy was not crowded to
Hear her. She Is the good wine that needs
no bush, for to the listener It would seem
that tho mere utterance of sound must
be the highest pleasure to her. She has
a voice of unparalleled suppleness, ful
ness, loveliness. She sings with n master
ing Intelligence and with a full heart.
From her lips the Jaded sentimentalities
of a century ngo sound rich In emotion.
For hec they seem to flower again and
become fragrant with life, To speak of
iier Irreproachable technique, to mention
the phrasing whlcli ts never ai rami, mo
production which Is so finished yet so
spontaneous, to recall tho slight turn at
the end of "Mignonette" which Is Incredi
bly soft, all these aro only exercises bf
a critical fapulty which abdicates In the
presence of the highest art. Mme. Culp
sang, among other things, two songs of
childhood by John Alden Carpenter, Ono
of them. "When I Bring Colored Toys." Is
a setting of u Tagoro noem. It would
seem Impossible that the voice which
seems at the moment to be the only voice
for Schubert and for Wolf should also be
able to shimmer and shine In Carpenter,
Yet that Is part of Jhe wonder of Mme.
Culp, and part of the dear mystery of her
existence. v s

A largo audience applauded heartily tho

nrtlsts, of earnestness, of Intelligence, of
high aspiration tho applauso and apprecia
tion of tho audience, family and critical,
was deseived for a creditable presentation
of a program of somo novelty nnd con
siderable variety, as follows:

Last night was tho sixth formal public
appearance of tho Symphony Club, which
Is composed of boys and girls of musical
talent and aspiration for cultivating It. Ir
rcsnectivo of creed or social estate. As
described by Mr. Klelshcr. tho scopo of
the work this year has been greatly en
larged. Ho says:
"This has been dono In order that wo
may bo nble to give to our members a
thorough musical .education, rather than
mero technical training. Tho latter Is left
to the music teacher's, whose work tho
club neither Interferes with nor attempts
to undertake. Our work Is done In classes,
there Is no Individual Instruction, nor Is
there nny branch of musical education
which Is not open to all members alike,
"Our orchestra still remains tho best ex
amplo of what can bo accomplished with
boys and girls, somo of whom had faulty
technical training, others not mature
enough to Interpret musio nor understand
that notes express thoughts. Vet their
lovo and talent for music have produced
an amateur orchestra of which our club
Is proud."
Many of tho players have had faulty
training, and, while this Is corrected In
the rehearsals, tho main thought back of
tho work Is the development of musical
taste of the mass rather thnn tho exploita
tion of lndl (duals, though, of course,
when a boy or girl gives evidence of ex
traordinary talent this Is cultivated
through outside channels.
Tho work of the orchestra was partic
ularly Interesting In Its display of a
marked senso of rhythm. This lldollty to
time was shown to best advantage In the
Vlvnldl Concerto, while Bympathctla mu
sical expression marked tho two folk
pieces by Mr. Sandby. It was worth while
to Includo two comparatively unfamiliar
numbers by Ilamerlck and Bellczay, be
cause they wero technically within tho ca
pacity of tho players and because It Is
,nir..Blnir to have amateurs try their
mettle on the choice and master works
of the musical ages. The choral ensemble
pf the young girls was very good In blend
of voices and precision of attack. Tho
contralto choir was particularly effective.
This ts the first year of the choral class,
which Is composed, as a note In the pro
gram states, of voices that have not been
cultivated. Its tlrst season or training
"has produced remarkable results.

It wns like dontlng through a plcnsnnt
dream. Ruth St. Hcnls carried one's
memory back to tho days when poetry
wns king; when music lurked everywhere
to' lull thn wrath of tho gods and
nobody went to work. This Is tho picture
Impressed upon one's mind on seeing
Miss St. Denis and her company of grace
ful dancers nt Keith's. It Is a trip to
fairyland nnd mote. Even Ilroadwny
agreed long ngo that tho statuesque dancer
was tho embodiment of tho poetry of mo
tion. Lnst night slio lled up to tho
reputation.
Miss St Denis dances with her fingers
nn well ns her feet and alwns with her
eyes.
She tells a story In motion ns graphic
ally ns It could bo unfolded In words She
Is assisted by Ted Shann, a nimble dancer
of Apollo-tlke physlquo nnd a dainty
dlnphnnnus chorus. Based upon that clas
sical epigram that "beauty unadorned Is
adorned tho most" a sextctto ot nimble
nymphs disported themselves with tho
nbandon of springtime Innocence.
With the evolution of nrt wo havo been
tnught to bcllcxc that raiment is Incon
gruous with progress, but who will say
