There has been an awful tlmo out on
fthe Reading way lately, and I will bo
E obliged to take you Into my confldenco
In the matter, because It Is too good
to ml63. Thero Is a bear running loose
.around! tho countryside back of Jcnkln-
town and thereabouts, and great is the
consternation of all tho Inhabitants.
jme say ho has escaped from tho place
of a farmer at Langhorne, who raises
bears for circuses, but he, It appears,
eays he has not lost a bear: and In tho
meantime Friend Bear is chasing htm
f ' self about tho placo eating chickens,
Ijiogs,pnd various ojher llvo stock. Of
course, every ono is clown on poor
Brother Bear and scared to death incl
dentally ns well, for who can tell when
he Any appear and hug ono to death.
(Hugging may be all right in Its own
; place, but it is not conduclvo to Joy at
the hands of Brother Bear, especially
,03 a dark and fearsome night. Ono
thlng to bo remembered, howovcr, is
that Brother Bear Is npt to bo afraid
of humans, and therefore Is an anxious
Ltd take his denarturo as we aro to
'escape him, but If ho Is cornered, be
tware, it will bo a case of "hugged to
I death."
I heard a delicious story yesterday
about a certain young man who swears
flu, encountered Bruin on his way
home the other night and that he
weighs at least 150 pounds. Ho tackled
Mm, he says, and fired his pistol, but It
.failed to go off, so our bravo young
hvarrior started to shinny un a tree, nor
gfd he rest until he reached tho very.
LPUest top, which could not have held
jBruin had ho followed. Tho young gen.
.tleman adopted the policy of watchful
Hung and so did Brother Bear. They
exchanged a few remarks, so says our
young hero, which were finally heard
JT members of tho Ahlmrtrin nnllpn
forpe, who hastened to tho snot with
hot,guns. to find Brother Bear was

CHORUS OF 500 CHILDREN
TRAINED FOR CELEBRATION
Elaborate Program Planned for Bap
tist Temple Event
A chorus of more than 600 children Is
being trained by Tall Eson Morgan for tho
children's festival concert, which will bo
the final event of Celebration Weok at the
Baptist Temple, Broad and Berks streets,
on tho night of March 26.
Mr. Morgan, who Is director of tho
Ocean Grove, N. J., auditorium, la known
to Phlladelphlani through his presentation
of "Tho Storm" at tho Temple nnd on tho
concert stage.

sell II. Conwell Is pastor, is Cleo Gas

FRITZ KREISLER'S CONCERT
Violinist PInys for Last Time This
Sea3on nt Academy
The fact that Fritz Krelsler played yes
terday afternoon at the Academy of Mu
sic for the last tlmo this season brings,
with tho natural regret that he plays no
more, a great sense of relief to the critic
who Is expected, after each of his ap
pearances, to say tho truo word about
this great artist. Each time Mr. Krelsler
seems less subject to analysis, less provo
cative of n final definition.
The few features which distinguished
this concert from others were that Mr.
Krelsler played a number of less familiar
pieces than usually appear on his pro
gram, that thero were a few less persons
on the stage to greet him, and that one
or two of his numbers were only moder
ately well received. For the sake of mere
accuracy it may be mentioned that once
or twlco thero was a noticeable fault In
the sound of his E string, The great
things, however, In any concert of Mr.
Krelsler's are not the differences, but the
likenesses, and In that lies something of
his power. His own grentness lies not In
his difference from ordinary mortals but
In his Intensification, his positive exalta
tion of the common qualities. One might
marvel, In a naive way, that he Is a
"genius" at all, so like us does ha seem.
Distinctions press In despite the mystlo
unity of impression which Mr. Krelsler
nlways manages to convey. They may
be made by each man for himself. Mr.
Krelsler makes only that which operates
between what Is great and what Is petty,
and he devotes himself to the former with
the quiet and dignified preoccupation of a
splendid soul. O. V. S.
Leonard Auty's Recital
Leonard Auty, tho tenor, remembered
here for his connection with Keneseth Is
rael and as an oratorio singer, reintro
duced himself to local music-lovers last
night In a "Lenten Recital," which drew
to the New Century Club a good-sized au
dience of those who admired Mr. Auty's
art and voice a number of years ago.
The one has gained In authority and
finesse, the other has refined and mel
lowed. Mr. Auty can safely challenge
comparison with any Blnger df oratorio
excerpts and any Blnger of ballads. Rut
he Is master of an efficient all-round meth
od as well, and demonstrated his facility
in colorated music In the florid aria
"Where'er You Walk" from Haendel's
"Semele" and Purcells "I Attempt from
Love's Sickness to Fly," and his ability
to negotiate the outre harmonies and odd
Intervals of the moderns In Borodlne'a
"Slowly the Daylight Breaks," a recitative
and cavatlna from Alexander Borodin's
"Prince Igor," which had its initial Amer
ican production this season In New York,
and In tha same composer's "A Disso
nance." The opera aria proved emphatically that
the singer 'has the power of dramatizing
through the voice. This was proved in
another degree and way In tha graphlo
narration of tha tala in such ballads as
"The Banks of Allan Water."
Other ballads which pleased the audi
ence mightily were the sixteenth century
"Tha Three Ravens" and the old Scottish
"My Only Joe and Darling" and "The Land
o' the LeaL" Mr. Auty employs no "Caruso
sob" to tug at the heart strings, but he
puts a simple manly affection and pathos
in what he Is singing so that the catch,
as In "Allan Water," Is in the throat of
tha hearer and not In that of the interpre
ter. Hence, too, essential nalvats Is prima
In his ballad singing.
The program was very well considered
and tapped tha stream of musto at vari
ous parts of the map.. Thus there wera
Bungert'a setting of tha late Carmen Syl
va'8 "Der Sandtraeger,"- "Golzek Yxarra,"
an attractive novelty by tho. Spaniard
Martinez Vlllar, and numbers, more or
less familiar, by tha Norse Kjerulf, tba
CeltlQ Macmurrough what else but "Ma
cu3hla"T the Bohemian Dvorak, tha
Italian Enrico Caruso ("Dreams of Long
Ago," and very pretty, too.) tha Germans
Haendel, Schumann and Mendelssohn-
represented by the "Watchman" air from
the "Hymn of Praise," sung in a broad
and beautiful oratoriu tyla tha Slav
Rubinstein and Philadelphia's own Gil
christ whose "Heart's Delight" was one
of tho "treats" of tbe program, in addi
tion to tbe Scots, Russian and English
already listed.
Mr. Auty's vole? la singularly ewt and

sini turner! ills play Into an opera, has
seemingly been forgotten,
But tho "Barber" with the weight of his
century upon him remains a gay and divert
ing character, and the opera woven about
him abounds still In a lively and spirited
humor. Fortunately the company which
sang and acted the opera last night knew
the shortcomings of tho audience and
played every possible bit In the Gothic
manner, the pointed Gothic. Particularly
tne aosurd old figures of Bartolo and
Baslllo, played by SI. Slalatesta and Dldur,
wero amusing, and the Barber of 51. da
Luca exceedingly bo.
Of the lightness and delicacy and, to re
vert to the architectural, tho beautiful
and for once Inoffensive archness of JIme
uarrlentos, not much can be said in a
brief review. She sang as she sang In
"Lucia," with a slight but always pleasing
voice, with a technical command of it that
is marvelous. She added a charm and
graclousness which endeared her.
The Count of SI. Damacco was hardly
of this company. In tho rattling passages
of patter which he shares with Figaro, M.
do Luca unintentionally drowned out the
tenor, and in the serenades and songs SI.
Damacco only managed to be adequate.
It was a pleasant evening, about which
mere snouui be not too much speculation.
The performance was nicely tuned to
lightness and the conductor kept always
In mind tho necessities of an early 10th
century opera dressed for modern times.
It is not an unhappy thing for us that
thesa ancient gaieties find still a place
In our hearts. a. V. S.
