"lAto of Man." But translated Into tho
cold syllables of Anglo-Saxon as the
AmSrleah adaptors know that lonfcuo, It
Is a. lifeless conglomeration of over-wordy
nhd! under-artlculato Ideas about love,
materialism, and various other abstrac
tlbnk. It will take an English-speaking
pbet, a native Maeterlinck, a Keystone
A'AnnunzIo, to make these philosophic ad
ventures of Psyche and nlax through
eoven 'ages the lesst bit gripping as the.
atrlcal entertainment. As It stands,
Through the Agos" Is simply an excuse
for Bbmo very fins scenery.
In many wayB tho production now on
dew at tho (Jarrlck Is the most Interest
ing, the most distinctive, that Philadel
phia has ever seen In Its regular theatres.
The Ballet Russo gave us moro beautiful
and tnoro drnmatio settings, but they
lacked the revolutionary lighting which
haa'been added by IUchard Ordynskl, the
play's rrnduccr, to tho striking designs o
Wltold Gordon.
No artist could ask for moro oppor
tunity. There Is Arcadia to begin with,
where Pysche, the s ilrlt, meets Eros,
love, and Is sent Into eternal and Im
mortal oxllo down tho ages for the crime
of tho base slave, Blax. who tears the
veil from tho face of tho god. Here Mr.
Gordon paints a green forest, orango
poplars In the middle distance and great
!...,- 4 ,.vini. nt the irolden sky.
Then Alexandria, of crimson canopies ana
curtains, ngalnst. tho hard green pillars
of a lustful ago ; and hero a conflict for
Psyche, tho wandcror, against Blax. tho
Roman governor. Next a convent of tho
middle ages and Blax, the Lord Abbot.
BtlninB tho soul of Psyche, tho nun; an
opportunity for as finely composed a lo
algn of towering gray walls and Bun-girt
plnnaclo as Gordon Craig has given us.
Then tho Italy of the M,edlcls more con
flict, this tlmo martial and a hall of green,
blue and red. Paris In tho Revolution,
with a barricade, violently conflicting In
line, silhouetted against a pile of dormered
houses and Psyche fighting Blax again
for thp united freedom of Franco. To
day supplies Mr. Gordon with tho rooms
of the millionaire nobleman, Baron
von Blax, a Chlnolscrlo In gray, cerise,
and blues and blacks, all for tho person
of his mistress, Psycho. And when Tsycho
has freed herself from his gold by making
his house her funeral pyre, wo come td the
Future, a tlmo and a land of blue and sil
ver stars upon black hangings. There
Blax, King of the World, finds his power
useless, his people begging salvation of
tho prisoner Psyche, and ho .himself bow
ing tho kneo to a slave.
' In goneral tho lighting does a great
.""deal for tho settings. It Is almost all
from above and from great "floods" In
specially-built bridges overhead. It gives
Infinite shadings and paints the great
cyclorama In a score of skies that carry
more Illusion than any wo have seen. In
America. It Is only a pity that Mr. Ordyn
skl hasn't utilized a hanging lamp or two
for the centre of Illumination In somo of
tho Intorlor scones. " '.
To glvo the acting no more than a.brlof
word. It Is nassablc. At times. Madame
l'orska vanquishes tho dlfflculjleoof ',tha?
. English language as uiorougniy as sno
does Blax; but mostly strangov conso
nants and Intonations mar ner jrama.ua
effects. At moments, such as the peche
of theRovolutlon, she Is really powerful.
Robert T. Haines has his ups and downs,
too. Sometimes, he Is Just plain "play
acting," heavy, elaborate, faked. -At
others. In Today, for instance, he Is ex
cellent. 'Without a great translator, 'Through
tho Ages" needs a new plot Its seven
episodes might hold tremend6iisly If each
were a little drama in Itself, like the parts
of "My Lady's Dress"; If each' fri fact
Were aB Interesting by Itself and for pur
poses of dramatic entertainment as the
episode of the Medlcls. K. M.

Coloratura singing is an art that Is no
longer to any great extent consciously
cultivated, yet without tho expert In florid
singing, somo of tho most beautiful music,
as puro music, over written would bo lost
to performance, To be sure, a groat deal
of trivial song would waste Itself on tho
desert air of oblivion, but thero aro many
airs and arias the colorated decorations
of which uro underlaid with the sheerest
and most appealing melody and Invested
with authentic feeling.
So It Is agrccablo that once In n whllo
a young singer devotes herself consciously
and conscientiously to coloratura nnd be
comes adroit, through tedious experience,
with trill and grnco note, skip and ca
denza. Such a singer Is Ethel Sykes, who
gavo an artistic recital last evening at
Grinith Hall. Miss Sykes' voice Is of pure
and sweet natural quality, with" an even
scale.
ANNUAL CARMINT PROGRAM
Well-Known Tenor Gives Splendid
Program Effectively
Tho annual recital of William H. Car
mint, glvon last evening at the New Cen
tury Drawing Rooms before a considerable
and appreciative audience, wns by all
tokens of program, artistic rendition and
genuine merit one of tho most attractive
of the musical season. Coming so late,
it gavo music lovera a chanco to hear tho
,best at a time when good music is on tho
wane.
Mr. Carmlnt Is well known as a church
soloist and his duties at several of the
leading, churches have been such as to
preclude extensive public appearances, but
ho has the voice and the presence to
warrant frequent concert programs.
His latest program was marked by
choice tosto In selection and was arranged
advantageously to display and bring forth
tho finest values of the composers repre
sented. It enlisted somo of the familiar
material , for tenors, yet so wejl was the
selection mado that there could be no
Just charge of a catering to the con
ventional. Standard .works have a due
place on every program, but this does
not mean that their presence makes a
program hackneyed. Mr. Carmlnt proved
this. " 0
Mr. Carmlnt Is a tenor of splendid nat
ural, vocal endowment nnd the gifts of
nature he has developed by assiduous
training so that his volco represents the
best assets of vocal culture. It Is a volco
both of volume and range, and It Is es
sentially sweet In addition to Its robust
ness. His powers of Interpretation are
very satisfying and he manages to enter,
with real Insight, into the moods of the
composers whom ho Is singing.
Varied Program at Musicale
Susan Lear Schmolze, soprano ; Jacob
Garber, violinist, and Earl Beatty, pianist.
Joined forces and under tho direction of W.
Palmer Hoxlo gave a musicale last even
ing at the Adelphla Hotel. In addition to
tho variety of artists there ,was wide vari
ation In the range nnd mood of the com
positions offered Many' of these, bo(h
solo and concerted, were familiar, but
tho well-selected and arranged prggram
was not deficient in novelty. Of novel
nature -was a group of songs composed by
Mr. Beatty and sung by Miss Schmolze.
Miss Schmolz sang the nrla from Doni
zetti's "Lucia," 'Regnave nel SUenzlo"
and groups of songs by Schubert, Ben
nett and Earl Beatty. Jacob Garber was
heard In the Pcelslled from "Der Melstor-slnger,"-
the Kreisler arrangement of a
Beethoven "Rondlno," Schubert's "Moment
Musical," etc Earl Beatty played se
lections by Rachmaninoff, Scrlablne and
Gluck-Brahms.

There Is aHvays a distinctive finish
about a product of, the Fine Arts studios.
No matter what the story, Rood or bad, or
who tho players, there Is always a Ulet,
direct artistry about the film that stamps
It GrlflUh-supervlscd. it may lack woe
fully tho fine Interior lighting of the
in.ifv fflmt, imt if hnfl filwnvs atmos
phere, pood camera work nnd exceptional
exteriors.
Tho new release stnrrlnB Lillian Glsh,
"Rnlrt tnr Mnrrlncro." In a ease In point, as
patrons of tho Arcadia tho rest of tho
week will discover, its Btory Is by no
means novel or powerful simply a tnlc of
the attempts of some Russian Immigrants
to mnrry off their nlcco and ward to tho
highest bidder. The relations of all tho
characters aro developed slowly, but con
sistently. Tho various Incidents aro none
of them halr-rnlslng, hut they follow with
strnlBhtforward logic
As for settings nnd nctlng, both aro
closo to tho perfection of Mr. OrlfIU,h's
studios. Lillian Olsh, Frank Bennett,
Wnlter Long nnd A. D. Scars carry the
principal parts excellently. Tho scenes In
Los Angelo-' Little Russia aro as sug
gestive of our hybrid ghettos as tho wild
er and moro obviously effectlvo glimpses
of Russia during a Pogrom.
Kitty Gordon's third film for the World
Corporation will be "Her Crucial Tost."
Blllle Reeves, tho comedian, having fin
ished his contract with Lubin, will go Into
tho producing end of tho movlng-plcttiro
business. He will leavo for Atlantic City
curly next week nnd will start tho camera
on an original three-reel comedy, with all
the scenes laid In that rosorL Mr. Reeves
will play tho principal part In this plcturo
and will bo surrounded by a cast of com
petent artistes. The scenario was written
by n well-known nuthor nnd this plcturo
will be followed by a number of one-reel
comedies, nil In a now vein of humor, and
nil giving Mr. Reeves nn unusual oppor
tunity to show his talent.
Right on tho heels of the Important
merger announcement comes oie from the
Flno Arts studio, saying they will be
gin Immediately upon tho work of pro
ducing two-reel pictures with such stars
as Douglas Fairbanks, Do Wolf Hopper,
Lillian Glsh and all tho rest playing tho
lending parts. Tho significance of this, It
Is said. Is nothing more than a dcslro to
provide for tho Insistent demand for short
er pictures by tho exhibitors. To many It
seems to Indicate, as was stated In these
columns somo time ago, that this Is tho
first step In the building up of a program
upon tho typo of the Mutual nnd General
Film. These now two-reel pictures will
bo released on the Triangle program
under tho Fine Arts trademark. The
first one stars Douglas Fairbanks nnd Is
being directed by John Emerson.
"The -Floorwalker" is Charllo Chap
lin's first Mutual release. It will re
qulro plenty of floor to nllow Chas C's
feet to walk. Palace patrons will soon
see It. The Essanay company, by the
way, announces that "Police," Charlie
Chaplin's last picture. Is ready.

The Son of Tarzae
EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS has
written a sequel to all the Tarzan
stories, and the Evening Ledger
has secured the serial rights. The story
commences in Saturday's Evening
Ledger. The tens of thousands f
readers who have followed the Tarzan"
serials within the past twelve months
need no assurance as to the power of
these Burroughs tales. Their wealth
of incidents, abundance of vivid scenes,
and the Speed at which the story's
action moves, have interested and en
grossed more readers than any serial
stories published in the last few years.
It is sufficient to say of "The Son of
Tarzan" that he is a worthy successor
to a father whose every act held the
attention of a hundred thousand
readers from day to day.
