No NlJInsky (traced tha trlplo bill of
tiorsa da DtaKhllefTa Ballet Utilise at tha
i Metropolitan last ttlitht, yat no one's feel
ing aeemeel to bo hurt, and the program
was aa continuously entertaining, aa Intel'
lleently varieirated, a brlmmlnc with color
and tho life ot the eloquent limb n could
well have been.
Thoie violently- twcntleth-oontury persona
who think Bernard Shaw a better play
wright than Plnerd, and amlte with rap
ture at the gnawJnif nolaee of Schoonberg
In preference to Schumann, atwaya want
the "Insclonerung" mentioned flrHt. So let
It be ald that the -settings laet oveulng
Jrero In one case familiar and magnificent,
n another familiar and machlno-made,
' and In tha third novel curious And llluslvo
WUt that Illusion wmen is tempered wun
a sane reality.
Tho latter reference is to "Sadko," tho
water ballet of Holm's, with mualo by
TUmsky-Korsakow mtiBlo as brilliantly In
terpretative In Its way as the enme com
1 poser's "Scheherazade," which also was
given. "Lea Bylphldoa," not qulto so pre
cisely danced aa sometimes, completed tho
' offerings.
"Sadko" took the troupe Into tho second
peVllotia element of their career. Last
season they gave "The Fire Bird," now
supplanted by tho underwater fantasy of
tho new ballet The flashes of impish fun
In tho talc In which a human harpor seta
(he feet of the sea tsar and his BUbJectu
going, nnd carries oft tho tsarevna wero
suggested by such touches as a glgantla
flsh, bathed In red light: n crawly-looking
green starfish and an animated sea flower,
whose back looked something like nrflotsam
cabbage. Kor the romantic pnrt of tho
pantomime thcro were, too, romantic stage
effects. Behind n very delicate gauze cur
tain, lrregulorly splotched, one saw n great
rectangular reach of ocean floor, with a
jagged vista of purplish light for back
ground. On this floor, lit from the sides
and thus giving tho effect of n sequcstorod
kingdom, cavorted symbolical sea herbs,
sea horses and currents. Tha combination
of wine-red, nist-brown and green, green,
green. In the costumeH was enchanting. Not
Strange when one recalls that Anlsfeld, who
did an admirable set or two for I'avlowa,
,wa tho scene designer, dontchruva had
to his credit the robes.
Then thero was tho dancing, principally
weird, with a dash of grim humor, and
mors than a dash of crazy oxultntlon, such
as Bolm exults In. IIo was enorgetlo to
, the point of frenzy, but kept his rhythmic
sense. No wonder "Sadko" was slightly
mad, with Doris, as tho tsaravna, coldly
beautiful as tho waves thnt bIio Inhabited
Beautiful nlso. though not colcLnt alt, was
nevnlles In "Scheherazado," and beautiful,
with both Ice nnd Jlamo In her veins, waa
the Indescribably virginal nuro X.opokova
In "Ives Sylphldrs." davrflow danced with
her, and Bolm, unfatlgued. In the Arabian
Nights-llko orgy. His Is a horrible and a
wonderful performance of tho Infntuatcd
negro al.ivo.
Today's matinee will consist of "Till
TSulcnsplegel." "Thamnr," "Le Spectre do la
jtose- nna "uarnavai. lomgnt mere win
no performance, so tha ballet member
will be Bursts of Morris Cleat at tho AdclphI
Theater, where "Experience"' Is playjng,
and later at a nu.nal.in supper, which, V Is
estimated will coit about 20.000 kopeks. Or
so tho press ngont of "tho most wonderful
play, etc.," said. B. D,
HINRICHS TO CON
DUCT OPERA HERE
For the second time within a month,
Oustav Iltnrlchs, the conductor and com
poser, Is coming to Phlladulphla A couple
of 'weeks ago ha was a dinner guest of the
local Critics' Association Next Monday
night he will lead tho orchestra at the
Cehrens Opera Club's'productlon of "Cavnl
Ierla, IUistlcana" and "Coppclla" at the
Metropolitan.
Twenty-flva years ago this fall "Caval
lerla" waa given its first American pro
duction by , tha Illnrlchs Grand Opera
Company, at tho Grand Opera House,
Philadelphia, with Mr. Hlnricha himself
conducting. It is with more than ordinary
pleasure, therefore, that tha Bchrens Opera
Club, hiving decided to colebrnte the
quarter century of 'this Important musical
event by an elaborate production of the
opera, announces that Mr Hlnrlchs will
again occupy tho conductpr's stand on this
occasion.
During tha nine seasons that Mr. Hln
rlchs held operatic sway In this city he
probably did mora than any other Im
presario, beforo or since, for the education
and entertainment of the public In the
rsajm of grand opera. He Introduced
Puccini to us by giving us "Marion Les
CaUt." "L'Aralco Fr;tz," "Sigurd," "The
Pearl Fishers," and his own opera, "Ontl
Orn," were among other operas which he
produced for the first time In this country,
in Philadelphia. And to him also are wo
indebted for havlpg first heard Humper
dlnck's "Hansel and a ret el."

CIVIC CONCERTS
OPEN ; VARIED PRO
GRAM IS GIVEN
Philadelphia apparently ban not yet been
nwakened to the value of civic concerts.
This opinion Is deduced from the testimony
of n comparatively small house last night
at tho first of a series of such concerts
held at Withcrspoon Hall tinder tho auspices
of (ha National Muslo Bureau. Although
tho nudlenco was somowhat scattered In tho
largo auditorium, tho fact wan obvious from
the start that It was composed in tho main
of music loyors, oven If theso wore not of
tha Informod type frequent ot symphony
concert. The appreciation of the audi
ence as snown In applause argued enthus
iasm for tho enterprise, which Is under
tho direction of Messrs. Emll llelch, S
Popper and B, A. llelsman. Theso Im
presarloi presented Florence Wallace so
prano j Mary Zentay, violinist, and Klmer
Kink, pianist, with Dan H. Sofor at the
piano.
Tho underlying idea of the clvlo con
certs la to present varied and good music
In artistic form at tho lowest possible
prices, All seats last evening wero at a
uniform scale of twenty-five cents. This
same policy of moderate charge will ba con
tinued, and doubtless when the news is
spread abroad that programs of real merit
and oxcellent oxecutlon are to bo enjoyed
at a nominal fee a conafdcrahln nnd annre
clatlvo public will bo established for sub
sequent concerts of tho series.
There was nothing tawdry or cheap about
the program, though possibly It might bo
charged that a few of tho selections wero
somewhat trivial. Yet, on the other hand,
It must be remembered that tho concerts
havo an educational purposo nnd It Is nec
essary to lead newly developing musical
audiences Into appreciation for tho best
,nnd greatest through gradual stages from
the sheer nnd slmplo melody to more com
plex harmonica
Mr. Fink's contributions wero a brilliant
and somowhat hard rendering of a Chopin
wait i, a romantic playing of Schumann's
Concerto In U minor nnd two number of
his own, of which tho Impromptu hod n
blithe nnd easy movement that was charm
ing Miss Zentay plays very well for a
mero slip of a girl. Hho gave variety of
tone nnd Interpretation to Wlenlawskl's
"Faust" Fantasia and was hoard to ad
vantage In the Tartlnl-Krehlor Variations
on f? Corolll themo, Schubert's "Bee" and
the Drlgo-Auer "Arlcquln," Lyrlo quality
nid evenness through the various registers
mark Miss Wallace's volco. Her enuncia
tion Is distinct nnd sho Is nblo to differ
entiate moods, as was shown In the
Dell'Acqun "Vlllanelle," Cadman's "Land
of the fiky Bluo Water" and Woodmnn's
'Birthday" for ono group. In her other
group she revealed n pretty skill at colora
tura In Musctta's Waltz Song from "La
Holiorhe," and also sang tha "Doplua le
Jour" aria from "Louise" with dramatlo
feeling and Hlmsky-Kornakoff's "Chanson
Indoue."
Tho accompaniments of Mr. Sofer were
discreet and effective Mr. Itelsman played
that for his "Monarda," n very pretty piece,
rendered by .Miss Zentay. W. It. M.
SETS NOW BUILT IN
"CONTINUITY"
BY TRIANGLE
Since tho completion of the four groat
glasi stages nt Culver rty for tho making
of Trlanglo-Inco photoplays, n motlon-plo-turo
Innovation long and devoutly desired
by directors has been mudo posslbla That
Is tho building of Interior sots In continuity,
hi tho nCttinl relntinn thnv nrn minnnmit ..
bear to each other in tho story Thus,
ono often seet n sulto of four rooms exactly
as thoy would bo In Homo homo of the
wealthy. Thoy open Into each other and
may bo viewed from each other, The
camera can sometimes catch something of
nil four at onco.
This has led to another Innovation, Tho
directors often stations two or more cameras
on his set, and photographs continuous ac
tion actually nn It would be In life, Thus,
from ono sldo of n wall nn actress Is photo
graphed ns sho exits through a doorway.
On tho other sldo a second camera records
that Identical passage. A third picks her
up as, without stopping, sho goes up a
stairway, steps, turns and comes down and
through tho doorwuy ngnln. Not n motion
of the entire nctlon Is lost; nnd, If this
scene wero n highly expressive or emotional
one, carefully worked up to, tho added In
tltnnto relationship of scenes might be In
valuablo. Undor tho old system of small Bets the
exit through tho doorway nnd the entrance
Into tho other room might be divided by
weoks, and tho player be In an entirely dif
ferent mood Thh has also resulted In
many ludicrous mistakes In make-up, oven
with tho most painstaking direction, so thnt
"matching up" tho several hundred scones
of n play Is sometimes a most difficult tnsk.
What, for Instunce, can ba done when a
player leaves a room with n flower In his
coat and hands baro. to appear In tho hall
a fraction of a secend later gloved and
without tho flower, returning Immediately
to tho room bouquoted, but without tho
glovcsT It Is not always that the worried
film editor can fix this sort of thing with
tho ancient, Ilfo-savlng title "Several Days
Later "
An oddity of tho big new Ince sets that
nmazea visitors Is thnt, even though the
film will bo In monochrome, everything
photographed Is In full, accurate and Very
handsome color.
Scenes In an art gallery wero required In
a Triangle play recently filmed, and not
only was the gallery accurately reproduced
"' hhiiio noio uuogen o represent the
various modern schools of art that would
be likely to be represented ; and whera gen
ulne example could not be obtained copies
were mada from the works of recognized
artists.

Tho picture Is not oidy educational, but
