Mr I boo where one or two eastern
critics say thnt nn Oregon victory would
mean little or nothing, an l'cnnsylvanla had
only a second-rate eleven this year. Many
of the best footlmll critics In (he country,
on the contrary, believed that Penn on
ThnnkJBlvIni? Day, was the equal of nny
eleven In tho Host, stronger than Harvard
or Princeton and on a par with Ynlc. Isn't
this latter opinion closer to the truth?

Mr. Rosenbrtrh declares that the company
will be completely reorranlied. tl tn al
btanhed to change the name of thj com

Mr. Itosenlweh. at his studio. 0t Spruce

cost him ejactly Ill.OeO. Mr. ItooenbarU.

any. on Christmas nluhl. Mr. Hoeenbach
sys that he has received assuranees from
prominent I'hlladelphlans. who have aerecil
to finance him in his movement to srlve
rhltsdeltmlans opera, at moderate prices.
"I am not tllscnuraKed," Said Mr. ltoeen
bach. In tho presence of members of his
company, who declare that tlrey will stand
by him, despite the fact thai many of
them haven't n yet received their sal
arles. "tt Is never too late to lesrn vnunic and
old can learn eomelhlns: every day. It was
my purpose to rive to you Phlladelphlan
opera at such a price thnt person of mod
erate means could occasionally purchase a
seat In the orchestra or In the ttnlcotiy. I
Invested out of my own pocke.t 112,000.
!u.1 ,urln ""' "re performance we
didn't receive much rncoiiraicemeiit.
"It Is Imposelbte to Klve oem when your
nudlences aro small therefore I have de
cldrd not to s-o nhead with the iterformance
on the evening of January 3. 1!IT. Hut
that does not mean that our rtunprtny bis
disbanded, i:ery member of my I'Jinjwny
has stood loyally hy me In tho present
predicament. I have laid my plans tM-foro
many well-known I'hlladelphlnns who are
lovers of opera. I hnve pointed out to
them the advantage that Philadelphia
would enjoy hy luavltiR oiiem at iwpular
prices. Opem ut moderate prices would
naturally mean that residents from nearby
places would come hero to attend per
formancesand naturally many of these
folka might care to remain here overnight
nt some of our hotels.
"It will require about 12.1,000 oapllnl to
ko ahead, nnd I hne been promised
financial support for this amount. I would
rather not make public tho names of tho
persons who have agreed to aid mo because
they don't want any notoriety."
At tho oinces of the Philadelphia (Jrand
Opera Comimny. on the thlnl ihmr nf tlm
Kmplro Ilulldlnc Thirteenth find Walnut

happened to wander In were In a ph'l.

as a great divlnatory spirit as well as a

lyrlo of tove sml majesty come to life.
U was In the ohe-net piece. "Trt lvath

tw thin and weary with passion, that cast
over the whole rather shop-worn ene the
clamour of poesy and Imaslnatlve Kenlus.
Perliap it was the Interplay of emotWn,
conveyed as mueh with sesturo as TOonlly.
The slralitht arm (a favorite trick) stood
cmt as arrsstlndy as a church spire. The
pale, traitle face often glowed with the
ardor of youlh. Only the choklns; reeilfcm
of the death seemed n bit out of key with
the woman, who touched new chords etftry
time she whispered "Mon adorre." To heetr
her utter "Marc Antolne" was ta under
stand It all. l-lspertinto would have no ex
cue for existence If every nctresa trans

"The Trial of Joein of Arc" was the sec

night. This trine, with Its leprous love
test of the middle ages (nt least In senti

within a story superior to the film narra

itltehles recital of her "past" U so Inn
nltely more imwlns ami so far superior In
lighting, direction ami photography to the
ret of the tale that It Is hard to believe
that the same director and studio were
responsible for both.
Jn the earlier ami later portion of tho
story Director Noble has done hardly ono
creditable thing to visualise Old Chester
except hire some presentable costumes. His
interior lightings have no mellowness; : the
exteriors are even harder. Thus losing all
opportunity to create n warm old-fashioned
atmosphere through technical means, ho
presents us with commonplace "locations"
and eten absurdly modern frame house.
Further, the story is not arranged to de
velop character well or demonstrate Hele
na's nwakenlng
Hut turn to tho story that Helena tells
Doctor lavender In an effort to win his
consent to her keepltiR little David, nnd
utmost everything Is exceptionally right.
There are noma capital close-ups and ono
bully handling of n suicide. Here at last
Mr. Noble recognises (though ho doesn't
utlllie them to the fullest extent) the pic

among these being her magnificent head,
