Metropolitan tonlcht you will hear It. You
.!ll bo n.blo to JudRp If what Is called "the
lyric dralima" hy the highbrows Is sus
ceptible of rippling nnd tinkling metres of
lines that surge and swing, of melody
that rtaclica Its tear of sentiment In the
dlniplo of Its laughter.
Kveryone, from Clcorge V. Hobart to
Philip If. Cloepp, lias had a fling at the
portentous seriousness of grand opera,
either from the musical anglo or that of
the libretto. Ro tonight's performance, with
Its lint king back to Kngllsh days of blunt
speech and coarse, wholesome joys. s Im
portant to Philadelphia, "fed up" too often
with tho sobs of I'anlo. the death-rattle of
the cigarette, girl of Seville, the hundred
and onf morose and lugubrious episodes
In which composers delight.
I'i;N AND I.OVU-MAKINO
But more Important than that, Indeed, Is
the fact that, after abortive) attempts by
such diverse characters as Horatio Parker
and Walter Damrosch, we aro going to
hear and see a real "opera Im Kngllsh." The
text of the work, which Mr. DeKoven com
pleted In Vcvey, Switzerland, "amid, nnd
yet far from, wars and rumors of wars,"
as he puts It, mixes Its fun and Its love
making. No one, save those who have
heard It, can i-ay what "The Canterbury
Pilgrims" will prove to be like. Hut. at
least, tho composer has walked In tho right
direction by choslng a genuine, contlnental-
ly-unpnlluted English theme the story of
"our father Chaucer" and he has got a
man to write tho lyrics and dialogue who
knows his pi ucraft
Til? old. vexing questions of whether
operatic Kngllsh Is any more Intelligible
than "Hecomllta Armonla" or "All. Kors e
Lul" will answer themselves In time. What
we do know Is that here Is a work-, not
too grave, set to a capital, simple, primi
tive story of amorous Intrigue, with music
by tho man who wrote "Brown October
Ale." and the kindred gems from "Hohln
Hood."
Thcro is a strong chance, that "The Pil
grims" belongs more with "Moblu" than
with "Cyramo de rtargcrac" or tho unla
incnted ".Mona." These essays In "Kng
llsh opera" seem to have made the mis
take of taking themselves too seriously.
"Cyrano" nexcr got to Philadelphia, but
the writer heaid "Mona" once. The artistic-bleakness
of Ita score cannot he put Into
phrases.
com r os Kirs hopks
Hero It may not he amiss to quote Mr.
De Koven on "opera In Kngllsh" :
".lust it word In regard to the Kngllsh
language as a medium for opera and song.
As Mr. flattl says, If a typical operatic
audience In Italy, knowing Its own language
and generally familiar xvlth both text and
story of the operas, only expects to under
stand about half of tho words as sung.
owing to tho very eondlP.uns of opera lt:lf,
may It not be fairly asked If American
audiences who go to hear operas In Kngllsh,
expecting to nntlerstaiirt every word, ex
pect the Impossible, and should he inoro
reasonable in their demands?
"Again, I have always contended and
maintained that the Kngllsh language, prop
erly used, is an entirely singable language
and, as during tho rehearsals of 'The Can
terbury Pilgrims." none of tho artists seemed
to find any great difficulty in singing in
Kngllsh beyond that Inherent In a certain
lack of familiarity with the language Itself,
It looks as if my contention stands at least
a fair chance of being admitted." IJ. D.
HENRY SUCH IN RECITAL
Wcll-Knowii English Violinist Assisted
by Ednyfcd Lewis, Tenor
' Henry Such, the violinist who has been
n part of Philadelphia musical llfo for half
a decade, was heard last evening in tho
New Century Drawing Boom In his annual
recital program. He had as assisting ar
tist Kdnyfed Lewis, tho tenor of Welsh
voice and name, who has come to the fore,
hero in recent seasons.
Mr. Such is a violinist of much merit.
His technique Is polished and resourceful
through the routine gained as a member of
tho orchestral forces of tho Hoyal Philhar
monic Society of London and the oppor
tunity for Individuality gained through solo
appearances, with the royal symphony or
chestras of London, Vienna, Berlin, Copen
hagen and Stockholm and private appear
ances before such royalties as Kdward VII
and Queen Alexandria of Ureat Britain,
King Christian of Denmark, and tho late
Ivlng of Sweden. Ho has also been a solo
ist in tho tours of tho Philadelphia Orches
tra. Mr. Sucli's musical education was de
rived from the great Joseph Joachim, and
he' had supplementary study with tho
equally great August WllhelmJ. Ho Is more
than a technician, however, n,s his tempera
ment enables him to comprehend tio Inner
meaning of tho notes ho Is playing and to
communicate the composer's esthetic Inten-'
tlon to his hearers.
Mr, Lewis Is the happy possessor of ono
o those Cymric voices which havo tho na
tional or racial quality all their own, heard
in tho singing of Kvan Williams, Dan Bed
docH, Kdwln Kvans and others. This Is a
peculiar sweetness and softness which, how
ever, never degenerates' into effeminacy; it
is nn appealing and heart-searching quality
that reaches and grips the auditor. To this
native endowment of lovely tonal quality
Mr. Lewis adds an artistically developed
vocal method.

light noanon. This rare specimen Is In
captivity at tho Adelphi Theatre, where the
large audience that last evening attended
the performance here of Oscar Straus's
"Tho tlcatitlful I'nknown" was so delighted
with the Irresistible charms and dashing
rhythm of a marching song entitled. "Keep
Repeating tt," occurring fixe minutes after
tho ciirtaln rose, that tho highest expecta
tions of subsequent allurement wero enter
tained. Had such hopes) been realized llerr
Straus would have written another "Churn
late Soldier." That, as it whole, be has
achieved no such distinction a second time
Is partly the fault of insuirtclent libretto
material. mnnotonoii,y wound and un
wound, and pri'f.y due to the peculiar type
of musical p:.,y which found favor in
Vienna Just previous to the war.
It seems t 1 have been the fnshlon In the
Austrian capital to deck the slenderest
dramatic substance with elaborately iiichcs
trated song numbers, very 'economically dis
tributed. The finished product was tliu.i
neither exactly operetta, as Americans
understand It or a music, play strong enough
in its essential Intercf-t to pass as ilraiua.
Turning offerings of this curiously hybrid
sort Into musical comedy for transatlantic
consumption has necessitated the Introduc
tion of addlt'nnal song numbers, out of kev
with the original tcoro and spectacular
featuring of costumes and settings and
that haVo tended to make a somewhat
fragile thing rather ponderous b'urther
moie the labor of many hands In "The
Beautiful I'nknown" Is altogether too evi

In the conventionally toinantlc way was Its
theme. For obvious political re.is.n.s, the
entire action has been transferred to France,
with, results that carry no conviction on
the score of atmosphere or characteriza

made tho (lerman hook, have to'd the rv
elementary story of a yo.r g a-ny o'lleeri'
pursuit of a fair unldentllled miild, from
whom he has received an anonymous letter.
Kdward Patiltnu, an experienced librettist,
who once wrote tho Kngllsh tex of "Kr
mlnle." has tricked out this primitive, fa
bric with alleged humor of often doubt
ful value. Ho has, however. In pait, atoned
for these sjch transgressions with a string
of lyrics, betraying expeit metrical- skill
and capable of producing a sprightly lilting
effect, when the Interpieters become accus
tomed to these clever jingles.
Apart from the one peculiaily delectable
air already cited. Oscar Straus has written
melodious measures, which, however, con
ventional at times, are always gracefully
orchestrated, and never descend to the plane
of musical vulgarity. Indeed, as a whole,
the score Is worthy of a far better libretto.
At 'Intervals It oven rises to the level of
"The Chocolate Soldier" or "A Waltz
Dream." Slgmund Uonibcrg has furnished
additional musical numbers Tho. program

There Is some excellent singing in tho
performance, especially on the part of Lois
Kwell, a recruit from tho grand opera in
Kngllsh stage, and John H. Ooldswotthy,
the military hero. Maude Odell, Charles
.Itidels and Sam Kdwards and Ned Monroe
furnish comic relief. Klkiora Klrwln por
trays the tide role.
No apparent attempt at pronouncing the
French names was made. Neither was
there explanation of the piesence of Bel
gian flags at least they seemed to bo Bel
gian In the yellow light used which deco
rated the flri-t act setting. Perhaps a Teu
ton hint at the alleged ante-bellum secret
agreement between Paris and Brussels was
Implied. H. T. C.
BLUTCH COOPER'S SHOW
MAKES HIT AT CASINO
"Sightseers," Full of Sparkle and Fun,
an Enemy of
Dullness
"Blutch" Cooper has evidently taken great
pains to get together In his "Sightseers" nn
aggregation of talent and beauty which
will attract a goodly amount of attention
even from those who seo burlesque shows
very often. Much of his material Is un
hackneyed nnd fresh.
Tho burden of tho comedy falls upon
Will J. Kennedy and Jack Miller, and they
acquit themselves with distinction. Tim
book, which Is the work of Cooper himself,
shows quite a hit of effort to avoid tho
humdrum or trite, whllo tho music i(t all
times catchy and sparkling.
Others among tho company nre Harry P.
Kelly. Bobby Van Horn, the Carnival Four,
Flo Davis, Babette Kellar, Lottie Blackford
and Kitty Forsythe. A lively chorus adds
to the zest of tho entertainment.
"Salvation Sue" Globe
The dramatic playlet, "Salvation Sue,"
with Octavia Handworth, well-known mov-ing-plcturo
star, and Tom Jones, as prin
cipals. Is the chief feature of a very good
and widely diversified bill at tho Clohe tills
wecls. As a close second to tho headlluer Is
"Marcclle," a musical comedy with a well
balanced chorus and some exceptional
whistling melodies, A variety of grand
opera selections by Caido nnd Noll drow
much applause from tho house last night.
Among the other numbers on the bill aro
u comedy playlet called "Spooks," by Fred
C. Hagan and company; Helda, a Juvenllo
entertainer; the Chineso musical enter
tainers; the four Jntisleys, with their
equlllbristlc feats; Sam Harris, a monol
oglst, and Ben Smith, a blackface comedian.
A clever movie ends tho show.
"Won by a Leg" Cross Keys
Tho headllner at tho Cross Keys Theatre
during the first threo days of this week is
"Won by a Leg," a farce-comedy playlet
offered by Gordon-Klded and compnny. The
act was replete with humorous lines and
worthy- of praise. Some good classical and
nonular songs wero sung by tho Slcllllan
Serenaders, uresscu m liiuicaiiuu ai"i
costumes. The singers won favor with tho
audience,
Moore and Wood, comedians, appeared
In a good comedy act, with, many good
Jokes touching on the current events. Their
act was appreciated. Tracy and Vincent,
vocalists, offered a novel singing act. Tho
bill concluded wth De Marco's Baboons,
an animal act, amusing both to grown-ups
and kiddles. "Miss Mistaken Miss," a mu-steal-
comedy, Is on tho bill for the latter
half ot the week, with several other good
acts,

Commodnro Blacktim is a man with an
Idea both fixed nnd furious that the United
Slates must "prepare." To Impress tills
m the public mind he Is evidently willing
to do anything, even to produce and present
so trivially Improbable) a picture as "The
Battle Cry of Peace." nut the fruit of his
passionate patriotism liar, ripened at last
In a photoplay that has dignity, artistic.
balance, human grip and tragic propulsion,
In addition to statistics and close-ups of
Theodoio Uoosevelt.
The Commodore has beaten his own game.
For "Womanhood" 's about four times ns
Interesting ns "Thii Battle Cry," nud four
times four times nt handsome in visual ap
peal, lu realistic si use, In dramatic value.
U you can stomach .ho propaganda, and the
slight JerklnesM or the story which the
propaganda Invnlvtx, you can ho assured
of a rich two hours of thrill and emotion at
the Chestnut.
The Commodore , new knowledge of tho
slnewii of pholopla.v. an contrasted with Its
flabby extcrloi Ity, ,1 striking and pleasant
to tecntd. lie still puts the loud pedal on
physical agony a 1 It cruelly ; he now and
then lets his sense of situation override I1I3
reasoning faculty. Hut he ha.'i come to un
derstand that a diiiilile-prlnt of the Maid of
Orleans, exquisitely leallr.ed In spirit and
tone, may mean more than a million march-
ling women. He can (nnd doc"0 parallel.
practically, the Cavell case, and make tho
parallel bitter, moving and binutlful with
feeling for tho brutality of life nnd the
healing balms of art and pity. He may
not have tho eye for spacious landscape
that makes a Orlfllth pre-eminent, nr tho
anhnally vigorous stub of incident that lifts
an luce from the rut of the everyday. But
he knows, now. how to clothe his argu
ments lu vivid, wild sentiment and his de
iiuuclalions of pacifists, anarchists and hy-
Phenatrs In the guise of the actual. The
t exult Is n tremendous gain over all his
former spectacles. He will lecture us, but
lie lectures us through our'eyes ns well as
our brains.
re-bi'pi the llnest moment in "Woman

the girl vho has boon Inciting Ainei leans
to arm themselves. She Is shot hy "llurl
tanlan" soldiers, "Knrltanla" being the
name used to cloak the nation Invading tills
country. There are other moments of al
most equally true tragic import, and many,
many others In which tho actors put across
unlikely situations. The cast that the di
rector has chosen Is almost fault-proof
the manly, unhandsome .Morey; the delicate
featured, finely expressive Miss Joyce; the
Impetuous Morrison, tho pretty Miss Hy
land, the sinister, calm Kllgour. Nor do
they work with the handicaps that con
fronted the company of "The Hal tie Ciy."
Not cloth drops, not obviously faked night
scenes, but the impiessive and real form
the standard of production. Sometimes the
argumentative spirit takes from the actors
11 bit of their poise; not often. It Is, all in
all. a film quite worth the time and money
asked. And the ear Is not ncgleVteil. cither.
Yesterday afternoon Burr Mcintosh, once
a good hlstiion and photographer, spoke
for pieparedness. Last night tho Commo

This yam starts out In a somewhat Fair

by keeping Its spectators guessing no do

All, Colonel Savage, have a heart ! Stop
putting so many of our musical comedy

whose legs fly about as swiftly when he has

you entrench the Inherent qualities of your

pleasurable and Jovlanly vulgar Billy H.
Van and other stars and near-stars Flavin
Arcaro. Thurston Hall, James Bradbury.
You havo lint fallen back on the Smith
brothers or (Hen MacDonough for your
libretto, sensing that new blood helps a lot.
You have requisitioned men who know that
"ginger" rhymes with "Injurr." as well ns
"moon" with "spoon." and who can "pull"
every sort of quip from the easily written
"Marie Jardln perfume l ono of our six
best smellers." to the .fieal but not gaudy
fun of things like this: "I thought she
threw you over?" "She did; but you know
how a girl throws'." 1 11 the department
store of your librettists' creation one finds
that tho ostrich feather label Is only a
"noin do plume" for tho fake article, and
that a complaint department Is maintained
for the "help," not the purchasers. As for
tho individual side of modem business, the
saleslady "grows weary selling corsets, if
sho never lies down Oil sits," so she Is given
free cocktails, and so forth.
All theso perquisites, so banal oil paper,
so delectable lu speech, make "Hnve a
Heart" a very good evening Indeet!, Henry.
But there are other matters to ho consid
ered, l-'or Instance, the music of Mr. Kern.
Sometimes Mr. Kern Is exasperating, and
should havo his composition materials taken
away ftom him; lie can turn out a simple
taking llttlo tune so easily, nifil then calmly
rewrite It for the next six seasons. lu
"Havo a Heart" he has vvrnvgit often well,
and sometimes weirdly. From his Itheln
golden overture to the fiothy, sentimental
hits of tho night Is almost as long a ins
tance as from Now York to Bayreuth. The
crown of Mr. Kern's bravery I.". "I'm here.
Utile girls, I'm here." If that 13 not. note
for note, the same tune sung by Martin
Brown In "The Kiss Waltz" years ago. vn
will eat Billy B. Van's purple hat rhred by
dircf..
Billy H; Van Is. of course.' the big main
spring that keeps this cute little amusement
watch wound up and ticking. This gentle
man, wlio has been calling persons "young
fella" In vaudeville for so long, has a curi
ous and penetrating humor that finds Its
chief vent in a "Napoleon" ditty, lie would
bo funny even If "Have a Heart" weren't
an agreeable concoction. As It is, fifteen
minutes could bo cut from It without hurt
ing any feelings. II. D.

Knickerbocker Theatre last night, with Vic
tor Herbert's "Princess Pat" opening the
