FIERY RUSSIAN MUSIC
Stokowski Gives Stimulating Reading of
Muscovite Program at Academy Concert
Not a puff of the artistic atmosphere estab
llshed by Leopold Stokowski yesterday after
oon in the Academy of Music suggested the
sultry summery air outdoors. The .who e n
vlKoratlng concert was an excel ent antidote
fw spring fever. The all-Russian program
riveted an exhibit of the tempestuous and
e?y muslcaf elonuence in which the Fhlla

""A1 climax In this line was achieved In the
richly polyphonic and extremely modern
"Poem of Ecstasy." la which Skryabln tr Icks
out some of tho favorite Wagnerian motives
notably the .flowers girls' chant from -Parsifal'
that are always creeping Into twen
Heth century scores, with masses of tre
mendous tone. The vigor and Iwnulty of
this work are undeniable. The freshness of
basic melodic, structure is more dubious.
Nevertheless, the emotionalism surging
through crescendo after crescendo, as skill
fuUy developed as anything In Richard
Strauss, is highly effective when properly
handled.
Mr. Stokowski Iearly comprehends the In-
lornretatlVO requisite. rurw.. - --
fee ion for the composition lj. emphatically
I!..V.,. n vesterday'o was Ci second per
formance of the symphoiilo pojiin this season
No other work lias been so hi-red in the

In Intrinsic musical worth, however, the
Tscha kowsky "Romeo and Juliet" overture
tanned the program. Hero Is an opulentjy
toJLp'i.,rv tone nlcture which doei more
.spiritual Justice to Shakespeare's love trag
' p?!f ;!.-!, .v.. whole ot Gounod'B sentimental
onera on the same theme. There is no dlf
fusenew In the scoring. It Is compact,
darkly passionate, overwhelmingly sincere
in short, a true masterpiece of Us genre.
Mr. Stokowski gave the overture a superb
reading. .... , , .
The other three offerings of this nonsololst
onneert were colorful and familiar. Rlmsky

sels, where It was
celebrated on the
:3th of April. 1888.
with such pomp and
magnificence that tho
Belgian capital had MtlNCUSH UADZlVVll.t
never seen unj thing
like It before. At that time tho Arenbcrgs
wero settled thero hi their lino u.istln of
Reverie, near touvnln, nnd hardly ever lived
In their Prussian domains. They considered
themselves Belgians, In spite of the fact that
they were hereditary members of tho Prus
sian "Upper House," and ranked as princess
of the Holy German Empire. Immediately
after those ot blood rojal.
But Duko Engclhcrt, of Arcnberg tho
father of the present holder of tho title and
of the Dowager Duchess of Croy. hated
everything that was connected w'lth Prussia,
and would never even consent to visit Berlin.
He died a relatively young man, leaving small
children, who viere entirely brought up by
their mother, who was nIo by birth a Prin
cess of Arenberg, a tlrst cousin to her bus-
THE WIDOWED DUCHESS
Tho widowed Duchess Is a great character
und was famous In Brussels for her prlilo
nnd tho dlgntlled way In which she Insisted
on her privileges. Every ono respected and
also feared her. and even tho lato King Leo
pold II stood in uwe before her, since tho
famous dav, when, hearing she was about to
give it ball Ir. honor of the coining out of
her eldest daughter, the siune ono who was
to bo married u few mouths later to Prlnco
Croy, usked her for an Invitation for a great
friend of bis, a lady belonging to the financial
circles of the capital The Duchess refused,
upon which the King Insisted, and things
went so far that ho declared that he should
consider It as a personal affront If the lady
hi question wns not seen at the ball about
to be glien In the Arcnberg Palace. The
Duchess to this leplled that theio would bo
no ball glieu In tho Arenberg Palace, and
proceeded forthwith to cancel her Imitations,
much to the King's disgust, who afterward
could never hrlt.g himself to forgive her for
this pleco of ludepeudeiico In regard to his
wishes.
The eldest son of the Duchess, after a
very gay youth, became an ofllcer In ono of
tho cr.uk guard regiments. In Berlin, and,
much to his mother's sorrow, became qulto
enthusiastic III his German simpathies. I In
married ono of tho most lively girls of his
time, tho Princess Hedwlge of Eigne, but the
couple never "hit It oft well" together, and
though they have not separated, yet It It
an open secret that they see as little as pos
sible of each other, and that tho young
Duchess has found many subjects of con
solation among the disappointments of her
married life. When tho war broke out. tho
Duke took sen lea In a Prussian regiment.
Thanks to his personal friendship with tho
Kaiser, no obtained the favor that all Ills
Belgian properties and fine castles wero
spared in the general destruction practiced
on sucn a vast scale uy tne l'russian troops.
Some persons have asserted that on the doors
of all tho houses belonging to tho Duko of
Loiivulu was written In chalk, "This Is the
house of the Duke of Arenberg; It must not
bo touched" This was. of course, very
profitable for the object of such a considera
tion, but It mado the Duke most unpopular
among his Belgian relatives, who all of them,
to begin with his own mother, turned their
backs upon him, as soon as they had heard
of the Incident.
THE THHEE SISTERS
All tho three sisters of the Duke of Aren
berg married well. Ludmllle. tho oldest, be
came, as I have already said, Duchess of
Croy: the second Is the wife, or rather, the
widow, of u cousin of hers. Prince Francis
d'Arenberg, while the third and youngest
gave her band to Prince Stephen of Croy, the
head of a younger brnuch of that famllv nml
tho owner of cue of the most famous castles
hi Belgium, that of Roelux, which Is consid
ered one of the wonders of the architecture
of tho .Middle Ages.
The Duchess of Croy became a widow
when she was barely thirty-six years old,
and for somo tlmo it seemed as jf she would
never dream of marrying again, Kho came,
however, prominently to the front In social
and aristocratic circles when her son, tho
present Duko of Croy, announced, to tho In
dignation of tho whcle of his family, his In
tention to marry the lovely American, Miss
Nancy Lelshmann, with whom he had fallen
violently in love. For some time this nues
tlon of the marriage of the heud of tho illus
trious House of Croy becamo tho ono sub
ject of conversation in Paris. Brussels nnd
Berlin salons, and tho Kaiser w'as even nslted
to Interfere and to forbid It. This he might
perhups have done. If the Crown Prince, who
was a personal friend cf both the Duke of
Croy and Miss Lelshmann, had not Inter
fered. much to the disgust of all those who
hopetl that this "mesalliance" would be pre
vented In some way or other.
The marriage, however, was celebrated In
Switzerland, and the beauty and grace of the
charming young bride won for her the hearts
of all those members of the Croy family, who
had consented to bo present at the ceremony,
among others tho Dowager Duchess, who,
much to the surprise of those who knew how
proud anil arrogant she was, declared herself
quite satisfied with her son's choice. This
was more than tils sisters did, the eldest
of whom, married to a Bavarian Prince, said
that sne wouiu never consent to receive tho
"American," as she disdainfully culled her.
The. young couple settled In their costlo of
Dulmen In Westphalia and once or twice put
In nn appearance In Berlin, but In spite of
all tho efforts mado by their friends und by
the Crown Prince and Princess, the Duchess
was not nresented to Court und both sha nti
her husband remained moro or less ostracized
by all those who secretly envied the beautiful
girl, who had carried away one of the best
matches In the whole of Gurcmany.
AGAIN IN BELGUIM
After her son's marriage, the Dowager
Duchess of Croy left Dulmen and settled once
more In Belgium. One did not see much of
her In boclety and she was supposed to lead
a quiet life and to bo very much given to
pious practices. Though she was still young
and very beautiful no one ever thought
that she would marry ugaln and consent to
change her nunio and title", of which she bad
always been Inordinately proud.
But the other day the news get round that
for some years the Duchess had been In love
with the manager of her son's estates and
fortune, and,thut she was going to marry
him, in spite of every opposition which her
determination might encounter on the part
of her children, mother, brothers and sisters.
The haughty lady had discovered at last
that she, also, had a heart, and that it was
worth while to "llvo.and love,"' though this
might Imply the loss of a position Ir. the
world such as but very few women have had
a chance to fill.
