Brooke in Gcrmantown Valentine Revue to Take Place Tonight in Bellcvue-Stratford WHAT a shock Mrs. Georgo Brooke's death was on Thursday! It was very suddenl Why, thero was to have been A meeting of her dancing clans tonight at Manhclm. She had Just come back from Atlantic City where she had been arrang ing; for a big bridge meet In the spring. Mrs. Brooke is probably better known and moro popular In Germantown's Younger set than any other woman tut there. For years her dancing ilassejs hao been tho big events In the Oermantown younger set. Girls and boys of fifteen and stxteen were always eager to go to the dances, as well as the younger kiddles. Mrs. Brooke and her daughter Charlotte have conducted the classes, and because of her personality and gentleness and great charm I believe there are few women who have been moro generally loved by their friends, and In Mrs. Brooke's case they are legion. She- was taken- 111 very suddenly with a stroke of apoplexy on Tuesday, and never recovered consciousness. Her death oc curred on Thursday afternoon. AllE you going to tho Valentino Revue XX tonight? It's going to be pretty gooa, methlnks, and incidentally It's to be at the Bellevue at 8 o'clock. I can't say I'm awfully strong personally for amateur things, but tho girls In-St. Francis's Aid hava about graduated from the amateur and their dancing and singing aro extra good. It's to be more of a vaudevlllo than a straight plot, and Charlie Morgan has rehearsed them for the dances, so you know it will bo good. A number of the girls in tho auxiliary who aro not talcing pari in the actual show wilt sell flowers, cigarettes and candies to tho alidlence. It's all for a very good cause, so I hopo you'll go along. It's for the benefit of St". Francis House for Conva lescents. (Don't you always get mixed as to whether they call It house or home?) It was founded about ten years ago for convalescent women who are discharged' from the hospitals but are not able to work at once. For years thero was no such homo In or near the city. Then one was founded out near "Wayne and then St. Francis was started, and most of the women taken thero were thoso dis missed from tho Philadelphia Hospital; but It has never been restricted In any way as to hospital or religion. It's nonsectarian and has done great good. Now they have added the late Richard T. Cook property to- that already owned and one house Is used for convalescent soldiers, having been officially accepted by the government. DID you know that Katherlne Bowie Van Telt and Joe are up here from the !?outh for a while and are staying out in Chestnut Hill at the Bowies' home? Katherlne Bowie married Joe .Van Felt, a Philadephlan. too, about three years ago, but business Interests took them to Geor gia to live and they settled in Atlanta for a while, though I believe their first home was in Rome, where the Brewster Koons were also located when they were first married. Speaking of Brewster Koons, he's well on the way to recovery, I know you'll be glad to hear. I told you the other day that he was 111 down in Florida, where -he and his wife had gone to visit Mr. and Mrs. Bob Koons, who are there for tho winter. To go back to the Bowles. Their town hotfso Is 1710 Walnut street, you know, but they spend the greater part of the time In Chestnut Hill. Incidentally, Mrs. Van Pelt Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Bayard Bowie. . IT WILL bo nice to see Cordelia Duke tomorrow, won't It? She and her great friend, Mrs. Reggie Vanderbllt, came on today from New York to stay with the Tony Biddies over the week-end and to attend the great marine rally which Is planned for tomorrow afternoon. Cordelia looks scarcely a day older than when she came out I think she is very appealing in manner, don't you? IF I were the caretaker of the athletic grounds of one school I'd bo pretty care ful not to "pick on"'the captain of one of the athletic teams of a rival school, es pecially when said captain has about car , Tied all beforo him of late. It happened thusly: 'Said captain and two manly friends " and a delightful bit of youthful femininity were perambulating through the athletic grounds of a certain school of a Sunday. afternoon. In another part oc me grounua were several( other strollers. Suddenly out from the little house on the grounds ran the caretaker, and unwisely choosing said captain, yelled, "Do you know thoso people over there?" "Tes," replied our hero. "Come with me, the whole of you," said tho caretaker. Captain said nothing, but having been seized by the back of the neck, neatly separated himself from his captor with a side swing. Whereupon (and I'll say that girl had nerve not to whoop) the caretaker "pulled a gun" and placing It neatly at right angles to said captain's diaphragm, remarked, "I'll shoot you through the middle." Whereupon captain still made no re mark, bo caretaker, with increasing satis faction, said, "And In two minutes I'll shoot you through the head." "John," said the captain to his tall friend, "get out your watoh, so I'll know when the two minutes aro up." And suddenly, the terrorist decided he had met his Waterloo and turned and ran off after the children on the other side of the neld. Can you beat It? NANCY WYNNE.

Reader's Viewpoint Letters to the Editor on Topics of General Interest Agrees With Mr. Penncll To the EtUCor ot the Evening 1'ublia Ledger: Sir Mr. Pennell Is quite right. I think. In his opinion that the Folcctlon of paintings should bo In the hands of artists. Some years ago, ns a student at tho Academy of the Fine Arts, I remember Mr. Chase, In one of his talks to the class, ex plained why the artist was the only man w ho jJiould be on the Jury as art critic, for the selections of paintings He told of the many technicalities con tained In the science ot the art of pointing, which mado or pointed to the masterpiece, and which could only bo understood by ono whose life-study had been rieotcd to it He then, to make his point clearer to thoso of us who had only begun the study, referred to Mr. Carncglo as a great steel producer, and asked If tho quality of Mcel was in question would he nsk tho banker, the liter ary man, tho business man or the man ot culture to act as Judge? Certainly not! Ho would ask the' man who made steel. So lu art, a Jury for the selection of paint ings should be of men who paint. However, having had the prhllcgo for years of drinking milk 'and cream from the dairy of one of the honored directors of the Academy of the Fine Arts, I would like to iyiy, for the comfort of all concerned, that there necr wps such milk, and of all the cream In the world, It was tho "cremo de la creme." Tho price, accordingly, was most Impor tant, a thing of great consideration. If this master mind can produce an an nual exhibition of such quality and find such prices for tho painter's nt, surely tho Academy Is In the best of hands, and our resident friends of International fame, need not have any fear for tho future ot me modern artist or his art, If left In the hands of this oldest ncadqmy of onr country. In which tho Interest Is for art nnd art alone, SARAH FIELD SHAW. Bcrujn. Pa., February 5. Defends Academy Management To-IAe HtttCov o the Evening Vttblle Ledger: Sir Why will Mr. Pennell break Into print? He Is quite, as out of place In print ns he thinks business men out of place on the board of directors of the Academy of the Fine Arts. "Shoemaker, stick to thy last," Is quite as applicable to him as he thinks It Is to our business men. America Is in tho ascendancy today ma bo In art ul and Europe may also follow our lead In having practical minds to help the artistic ln'management of public art Institution. Men ot light nnd lead ing influence and sagactly ore needed to run a grent corporation like our Academy. Our Academy Is well rim, thanks to the business men. Business managed by artists has always been slipshod and Bohemian. Vrtlsts do not buy the other fellow's pictures nor do they monopolize the artistic instincts. The greatest art critics never painted pictures, nor the greatest composers sing their own songs. A STOCKHOLDER IN THE ACADEMV. LansdowTie, Feb. 6.

ALDERT LAESSLE--..-.- formally tomorrow in the Academy, at this evening PENROSE BEING URGED TO SUPPORT SUFFRAGE Thousands of Phila. Women Arc Sending Daily Letters to Influence Vote Thousands of Philadelphia onifii are sending dally telegrams to Senator Penrose, pleading with him to otc for the Inderal suffrage amendment, which thoy expect to be voted upon in the Senate Monday. The telegrams are the result of an appeal made by the Equal Franchise Society of Philadelphia, one of the sK suffrage organiza tions of the city which hne banded together to work for the passage of tho amendment. "There are three possibilities facing us. said Mrs. Wilfred Lewis, acting president or tho Equal Franchise S6clet of Philadelphia. "The amendment may go through, as we till hope; It may remain one te short as It did last time. or. the worse alternative of tho three, the Republican party may try to fill, buster It. They may try to keep it from coming up nt this time In order that they may pass It later when they are In power and thus win the glory. Work Would Hoe to Be None Oier te .v, amendment dosen't come up at this time all our work In the House will have to be repeated It would also mean a delay In the ratification of the bill by three-fourths of thp State legislatures. Many of the State legislatures will not meet again till 10.1. As forty-three of them aro In Fesslon this car. It Is an excellent time for the passage of our bill. , "Do you realize that wc arc the only Lng-lhli-sptaklng people who do not hae equal suffrage? And et we loe to aunt our democratic Ideals. Ecn the new Oerman re public has set us an excellent example by electing thirty-four women to Its national as sembly. "It Is not that Pennsylvania as a people are opposed to suffrage. This State In 1015 lost suffrage by tho smallest margin of any of the four large States voting at that time New Vork, Massachusetts, Xcw Jersey and Pennsylvania. Since then the feeling for suf frage has increased greatly because of nat ural development nnd because ot women s work In the war. "Pennsylvania men have had no chance to express their, change of sentiment and recent favor of suffrage. It Is up to our Senators to express this feeling for them Monday." Mrs. rinrhot Optimistic Mrs. Clifford Plnchot. who has been Identified with politics slnco 1912 and has served on many suffrage committees uotn iaie nnu national, is most optimistic concerning the passage of the bill. She sas "It Is clearly up to tho Democratic ote, for on tho whole Republicans are' solidly behind It. "We cannot be too grateful to Cocmor Sproul for his frank advocacy of the amend ment, and although Senators Penrose and Knox haftiot changed their lews, the senti ment among women everywhere In tho State Is strong for suffrage. Furthermore, the Legislature Is pledged to ratify the amend ment If It goes through." In speaking of tho position of Congress. Mrs. Plnchot said that both houses were much stronger than when thq amendment wis brought up before, and she attributes this added strength to tho fact that'women hao done such admirable work during tho war. The alternative, In case the fssue Is again lost, will he a plan suggested by Governor Sproul of a State referendum. The Equal Franchise Society has sent let ters to more than 400 clubs In the State, urging members to besiege Senator .Penrose with telegrams and letters. Other organiza tions of this city active In promoting the pas sage of the bill Include the National Woman's party, Woman's Suffrage party. College Suf. frage League. County Suffrage Society and the Cathollo Woman's Society. Representatives of some of these organiza tions will he In Washington Monday to tako part In demonstrations' and direct 'appeals to the Senators. 1919 EXHIBIT THE CRITIC 6y -VEVHArH ADAMS?. MME. SAMAR0FF PLAYS WITH THE ORCHESTRA Philadelphia Pianist Gives Fine Reading of Brahnis's Concerto. Scriahine Poem Performed Mine. Olga Snmaroft In prhate life Mrs. Leopold Stokonskl was tho t-ololst at tho concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra at tho Academy of Music jeMerilny afternoon and gao a beautiful rending ot tho Brahms con certo In B flat for piano and orchestra. The concert opened with tho familiar Leo norc No. 3 oerlure of Beethoven, one of tho greatest orchestral overtures of all time, which was read and plnjed with taste and tplrlt, after which came the concerto. There Is probably no work of the matured genius of Brahms that Is more character istic of the great composer than this con certo. LIko tho lolln concerto, thlch pre cedes It by only a few opus numbers, the plnno concerto Is nothing of a "show piece," but at the same time It makes the utmost demands upon the technique. Knowledge, feeling nnd Intellect of the performer to make It effective. R Is more austere, both In melody and emotionally, than the violin con certo, lacking. pcrhap, homo ot the warmth of the latter both In the solo part and in tho color of the oichestral accompaniment, and is. therefore, tin- more dlfllcuU to play. Mmc. Samarorf's Interpretation of the great work showed a (lno sene of emotional values, but nlnajs maintained nn artistic restraint and dignity. In full keeping with the nobility ot the composition. Her tone was wnnn and full of beauty In the princi pal melodies and light and giaceful 111 the ornamentations of the main themes In which the solo pait abounds Of especial beauty was the cxqulslto andante, w here the orches tral (parts have most of tho melodies and In which Mine Samaroff's nitlstry probably reached Its highest point Thero was never any attempt to force the roIo part unduly to tho fore, but the entire concerto was Interpreted ns n Composite whole, and the clear delineation of the musical thoughts with which It nboundt wai inanlfcstlj the object of the distinguished planistc. She rc telvtd many deceived recalls at the eloo of the work Mention must also bi made of the beaut) of the iiLconipanlment of the orchestra. The work Is almost i-j inphoiilo In Its general character nnd In the elaboration of the the matic development In tha orchestral parts, giving the Idea lather ot a sjmphony with piano ubllgnto than of a tcnceito for solo Instrument with accompaniment. The cello polo hi the andante was plajed by Mr. Klndler with much beauty of tone and re finement of tabte, as was also the second subject of the same movement for two clari nets and tho m1o Instrument. Tho relation of 'the piano to the orchestra was admirably maintained throughout, both by tho soloist and the members of tho orchestra. The program closed with tho "Poem of Uclnsy" by that most remote and solitary of modem orchestral writers, tho Russian, Scrlablne. Mr, Stokovvskl has given this In volved and dllllcult woik here before, but It must bo confessed that yesterday's hearing did not niHke the Intent of tho composer much clearer than did tho previous ones, In spite of the program furnished in Mr. (joepp'si notes. It Is compowd for an enor mous orchestra. Ave trumpets nnd eight horns being required, and contains every known modern device of orchestration nnd composition. The thematic material is fragmentary and vomewhnt episodic, and harmonically It is full of dlFsonanci-.s, unresolved suspensions and altered chords, while a favorite plan appears to havo been to write a melody in ono key and an elnborato accompaniment, built upon other themes lntho work, in an unrelated key. Just what Jhe ultimate position of the composition In modern music will be can now only be guessed at It has all the earmarks of sincerity, but Its sheer musical beauty. Judged by prerent-day standards, in open to question. It was splendidly played, desplto Its enormous dllilcultieH, und conducted by Mr. Stokowskl with much sympathy and cviucm eninusiasm.
