'Nancy Wynne Tells of the Biddlc Heir She Talks of the Doll
Exhibit and Goes Back to Civil War Times, When
the Great Sanitary Fair Was Held
THERE'S a new nee Biddlc In town, did
you know7 A son wns born on Tuesday
night to Lieutenant and Mrs. Alexander
Blddle, and. lie's to be named for his
Kfandfathcr, the late Alexander Williams
Biddlc. Aleck Blddlo is not a Junior, you
know: for some reason they did not put
the Williams Into his name, but Mr. Baby
has It all right. Ills grandfather was a
very well-known doctor hero as well as a
Biddlc,, and his grandmother, Mrs. Alex
ander "Williams Biddlc, was Miss Anna Mc
Kennan, of Pittsburgh. Mrs. A. J. Drexcl
Paul, Mrs. John Penn Brock, Mrs. Thomas
Charlton Henry and Mies Christine Blddle
are the young gentleman's aunts. He has
no aunts or uncles on the maternal side
of the family, for his mother, who was
Margot Scull, was an only child.. But he
has two devoted grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. William Ellis Scull, I do assure you.
Lieutenant Blddlo Is still abroad, but ho Is
expected homo In tho near future.
DO TOU remember Mrs. Maynard Ladd?
She was Anna Coleman and was born
here and married Maynard Ladd, a well
. known Boston man. Mrs. Ladd has done
omo wonderful sculpture, and there was
an exhibit of her statues and fountains
four years ago at the Academy of tho Fine
Arts. Well, she has Just returned from
Paris, where she spent a year, and she ha9
come hero to stay this week and will give
tho Thursday Gallery Talk at the Acad
emy today. She made a number of masks
for the mutilated soldiers while abroad.
And It's goln? to be the first talk she has
given slnco her return from France. It
strikes me 'twill be very interesting oh,
very !
IIIEAK the Xed Brownings have deter
mined to remain In Palm Beach until
the end of this mon,th. They have had a
succession of guests down thero with them
for a week, or two at a time, and they cer
tainly aro delightful to visit. Mrs. Brown
ing, you know, was Elllo McFadden, anfl
is an extremely popular woman, Do you
remember the Mask and Wig last year,
when tho Brownings' son Ted took the
part of the mother of the bride, and In
sisted on bringing out her knitting for the
soldiers on every occasion? In the middle,
of everything a man would have to stop
what he was doing or singing to try on a
sweater knit by Ted. It was a scream.
He was quite ono of the best In the cast,
and that was saying some.
HAVE you heard about the wonderful
exhibition of dolls that the Emergency
Aid will open on Monday at tho shop at
Fifteenth and Walnut streets?
Famous dolls they are, and I for one
Want to see them. Just think, one of them
is 130 years old. She is owned by the
Montgomery family, having been given by
Miss Polly Cawthrope (for whom she Is
named) In 1784 to Mrs. John Montgomery.
"Elhol Newcomb," the doll owned by Mrs.
Charles Edward Ingersoll, will also be on
exhibition. This doll is really very re
markable. She was bought by the late
Mr. Robert Sturgis, the father of Mrs.
Ingersoll, nt the Sanitary Fair In 1864. She
was dressed at that time by Miss Mary
Cadwalader, who later became Mrs. S. Weir
Mitchell. Ethel has two trunks of clothes
and a frock made by Mrs. Abraham Lin
coln, and tho late Queen Victoria pre
sented her with a set of jewelry. She'll
be some. exhibit, don't you think?
When I look at Logan Square now, It
does not ssem possible that it was all cov
ered over with a tent, top and all, and our
mothers and fathers and aunts were there
under that tent celling selling flowers and
writing letters for the postofflce and doing
everything on earth to make the fair a
great success. For they had a posiofflce,
and you went to it and bought love letters.
It was the great benefit affair In Phila
delphia during the Civil War, and the fa
mous beauties of those days worked Just
as hard as the women of our day. Can't
you see them in your mind's eye, with
thelr'hooped skirts and tiny hats and loose
velvet sacks, and their ioft curls back of
their cars?
Then, besides "Ethel Newcomb," there
Was another doll at the Sanitary Fair,
"Miss Flora McFllmsey, of Madison
Square," and she was purchased at the
i time by the late Mrs. Henry Drayton, who
was ono of the great beauties of her day,
for her daughter', the present Mrs. Madison
Taylor, and Mrs. Taylor still treasures
Flora.
Mrs. S. Megargee Wright has a wonder
ful doll named "Alice"; I suppose named
after the Princess Alice, for she was given
by Queen Victoria for a benefit held in
London for St. Christopher's Orphanage
there. Besides "Alice," Mrs. Wright has a
doll, "PrlsclUa Alden," which had once
been the property of the descendants of
John Alden, and she has also a bamVIno
Vhfch was at one time the property of the
World celebrated Jenny Llnd.
These aro just a few I have heard about.
They tell me there are others that are as
costly and famous, and many of them have
trunks full of clothes.
The committee in charge includes Miss
Way Conover, who is chairman; Mrs. Sam
uel Megargee Wright, Mrs. John C. Groome,
Mrs. E. Burd Grubb, Miss Kate Forrester
Robertson, Mrs. J. Willis Martin, Mrs. Reed
A. Morgan and Mrs. George Wharton
Fepptr.
K
VID you go to hear Mary Garden last
night? She was wo'nderful and the
house wis much larger than on the open
In night. Veryfull and very enthusiastic!
Th Paul Denckla Mills were there and
Mrs. Bob Montgomery with them, and
Margaret Patton In another box; was
tookinr extremely well.
As the programs do not give the story
tt rather hard to follow exactly' and the
funning comments during the performance
Were at times rich to say the least. There
Was a. solemn moment during- the third act,
-n. fcrhen some one sneezed loudly and there
followed a general giggle throughout the
bouse, and I heard one man say to an
other "What, was that?" And the response
(n very audible tones was "Somebody blew
tout a tire,"
!,f Later, as the situation on the stage be-
" rain very tense and two gentlemen with
feathers!; on their hats, and doublet and

Conductor ...Cltofonte Camranlnt
"Glsmonda," the new opera of Henri
Fexrler, based on the play of the same name
by Vlctorlen Sardou, w'ns presentod for the
first time In Philadelphia by the Chicago
Opera Company at 'tho Academy of Music
last eenlng with Mary Garden In the title
role, a strong cast and Maestro Campanlnl
himself conducting.
As a composition "Glsmonda" cannot he
wholly praised and by no means condemned.
There arc many very beautiful places In tho
opera, or rather lyric drama, and It Ja full
of melody, but this melody lies far more In
the orchestra than In the ocal parts. J
Fevrler was not afraid to .write a free
melody, and one of the finest of the many
he has Introduced Is for the orchestra alone
at the beginning of tho third act. This
charming little tunn for strings alone and
harp had to be repeated. It afterward ap
pears in slightly mt.dlflcd form nt the
close of the ballet.
The opera as a whole does not gle the
Impression of a modern French work. It Is
frankly Wagnerian In Its construction. In the
use of the leit-motif, which, howecr, is not
carried out In the strict Wagnerian man
ner In Its orchestration, and, above all, in
its general atmosphere. He has not drawn
on Wagner or any one else, for that matter,
for thematic material, as this nil seems to
be highly original, but, nccrtheless, the gen
eral Impression i that the composer has
been strongly influenced by the Immortal
Richard.
Harmonically, Fer!er has not been
greatly affected by modern French tenden
cies, and there Is little or Cesar France's
Influence shown and none at all of Debussy.
The orchestration, which Is one of the
strongest points of the work, being exceed
ingly rich and beautiful not only In massed
effects, but also In the use of the solo In
struments, Is also Wagnerian rather than
French In style. It Is an opera of musical
assertion and not of atmosphere, as the
modern French music drama Is apt to be,
especially since "Felleas."
On the other hand, many of the scenes
are far longer than the musical and dra
matic content will sustain. This Is especially
the case at' the beginning or father in the
whole first half of the second act. The' last
half Is ery lovely musically, but It cannot
be denied that the first half dragged pain
fully and would be Improved by Judicious
cutting. It can scarcely 'be called an opera
of action, and this has, not been taken Into
account by the composer In the length of
some of the situations, especially those which
are, sheer dialogue. Orchestral -color, how
ever rich, will not, unaided, sustain the at
tention of an audience through fifteen or
twenty minutes of semlrecltative, and there
Is a great amount of this In the almost four
hours that It takes to produce tho work.
The opera was well 'Bung, well acted and
staged"to perfection. Miss Garden was the
star, but she was ably assisted by Mr. Fon
taine as Almerlo, Mr. Maguenat as Zac
carla, Mr. Huberdeau as Gregoras, Mr.
Nlcolay ns the Bishop and, In fact, every
member of the large cast. Miss Garden was
not In especially good voice at the'beglnnlng
of the opera, but her voice cleared up at the
opening of the second act and remained
clear and resonant to the end. Mr. Fontaine
and the othr male members of the1 cast
were in fine voice throughout the 'work.
"Glsmonda" Is essentially an opera of
ensemble. In the sense that the melodies lie
In the orchestra rather than In the olce
parts, and therefore purely melodic epi
sodes are rare.. The most' beautiful parts
were the close of the second act, the great
scene between .Gfsmonda and Almerlo, a
really exquisite bit of composition as well
as of orchestration, and the' unaccompanied
chorus In the church scene in the last scene
of the last act, which forms the background
for an effective solo for the prima donna.
Miss Garden's part dramatically was strong
and gave her ample opportunity for the
exercise of her ery remarkable and artistic
acting.
Mr. Campaninl's conducting was a master-
piece". At all times he kept the huge orches
tra In Just the proper relation to the voices,
and It was never allowed to Intrude unduly,
although the tremendous part which the, or
chestra plays In the melodic scheme of the
work as well as In the color and descriptive
treatment was brought out to the utmost.
The classic dances at the beginning of the
third act were delightful both In conception
and In execution.

"IMPATIENT IDEALISTS"
USED BRYAN'S ATTACK
Circulated His Censure of British
' Administration Throughout
India, Says Editor
William Jennings Brnn' "unfair condem
nation" of the nrltish administration In In
dia as "legalized plunder" and "worse than
Russia" had been circulated by. millions of
copies throughout the Indian empire by "im
patient Idealists. ' according to Rustam
Rustamjae, an editor of Bombay. In a dis
cussion of Indian political conditions today.
Not only had Mr. Brjan's "false facts"
been used to foment bad blood between the
gnernment and the people of India, said the
Indian editor, but it furnished material for
the Indian agents of Germany.
The Bryan attack on Indian government
by England was utterly false and designed
tii "catch Irish otes," in the opinion of Rus
tam Rustnmjae.
"Indian cctremlsjs," he went on. "are dl
Mdert Into the reo1utionlsts, those who sym
pathize and help the revolutionists but don't
admit It for fear of the law and the vision
aries, impatient of foreign domination but
opposeil to lolent methods"
The Bpeaker said that Mr. Bryan had not
"preached revolt" among the native Indians
But his writings, It was atserted, had been
circulated to create n. feeling of hostility
toward the government bv the native popu
lation. Extremists are but a handful of In
