DO YOt' know that on Wednesday of this
week the I'ony Show will be held out
at the Itillie Clolhier-s place in .vnne

wns really n pony -how nnd hnd a dog show
nK n side nffnir then the next ear they

then n doll show nnd then n rummage snle
nnd now if ou please, they nre going to

Sasportns. He will donate his receipts to
the show, isn't that great? ,
It's really most attractive out there and
as I told 'ou the other day, I would not
miss it for worlds, even though it is to
be the day before the l'nrndc.
SPEAKING of the Tarndc reminds me,
did vou know that they have decided not
to serve luncheon on the fifteenth nt
Scdgeley Club. You know thnt every day
in May there is a, luncheon nt the Scdgeley
Club nnd lots of people entertain. Hut this
week, of course, ever body will be cheering
nnd smiling nnd crying their heads oft
along the line of parade, if they nre fortu
nate enough to be nble to get u sent in one
of the many grandstands, or else they'll
be hanging out somebody's office window.
Did you ever see anything like the number
of them? And those banners on Chestnut
street nre stunning with the names of the
various battles written on th"in.
I HEAR thnt Isabel Gittings hns sailed for
France. She is going in for overseas
work with the Y. M. C. A. nnd expects
to umain. with the nrmies abroad for nt
leasC?six mouths. Her mother was Miss
Morton ou remember an older sNter of
Mrs. John Story .Icnks, .lr., nnd a sister also
of Arthur V. Morton nnd Miss Helen Mor
ton of this city. Her grandfather was the
late Dr. Samuel (5. Morton, who was one
o the most eminent of the riiiladelphla
doctors of his day. The family used to
live on Chestnut street between Uroncl and
Fifteenth. Now MNs Helen Morton nud
her hiothcr live nt 1341! Spruce street.
The Gittings live in the South. Isabel has
been rlolng splendid work nt Camp Mend, Vn.
Tmcan Va., not Md. Well, be that as it
may, she wns one of the students nt the
first Chevy Chase camp. Do ou remem
ber that camp about four springs ago. when
Marian Sha'plcss (good night, she's Marian
liutlev now) and Hetty hHliot nnd Knther
ine Field nnd Sophie Jlisplinm and lots of
other girls from here, went down to Chevy
Cha'-c nnd drilled nnd did nil kinds of stunts
om time nnd went to bed nt il I. M. nnd
rose at (i g. m. and hud. n perfectly great
time.
Isabel hns had a lot of experience in en
tertaining, she hns gone to girl's camps as
n counsellor for several summers nnd thnt
is some training, believe Nnncy. She is
altogether n perfectly charming girl and
there Is need of just those kind of girls
who aic healthy, and sensible; nnd with
understanding minds, over there.

night when ever body else in. Philadelphia
went too, and as 'I was passing the ele

like that) threw hack its trunk nnd opened
i(s funny mouth for peanuts. Of course
ever one threw pcnnulH to it nnd then cunic
the joy of the evening. Ah I stood there,
I saw two persons nppronching. She was
banging on Jlis mm and they wcie having
a wonderful time. Then they came to the

YSAYE AND ELMAN PLAY
Give an Interesting Recital of Music for
Two Violins
Eugene Ysnye, who may almost be called
the dean of violinists, and Mischa Elman,
the young Russian virtuoso with the untamed
temperament, gave n most unusual concert
before an immense nudience at the Metro
politan Opera House Saturday evening. The
numbers were confined to selections for two
violins, and opened with n Concertnnte by
Mozart, followed by the (5 minor Sonata of
Handel, the great D minor Concerto by Itach
and Moszkowskl's Suite No. 1.
Rothj these artists rely more upon beauty
of tone combined with volume nnd smooth
ness,. rather than upon absolute accuracy of
tempo nnd tonal adjustment of the highest
typo. This has its advantages, especially
in solo playing; but where there is another
party to be considered, ensemble work must
come first, even to thesarrllicing of some
other detail of playing. In the early numbers
of Satilrday's concert there was an apparent
lackof this ensemble, which, however, wns
corrected before the program had progressed
very far.
Probably the best-done number of the ey.
nlng was the Uach double concerto, unques.
tionably the greatest composition ever set
down for two violins. The tone quality of the
work, notably in the slow movement, was
exquisite', and it was given with great refine
ment of feeling and poetry. The other selec.
tlons, which were nil lesser In scope and in
thought, were also well played, nnd the large
house tfemnntfeu many cncores; wnicn, owing

ORCHESTRA DEFICITS
CALLED UNAVOIDABLE
Association's Statement Shows
High Salaries and Limitation of
Performances Cause Losses
XcecMnr high salaries and the Impos
slbillly ot frequent performances nre gien
ns the chief icasons why orchestra concerts
do not pay expenses, in n bulletin just is
sued by the Philadelphia Orchestra Asso
ciation. Contrasting the profils mnde by successful
plays nnd the income deiivcd from orchestra
concerts the association states;
"A play is put In lehenrsnl and on the
stage, is played eight times u week, and
the same play will 'mil' for twenty to
forty weeks. After the first few weeks the'
profits begin.
"An orchestra changes lis program ench
week. This means lie new rehearsals each
week. During those dn.s it cannot be nwny
nnd play in other cities; it must rehearse
in the same building in which the con
certs nre gicn, so that the proper effects
can he judged for Hie public concerts.
"An orchestra seldom pln.is more than fne
times n week, nt tare times, ou lour, six
times. Hut, usually, il is physically im
possible to gho more than 1011 good con
certs dining n sensnii of twenty-file weeks.
All the rest of the lime must be ciicn to
rehenisnls, and (he rehenisnls menu snlniies
going on, but m income.
"Again, the nicrngc piny has a cast of,
sa, , from Iweulj to fort persons. The
Philadelphia Orchestra has 100 men on its
pny loll.
"The salnrj lit of an orchestin must
necessarily be high. Scores of compositions
hnxe solo parts. I'm- those miIo purls, when
the ltnlin, the cello, the lliitc, the horn, the
harp or whatever instiumcnt is culled foi ,
plas and the rest nf the orchestra is silent,
there must he the best musician obtainable.
The best musicians mean high salaries. A
program mqv not i nil for a solo for the
flute once iiplhree mouths; but when il is
called for, the skilled musician must be
there with his nbllit. An ou'liestinl con
ductor is necessarily high salaried: his work
is so arduous nnd so much depends upon bis
skill. His salary must go ou for lift -two
weeks of a car, for in Ibe summer he must
prepare his programs and stud new com
positions. A 'star' actor's salar stops when
he stops playing.
"A pin is conducted bv an administrative
organization that has finm lic lo Iwent
plays at one time. The 'overhead' expenses
nre divided nnd charged against each play.
"An orchestin must lime u similar nd
miuistrntion, but its entile cost must be
charged ngainst the single miliestin that
it manages.
"If the present two almost sold out
audiences which gather ccry week to hear
the Philadelphia Orchestra could be re
peated, as is u play, six or eight times a
week, then the orchestra could pnv its ex
penses. Hut no such number of conceits,
could be giien in Philadelphia or in any
other one city. Thereto! o. the oi chest rn
must thivel lo oilier cities nnd make up,
in part, the losses on the Philadelphia con
certs. And so lnrge nre those losses thnt
even by trn cling they can mil be made up
in pnrt, because the oicheslin cannot too
often be nwny from Philadelphia."
