was declared at the time, "put Phila

some who know our city's record In

ment, without in any war belittling
the achievement of the Mahler work.
Perhaps It would be more euricct to
say that It made some of our nclf.snt
Isfled sister cities "sit up and take
notice."
The work requires three soloists, a
tenor, a mezzo-soprano and a bari
tone, and some of the most fatuous
singers In the country nrc now being
considered for these roles. It will be
performed on March 1 and 0 and, to
make those concerts even more note

and March 10, and the Saturday eve
nings billowing these dates. The
Usual change from Good Friday to

GREAT SPY STORY
"Mare Nostrum" Is a Talc of
German Intrigue Such as Has
Never Before Been Written
When n great novelist writes a Ger
man spy story the reader expects some
thing worth while. The reader then
will not be MIsappolnted with Blasco
Ibanez's "Msrc Nostrum," for the
Spaniard is without doubt one of the
greatest novelists now writing. One
feels his mastery In every" page of this
remarkable book. It reminds one of
Hugo and Dumas in its dramatic power,
and in the wide range that It covers.
The title Is taken from the affee
ttonnte name of the Latins for the
Mediterranean, n name which its hero
gave to n ship which he commanded.
The book is the story of the life and
adventures of Captnin I'lysscs Farra
gut, a Spanish sailor, of Valencia, born
of a seafaring family, which had taken
up a less ndveuturous life upon land.

yielded to It. When the war broke out
he was seeking cargoes in every port of
the world. While waiting In Naples to
fill his hold h" met n brilliantly seduc
tive woman who proved to be a Ger
man spy. He woos her In vain until
her associates decide they can use him.
then she surrenders herself fo his de
sires and holds him a captive to her
charms for weeks until the plans to use
him are perfected. He has pledged his
word to do anything for her and when
he is asked to carry oil l to German
submarines he is forced to keep his
promise. When he returns to port Italy
has entered the war and the vampire
has 'disappeared with her associates. On
his way home he learns that the sub
marines to which he had carried sup
plies have sunk the vessel on which his
only son was a passenger. His love
for the woman change, to hate, and he
devotes himself thereafter to serving the
Allies. The woman pursues him, how
ever, and does her best to ensnare him
ngnln, but she falls. A more convincing
portrait of an adventuress has never
been drawn than that which Blasco
jbancz iin, ma(e of rcn. she has
i lhe Kt ,ur( thnt ,, ndnpensable, and
she l a regardless of truth as though
u ji,i .ie u.. ui,.i .1.. i. n mn.f
it did not exist, but withal she is a moU
pathetic figure. And TJIjsscit himself,
ton between his passion, and his better
nature. Is a creation which would mnke
the reputation of any novelist. It is
not at nil surprising thnt the book,
which was published early in August,
had to be put to press thirty times be
fore the month was ended.

There are countless Shelley WIcketts

dency toward gentle phllanderings.
It is with such as these that Julian

the romantic ndventurlngs of Shelley
WIckett, who relieves the tedium of
codec brokerage by falling with delicious
splashes into a succession of innocent
love affairs.

THE DRY SPELL
An Attempt by Morley and
Haley to Mitigate It Rigors
No one who Is not a rabid edvocate
of total abstinence can rend "In the
Sweet Drv nnd Drv." a burlesque on
the prohibition movement, without
bursting his buttons with laughter. It
is so unmitigatedlv ridiculous that It
is surprising that anv sane men could
have conceived It Tet its authors,
Christopher ?.orlev and Hart Hnlcy,
an supposed to be sane.
It Is the storr of the conflict be
tween Itishop Chuff, who is opposed
to evervthlng thnt makes life worth liv
ing, nnd Virgil QuImWctnh. the pro
jector of the Corporation for the Per
petuation of Happiness, Qulmbleton
wants drink preserved nnd Chuff has
succeeded in destroving it and Is enrrv
ing his warfare against nil the prod
ucts of nature out of which alcohol can
be mide. A compromise Is finally
reached when the bishop consents to-
the creation of the office of perpetual
souse to be held hr a man who shall
he continuallv splfilicated, lighted Up,
loaded, or what ou will, ns an exnm
plc to the rest pf the world nnd to
preserve for the information of antl

Incidentally the bishop's daughter,
who has been brought up In the at

Qulmbleton In his work of preserving
happiness. She is a psvehic, thnt ,1s,
she can put people In cnmmi.nlcntlon

holic. The authors play with this Men
to some extent nnd produce several
psvchlc jags among the characters.
Those who cannot sie H joke without

is an hour or two of unalloyed mirth
in its pages.

What War Did to the Men,
A glowing tribute to our soldiers Is
paid In "Wheh the Hoys Come Home."
bv Lieutenant Harold Hersey, of the
Ninth New Yqrk Regiment of Artillery.
It wns written in camp when the war
seemed to be nearlng the end nnd the
boys would soon be going home. Jle
wanted to prepare the family nnd
friends for the changes wrought upon
their boy by his experience ns a soldier,
of which the principal things would be
devotion to duty nnd love of country.
The ruling motive of their lives he
thinks may be revealed In the pledge
written In the notebook of Private
Treptov, and found on his dead body
on the battlefield: "America shall win
the war; therefore I will workl I will
save, T will sacrifice, I will erjdure, I
will fight cheerfully nnd do my utmost
as if the whole struggle depended on
me alone." There are no descriptipns
of battles, but it Is simply a picture of
camp life, in which emphasis is laid
upon the glorious Influence wrought
upon the soldier by continuous service
and unfailing obedience to every com
mand. WHEN TUB nOYS COMB HOME Br Harold

''Storm in a Teacup" Study in
Matrimonial Caprice
and Reconciliation
Medora Dingle Is the most capricious
of women. She abandons n devoted
husband because she believes him too
light of mood, a gay-hearted, full
blooded male, who thinks onlv of the
joys of the present. And she elopps
with a mon whose v"ry lack of these
qualities eventually drives her from
him.
Medora Is one. of three central char
acters in Eden riiillpotts's "Storm In
a Teacup," which, like others of this
writer's novels, has England's Dart
moor district for Its background a dis
trict of busy and commonplace Industry,
whose technicalities arc so abundantly
woven into the story ns to make it a
bit wearisome at times. '
Dingle and his wife are workers In a
great paper mill. There, also, labors
Jordan Kellock. Both men had been
rivals for Medora's hand, and Dingle
won. As the story oppns, Medora is re
gretting her choice. She finally per
suades Kellock, a man of high though
cold ideals, that her husband misun
derstands nnd abuses her, and Kel
lock takes her to London.
But the elopement Is on n lofty plane,
too lofty for the buxom Medora, who
realizes that now she has made a real
mistake, and who proceeds to recti
fy it by the simple expedient of re
turning to nn accommodating husband.

Compton Mackenzie's Acto
Novel Winds Up Her
Florid Career
Sylvia Scnrlett, the alluringly hec
tic heroine of Compton Mackenzie s
like-named novel, reappears again as
the central figure of "Sylvia and
Michael." She will be remembered as
the brilliant, erratic nnd unconven
tional girl of Indubitaolc family, though
of somewhat mysterious antecedents,
who marries, who runs from matrimony,
who becomes nn actress, nnd who hns
many odd nnd some rather scandalous
adventures.
Her later career Is ns florid nnd
eccentric ns its earlier period. As
cabaret singer, refugee nnd war worker,
her adventures are many nnd fnscinnt
lng. And they arc, if anything, more
unconventional than ever. Thackeray
once subtitled a book, "A Novel With
out a Hero." Mr. Mackenzie docs not
so label this novel, but Michael Fane
docs not appear in his pages until the
book is two thirds under way. And
then he comes in ns n typhus-stricken
patient In the riotous Balkans, nt about
the time Bulgaria is entering the war
on the Huns' side. Sylvia, by the
providence of fiction, happens to be nt
Nish, then being evacuated by the
Serbs, nnd takes him in charge. Her
nursing brings him back to life again
and to her. Sylvia's and Michael s
Annbasls furnishes the highly romantic
finnlc of the novel. Only through many
adventures and trials nrc they nt last
enabled to cry "Thalassos."
Mr. Mnckcnzlo excels in feminine
psychology nnd his interpretation of
Svlvia's moods is well done. He also
projects n very vivid picture of the
exed Balkans during the mid war, when
Bulgnr nnd Austrian made their sweep
almost to Salnnlcn. His irony at the
expense of British officialdom, mili
tary nnd diplomatic, is ery delicious.
Altogether a readable boolc, nnd some
times n fascinating one.

"THE BRANDING IRON"
NOTABLE FIRST BOOK
Both Melodrama and Real
Drama in Romance of
East and West
ICathnrlne Newlln Burt, who Ist by
the way, one of the Ncwllns of Chest
nut Hill, and the wife of Maxwell
Struthers Burt, well-known short story
writer, hns achieved distinction In her
first novel, "The Branding Iron." Such
n judge of red blood in fiction as Ilex
Bench Is nn record with the wish that
this "Romance of West and East"
were catalogued among his books, and
Itupcrt Hughes, a novelist of another
tjpe, thnt of the social nnnljst and the
prober of passions, also accords high
praise. The commendation of her older
colleague is well deserved, for Mrs.
Burt has written a story with the ele
mental emotions, the clash of wills,
the conflict of variant characters, and
the sweep of large, fine passion, nil
prominent, jet all proportioned to the
scalp of her theme.
Thnt theme Is the rise, interruption
and revival of love between two primi
tive, pnssionate beings, in a wild en
vironment. The forwnrd surge of the
story has constant cllmnxes in melo
drama, yet not thcntricalized melo
drnmn and in the mnjor culminations
of interest hn real drama of Impressive,
moving quahtv and almost august slm
plicitj (as, for instnnce, the closing
passage, where Pierre nnd Joan nre
united). Itanch life is vividly described
in the earlier parts of the book and
the more sophisticated life of the Kast
is equally well portruyed In the sec
tions describing Joan's stage triumphs.
The portrait of the "villain," Gael, Is
masterly in Its subtle lines.

He hns made a point of propounding

It to the best of his knowledge and

arguments from authorities such as
British parliamentary papers, Whit
