"I nless the Philadelphia Orchestra
can add $1,000,000 to its endowment
fund in the near future, it will have to
. iirtail its activities or, possiblv, dis
band. Its position as first orcl.cstrti
of America, if not of the whole world,
dopsmds entirely on whether sufficient
money can be i.iise.l in the month of
October, l'.lli). We must go to the peo
ple of Philadelphia at that time ami
asl; them to 'save tho orchestra. "
This statement was made to the Phil
adelphia Orchestra Association some
months ago after u rigid investigation
of the orchestral situation by a com
mittee appointed for that purpose. As
a result, the coining endowment fund
campaign was planned with the slogan
"Save the orchestra!"
The first step in this campaign will
be taken on Monday at a luncheon nt
LEOPOLD STOKOSK!. Conductor-

selaer is president, will give a. series of nine luncheons at the KHz

THRILLING INTRIGUE
'Chinese Puzzle,' Play Turned
to Fiction
Leou M. Lion's play, "The Chinese
Puzzle," which Intrigued the Interest of
warworn London and which is shortly
to be 8tnged on this side of the water,
has been very successfully novelized.
The playwright has had thc assistance of
Marian Hower in thc iictionlfnctiou.
The two of them have turned what
certainly must be n compellinir nnd er.
citing work as acted into an absorbing
nnu iiiriiiing work in tho new form of
narration. Usually novelized dramas
nre unsatisfactory reading, ns the thc
atrlcalism of the original situations is
obvious to the point of crass melodrama
nnd the personages, deprived of their
histrionic interpreters, become mere
puppets. .Such works are likely to be
come nothing more than utorlcs of
plots, without substance, atmosphere
or" characterizations.
All these pitfalls nre avoided in "The
Chinese Puzzle." The Chinese nnibas
sador, subtle as the serpent, and a
cruel, is. a genuine creation. Lady
de la Haye is an intensive and rtal
study in feminine psychology. Sir
Uoger and Naomi have vitality. But
the story is not essentially a study of
character, but one of intrigue, hjnglng
on the theft of a secret pact bctweeu
China and England. Life in n great
English country house, diplomatic Lon
don, high society, the contrasts between
western and Oriental Ideals furnish
material for the speeding action.
