The rendition of tbe elaborate nnd complex choral parts of the compo sition was one of the very best that the rhilndelphin Orchestra Chorus has civen since it wan established. There r not. too much for the chorus to do In this symphony and there is therefore no opportunity for the voices of the lticers to tiro nor for the audience to tirn of the choral effects ns wns the .ise in the Mahler Eighth Symphony tii' or six jears nfto. Tho Chorus was ell balanced, had fine tonal quality, together with sufficient volume of tone itnl knew tho composition from end to thI Mr Tounsoml has done Fome fine work with the Philadelphia Orehes. tra (horu. but nothing which in finish nnd in thorough knowledge of the onra- ,-:t ii-.ii approached the perfection of t'ie work of vesterdnv The Second Symphony requires two sololnts. soprano nnd contralto, and the oolo parts were admirably ming by May Peterson, soprano, nnd Merle Aleock, contralto. Of the finest poxiblo mui rinnship wns the opening uenl number, the contralto (.olo. "Thou Ited. Hod Hn"," in the fourth movement. Tho movement is very short but eolcinn. nnd l in the manner of a chorale, oon MMing only of a contralto solo Miss Alvk sang the Hnch-like number in exquisite taste and with a beautiful qii.ility of voice, her work here being one nf the high points of the entire per formance nnd one of the moet consum mate pieces of vocal artistry that has ever been henrd in Philadelphin She wns nlmost equally tine in the boIo nnd f ncemb'o passages of the tinnle. which is the only movement in which the ch.init. is employed, nlthough the possibil.tics of vocal and emotlonnl display in the last movement nre not nearly o many t or so effective ns in the short solo. Miss Peter-on did well in the soprnno solo pnrt. which is written well within the soprano register, a fact whi'h ordi narily gave Mahler little concern, to judge from the Eighth Svmphony and some of his songs Orchestra Plajed Well The orchestral parts were exception ally well plajed. The music Is "tricky" in the parlance of the prac tical muicinns, as there are many un expected topi in phrases half com pleted in one instrument nnd finished In another, the mo-t difficult form of or-che-trnl writing as far as the actual execution is concerned Yet not once nns there n serious "break " It W true that there were occasional Hlips, such ns in the sudden sforznndos fol lowing extreme pianissimo in the ntro ciously high horn parts, where the human h,i ennnot n-pond to the Im possible demands of the composer, but flu' brnss pnrts, the nub of the sym phony, were superbly performed. In n genernl rendition of such n super lative degree of merit, it is perltups un fair to tho members of the brnss en semble t make distinctions, but mention should be mide of the work of th" first and second trumpets, LTrnest Willinms and S l Cohen, the Intter having nn unusunlllv prominent part, the first horn, Anton Horner, who had a 'emnrkiibly high nnd difficult en semble part with few .lo pnssnges demanding his extraordinarily benuti f'l! tone, nnd the first trombone, tiarde1' Simon wlo p'ued his exact .:ig pint with a variety nf tone nnd a degree of musi' lanship rnre.v hearil in this sadly ir.sundertood and generally bnd'y trea'eel instrument The Wor1 :vft a ComHsition The sju-ph n ns a omposition is impressive 'nrge'.v hr-nrse of its con ciseness b . ,t cannot be classed ns a great or.g-.nn; work In it Mahler seems to ! ivo taken various of the grentes- ;.ns..r. us models, nccording to the sn.

The composition is divided into hix pnrts. the first three for orchestra, the fourth for contralto solo, the fifth for orehes tra. lending wl'hcut paue into the finnle. u-hrre the chorus is introduced, w'th the so!o voices and an elaborate instrnrmn'ai ncrompaniment.

ROMAIN HOLLAND'S TRENCHANT SATIRE In "Lilulir the Author of "Jean Modem World at War in a Should Make Hy FELIX H. Profrsnor of liitllnh I.ltrrnlure In iT ILULI" is Illusion, and it is a nltv that for plnrlfv'n nnke. In the Kngllsb trnnslntion, this production wns not bo cnllcd. The noto descriptive, printed on the temporary paper cover which protects tbe binding, for tho in formation of the general reader nnd the guidance In particular of the reviewer, calls this book "a fnrefl." And clearly tho form, the sotting, by way of scene the procedure by wny of dialogue, all is dramatic; but when we consider the drntnatis personac, which contains a score of "crowds" nnd choruses, dis tinguishable each from the other, be sides such person ages ns Master -God, Ducrer's Benst, Pollchlnello and Ilurl dan the Ass, It Is plain thnt representa tion on nny atngo could scarcely have been contemplated. Tho designation "farce," too, la peculiarly misleading; for the situation of personal predica ment, real merriment nnd fun for fun' sake, all nro foreign to the ironic, sntlrienl ntmosphcre of this strange nnd origtnnl production, its dealing in masses by way of abstraction, Its alle gory, its premeditated confusion, its bitter probing beneath appearances, its snrdonic pessimism.

Turning up again in a batch of books for review the other day, I was stimulated to n second reading nnd nn answer to this ques tion Uomaln Holland, it will be re membered, was sometime professor of the history of music at the Sorbonnc CUnlversiry of Tarls), a distinguished biographer, especially of Heethoven nnd of Tolstoy, by which latter he has been deeply affected in his opinions. Itorn in Rurgundy. in eastern France. Holland, while of ninny generations of French ancestry, hns none the less in him much of the Teutonic pnirlt. In deed. 'Menu riiristopb," with its Ger man hero, wns an effort to reconcile the contrasts, nntngonlsins nnd mutual mis understandings which separate Teutonic nnd Latin cultures ; and it would have been difficult to conceive of one better fitted for that delicate task than Hol land, with his enthusiasm nt times bor dering on sentimentality, thnt pns.sion for nrt. especially music, nnd that spe e ics of transsendentullsin which we I associated, nt least before the war. with the Germanic genius. Hut Holland possessed, too. the clenr, locicnl trnin ing and polish nnd finesse which we ns so.'iate as inevitably with the traditions und culture of France. When the war enmo M. Holland was one of those un fortunates in whose very veins the clash of empires throbbed.

"The point In theso hnppy days," he 6nys, "Is to choose, like the rabbit, with what sauce you wish your giblets stewed. Do you prefer being slaughtered above ground, under ground, in the air or in the water?" A ridiculous, n saddening scene is thnt in which poor Janot, forced from his land, on his nss, and Ilnnot on his German mule, meet on the bridge, both good humored, each willing to let the other pass, until egged on by the fnt men (profiteers), tho diplomatists, the intellectuals and those of fettered mind, they fall to fighting nnd both roll over into the nbyss. The same fate is that of Altnir, the youth, nnd his counter part nnd friend, Antnres. And tho in tellectuals thereupon remark : "They have passed. Oh. what nn epical spectacle! Down they roll I A glorious chill of heroic svveetnebs moisten? me nil up my back (Don't lean over too far. ) Oh, what a sublime fate!" In the end Pollchlnello. who nlso dared not go with Truth, thinks to osuipe. Hut everything collapses "fight ing people, furnlturo, crockery, poultry, stoneti, earth aud nil."

T HIS Is but a tnsto of this wholesale satire on mankind. 1 have been unable to see a copy of "Liluli" ns the author vyrote it. And I rnther suspect that much of the poetry and nearly nil of the style which menns so much in nny thing French hns evaporated in the process of trnnslntion. which is nnony- mous nnd uppears to have been none too well done.

Morenu de .tonnes, Just sent out by B. P. Dutton it Co. Morenu de .tonnes was born in Hennes I.",8 Jlnd wns drafted for La (nye'tos Nntlonnl Guard In Paris In I7iw, and from then until he wns twenty-seven yenrs old he wns almost continuously cngnged in some hazardous and thrilling service. In his Inter yenrs he devoted himself to geography and statistics, wns elected to membership In the Institute, nnd wns tho best-known statistician in Frnnce. He died In 1870. at tho ago of ninety-two. He wrote his adventurous reminiscences when he wns ? ruung ,man ani tno oyents were still fresh In his memory. Ho did not pub lish them, however, until 185S. The book did not attract much attention nt tlio time. It hns not been accessible in Lticlish until tho nresent edition, thn trnnslntion of which was begun In 1014, I l "'""P-cu uy tne war. If the author hnd not demonstrated in his later lifo his devotion to facts ii re""cr would be Inclined to tho be lief thnt the story of his adventures wns Inrgely pure romnnce, becnuse the young man did so ninny dnring nnd in credible things thnt it is hardly con ceivable that ho could have come out alive. For example, he nccompnnied n French ship to Portsmouth in 1707 to assure the mutineers in tho British nnvy of the assistance of tho French. His companions in the smnll boat sent off to communlcnte with what wns sup posed to be a schooner in control of the mutineers were killed, but before they died they hnd killed or wounded nil tho men on tho schooner. Morenu de Jonnes then bonrded the schooner, threw the dead into tho sen, cut the anchor ropo and started back alone to ward Frnnce. The night was dark nnd stormy nnd he hnd no compnss. As n result he lost his wny nnd found him self in midchnnnol opposito Cnlais when morning broke. lie vn nvorhniilod liv n faster boat nnd taken to the Nore nt the mouth of tho Thames where he acted ns the French neent in commit- nicntlng the French plnns for the ns slstnnco of the mutineers. Hut the mu tiny was suppressed before anything could bo done, and he wns hidden for fifteen days in a deserted house and ' was linnlly enrned bnck to Frnnce by some friendly boatmen, but not before he hnd seen Parker, the lender of the mutiny, hnnged from the ynrdnrm of Ills ship. He nccompnnied two expedi tions of the French to help the Irish insurrectionists nnd hnd thrilling nd ventures ench time. On the first ex pedition he surprised n company of British soldiers nround n enmpfire. They hnd killed n girl who had helped him find his wny to the camp of the insurrectionists, and in order to punish them for what they had done he mnde his way secretly into n church before which they were canined, got a keg of powder, took it out to n cliff overlook ing the enmp, threw it into the fire nnd blew the whole irevv into eternity. He tells his story cnlmly and in n most mntter-of-fnet way. There is no boosting and little revelntion of whnt wns going on in his mind when he wns nnssing through grave ilnngcrs. He does indlcntc, however, that he wns nffected by whnt he pnssed through, for while he was in Sim Domingo when the insur rection of Tout-smut 1'Oiivertnre wns nt its height he saw the burning of the city of St. Christopher and the nccom pnnying nmssaeres nnd was so overcome thnt he could not mnke his way to the shore to l'oin his shin under the nro- tcction of the Ameiican consul until he hnd buried his head in n bnrrel of cold water Hut the book is more thnn a mere record of daredevil fenta nnd hnlr breadth escapes.

Leonard Merrick is first, last and all the time Leonard Merrick, unique and unapproachable. . , , Those who have gone with 'Conrad in Quest of His Youth' or rejoiced in the adventures and love affairs of the poet Tricotrin 'While Paris Laughed' will need no other incentive than the memory of these to make them seize with wholehearted gladness upon 'A CHAIR ON THE BOULEVARD' " By I.EOS !W MERRICK, "a supreme artist at the writing of a story of any length," author of Conrad In Quest of His Youth; The Actor-Munaver; C'jnthia; The Position of Peggy Harper; The Mnn Who Understood Women; When Love Flien Out o the Window; The House of Lynch; The Worldlings; While 1'nris Laughed.

Mr. McFco has written a long Intro duction to the new edition In which ho tells of his experience in getting n nuhllsher for tho book. It is a most delightful piece of writing. It shows how fnr he has progressed townra tno crcntion of literature since 1008. The book itself is Interesting in a wny, but It lacks distinction. Tho new in troduction is nothing If not distin guished. If nny professor of Kngllsb llternturc wishes to give his students) a lesson in the history of style he enn do no better thnn to commend to them n rending ot this book with Its new introduction. A Runaway Girl In "The Tryst" (.T. B. Lipnlncott Co.) Mrs. Ornce Livingston Hill has written n story which no modern girl would blush to have her grandmother rend. It is nliout n girl who rnn awny from homo nnd had a lot of surprising adventures ns the companion of a rich lndy, nnd flnnlly married a young min ister nnd straightened out the troubles nt home which had mndo her run away. It docs not belong to the RuBslnn school of fiction, nor can it be compared for photographic detail with "Mnln Street," but tho ndmlrers of Mrs. Hill's novels will find it much more Interest ing thnn the fiction with greater clnlms to literary distinction. A Curious Tale Norrann Douglas, whoso "South Wind" received highly laudatory re views from the most noted Kngllsh critics, has written n "trnnge story in "They Went." He hns commnnd of n most fascinating style, simple nnd flexible, but rich in its Implications. It is highly indlvldnnllzed. His new story Is nn odd romance thnt Is nlmost plnccless nnd dntelcss. It hns n princess, nn nrchdruldess nnd other characters euunlly strangely conceived. Fnr nwny ns it is, from the movies, even the cinema fnn might well like to read it for Its growing fnsclnntion, for Its theme is ns universal as human nn ture. THRY WKNT. tlv Norman Douglas. Nw York!
