eason in the hlitory of the onrnnltntion
vvitli a superb performance, of Mahler's
Symphony No. 2 in C minor, for or
chestrn. chorus, soprano solo nnd con
tralto solo.
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

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

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. "!:. which he wished to
convey .r rl e diT' rent movements. 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. Ench
movement except the second and third
is strong'y reminiscent of grenter mas

which protects tbe binding, for tho in

calls this book "a fnrefl." And clearly
tho form, the sotting, by way of scene

is dramatic; but when we consider the

"farce," too, la peculiarly misleading;
for the situation of personal predica
ment, real merriment nnd fun for fun'

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. "Lllull" Is really
n trenchnnt satire; Its subject the dis
illusion which hns fallen on our some

Pollchlnello says "Bnhr . , ,
Later in tho play Truth is carried In
triumph blindfolded, decorated, be
dteened, clonked nnd guarded by der
vishes, sentries, dlplomntlsts nnd jour
nalists. She struggles free and hnlf
naked for a moment only to be recap
tured nnd robed ceremoniously once
moro while the crowd Is admonished to
hide their eyes until told when to look.
TWO groups of people, tho Gnllipou

picnicking on cither side of the ravine.
Thoy repnlr the bridge nnd, on good
terms with ench other, pass refresh
ments and compliments, when the
diplomatists Intervonc
"Great God. what aro you making n
bridgo for? By what right? In a state
thnt Is well ordered whatever Is not per
mitted is Interdicted."
And they establish customs, excises,
examinations for dlscnfco and demand
thnt the bridge be strengthened.
"For what?" t
"For cannon."
And here l'olonius mounts the ros
trum to explnin: "Modesto Nnpoleon
l'olonius, delegate of the pcaco con
gress." "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." Pollchlnello
disappears in the heap and Liluli sings:
Wmt ore you lauKh anil tnooi my tr'.cnd,
At fate. Ah. wait until the end.
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. The pictures by .Meserecl in
their grntesquenctis nnd studied crudity
seem npproprinte to n subject in which
beauty can find no plnce

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. It contains nn inti
mate first-hand account of n partici
pant in Fome of the most important
events of the period, nnd is thus n com-
binntion of history
and thrill ns un

"A Chair on the Boulevard"
The Seu York Times says: "Gay and witty, mirthful and sparkling,
vivacious, yet touched at times with a smilingly wistful irony which
enhances their gaycty by its tenderness, there is scarcely a talc in
the volume which does not deserve to rank as a little masterpiece.
"It has often been said that all the tales possible to tell have long been
told; yet one of the most enjoyable things about this most enjoyable
volume is Its originality. . . 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

Icnn edition of It hns just been brought
out by Doubledny, Pnge & Co., with
tho shortened title "An Ocean Tramp."
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
