"Bleed and Sand" was a realistic picture of Spain, but was rnthcr skctchily adapted from Ibane.' novel r partially redeemed ly Skinner's uctlng. "The White Peacock" is styled en the program us a "remuure." It Is u carious' mixture of melodrama nnd .drama of purpose uud character. L'u L'u 'fertunately, the two never mix. The action in the first two acts is drnggy enough for the most subtle "tract play." There Is un endless flew of words, with only nn orcasienul moment or fe of real cleverness. The characters pause Impressively and enuneinte some line or ether in tended te be a sparkling epigram. A dd step fellows, which Is the cue for the audience te absorb the scintillating thought and npplaud, but unfortunately there Is cenernllv l.ethlnir te unnluud. Such manifestly old similes u.s that of comparing divorce te the washing of dirty linen mark the npex of brilliancy is the play's lines. ' The Inst act rises te real dramatic power, partly, it mu-t be admitted, because of the remurknble uctiug of E. L. Fernandez, who gives us vivid un. intoxication scene us we have seen in long Ume. But even that scene was wtlrely tee long, and almost lest Its inect. Hew much worse was that in terminable scene between the two Jjemen in the scceiiil net which hud little or nothing te de with the ud tanccment of the action, Bctnienlly "The White Peacock" Is Jttervlng of high praise, far mere, in ftct, than either "Bleed and Sand" or 'Spanish I,o-.e."

Yt'fUU Aria, ,fMla Hperanxa Adorata"......Merart Scotch ympheny .Mendelssohn Aria, "Arladive auf Naies"., Strausa "Death and Trananruratten" Strauss Maria Ivegun, soprano,' and Richard Strauss, composer, divided honors nt the concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Academy of Music yesterday, and perhaps Miss Ivegun wen out, as she made a great success In one of the most difficult coloratura arias ever written, and that was also by Strauss, the "Gress Mnchttge Prlnzcssln," .from Ariadne of Naxet. ' Miss Ivegun has one of the firmest methods of singing that bas been heard In this city for years, nnd her voice lucks nothing except volume te make her the greatest singer en the stage to day. In the enormously difficult "Mia Spcruuza Aderntn" of Mozart, one of the hardest concert arias ever composed, she showed a clearness of voice, un agil ity of technique and a clarity and per fection of enunciation and Intonation which Is possessed by. few ether singers new before the public. Her range Is very great, and the color of the voice maintained In nil the registers. The Mozart aria gees te the F above high C, and It was taken with firmness and per fect clnrlty. The Strauss number Is mere difficult in the strnngc Intervals which nre written for the voice nnd In the sudden changes of key, In which the soloist obtains little assistance from the orchestral parts, but all were taken with perfect intonation and a delightful qual ity. In addition. Miss Ivegun showed thnt she appreciated the difficult emo tional levels en which the strongly con trasted compositions which she sang arc placed. There wns real music in every thing which she did, nnd only power was lacking. If she had this, she would be practically without a rival today in the vocal field. The ether feature of the program wa a remnrknblc rendition of Strutiss' "Ted und Verklnrung," perhaps, when nil Is said and done, the best of his scries of tone-poems; nt nil events, the most emotional. Mr. Stokewskl gave nn un usunlly Ann reading, and the members of the orchestra pleyed ns they have rarely done bgfere this season. The program opened with the IntenM overture, "Die Fliegcnde Hellander," in some respects the best of the Wagnerian overtures for concert purposes. The symphony was the se-called "Scotch" symphony of Mendelssohn, the shallow ness of which wns made strongly ap parent beside the tremendous musical content of the ether numbers of the pro gram. "Mask- and Wig" Shew Soen Rehearsals are new in progress for the-thirty-fourth annual production of the Musk and Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania which has the title of "Tell Tales" and is based en the story of William Tell und the apple.

An Ex-Child I Relinquish Mir Responsibilities YOU cttn hardly imagine hew happy I felt, when, after six years of con stant labor I discovered 1 could new relinquish the responsibility of raising my parents. De net suppose thnt It wns because these parents of mine had learned nil the tilings they should knew. On the contrary, their education hnd just be gun. But, of course, they didn't rcahze Lthls. Like nil parents, they thought they knew it nil. My release from my task came, about in this way. I wus engaged one day in making an experiment in applied psychology with our deg. The experi ment consisted In attaching a shining tin container te his tall uud then ob serving the effect upon the deg. HIGHLY gratified with his reaction, which was instantaneous, I was turning my attention te the capture of a particularly large, bleated toad, when I noticed my nurse hurrying out of thu house excitedly. A little Inter she came back with n small, sad-looking man carrjing u hnndbng. Then the neighbor ludles be gan te gather In smnll, excited groups and move in the direction of my borne. My curiosity wns aroused and I made a beeline for the house te see what was going en. But several of the neigh bor women intercepted me uud cajoled me away.
