An ordinary drnmatlst would prob
ably have summed up Helene's char
acter by saying that she hnd in her a
maternal streak," and yet It was
much mere than that and Gcrahly has
been nble te sense that difference nnd
explain it in a series of superbly writ
ten speeches.
There is u poetic beauty In the final
line of the first net, with its analogy
te Helene's sudden awakening te her
sltuntlen :
"Isn't that lighted window In the sum sum sum
mcrhouse pretty the servants
persist In lighting the lamp there be
fore they close the shutters. The moths
will .Ket' in, that's certain. Hew
strange! It was bread daylight enlv
n moment age. That one lighted win
ilew makes the whole gardeiv vein
dark."
And, again, there is keOu analysis
nnd striking expression in Helene's
statement te her lever, Chnllengc:
"It's se much easier for men te talk
about themselves. Yeu express your
self in your action, In your daily life.
Hut a woman is known through, such
little tilings se Intimate se intangi
ble. It is always little indecent
when a woman talks of herself, be
cause all slip has worth telling con
cerns her soul only her soul."
There is the same poetry (if net the
keenness) in the line: "Dream
dreams are remnants of our childih
days clinging nbeut our souls."
"Te Leve" then Is something te be
cherished a play of really line writ
ing, and, even though the subject may
he well trodden, u wi-p and feeling in
sight into married life mid sudden
tempestuous romance. It is net throb
bing, vital drama, even though the three
pin) era give impressive performances.
Poselbly if their performances had nut
been quite se bmoetli and se measured
perhaps If they had bad moments of
raggednets and moments of high emo
tionalism, the play would have seemed
less academic.
Fer example, Helene's apparently
beautifully thoughteut description of
the tumult in her Seul, her'detalled ex
planation of her complex feelings,
seemed far out of key with the moment
and with her overwrought feelings. We
were first inclined te blame Gcrahly
for her tee accurate analysis of her
self. Possibly it was rather that Miss
Geerge played tiic scene in tee re
strained a fashion. However, she read
her lines beautifully net in the
slovenly fashion se common new.
In every tray "Te Leve" is a mere
profoundly effective thimi than "La
Tenilrcssc" ; in its translation, in the
acting and in the. subject matter itself.

THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
By SAMUEL L. LACIAR
ONK IIUNDKED YEARS age to
morrow there was born at Liege,
the little Belgian city which played se
prominent a part in 1014 during the
early days of the war, a child who was
destined te give Gallic music n posi
tion In respect te the se-cnlled abso
lute forms of the art which it never
had attained until this composer
reached his artistic maturity. This
child was Cesar Fraud:.
Franck's position in music, both as
te the place which be will eventually
occupy among tlip composers of the
world and nlse his relation te the
cbmpeseis of France, cannot be defi
nitely told as yet. He was chronolog
ically right en the edge of the great
modern movement, the end of which
no man can foresee and what trend
this will take wilf ultimately decide hie
permanent place.
While no less an authority than
Claude Debussy refused te admit that
Cesar Francis was a 'French composer,
claiming that lie was the head of "the
modern Ilelglnu school,' a "school" of
which most of us have never heard, the
fact remains that Franck was Frcncli In
everything except birth. He went te
Paris at the age of fifteen )enrs and,
except for two yenrs which he spent
in Belgium after he left the Paris Cen-
scrvateire, where he did net finish his
course, he spent the rest of his long
and busy life in tile French capital.
And whether he be French musically
or net, according ns one rejects or ac
cepts the Debussy dictum, it is true
that he exerted a greater Influence ever
tbe French composers of his time nnd
the succeeding generation than nny
composer who has ever lived In that
country, nnd that among his close fol
lowers were mere great musicians than
among these of any ether French mas
ter, net excepting Debussy himself.
WHILE in nnether hundred )cars
Franck may net be ranked among
tim great musical geniuses of the world,
he certainly will lie considered mining
the great talents (te use the differentia
tion of Ernst Neumann I and also among
the great musical innovators along cer
tain lines. Whether the lines which
lie laid down will remain permanent
and strongly enough delineated in that
history of Intisic which is still te lie
written will decide the permanent
position of the master
There have been few composers of any
rank whatever who lived the retired
life of Cesar Franck. indifferent alike
te the applause or the censure of the
Crowd, doing his creative work between
the giving of lessens and in the early
morning. It was the perfect example
et living a life of an for art's sake.
The central quality of his music may
perhaps best be described In the word
"mysticism." a characteristic net in
troduced into music before his day, but
n quality which Franck put into
every composition which came from his
pen. Te quote from Ilugus imhert :
"Before him music was scholastic,
naive, graceful, emotional, passionate,
descriptive or picturesque, but tills new
quality (ni)stlelsni) had net before been
revealed. Even the mysticism of
Parsifal' has little in common with Ihat
of 'The Beatitudes. The nature of
Cesar Franck, who passed se much of
his time in divine contemplation, under
whose fingers the organ of St. Cletlillde.
rather with angels than with men, led
him toward tills new development of
his beloved art,"

bert wrote lib musical personality Inte
his work mere indelibly and mere per

Fer this reason his music Is intensely
individual and could lie mistaken for
the music of no ether romneser bv the
trained hearer. There are certain char-

effective employment of unisons in the
chamber music; (if net overdone) and i
the constant use of conflicting rhythms
and sjneopatiens.
On the ethec hand, sonic et his com-!
positions are of inordinate length, nndj
the monochrome character of his or-',
I'liestratien lias frequently been pointed
out. Beth of these assertions are true
te a certain extent. But the beauty
and freshness of the works ns a whole,
and especially in their emotional ap
peal, second only te Beethoven and
Tbchaikewsky, far transcend these rel
atively technical considerations,
"DPT Cesar Franck's greatest service
- te the music of his own country,
that is, France, for he became a natu
ralized citizen, was in bringing the
symphony, chamber music and ether
forms of absolute music te (lie fore. It
is actually true that at that time the
Conservatoire paid no attention te the
symphonic style, care being given enlv
te operatic composition. 1'nder these
circumstances is it any wonder that the
real symphonic list of France is se
short, even today?
Franck's championship of this great
form of music resulted in his becoming
the center of a group of young men
anxious te study orchestral composi
tions nnd chamber music. Of all the
French composers, Franck's single sym
phony unquestionably stuntii at the
very head, and the same Is true of the
piano quintet, the violin sonata and the
string quartet. But his example gave
an Impetus which hnd net before ex
isted in French music and his pupils,
d'lndy, Chnussen (whose symphony Mr.
Stokewski is performing next week),
Pierne, Hepartz, Duparc nnd ethers less
well known, bnve made valuable con
tributions te the literature of absolute
music.
BUT it is a htiange fact that the
man who stnnds next te Franck
In French nhselutc music was one who
had no sympathy whatever with his
work. This was Camillc Saint -Snens.
The two had fundamentally much in
common musically, hut the outward
manifestations were very different. The
gentle Franck hnd nn admiration for
the brilliant Snint-Saens which was

the dedication by Franck of what is en
the whole probably his most individual
and characteristic work, the quintet
for piano nnd strings. Saint -Snens
accepted the .dedication with true
French courtesy nnd then went away
and left the autograph score with which
Franck had presented him lying en the
piano. It was an event which wounded
Franck deeply, although Saint -Snens
apologized and did everything In his
power te make amends for an unin
tentional rudeness. The circumstance
litis its humorous aspect, in thai while
the quintet is of the very gtcatest of
Franck's works, It is the one which
would he most difficult for a man of
Saint -Saens' musical training and
antecedents tn understand or ap
preciate. n
ANOTIIKH singular circumstance of
Franck's career is that while lie
exerted an enormous influence upon the
composers of France, he hail virtually
none upon the composers of ether na
tions. There wns nothing of the world
wide Influence that has been exerted
by Bach, Haydn (in form), Beethoven.
Wagner or (In Instrumentation) even
Berlioz.
Franck's boundless wealth of novel
harmonies was one of ids great contri
bution!) te French musical science nnd,
according te d'lndy, he considered
modulation te be the greatest single
element in musical composition ; cer
tainly his own works bear tills out. At
tile same time he encouraged bis pupils
te develop their own talents nnd al
lowed harmonic audacities which would
have made the old Clierubini. se long
the arbiter of French musical instruc
tion, turn in his grnve.
Franck wrote in nil forms, even two
operas late in life. Beth have been
produced in Pat is, but neither has
survived even the less than thirty years
which have elapsed since their compo
sition. The very idea of Cesar Franck
writing an opera seems as incongruous
as it would have been for Bach or
Brahms. But he left much that is
truly great and will be se considered
for many decades yet te come. He was
late in developing his genius, and his
works were long in nssuming n high
position in public estimation, but they
seem new te have nrrived for a long,
long stay.

MOVIEGRAMS OF THE WEEK
Constance Talmadge as an Almend-Eyed Heroine in "East Is

Adventure" Remance at Arcadia Other Film Nctvs
riE ment Interesting novelties they might b better called surprises In the
film programs here next week are- the appearance of Cenntance Tnlmndge
as a Chinese girl In n seml-serleus picture, and the use of color photography In
feature film.
Ths'flrst-named picture. Is "East

OTHER interesting pieturts of the '
tetek include a sentimental film at !
the Atdine with Bessie Leve called i
"Forget-Ate'Net"; a Peter It. Kyna
aut-of'deort story, "The Pride of Pa Pa
lemar," tit the Karlton, and friccl
Carmen and Kenneth Harlan in "A'e- '

CONNIE TAI.MADQB would prob
ably be the last actress en the
screen whom nny one would pick te per-1
tray an almond-eyed heroine. There '
certainly has been no hint or suggestion I
of the Oriental (or of nn ability te play
character roles) In the flappers which .

. - -. - . . . - . . . . i
the film fans. ,
Perhaps because Sister Xermn once
scored unmistakably in "The Forbidden
City." Constance thought she would
like te fellow stilt. Such parts have
been fairly popular with film producers,
although none of the stars have
essayed them mere than once
Mary Plckferd gave u. the sad little I
hnve been aeveiel mederntelv well
known leading Indies who have assumed
flant-eyed beauty in Sessue llayaka
wa8 many pictures of this character.
Hhirley lasen hnd one raited "Mins
Tey." which, by the waj. huppena te
be the name of the heroine in "Ilast Is
West." Tauri Aekl. llnyakavva's wife,
and Anna May Went; are two who come
naturally by their alillitv te play such
roles.
When .leiepli Seheuek tlecidcd te
make "Hast Is West" he decided teile
It en the snmc elaborate scale which
characterized Nerma's "S mill 11'
Through," nnd se he employed the sntne
director, Sidney Franklin, and told him
te go an far as he liktd. As a ieuU
it ia understood that "East Is West" is
a thing of sumptuous Oriental beaut.v.
the "love beat" scenes in paillcular
being lavish ln the extreme.
Fer the enst of this ter of 111 tie
.Ming Tey and her trials and tribula
tions anil final happiness, both in Clilni
nnd in the unsympathetic Occident, thv
following were chosen : Warner Olnud,
one of the screen'-, best "heavies." for
the villainous but fasclnatlns tote of
Charlie Yeung: I M ward Uurni (for the
here), Nigel H.trrie, who lirst ctine te
the notice of film funs opposite Mar
guerite Clark in the "Hub" stories;
Winter Hall. K. A. Warren. Frank
hanning and Lillian l.awtenee.

AMKHICAN film followers aie well
acipiainletl with .1. Smart Hlaik-
ten. They temeniher linn as uic pic-
turestpie "commodore" president of
the Vltagiaph C.-mpany. and of mole
recent years as the director of such ,
splendid features as Gilbert Parker's I
"Wild Youth" and " 1 he Judgment
Heuse." A couple of ears age he re-
turned te hi native England and began
te produce pictutis et ins own ever in
Londen. 1
The first of these tn reach our slieies!
Is "The Glorious Adventure," and Ihisi
elaborate costume feature hns much of
unusual interest. In the lirst place, tne
Prizma process of coloring has been em
ployed for the first time en a regulation-sized
feature. Thi net only gives
opportunity for a vivid picturing of
the picturesque doublet and hose and
eiiually gay women's attire of the pe
riod, but makes it possible te achieve
far greater effect in the scenes apper
taining te the great lire of Londen
which Is introduced into this romantic
story.
In the cast of this tale of Stuart days
lu court and ale house, aristocratic
gardens and commoners' allejs, we find
first of all Ladv Diana Manner", daugh

Lvesterday's rending of Ts-haikevvsky's
"most popular work was a retnpnrntlvely
new one in a number of respects.
The conductor seemed te nini at the
partial elimination of the Intense emo
tional element which in the past has
j been the symphony's most potent factor.
The tempo of the first movement, ex
i cept in Bitper-rniotienol spots, was sen
sibly deereasfd and the pauses between
the various phrases were noticeably
lengthened, sometime le the point
where they Invited indiscriminate an-
plausi: (which fortunately did net op

instrumentation, such ns the addition
of a sole contra -bass in the imitative
