The only concert this season of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Josef Stransky, conductor, was given vesterday afternoon in the National Theater before an enthusiastic audience. The program was made up of six Wag- ner numbers and two of Tschaikowsky Mr. Stransky’s players have i in many ways since heard here last sea- cendos and beautiful decrescendos. The introduction to the third act of “Der Meistersingers” was played with quiet | dignity and smooth legato, while the in- troduction to the third act of “Lohen grin”’ was played with dash and marked tempo. “Dreams,” by Wagner, a_number of great beauty, was played with a d«licat poetic interpretation. The two Tsc kowsky numbers were interesting. “Francesca da Rimini,” which cl the program, was pl; with tre- mendous climax. The brasses did their ibest work in this, although several | times the intonation had not been what |is expected from members of an iganization of the attainments of | Philharmonic.

They are 3 welcome addition to the m The smallness of the audience day was due probably to the large num- iber of orchestra concerts scheduled for { the season. Last vear there seemed to be an un- usual number of piano recitals. Eight orchestras from different cities of this country and one from far-off Italy will have visited Washington before the close of the current season. “THE MASQUERADER.” Seldom does a Washington audience greet the return of a play as did the one which witnessed “The Masquer- ader” at the Shubert-Belasco Theater last night. And the play and those who acted its various parts deserved every bit of the applause which came at frequent intervals throughout the production. Guy Bates Post, who takes the lead- ing part in Richard Walton Tully's presentation of John Hunter Booth's play, founded upon the novel by Kath- erine Cecll Thurston, happily is af- forded an opportunity to display his exceptional abilities in “The Masquer- | ader,” which calls for two distinet! | personalities, one, of the human wreck, slowly dying from the poison of morphia, the other of a brilliant young statesman and writer. who ren- ders his country the services of a pa- triot in time of need. Mr. Post, who takes the parts of John' Chilcote, M. P., and his “dou- ble,” John Loder, young journalist, is admirably supported throughout by a cast which is well selected. Elwyn Eaton, as Brock, the faithful servant in the Chilcote family, is convincing in his role, which cails for difficult acting. Eve Chilcote, acted by Alice John, 18 attractive, and wins her audi- ence’ through her naturalness and cleverness. ~ Others whose work is aboye the ordinary are George Cowell, as Bobby Blessington: Katherine Ray- more, as Robbins; Willlam H. Sams, as Herbert Fraide; Reginald Carring- ton, as Mr. Lakely, and Barbara Allen, as Lady Lilllan Astrupp. “The Masquerader” is a play which 8poils in the telling, for one of its charming characteristics is the diffi- culty experienced by those who see the working out of the plot to fore- cast what is to come next. “ROMANCE.” Holding an audience spellbound through dramatic scene after .dra- matic scene with the charm of her marvelous acting, Doris Keane, in “Romance,” Edward Sheldon's play, opened the week last night-at the Shubert-Garrick Theater. The story of the play, dealing with the love of a young clergyman for a famous singer, whose life has been wayward, to put it mildly natural- ly filled with possibilities. To add to the interest and colorfulness of the play, the story s sct down in the great American metropolis more than fifty years ago, in the New York of a more stately day. The picture is faithfully and interestingly carried out, and the costumes of the women, voluminous in the extreme, stagger the imagination of what the cost of women's gowns today would be if a similar amount of material ‘were used. While “Romance” is not a new play, it is a play that satisfies and re- wards the secker for literary worth as well as charms him who may be see ing merely entertainment. It W named. Romance, that spells “hope young and “what might tb the aged, holds ay throughout. It is an episode in the life of a great singer and the life of a young man destined to become pil- iar of the church—a bishop—in his riper years. Like in many plays of recent years, the device of beginning in the present and harking back to the long ago is employed in “Romance” If there is a criticism to be made, it is that the prologue, and perhaps the epilogue, ! might have been eliminated.

Ysaye Il A telegram received today announces the continued illness of Eugene Ysaye, conductor of the Cincinnati Orchestra, making necessary the postponement until later in the season of the concert scheduled for the orchestra at the New National Theater next Monday after- noon. “Joy Bells.” Al Reeves, who claims Washington as his home town, has forsaken the lure of the spotlight ‘and assumed the more lucrative role: of producer of burlesque shows. His latest at the Gayety this week is a nonsensical offering, featur- ing Harry Cooper, otherwise known as “Heinie."” The story around which the show is constructed concerns the advent of women into the realm of politics, and gives opportunities for the comedians to extend themselves to the limit, both in regard to the political game and the customary rap at the eighteenth amend- ment. Others in the cast, in additiom to Marry Cooper, are ~ “Snitz!

As is frequent in fic- tion—and in real life—the woman in the end proves the st ger and h plea to Armstrong to “save her soul” is heeded and he leaves her. “Varieties of 1921.” Harry Carroll and company in “Va- rleties of 1921" head this week's bill at Kelth's. It is a combination of pretty girls, clever dancing, good nging and handsome although ab- | breviated costumes. Carroll at the piano introduces many of his songs, including several new on a way that sends the act over a pleastng “zip.” The star of the com- pany is Fern Rogers, who has a sweet soprano voice and won many recalls for her Interpretation of songs worth while. Her quaint old-fashioned cos- tumes make a pleasing picture. The Goslin Twins sing well and dance de- lightfully, and Harry Laughlin meas- ures up with the stars in dancing numbers. The six ‘“chickens” that comprise the dancing chorus are un- usually pretty. Old-timers “were glven pleasant surprise when James Kelly and Emma Pollock came on in a quick- fire conversational act, filled with many bright quips and jok Miss Pollock, years back, was a queen of favorites’ with the Harrington and Hart company In New York. She still sings well, and her tough girl Is a laughable character sketch. Another old favorite, Thomas E.
