A'ir reading a fe of bit writing our i almost inclined lo the idea that lie ha contributed a net shade to the critical spectrum.

The bon-bon, with their frigid filling, are bad enough, but e submit that the ascription of the color pink it carrying out sprcifica tiont to the ultimate. Hut Debusy always was a literal iit. Some of 1114 piano piece are labeled with .lull lanriiiil title as What the Vet Wind Saw. I he tlirl With the I laen Ilasr. "tiar ileut Beneath the Kam," "Sounds and lYrfiime. Turning in the livening Air," "Homage of S. Pickwick, l'q.." etc. Whether or not the music artually suggests these titles is an other question. The New York Times summarizes an article from the Paris Temps wherein a number of passage's from Debussy's posthumous volume called "Monsieur troche. Antidillctantc" are cited. The author, it seems, ad mires Beethoven, but this admira tion does not prevent him f m tak ing; his little fling at the master never theless. Beethoven's offense in this ease seems to have been the imitative music in the "Pastoral Symphony," whose "not too serious thunder," nightingales and cuckoo calls came an outpouring of scorn from the French author. Famous composers have occasional ly combined literary ability with their creative gifts. Thus Berlioz was active as a critic throughout his J 1 -.Ml larerr, ana nis writings arc mih ru ioyed. Wagner wrote everything from newspaper articles to pani- i,M4.: 1irrtMiHrc 1tl,ifttna mill books. Though he was German be seems to have been Irish enough to love a good fight, and hurled many a wordy Philippic at his enemies. Liszt wrote a biography of his friend Chopin, Schumann was for a number of years editor of a musical magazine, and Saint-Saens wrote novels, plays and astronomical treatises. But De bussy will scarcely strengthen his claims by his attempt to prove the nselessness of the symphony since Beethoven, thus discounting with one gesture all the great works in that f jrm by Schumann. Brahms, Tschai kowsky, Berlioz and all the other symphonic writers of later times. The symphony is a pretty well establish ed form, and we are - glad ' that Brahms, Dvorak, Franck - and Tschaikowsky wrote in it, even though M. Debussy was pleased to call s'-ch efforts "studious and conger-', 'd exercises." ; He flays Wagner, which is rank in gratitude, since he learned much from the composer of "Tristan and Isolde." Liszt, Gounod and Massenet come in for praise. Can it be that our writer . 1 .l 11 Y When Dorothy and Lillian Ci.h p. peartd together in the filming of "Orphana of the Storm," the former atar had to wear a black wig to dis tinguish her from her lister.

LisM. to be sure, was not French, though he spent a consider able portion of his lite in Paris. No, we will not make unjust accusations. Kather explain the case by the con sideration that Debussy was thor oughly French in his feelings, sym pathies and outlook. Thus his artis tic sensibilities would be best grati fied by those authors wlfbse music re flected the same tendencies.

'lh chorus has been recruited from the tegular Ak-Sar Ben sing ers, reinforced by equal rmiiibrr of young laity vocalist. A recent vifit at one of the regul.tr rehearsal revealed several uiifieuing facts, among s his. rt are the following; The ttngert vt young and S""d looking; ihrv have ouod voices and baie been trained to ting with plenty of dash and pini; they have tnrmonred their pan so that the neriomuuce moves bke clockwork: the chorus not only sings well, but 11 very mobile and animated brule, ehig through various ordered movements hkIi svmmetrv and eracr. The opening chorus of flower girls Is melodious and colorful, and the oily Musketeers prove, on appear ing, to be very Jolly indeed, but as thrv carry sword, there is some doubt as to the musketeer feature. However, there is no doubt as to the excellence of the preparations, and the finished performance prom i.'-s to be highly entertaining and aitractive.

The National Association of Harp ists will hold its annual convention in Chicago the first week in April. Miss Loretta DeLone, who will be one of the soloists at the conven tion, has been delegated to estab lish a Nebraska chapter, and has bbecn appointed president. The pres entation of her harp ensemble .in Omaha last March prevented her ap pearance in the New York ensemble, dates being the same. Much will be accomplished in the domain of the classic instrument, which is becom ing more popular every year. The Married Life of Helen and Warren Warren's Vindictive Sister Exposes Helen'! Artful Exchange of Gifts. "They'll be bere in half an hour," announced Warren, turning from the telephone. "they might wait till we get our trunks unpacked," resented Helen. "Just look fl this placet t haven't had time to do a thing," "Well, don't t4rt,iu to polish up now! They know we landed lt night," "Carrie's so inconsiderate!" lustily straightening the library. "Of coni.c, she'll expect their presents and I haven's a thing for P-obbie!" "The deuce you haven't! Thought you'd bought some toys in Naples." "No, 1 derided to get him some thing here and not have to pay duty on it." "And you'd have the nerve to say you brought it from F.tirope;" "Why, everybody docs that! Mrs. Lane always buys her presents he lure they tail. When she gets back, she pins on them the foreign tickets fioin the things she's bought for herself." "Huh!" grunted Warren, disgusted at this depth of feminine duplicity. "If they come before I'm ready--you keep Carrie in here," rushing in to her own room to dress. First she must lay out their prcs entts. The Venetian wallet was for Lawrence, but she was undecided whether to give Carrie the desk set bought in Florence, the torloisc-slull comb from Naples or the amber beads from Home. And the la.'! Warren's sisler bad com missioned her to buy some Ital ian lace and embroideries anything that she saw cheap. All the needlework she bad bought was in that one box. She would have to sort it out and decide what she wanted to keep for herself and that could not be done in a hurry. Carrie would just have to wait. But Bobbie? She must have some thing for Bobbie. Hurriedly she searched through her "Present Box." In this large box on. the closet shelf. Helen kept all her unwanted Christmas and birthday gifts.. But in all that assortment, there was nothing suitable for a child. That white woolen scarf Aunt Knmia had sent her I Why wouldn't that do for Bobbie? Aunt Emma lived out in Missouri she would never know. This left only Carrie's present to be decided upon. Hooking up her taupe georgette, Helen viewed the three things that she had laid out on the bed the desk set, the comb, and the beads. l hat hand-tooled Florentine leath er set would look wonderful on their old Sheraton desk. She hated to give that away; And that fan-shaped tortoise-shell conibl Wistfully, she tried it in her hair. And those amber beads were just the shade for her new embroid ered crepe. The belli With flurried haste, she snapped the clamps on her gown. Bobbie's shrill treble in the hall. Already he was in some mischief, for 'he heard Carrie's habitual, "Don't Precious, don't do that!" They were all in the library when Helen entered. "We shouldn't have run in on you so soon," apologized Lawrence. "I knew you wouldn't mind." Car rie appropriated the most comfort- table chair. "We were in ton for the day and we can t come in nest Jsunday." "I'm glad joq canu," lied Helen politely, "We're not straightened out yet. but Oh, Bobbie, don't da that! You'll spoil Aunt Helen's lamp," Calmly iitiiuring this admonition, t'ohhic continued swiuh on and oil lite table light by jerking the ch:tb " hatch bring me?' he de manded, when Helen tinally diaggrd him aay. "A ingiite that goes 'rotni';" eagerly. "No, that wmibl have been too big for Aunt Helen' trunk. Now, sit down there and be a nice boy and I'll show jou what I have for you." Helen made haitv gilt-tike tissue paper packages of the scarf and wal Jet A moment' fluttering indeci sion and she wrapped up the beads for Carrie. "Gimme! Gimme!" Bobbie charged toward lirr, as she entered. "Something to keep yon nice and warm," banding him the scarf, "Just what I needed." beamed Lawrence, opening the wallet. "Auibrr beads!" Carrie registered disappointment. Oh, thanks, to much." "I thought you'd like them," mur tnurrd Helen. "You wear so much brown," "Yci. they're very attractive," with out enthusiasm, "Is'nt it a pity they're so much imitated? I saw a string at llunbeU the other day for 89 cents. You tould hardly tell them from the real." "Anyone who knows anything about amber could." bristled Helen, flushing at her sister-in-law's Insin uation. "These are the real Neapoli tan amber." "Oh, yes, of course, these are. I was only saying" "What's this?" With precocious disdain Bobby held up the scarf, "It's to put around your neck when you rjlay out in cold weather." "Did you get this in Naples, too?" asked Carrie, examining it closely. "No, I bought almost everything in I'lorencc," evading a deliberate lie. "I liked the shops there so much." "That's curious! It's knitted exact ly the way they knit them here." , "Is it? I suppose they make those everywhere," with well-tcigncd' care lessness. "How about the laces?" demanded Carrie, folding up the scarf Bobbie had fretfully thrown off. "I'm crazy to sec what you bought for me." "I'm soryy, Carrie, but you'll have to wait until you come in again. I haven't even, unpacked the trunks and I've forgotten where I put them." "What d'you want? That box of lace?" broke in Warren, who was discussing conditions in Italy with Lawrence. "That's easy it's in my trunk." "Oh, is it? I'd forgotten just where I put it." Helen could have shaken him for his interference. He was always championing his sister. There was nothing to do now. but to bring out the lace. Again in her room, she took the box from the trunk and rummaged through it with nervous baste. There was one collar and a set of doilies she particularly wanted to keep. If Carrie saw them, she would be sure to want them. Two shows in one. Big Time Vaudeville and Photoplays 11:30 Continuous 11 P. M. Vaudeville 1:30 4:006:309:00 Photoplay 12 2:30 5 -7:30 10 '.
