Wlchmamnoff WPLEASES WITH COMPOSITIONS Hess Composer Who Plays Piano, Reviewer Opines After Concert. By GRACE HA TCHINGS. Whether Sergei Rachmaninoff is a great pianist Os a great composer who plays the piano, is a much mooted question today. In the mind of the humble reviewer, after hearing his recital at the Murat theater Sunday afternoon, he is a composer who plays the piano. It has been said that one book may make a author and one play a playwright, and now we know that one musical composition can make a successful concert pianist. Years ago Mr. Rachmaninoff composed a “Prelude” in C i?karp minor and that one number made him famous. •He has many compositions to his credit, but the public will never let that “Prelude” die. That he knows this and is anxious to please his public was deonsyaxlous to please his public was rlemon*ffckneyed number a place on his program. Mr. Rachmaninoff is, of course, a fine pianist, but he is best when he .plays his own compositions. His reading of other composers is different from any one else. He plays in an analytical manner. He seems fond of abrupt accents and pauses and of sharp contrasts. Also he affects a very staccato bass ngainst a- very legato right band, which may be novel, hut often spoils the musical thought and intention of the composer. He seemed anxious to imprint bis own individuality on all that he played until he came to his own compositions, then he became a musician. All of his spectacular striving after effects seemed to drop from him. He played warmly, poetically, submerging himself into the music. He had programmed, besides the “Prelude,” a “Waise.” a gay little composition, and he added as encores another “Waise” and a “Barcarolle,” both of which were masterfully played. Next to his own compositions, his best playing was done in the Chopin “Waltzes,’* Mozart “Variations” and two Mendelssohn numbers, “Rondo ’•Capriccioso” and the “Spinning Song,” the latter added to the first grfcup for an encore; Two other Chopin numbers “Scherzo,” in B flat minor, and “Ballade,” P minor, and the "Faust Waltz” (Gounod-Liszt) completed the program. Whether or not we agree, with Mr. Rachmaninoff In his peculiar and unique interpretations and the audience, made up largely of musicians, seemed to be greatly disagreeing as they left the ater, we will at least have to admit his is a flawless technique and a marvelous personality. He presents a brilliant and Interesting program. There was not a dull moment from beginning to end. 'STOCKS OF NEW THEATER TAKEN

CONFESSIONS OF v A BRIDE

Jordan Spence forgets peril as he finds fair patient.

The men whom our hospitality had rescued from death , bowed first to me and then to Chrys, but no one spoke. There didnt Beetn to be anything for us to talk about! It's always so in the grave emergencies, I suppose; the most highly civilized persons are restrained and dumb. The woman who goes Into hysterics, and cries c faints at a crisis and increases the .üble, whatever it may be, never proves herself extraordinarily emotional and supersensitive, as she flatters herself. She merely proves herself an undeveloped specimen of her sex and a particular nuisance. By being i • fectly unable to say a word, for a long time, we proved to each other tbat we were all of a highgrade a# human beings. We knew that we could trust each other, no matter how greatly we might be tested in the hard days to come. I, myself, had to laugh a little, not Obviously, of course. Now, two hours since, I bad been entirely alone —sealed up in a rather splendid tomb, to starve —or go mad! And I bad admonished myself that, at last, I had arrived at a place where I couldn't possibly make anything happen 1 Nevertheless, my tomb bad become almost too thickly populated—and crammed with potentialities. Almost anything might happen! 7, regarded my companions with immense curiosity. Gene Archer, engineer, was a mem her of Bob's college fraternity. .\! ready I could gue the trend of bis thoughts. His eyes moved slowly around the walls, the floor, the ceiling of the rcom. His feet, as he tramped about., seemed to feel throughythe thickness of the rug for ' some betraying hollowness of the structure, some unevenness of equilibrium, some slightly swaying flagging In the pavement. Also, I could guess something of Jordan Spencer's thought Ho was absorbed in Chrys, not by right of love at first sight, but by reason of his scientific knowledge. He was a famous physician —and even In this he had found a case! He would let Archer plan our escape—he would trust bis life to Archer- but while It lasted, he would devote It to his pet science. “And that is the reason everybody reveres Jordan Mpence,” I said to myself, “everybody in Europe and America. Even the Hun!”

Very lately. Jordan Spence had come home from France as otie of the tued ’ ical heroes of the war. With the Jordan ; millions—hia mothers' money—he had i fitted up magnificent reconstruction hos I pitals in more than one town in France. j He was devoted to his mother, and she j to him. They had a unique record of j war service, founded on the man’s com- j plete absorption in his work. Even in the tomb where we were imprisoned, he j had discovered a patient in the exquisite j Chrystobel Lorimer —who had lost her ! voi'-e. "I do believe Prince Charming has | come at last," I said to myself. But I , didn’t believe that Chrys had any such idea. I wasn't interested In her thoughts, however. No woman can guess what another woman has on her mlud. Chrys might be considering,the pattern of the blue and gold carpet, for all I knew. it was, in the end, the dumb girl who first “spoke.” She advanced to the center of the room and indicated by a rather dramatic gesture, the prison below us from which we had just rescued the two Americans. “Miss Lorimer is unable to talk, temporarily," I explained to Gene Archer. “She is asking about your guards, I take it. She wants to know if they will not follow you up here?” Chrys smiled exquisitely—she didn’t even bother to nod| her head. “The lady’s ‘query’ 1b practical,” said the engineer. “Os course, you will be searched for,’’ T broke in. “Don’t you suppose that your Jailers know ail about the loose flagging which revolves so mysteriously in the roof of the prison?”—Copyright, 1920.

Asa conventional chorus girl, Constance Talmadge is delightful. And this is just the part she takes in “Two Weeks,” the screening this week at the Circle. But Connie goes through a number of daring things, that one might call unconventional, but really they are, in a way, unavoidable. The star is seen as Ltllurn, wn energetic girl of the stage, who, with her two chums, manages to keep out of a job because of her narrow views. Alfred Clonbarry is an ardent suitor of Lillum’s, but tbe girl lias no love for him at all. However, she know3 tluit threugb his power she can land a good job behind the footlights and become famous. He promises her that he will not mention love until she has gained success. Finally that time comes, and. mi honor of the occasion Clonbarry proposes a celebration to be held at the home of Brady, Lilium’s manager. On the way to the Brady home Lillum slips away and takes refuge in a deserted house. When Clonbarry comes to the bouse and makes ugly remarks he finds two men, who decide to let the girl remain at the house for two weeks. In the meanwhile strange things have happened, but a clever ending Is brought about. George Faycett is a delightful old bachelor, and Conway Tenrle, always big and strong enough to support the littlp star in her wild escapades upon the screes.

Why Pay Laundry Bills? We heard an enlightening story recently — something like this Two neighboring housewives employed the same lauudress, who spent a day at each bouse, requiring, in addition to her hire, street car fare, breakfast and luncheon. Later the family income of the laundress increased to the point where she determined to “retire.” For two weeks the men folk bundled the Weekly wash into their automobiles (they were outside the service radius of the laundry wagons) and carried the soiled garments to town and brought the fresh laundry home again—when it wasn’t forgotten. Then one of the men bucked — said he'd “be switched” if he’d turn his car into a tiuck e’ en for fresh clothes; something else had to be Two days later there was a Maytag in one of the homes and its owner had made a. proposition to her neighbor that the two of them )) do their laundry together each ' week, the one without the m&chine to supply her maid as a helper to square accounts. , That was a year ago and the plan still works. Now the laundry for both families is on the line long before lunch time every Tuesday morning, whereas before, the washerwoman required two days One of the husbandST, who told the stfry, says that in a year the machine h| paid for itself and furnished a net profit of $50.00 in money actually saved.

of Ernest Schmidt, plays Tschaikowsky’s “Valse Des Fleurs.” -b -I- -fs\ ALIIAMBK.ys The “Thirteenth Commandment,’' which has caused much comment and conjecture, is “Thou Shalt-Not Spend More Than Thou Earnst.” And Rupert Hughes, who has written the story, has chosen his characters well. In the photoplay based on the story, and which Is being shown at the Alhambra theater the first part of this week, Ethel Clayton portrays Daphne Kip, the extravagant daughter of a money-worried westerner. She and her mother care nothing for the money they spend, but, to keep up appearances, spend more than the father earns. Daphne is engaged to Clay Wimburn, a man of wealth, and she and her mother go to New York to complete her trousseau. Daphne finds that, on account of her father’s limited means, she can not buy unrestrainedly, and decides not to buy any more until she is able to earn the money herself. She cuts away from her family, and engages a room with an elderly couple, A young millionaire offers to establish her on the stage, but she fails to succeed as an actress. After several disappointments in her search for employment. Daphne suggests that her landlady enter business with her and establish a shop for brides. She proves her ideal to her mother that women should be partners with their husbands, and not an expense. Miss Clayton has a very good part in this picture, * and makes the audience fee 1 sympathetic and admire the strong minded Daptjfie Kip. Anna Q. Nill-s-on plays the part of the extravagant wife of Daphne’s brother, and Charles Meredith has the part of Clay Wimburn. -I- -t- -IOIUO. When one hears the name of Mary, they immediately think of a dear, sweet person, a bit contrary, but quite lovable.

magazine story of the same name. The story jp so well suited to the latens of Miss Clark that it is hard to realize that the acting is really upon a,,screen. The story concerns hjary Healy, and n certain Mrs. Jaffrey, a wealthy widow, in search of her daughter who has been missing since a railroad wreck, when her husband was killed. She becomes acquainted with Mary Healy and learns that she is the girl, whom she is seeking. She takes her to her home and here, has a terrible time teaching the little girl tbe proper way to live in luxury. She is finally made “possible” and Mrs. Jaffrey consents to her marriage to a young man who has shown his love for Mary all through the story. Kathlyn Williams Is seen in the role of the beautiful Mrs. Jaffray and her acting Is more charming and pleasing than usual. The picture is a typical Marguerite Clark speciman.

Mary Bickford bas an unusually good part as Mavis Rawn in “Heart of tbe Hills,” which is tbe attraction at Mr. Smith’s the first part of this week.

Her mother, weak-willed and unkindly, marries a brutal neighbor, who schemes to acquire her rich coal lands.
