The opening of the story shows two critics at a concert, listening to and dii&usMng the composition of a new musician, Eric Fane. Then the scene fades into a recital of the composher’s life, showing the highlights of his career, with a fadeback to the music hall after each episode of the musician’s life. The story is the struggle of Fane to find inspiration for the great music which he feels he is capable of writing. He is first introduced in Italy, where he breaks with his wealthy parents who are anxious for him to take up a commercial life. He goes to Paris, where he becomes infatuated with Princess Rhea, a Russian, whose refusal to share his comparative poverty completely crushes him. He is next seen among the low dives of Port Said, where in a drunken brawl he shoots a man. With the aid of “San Francisco Sal,” the owner of the resort, he escapes on a vessel which he deserts and swims to a tropical island where he finds love and peace and almost tragedy, and It Is In the shadow of the latter that he Is enabled to write his greatest composition, the work which is being played at the concert hall. The program includes the overture, “Poet and Peasant,” by von Suppe, played by the Circle Concert Orchestra under the direction of Bakaleinikoff; the Circle News; a.nd an A1 St. John comedy, "Curses." • * • NOVEL THEME IS HANDLED AT APOLI>O Presenting different phases of affairs of the sort that are encountered by everybody, and dressing them up in a way that provides good entertainment without attempting to
