Conductor Fritz Ilelner has planned a program purey orchestral. Two nov-eltles.

played for the first time at these concerts, will be offered. The first of these Is a symphonic poem, STUDIES VILLAIN ROLES. Because In his itsge career of some twelve or. fifteen years he haa played numerous villain roles Eqd Agin, who this week ha the role of Major Maurewarde tn the Tlnero play "His House In Order" at the Cox theater, has spent a great deal of time searching for Information about tho nature of stage villainy. 'To me" aaya Mr.

Agin, "the atudy of the development of the villain In drama has been exceedingly Interesting. Though I have no particular penchant for such roles a study of the evolution of this character nevertheless la quite fascinating. "It la only recently that students of the drama, have discovered that the villain has had, a double development and that during the latter part of the Middle Ages and Elizabethan period, he actually became a hero. "This strange condition wa brought ahout through the popularity of the Latin trngedle of 8eneca. Thli author made crime e'o fascinating and Ills villains so monstrous that they overshadowed all the other characters and became what la known as hero-villains and commanded admiration by the awfulness of their power.

t'vnr imiir time audlencea on the continent reveled in these characters, then Shakespeare himself began to appropriate them for hla early plays, the chronicles. But as he developed as a playwright, he began to reallie that protagonists of such evil proportion! were unreal and that they compelled a distortion of plot, situation and dialogue. Thua In developing tha character of hl moat colossal vlllaln-hero, 'Richard he unconsciously began to humanize the character and to ea-tabllsh practical motive! for his actions. He went itlll further In developing Shylock, and thus the character Is paradoxical, partly fiendish In tha old-hero villain scenes, and partly human, a lovlhg father and a sincere religionist. This fact Is almost forgotten In the midst of the eontro-venlal estimates that are made of the character of Shylock.

"Though my part of Major Maure warde In 'His Housa In Order' Is of a rather passive nature and la. a long distance from Shylock I nevertheless find In It a new contribution to villainy. Unlike the usual character of his type Major Maurewarde la brave, warm-hearted and in most respects endowed with the highest of principles. Urbane and polished he Is nevertheless strategic and scheming." Born and educated In Cincinnati, Boyd Agin early In life decided on a dramatic career. Two seasons ago he became associated with Stuart Walker In the Shubert production of "Main Street" In Indianapolis and the result was that later in the season ha accented a part with the Stuart w.tk.e romoBiiv and liai been with tha brganliatlon ever line.

Mr. Stoessel deserves endless credit for his work with very unsatisfactory and uninspiring, not to say uninspired, material. It seems to be the tradition, In oratorio societies In general that anyoncs who cannot get a Job anywhere else may alng oratorio.

Perhapa that Is why this once Impurtant form of musical composition rapidly Is falling Into dli-favor. In spite of this, Mr. Stoessel gave a performance In which rhythm, tempo, dynamics and Indeed all of th, whlrh put ln rom hmA tha outside, had been put ln. An excellent baritone, In fact, one of the best of the newcomer! of the season, was Louis Chartler, who was Aeolian Hall wltp a woman pianist as assisting artist, who added little or nothing to the occasion.

Ilusplghl, however, has evidently let out to de- Iincate the supernatural, and thla he certainly achieved. On the same program waa Mottl's ii rangement of three dancei from ret iy-g "Cephale et Procrls." It Is doubtful, however. If the modern and somewhat heavy scoring of these lace-like plecea quite glvea the Impressions intended by the cotn- vonrr i.uuioei. era i a "L'Aprcs-Mldi un Faune." which was better played by a local thoven'i "Erolca." the latter seeming a trifle heavy pabulum for a warm April afternoon. Stokowaki led hla Phlladolphlani from Dan to Beersheba at his flnal concert.

"Dan" being In thla case Mozart's "jjupiter" Symphony, and "Beersheba" Arnold Schoenberg's "Knm-mcrslnfonle." Mr. Stokowskl gave tho first American performance of the Schoenberg work when he was conductor of the Friend of Music in 1915, and gave It aa originally scored that la, for 15 instruments, ln which form It was really a chamber symphony. Hut now, arranged for larger orchestra, It la even more nmorphous and the eight years elnco Its first hearing have not served to make It seem any less dissonant. The themes ore Interesting, and If one wcro able to follow them through tha mazes of cacophony they might be quite beautiful, but tho listener Is pursued by the feeling that the composer Is deliberately down with minor seconds and discord that which might noimally woo the ear. In the Schoenberg lex-Icon of harmony, however, there la no such word as discord.

Anything In the diatonic and chromatic scnlo may he used Indiscriminately. Ono pictures the composer sighing for new tonalities to conquer, where quarter tones are as nnught, and Mr. Sulzedo's 57 varieties of tone-color of the harp are merely the primary colors of sound. At the Metropolitan the oniy event In the shape of a novelty waa the first appearance as Isolde on nny i stage of Barbara Kemp. Even mak ing allowances for the fact that the stage of the Metropolitan Is a fear- some place to "do" Isolde for the flrst time (Nordlca, If memory serves, being the only other soprano who ever tried It, and perhirps 1,111 Lehmann).

It cannot be said that Kemp's delineation of the Irish Princess measure! up either to her Mona Lisa or her Kundry. There has been some dissatisfaction expressed concerning Margaret Matzcnauer In the role, and It was supposed that Mme.
