They contributed some real humor to the evening: with tenuous accompaniments plucked by certain members, with costumes to befit the songs they sang, they performed excellently sortie decidedly funny text to the right sort ot music, and da! it well. The audience, when it was all seated, filled the seats In Kilbourn Hall and was as cordial as it was lowing Jagel's New York debut last fall. "He made even the railbirds fall for htm and when that happens an American may be said to have passed the te.t of tests. As a fact Jagel merits anyonrs applause and a few plain to tot."

The Sinfonia played first I Beethoven's "Egmont" overture, then Jarnefeldt's Preludium coupled with a piece In which some liberties are taken with Grieg's music by George L.

Her first appearance on the stage, professionally, was in that Maeterlinck fantasy, "The Blue Bird," and the next was In "Rebecca of Sunny-brook Farm." Then came Edward Sheldon's "Romance" and a series of ingenue roles, one of which.

in "Two Fellows and a Girl," brought Miss Foster's work to the attention of Richard Herndon, who was then casting for Barry Connor's wisecracking comedy called "Applesauce." Miss Foster's appearance in this established her Broadway identity and her next role was in "The Patsy," which ran for a year. Her biggest success, perhaps, was in Lulu Volmer's latest dramatic play of the South, "Trigger," In which Miss Foster had the leading role. It was entirely different from anything she had played, and her characterization of the uncouth, vital creature of the Southern backwoods brought her even higher Mrs. Elbert Horton, of Albany, treasurer.

He has his men ready to use voices as instruments as well as media for words, and the variety of effect Is much greater than It was even a year ago. The Club opened with music of Bach and 'Praetorius. The Bach chorale was sung with straightaway, honest tone, and a clear enuntiation of text; a step further and there will come more grace and suavity with no loss of the very good qualities heard last night in the Bach; the Praetorius "Lo How a Rose" was carefully and tastefully done.

Mr. Fitch's own "General Booth Eneters Heaven" had more dramatic suggestion and a better tone handling than a year ago; it is a favorite number with hearers. The later Glee Club numbers lighter in sort and including U. of ii. songs were well done.

Law Welner was a tenor soloist In the front section of the program, singing Hageman's "Do Not Go, My Love," and a sentimental tuneful song, "In the Luxembourg Gardens," adding an extra number at the audience's demand. He has a good legato and tone that is pleasant, always and at times decidedly Ingratiating, and he sings without exaggeration. When Intermission came accord be the other items on the program.

W. Griffith's "Drums of Love" With Mary Philbin Rochester Theatre Starling Sunday jlilLs. "Wife Savers," in which Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are seen on the new Victoria Theater screen bill, is regarded as one of the tinniest film comedies in which these comedians have appeared. Beery plays a biscuit-maker for the section of the American army that is located on the Franco-Swiss frontier at the time the World war ends. The fellow soon finds himself an unwilling bridegroom, and then a candidate for a cemetery lot as an Alpine guide.

He finishes as a widower. Hatton appears as a hard-boiled lieutenant and later becomes a duelist. The action all centers in a little village in the Alps, han-sie the Beery and Hatton char- Mart1 make love, climb mountains rlc fight their battles. When the armistice is signed the Beery chap blows up the kttchen where he has been converting tons of dough into biscuits, and is ready to start home. The lieutenant however, details him to remain In the and guard his girl from Gen-, feral Lavoris, a hard-boiled war hero.

Then the bilker's difficulties begin. He is given a job as an Alpine guide, a Job that has already cost thirteen other men their lives. Next he is forced into a marriage with the girl, and tops all of that misfortune with some nerve-racking adventures while climbing mountains. The duel scene In which the baker and the lieutenant fight a spectacular but bloodless battle on the latter's return to the village to reclaim his girl, is one of the most amusing scenes.

M. Barri'e's de New York, April 20 (Special Dispatch) Probable savings in time and money following the worldwide adoption of a thirteen-month perpetual calendar, was the topic of discussion at the two-day conference of the American Management Association which opened at the Hotel Pennsylvania.
