Dumas fils about a sentimental demimondaine, was revived at International house at the University of Chicago last Friday evening, with repetitions yesterday afternoon and evening. It was staged by the International House Theater league, a new group with the purpose of acting famous specimens of foreign drama, under the direction of Luther Green. The play was presented under its formal title, The Lady of the Camellas." The name of the heroine, Marguerite Gautier, was changed into Camille by popular usage during the Anglo-American vogue of the work several generations ago. Chicago playgoers have seen it acted by many famous stars, including Sarah Bernhardt and Mme. Rejane.

Her new play, "Alien Corn," brings her again into contact with that 'vast public of worshiping males and females who count that season lost In which they are not permitted to sit beneath her IDuse-like spell.

For a season. at least, we have successfully lured one of our first playwrights away from the cinema.

She had planned to produce it as soon as "Lucreee had run its course, but she did not expect to get at it quite as soon. It is a play of the middle west, a psychological drama baring the souls of several unhappy humans associated with a small college faculty out Illinois way.

Chief of these is Elsa Brandt. who has charge of the department of music. Of German descent, the daughter of gifted musicians, Elsa's unrest stems from many causes. Buffeted by Fate. Iles mother, a great prima donna in her day, is dead.

Elsa finds herself in love with 1-larry Conway, the rich young president of the college board, a position he has inherited from his educator father.

voices that sink down below the staff lines so deep that one' begins to doubt one's own faculty of hearing. Sooner or later on every program they sing the Volga boat song, and that is something of an event in itself. Evolution of a Word. The news that Gregor Piatigorsky is tc be the soloist with the Chicago Symphony orchestra this week brings with it the realization that his instrument is both difficult to play and just about as difficult to get printed carnctly. It is the violoncello.

About nineteen times out of twenty it appears in the public prints as violin. cello. Both the word and the instrument have had a somewhat curious history, showing how both word and instrument may develop by manufacture. A few centuries ago the typical Instrument of bow and strings was the viola which got Into English as the viol. After considerable experimenting It began to change its size and the word changed with it.

One of the changes was In the direction of greater volume. The Italians have a convenient rule in their language whereby an increase of size may be indicated by the augmentative "one" tacked on to the original word. So the viola became the violone. which in English had to be called bass viol. Then an Instrument smaller than the violone became desirable.

and once again the Italian language was adequate to describe the new construction. This time it was the diminutive "encl." or In this case cello." again tacked on. and out of violone came violoncello, a viola first made large and then small. It Is a somewhat cumbersome word and this probably is why in familiar English it has been cut down to cello. a word which really means nothing at all, merely a diminutive.

Incidentally. another diminutive vas attached to the serviceable viola with the evolution of a new instrument. It was ino." and thus out of the ancient viola developed the smaller and more effieient violin. But while hunting words through the jungles to their lairs may be an entertaining pursuit. it is rather more to the purpose here to announce that Mr.

Piatigorsky is going to play the Dvorak Concerto. It is a rather notable work of its kind and Mr. Flailgorsky stands in the front row of soloists. For those reasons the combination of cotaposition and artist ought to register as an interesting event. Music Notes.

The scene fades into the dentist's 1 office.

The tooth is drawn. Hugo Is out from under the Influence of the gas and Virginia comes looking for him. She has gone blonde, has Virginia, and become a sharp tongued shrew. Four words with her and is glad to get them out of his office. Amy Is Appreciated.

Then he shouts joyously for Amy. They are going out celebrating. They are going to get something out of this Sunday afternoon. And they're going to look at a new car, too. You bet they are.

Amy's going to have things yet. You bet she Is! Which is all right with Amy, but she can't quite understand why the big silly Insists on picking her up in his arms and waltzing around the office with her. The cast of "One Sunday Afternoon is as little known as the play. BM Is played by a Lloyd Nolan, who has no more than touched the edges of Broadway drama, but has played successfully in stock in Cape Cod and other summer theater centers. With the Pasadena Players in California too.

The audience cheered his BM. The girls are Frances Bruning and Mary Holsman, and they are also better known in the stocks than they are on Broadway. Stages New Operetta. George White has taken a "May. time Milestones" sort of operetta plot and adapted it to meet what he conceives to be a modern demand for lively entertainment.

The result is a piece called Melody that is punc. tuated with effective Sigmund nom' berg songs, beautifully dressed bles and some fairly weak comedy. Mr. White probably would have done better if he had stuck to either one form of musical entertainment or the other. Edward Childs Carpenter wrote the book, which relates the story of Tristan, the poor composer, and Andree, the rich young lady who came to give him her love the night she was forced Into a marriage of convenience with the young Compte de Nemours.

Tristan went to war after that and years after, when Andree's son wasn't nearly so much like Tristan as she had hoped, Andree died. But she left a little granddaughter, who, in the last act, met the American son of Tristan's oldest friend, and this brought a' lot of happiness and quite a few duets into the in I Entire Stock of BUNIIY MOCKS ty la I suNny FROCKS Tin 1: A''' 111 II ELIA) 11.47 "4" 314 Jackson Blvd. Monere, New Style.

In popular appeal Alien Corn will doubtless fall between the tion that was The Barrett and the 1 disappointment that was Luerece." It gives the actress several lir those 4 opportunities of which she takes such complete advantage eloquent poses with her plain but fascinating features white lighted and impressive; dramatic ecenes. In one of which she recounts In detail the story of her life: in which she tries to rehearse a coneert program with the ehallow. talentieso wife of Conway and cannot go through with the pretense of It. Such weakness as the play develops lies In its lack of variety of mood.

Elsa is pretty consistently unhappy. So, too, are her associates, and even great souls grow trying when they persist in nursing their griefs. Father Brandt is determinedly hostile and ungrateful. A third force, a young radical professor in love with Elsa, and with whom she sought release from her unhappiness during a vacation, is also an embittered soul, chafing at his bonds and led finally to suicide as a way out. But this weight of woe will only limit, it will not defeat, the succeits of the play.

Bliss Cornell is steadily gaining force as the first of native actresses'. Her quality is established. her histrionic gifts acclaimed, her right to the position of first lady of the theater unchallenged by any active competitor. Her company Includes the German Siegfried Itumann as the embittered Brandt, a performance that is almost too perfect, for comfort; James Ilenie as the befuddled Conway; Lily Cahill, playing his shallow wife; Luther Adler the unhappy radical, and Charles Waldron as a colorless conservative of the faculty. The play takes title from a quotation from Keats' Ode to a Nightingale Perhaps the selfsame song that found a path through the Sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, she stood In tears amid the alien corn." Tale of a Dentist.

What do you suppose would be your sensations if you were a dentist and all your life had despised the man who had married the girl you wanted to marry if suddenly you were to find this man seated In your chair with a raging toothache and quite at your mercy? There was once a stage story about a surgeon called to operate on the cheating husband of the woman he loved, but I do not recall a duplicate situation of this one in the dentist's chair. It forms the plot foundation of a new comedy called One Sunday Afternoon," written by a chap named James Hagan. It came to town entirely', unheralded last week and caused more critic and audience excitement than any play has done for weeks. It is one of those flash-back come, dies. You start with Biff Grimes, I i I 1 3 1 1 Avoid a Nose Dire.

The Friends of Music. for some little time showing disquieting symptoms of being about to go into a nose dive, would seem at the time this is being written to have regained control before the crash oceurred. Therefore, the project of a Temple of Music on the lake front has not yet been abandoned. One is still permitted to hope that one of the most delectable plans for music in Chicago may by some means become an accomplished fact. One of the chief virtues of the idea la that it is to bP a place for music In the open air.

This far outweighs arguments that there are already three large music halls In Chicago where summer concerts might be given. The fact is that they have not been given in any of these, and probably will not be. Music in the cpen air is a delight in summer; in a Closed theater it may or may not be. and freouently is not. Any project Intended to serve the public is by that token charged with taking the public comfort as well as the public welfare into consideration.

It would setm to be easy to be a defeatist in these times, much easier than to carry a project through to the end. One hears that suddenly the proponents of the North Shore Music festival have decided to abandon every. thing this year, and this after the progiiinis had been prescribed and the chorus in the full current of rehearsal Smaller Communities Hang, On. By the side of this information comes other news to the effect that other May festivals served by the Chicego Symphony orchestra, those of Cornell college in Mount Vernon. and of the University of MichIgan at Ann Arbor, will carry on as usual.

Both these are much smaller communities, but they are going ahead. They undoubtedly have as much reason to fear economic conditions as Chicago and Evanston, but they have not become afraid to the extent that they were willing to destroy the things of beauty fostered during a course of years. It must not be forgotten that a cancellation, even with the intention Of making it only for one year, brings its dangers of becoming permanent. Starting from scratch again has its own dangers. With good news and bad news min.

This department has been definitely assured that there will be music in Chicago, plenty of music and good music, during the Century of Progress Exposition.
