Man-toll's allusion. "When 'great wood moved to high Dunsl-nane Hill' against Macbeth the murderous usurper, we had as fine an example of military camouflage as has been developed In the course of tho whole war. It was camouflage carefully planned from a military standpoint. We are apt to re AIITISTIO SUCCESS OP THEIR 6ECOXD CONCERT HERE. Mantell Declares Shakespeare Visualized this War.

But here Is the to the previous concert of last Tues day.

The programme was more In order that Prince Malcolm gave his army: teresting in fact, and the playing was as fine as any chamber music Xet every soldier hew him down a bough. which we have had the opportunity the spirit of the ensemble remarkable. The great tone of Mr. Britt's 'cello permeated the whole, but the man Is so complete a performer, and so finished In technique and taste, that never for a moment la he carried away by the desire to excel. He modifies his tone to the needs of the whole at all times, and never obtrudes his personality.

What an admirable quality In a performer and how rare! A quintette for flute and strings by Brants-Buys was played for the first time here. The composer Is a Hollander and Sn organist of note. His quintette, while very beautiful. Is not original. He has been almost too obviously Influenced by Wagner.

There are places, especially, where It becomes evident that he Is an organist, that he has flights of singularly lovely fancies, but always he returns to Wagner, some of the phrases being actually reminiscent of the "Ring." Nothing lovelier In ensemble could be Imagined than the playing of the sustained tones, but the piece Itself was full of dramatic superficialities. The quartette Op. 10. for strings, of Debussy was very fine. It was excellently playe.t and ig one of the best works of the Frenchman, l-busy Is not at his best In the large orchestral forms: even the "Faune" is better as a piano composition than as scored for orchestra.

Debussy was not profound enough for orchestra; he was a. poet of exquisite moods, and the fewer the pieces, the more concentrated his forms Become. The quartette Is not in his most advanced style. It Is scholarly and written with skill as well as a rare taste. We are sorry to see the San Franciscans pp, and hope to welcome them with greater understanding and appreciation next season.

Mantell, the actor, last evening, on his arrival here. "Several of his characters are paralleled in present-day history. When he characterized Macbeth, with his thirst for blood, his overpowering ambition, his lust, he drew a perfect prototype of the Kaiser." Throughout the whole of Shakespeare's works one can find prophecies and allusions that are working out todav, says Mr. Mantell. In "Richard Hi" there is one of the greatest battle prayers ever 'Tit-ton.

When Miss Ferguson is sad or pathetic, she Is exceedingly lovely to look upon, and poignantly appealing. Her genius for facial expression is decidedly distinguished. The camera man has done his work well in "The Lie." Miss Ferguson's supporting company have also risen to the occasion.

All the actors look "English," and, one might add, even mid-Victorian. Betty Howe plays the part of that detestable little mtnx, Lucy, with skill and understanding, and makes her quite as horrid as she really Is. As Gapt.
