8PLEHDID PROGRAM AT THE SECOBD SUNDAYCOHCERT Symphony Orchestra Presents Talent That Delights Readr ing Music Lovers Once again the Reading Symphony Orchestra has resumed the Sunday concert series, and the audience that welcomed the city's best talent was larger than at the opening: concert, either last season or the year before. In addition to enjoyins a well selected program of favorite concert numbers, and the splendid playing of the orchestra, the throng of music lovers could not get enough of iss May Muklethe cello soloist of the afternoon, who charmed her hearers because of the rare tone and exquisite shading of her performance. The Beading Symphony is an organization that stands today as a rare asset to the community, and its splendidly rendered program yester day afternoon should be invaluable press agenting for the second concert announced for Sunday, Dec. 28, when the committee In charge of these artistic events feels assured that seats are to be at a premium on that occasion. Harry E.

Pahrbach, undoubtedly the foremost musician, and whose personal efforts have been in a great measure responsible for the success of the Symphony conducted, and the Overture, Symphony and Nell Gwyn iDances showed remarkable sympathy between the instruments. The musicians who form the Symphony Orchestra individually deserve great credit for the splendid interpretation of Sunday afternoon's interesting program. The applause at the conclusion of each movement fully demonstrated the appreciation of the large audience. Shcbert's Overture, "Rosamunde Op 26," with its melodious theme and dashig code, brkigs the overr ture to a splendid finale. This was the opening number on the program and finely interpreted.

May Muckle, the English violoncellist, played "Saint Saens" with orchestra accompaniment, and the soloist was so thoroughly enjoyed that she returned several times to acknowledge the ovation. "Mendelssohn's Symphony 3 Scotch in A Minor Op 56" attracted unusual interest. The four movements follow "Introduction and Allegro Agitaio," "Scherzo Assai Vivace," "Adagio Cantabile," and Allegro Gueriero and Finale Maestoso." The musicians played brilliantly under Conductor Fahrbach's baton, and the audience approved with real applause. Miss Muckle's sole feature Included a group of three numbers, Schubert's "Litany," MacDowell Muckle's "Nautilus" and "The Elfin Dance," by Popper. Everyone of these numbers signified the genius of the performer.

The Elfin dance was applauded so sincerely and continuously that Miss Muckle was recalled and played a delightful encore selection. Russell F. Heilig, one of Reading's foremost pianists, accompanied Miss Muckle, and it was masterly work that revealed the rare charm of the soloist. The Nell Gwyn Dances by German, In three movements, concluded the Symphony program. There should be little effort required to soel the house out completely at the following events, after hearing yesterday's splendid concert.

They act on the speaking stage as well as before a camera, and sing, dance and do comedy stunts that, make an immediate hit with every gathering where they appear. Every picture fan knows them, and the.r brief engagement in vaudeville and their short stay in Reading is the signal for packed houses wherever they appear. Everyone who has seen lhvm on the screen will want to see and hear them in person. "Tell it to the Marines," "Smiles," "Swat the Fly," 'Doing Their Bit," "America's Buds," "Troublemakers," "The Two Imps" and many other p'ctures, most of them already shown in Reading, are some of the films that have hqilped to make the little Lees famous all over the country.

The Aerial Lloyds. Reading athletes in a fifine cast ng act with many new features, is on the same Keith program. These men are favorites in Reading and have scored just as great a success in theatres all over the country. "Oh.

A new type of talking machine one that needs no records, no needles, no motor or other fixtures of the reg u'ation music box is Arthur White law. Whitelaw is a natural com ed'an. and one of the most amusing talkers ever booked for a Reading stage "Recollections," a scenic musical skit by a capable company, with some new and catchy singing and instrumental selections, a special stage set and an abundance of comedy, is another of the Keith attractions on the bill. Chapter 6 of the Craig Kennedy detective story. "The Carter Case," is the picture offering for the first half of the week.

With Herbert Raw linsdn and Margaret Marsh, film fa vorites in Reading, in the principal roles, this story of romance, intrigue and fortune is proving most fascinat ing. The picture feature for4he second half of the week is. the lBth and crowning instalment. "Out of the Shadows" of "The Great Gamble," Anne Luther's and Charles Hutchin son's powerful romance of twin sis ters matched against each other in a duel between honor and crime, tfith a great Inheritance as the stake.

i 1 11 no READING, MQNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1919 Serfs LETTY ARRIVES ATTHE RAJAH A Pleasing Production, But a Few Changes Will Im prove it Beginning Today probably due for a good season, after i essential changes for real success are made. Just as the play stands at present, Letty hasn't arrived, but she has a very splendid start. Sydney Rosenfleld was the first editor of Puck, the New York humorous weeklv. and In his time he has written many successes, both for the dramatic and musical comedy stage. In "Letty Arrvies" he has provided some delightful entertainment.

With a fe wmore dnamatic situations and less 1 chatter in the first two acts "Letty Arrives" will score. The only change that was made Saturday was the omission of the song "Love's Lullaby," at the evening performance. However, the play will lie idle for the next two weeks, severa of the parts rewritten, and then "Letty Arrives" is scheduled to open in the larger cities. Its principal feature, as Reading audiences witnessed it, was the cast of pr'ncipals, headed by Clarfl, Joel, Robert Ober, Louis Kimball, Albert Gran, Mona Gruns and dear Ida Waterman, one of the splendid character artistes of the old school. The success of the performance ges to Its cast, each one of whom assisted individually in "Letty Arrives.1' Clar.

Joel, as "Letty," was the temperamental sweetheart, anxious to win a and Miss Joel played her role with infinite cnarm. Mona Gruns was "Madeline," a very charming little miss, in love with Jeffrey Watterous, played by Robert Ober. Jeffrey lost Madeline by his love mak'ng, but he regain ed her by the cave man system. Both these players handled thoir parts wit hreai dramatic artistry Ida Waterman was "Mrs. Letty's mother, and her performance was characterized with that accustomed touch of nristorracy that hns stamped her one of the stage and screen's leading, character women in society portrayals.

Louis Kimball, ns the "Intruder," the second story man, with the other half of the com, offered a touch of originality to his characterization which won his audience from, the start. Albert Gran gave his usual performance in tho part of Howard Moore, the family attorney. The gowns worn by Miss Joel, Mrs. Waterman and Mona Bruns attracted more than usual Interest. A Suggestion When Letty discovers the half of the coin hidden In the box of love letters, everyone Imagines that some one else, and In all probability, her 1.

1 luiuru pwccmriiri, naa uwir half of tho coin. The audience almost guesses the balance of the plot. The curtain In the second act falls as Letty finds the other half of the coin, left in the room by the Intruder, and she guesses his identity. But the punch la not there, for there has been no surprise for the audience. A suggestion would bo to have Letty find the broken coin left by the Intruder and then rush for the box of love letters and discover the other half In her possession The surprise would be real to the audience, and the curtain would be far more effective at the end of the second act.

"Letty Arrives" la better material for a success than "Nunkle," seen earlier In the week Who's Who In the Cast Ida Waterman supported Fay Davis in "The Whitewashing of Julia, 1 'at this theatre. April 19, 1004,. and oppeared in "Sham" with Henrivtta Crossman, December 27, W. vl ARCADIA Aurora Mardiganian, a beautiful Armenian refugee, appears at the Arcadia this week, beginning Monday afternoon, in a most astonishing and amazing story, based on actual facts, and pbrtrayal on the screen. The epic of 'lifecaJled "The Auction of Souls," has been pronounced one of the most powerful human dramas.

It presents the vivid life and true story of, the sole survivor of many Armenian girls. Aurora Mardiganian is an Armenian beauty who escaped to America after two years of unspeakable adventures in the hands of the Kurdish rulers, slave markets and Turkish harems. Aurora's true story has been filmed "for the purpose of showing America what unbridled license leads to. In producing the wonderful adventures and incidents, the scenes have been taken from facts, not fiction. Adapted from the book, "Ravished Armenia," is is Miss Mar diganian's own story, substantiated by facts from the official reports of Viscount Bryce, British investigator; Henry "Morgenthau, American Ambassador, and the American board of foreign missions.

The picture has been released for the first time to the American public at popular prices and it is presented for the direct purpose of 'awakening America to the great terror known only by the girls and women of Armenia. The pictures show vividly Just what occur, in Armenia the herding of the women and girls in the streets of public squares, the pitiless massacres of the men and the boys, the ceremonies of apostasy by which the lust of the Turkish kaimakams was permitted to fasten itself upon the daughters of refined and delicate mothers; a nation deported with the unspeakable sufferings of the women and the girls at the hands of Hhe Kurds and Zaptlehs, the slaughter traps set in the Devil's Gorge, and the mountain passes, where women were compelled to leap from the top of cliffs into waiting bayonets below and where innocent children were tied In groups and marched to death In the waters of rivers, of biblical fame, the profanation of the ancient convents and monasteries by the bandit of Mohammed, the tragedy which befell the nation's girlhood, the slave markets newly peopled by the flower of Armenia's maidenhood, and the pitiful plight of the little band of return s. lost In the trackless wastes of the Syrian deserts, gaunt and wan, "altlng by day and praying by night for the coming of the hand of deliverance. With a courage past belief, Aurora enters the picture as the heroine of her own life's story. For the sake of the love she bears her people, this young girl lives over again all the horrors of those years of deportation nnd hunger and the misery worse than death.

This girl, the same Aurora Mardiganian who was held captive in the harems of wealthy Turks, who dragged to the tents of wild Kurdish chiefs, carried off into captivity, slung on the saddle of an Arab raider, purchased by a slave dealer ad sold on the auction block to the highest bidder. Mardiganian is an Armenian girl not yet arrived at the age of womanhood, who was the daughter of a prosperous Armenian living In a fertile valley not far from Mt. Ararat at the time the Turks decided to steal the lands and property of the Armenians by vsinS the pre Important Week of Ptramount Ai'tcrntt Selective Booking Attractions TODAY AND TUESDAY.

Miss Mardiganian, a very pretty girl, had been eyed for some time by a Turk who wished to marry her. This man offered protection to her family if her father would turn her over to him. The father refused, and wa killed before the eyes of his daughter.

Her brothers and sisters also were killed, and Miss Mardiganian was driven from the city with thousands of wretched, terrified refugees who were forced into the desert unprepared for the long torturous trip which followed. One, of the pictured event, shows a meeting between the sultan of Turkey. a weak old man. Enver Pasha, who later became the cruel military dictator; the German anr bassador and Henry Morgenthau, the American ambassador. At this meeting Mr, Morgenthau made a last vain plea for the Armenians.
