"Ths Court of Miracles," in his story, "Ths Hunchback Notrs Dams," and thus hs provided the material for a number of startling scenes in ths pic-turlstod production made by tha Universal which is now being shown at ths 6hubert-Crescent Theatre.

Living conditions of the poor In the Furls of that period were little betc-r than primitive, forced mainly by the fact that poverty reached its nadir in ths depths to which the avarice of king and those in power thrust ths common people. The open sewer in all Its hideousness added its horror to the streets. And like sets that abidt in fetid places with greater abundance so did the distressingly poor seek such lowly retugs fur habitation. And "Tho Court of Miracles" wus surely a refuge, albeit the denlsens were law breakers and evaders. It rccsived its name through the miraculous translation of those who professed lnflrmatles in pursuing their calling of beggars, for here tho blind saw, the lame walked and all afflicted with gulling nnd horrific sores were cleahsed ence they entered its confines.

It was an open and spacious area w-here those w-ho gathered grouped around open fires over which were hung grimy pots that contained the brews of whatever could be gathered, begged or stolen in the guise of food. And here- unrestraint reigned in an uproar of bustle and crying of children, coarse Jests nnd coarser osths, all a veritable bedlam. Here ruled Clopln, the king of beggars and thieves, who ntinlstrated and applied his Justice with coarse and vulgar hand. They accepted methods of Justice according to the even more cruel efficiency. They had their own pillory, gibbet and tools of tcrture.

nnd not alone the offender cgulnst the self-made laws ot their begvnrs' nnd thieves' guild received punishment, but the intruder likewise had meted out to him the penalties provided by their rules. Thus was Oringoire. the peed, apprehended for trespass and was doomed to death from which he was saved by Earner-aida, the ward of Clopln, nn Innocent habitant of the Iniquitous resort. Toe fact that so good a girl could live In the midst of such horrors untainted by them is alone a dramatic contrast)' Incident, but Is well txfilnlncd MB. PAUL WHITEMAN'8 experiment with modern popular tniudo (at Aeolian Hall on Lincoln's Birthday afternoon) has opened pew and Important chapter In ths history of the development of an original school of American music.

Of and by Itself, refined Jazz cannot be considered other than a cornerstone ot this school, but It Is a cornerstone has lone been awaited, and which, ones laid, promises to speed up the progress of native composition. Jan, with Its "pep" and "ginger," tha Inexhaustible vitality of Us enthusiastic rhythms, Is essentially American In spirit. Pesplte, as yet, an absence of genuine thematic and melodic utterance, also of a distinctively fine harmonlo vocabulary, this nets ''modern music" of ths Palais Royal, possesses characteristic elements that seem destined to enter Into the serious "classical" music of. this future. Its scoring7 opens up new phases of Instrumental tone coloring hitherto undreamed of In tho philosophy of small orchestra arranging.

A band of not more than twenty players can produce a tons sonorousness hot far removed from that of a full symphony, while the colors of the Jazz palotte, with the. aid of saxophone, xylophone, the steel -guitar, marimba-phone, oetavlan, baerkelphone, cathedral chimes, euphonium, Fluegal horn, and tha hundred and one devices ot muting, are more vivid than those of the Oainbow. At this stage of Itsi life. Jazz Is the Ideal form of accompaniment for dancing. In fact It Is ths perfect complement of modern dance, the reason, for Ha monotony in the concert hall when beard In two-hour stretch.

i There la not, In Its measures, sufficient variety to relieve the Incessant push of an Intense dance rhythm urge, a a The Symphony That Has Won the Heart of Humanity When, In the past few seasons, audiences of ths summer concerts at the Lewlsohn Stadium have been Invited to vote for ths numbers to be played as a concluding "request" programme, Tschalkowsky's "Patheilque'' has always been returned winner In the symphony division. Thousands upon thousands of ballots ars cast, and tho expression of choice, therefore, is that representative of a good-sized electorate of music lovers. The "Pathetlque" Symphony, accordingly, mlKht bs called the "People's" Symphony, not alone because of Its overwhelming popularity at the Stadium polls, but by reason that to-day It Is played more frequently (In different countries) than any other symphony. The "Pathetlque" may generally be depended upon to attract the crowd, including thoss unmusical as well as What manner of music may this be that so attracts hearers, not once but many times, and never without tire? What Is there In Its measures that makes a deeper appeal than the symphonies of Beethoven, of Mozart, Schubert er Brahms, as well as Tschalkowsky's own Fourth and Fifth, two predecessors that stand high in the hearts ot the music populace? Originally labelled "Suicide" Symphony, because of the circumstances surrounding Tschalkowsky's death shortly after Its completion, the "Pathetlque" has frequently been subjected to much banal criticism. Though unquestionably an intensely personal document, Its meanings should not -be narrowed down to the revelations of the sensitive experiences of a single personality.

Not a message, but a beautiful sorrow la this lament, shared as profoundly by listeners as by the composer. a a a Of contemporary critics, Lawrence Oilman, whose reactions to what's what ars those of a true Interpreter, has always written most understanding about the significance of this music. From his numerous roferonces to ths work, the folowlng Is culled, with acknowledgment to a recent annotated Philharmonic programme: "Tschutkowsky," writes Mr. Oilman, "dreaded with passionate protest what Sir Thomas rtrowne called 'tho lnhgulty of He feared the thought of death with a shuddering and poignant terror; and into his most personal and characteristic utterance, the pathetic' Pymphony (though not only there), he emptied all the dark troubles of his heart-all that ho knew of anguished apprehension and foreboding, of grief thut Is unaasuagable, of consternation and despair. Tschalkowsky never divulged tho meunlng of this, singularly affecting music, but Its purport Is unmistakable.

burden Is the Infinite sadness of human destiny and the crushing finality of denth; and the hopelessness of the music Is as manifest as it Is' unrelieved." a a a "Aida" to Close Brooklyn's Grand Opera Season The Metropolitan Opera Company's very successful 19ltS-'24 season of ten performances in Brooklyn will be brought to close on Tuesday evening, Fob. 26, at the Academy of Music, with a presentation of Verdi's "Aida."

"The Marriage Circle" Is I.Uc bltsoh's second Amerlcan-miide plo-hire, and Is said to be a departure from anything this noted dlreotor has svsr attempted.

"It's all very well," Miss Roye was telling an In-I tervlewer, "to speak about the pres-; tigo of 'production' work, but I'm much more interested in calling my soul my own. That's one of the things I love about vaudeville. Your act belongs to you.

You alng your songs the way you think they ought I lo bo sung, Instead of the way tho director, plus the scenic artist, plus i the costume designer, plus tho pro- ducer.wants you to sing them. You don't nave to dovetull your actions Into the actions of Ihlrty' or forty other performers, and your time Is jour own." Another reason why Miss Hove prefors to remain in Keith vaudeville, where she won her first recot-nltlon. Is that her tastes lean toward simple living. "I llko to go home afjer tho performance." she said, "a'nd rest. I neeij nifle' or ten hours sleep, anil I like to get in several nours oi w-fore midnight.
