Lealrire Joy, RIDOKW'OOD Marion Ialei, to be generously dowered by Nature tones have all a musical quality, from also have power, to the top, where they are less robust and more care fully issued. Of every refinement in the production of this voice. Miss Farrar is complete mistress.

Her diction is clarity itself, and she is a solicitous and Intelligent interpreter of mood. She was most successful yesterday with the song. "Ira Tretbhaus." Nor could one. in truth, complain of her management of "Traeume." The singing of "Schmeraen" was less successful. Earlier In the afternoon she had adventured Intrepidly with Elsa's Dream.

But we seem to find in the new Geraldtne a mezzo rather than a soprano. We should like (odd as it may seem) to have heard her do the Waltraute scene from "Goetterdaem-merung." or some of Venus' music from Tannhaeuser" or, better still, had 'this not been a Wagner program, something from "Carmen." though in the end it makes very little difference what she sings: We are certain that the audience yesterday did not applaud the finely planned and executed vocal performance which it enjoyed but a personality pre-eminent in the history of music in America. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Busch, contributed some rather terrible playing of excerpts from "Lohengrin." "Tristan und Isolde." "Tannhaeuser" and "Die Goetterdam-merung" playing not only rough and tactless and misconceived, but in one instance, at least, erroneous, misled by a palpable error in the musical text before it. In the evening the Philharmonic Orchestra gave a program embracing novelties by Zoltan Kodaly, an important Hungarian composer, and th Dutchman, G.

H. G. von Bracken Fock, as well as Ravel's "La Valse" Like Upton Sinclair, Valentine Wlllliams, the English detective story writer, has come to recognize in starvatfbn the cure for many ills. He has Just concluded a 14-dav last, ne writes to his publishers, at the Nature cure Home at unampneys, mug. hear London.

He underwent the cure to get rid of a bad attack of neuritis following a wrenched shoulder which he sustained when playing tennis. He achieved his object and dropped in the process 16 pounds, some of which, he says, are still missing. Mr. Williams is now putting the finishing touches to a new novel. Alfred Kreymborgf will give a troubadour recital of his own poems with music at the New School for Social Research, 465 W.

23d on Wednesday evening, Dec. 21. The far-famed "Outline of History." by H. G. Wells, has now been made available in one volume which contains the entire text of the previous two-volume revised edition, with more than 700 illustrations.

Many readers will recall Art Young as the artist who makes trees into such strange and realistic creatures. Now he has collected these pictures In one volume. "Trees At Night," It Is called (Bonl is Liveright), and It places Art Young in a class by himself. Using pen and ink as his medium he has found in the most ordinary trees (as they appear to him) sights which we as simple-minded observers have failed to notice. He has found animals in trees.

He has discovered fantasy, cathedrals, even camels. The devil's orchestra and the passing out of summer, "Miss Hawthorne," entertaining a group of scrub oaks and sycamores, the Patriarch and the Orator, all are splendid pictures. Young enjoys trees. In his diary he writes: "While looking out of my window toward the wooded hills one summer night, a caravan of camels seemed to be humping along the sky. They were trees, of course, but enough like camels to key my imagination up to discover other pictures in the formation of foliage.

The rest of the summer nights I enjoyed hunting for tree pictures against the light of the sky or thrown into relief by the glare of automobiles, and drawing them next day." There are In "Trees At Night" thirty-nine drawings. And Art Young had played his pen upon them and made pictures of extraordinary beauty. JO RANSON. "The Girl From Chicago" Next Week' Film at Roxy The screen of the Roxy Theater will be given over tomorrow to what firomises to be one of the most thrill-ng underworld dramas seen on local screens in many months. It is Warner Brothers' newest prodiMion railed "The Girl From Chicago." pic-turized from Arthur Somcrs Roche's detenlve story which was published under the title of "Business Is It is typical of that writer's flair for mystery melodrama and In its transcription has taken advantage of the wide scop of the screen to depict a vlv'd and absorbing picture of underworld life.

Another of Brooklyn's numberless choral societies gave a concert yesterday evening at the Academy of Music: The Morning Choral, an organization of women's voices directed by Herbert Sammond. With a background of palms, these ladies in '-ri-cusly hued gowns provided a co lul and picturesque group. The program was begun by the club singing "John Peel," a "Morning Hymn" and an "Ave Maria" arranged from the Adagio of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata." Then the first soloist of the evening, William Hain, tenor, made his appearance in a short group of songs, displaying richly resonant voice and interpretative abilities not without poetic eloquence. The choral again came to the fore with several Old English folk songs which received an agreeably quaint performance. The following group of soli introduced Miss Hannah Klein, a talented young pianist.

With satisfactory technique and a nice singing tone, she gave creditable readings of familiar selections. At the end of the Intermission Marion Devoy, soprano, a member of the club, sang a group of songs. The remainder of the program offered a reappearance of Mr. Hain between two more groups of songs by the choral. Throughout the evening accompaniments were played bv Miss Florence Blundell.

E. S. United Artists' President Off to Discuss 1928 Plans Joseph M. Schenck. president of United Artists, left New York yesterday for Hollywood.
