THINGS TALKED OF IH THE THEATRES Pi Players Are (Jiving a Piny In Holier, Horrlck in Chicago To-night.

Tho heio is a and notoriety seeking school teacher wno writes mr a socialist ncw-paper and barely makes an income sufficient to keep hl family In their cheap rlAt in the slums. The wife In a woman of fine character devoted to the man for ho" Nike she left the home of her wealthy New Kngland uncle. Word rrnches them that the undo Is about to die. and nt the suggestion of her husband the wife starts off for Connecticut to attempt a reconciliation which may bring her some share of his fortune.

The second net pnwetiti the home of the Invalid uncle. He is on tho verge of death. Established In th house in trained nurse. She has in eye on the old man's money and even flirts with the husband of his niece when the school teacher cornea to the country home Irom New York. While taunting her for her disobedience In going away in marry the nchool teacher against his will, her uncle reveals that he did at one lime leave her the fortune, although by a codicil added to hla will, it Is the trained nurso who will Inherit what he has io leave.

It appears that there is Boon to he child born, ho that the wife will not have to exhaust tier maternal feeling hereafter altogether on the unworthy husband. This news ho disturbs the school teacher that he paints a depressing picture of their future. To relieve him Irom the thought of so much overty he tears the codicil from the will. Her husband, unknown to her, watchea the act. Her sick undo enters tho room in time to ee her and the sight brings on the stroke i apoplexy which causes his death.

Tire next net of Mr. Herrlck's play inula the family in affluence on the ahorcs of Lake Como. The fortune haa gone to tli'' wife and tho trained nurse is with them The child hns died. All the ambition of the husband have disappeared in he comfort of hla wealth. He and the rained nurse, now transformed into his secretary, have fallen quite In love with iach other.

It finally occurs to tho wife mat tne woman must leave, in tne scene of explanation with her husband sho (onfe-ws her mutilation of the will. Nothing horrifies her so much as the dieovery that he knew about what she hid done. To realize that this adored rr.iliM was aa guilty an ahe in the fraud is ihf last blow to her affection. So she Cives to the trained nurse the codicil of th" will proving that she la the real heir oi tn miserly uncle, in tne last act an old lover of the wife wants her to quit he worthless huslmnd and marry her le- nurse in possession of tho fortune immediately offers part of it, along with jit neon, 10 tne once laeausuc nusuana. He cannot accept it.

however, as the wife refuses to release him. Thoy will con- ir.ue to live'together and sho will protect him just as sho used to before their changes of fortune; she will protect him her exercise of the maternal instinct.

Nothing more significant In tho develop, ment of the moving pictures than the display of one scries at theatre with prloesonlyftllttlo less than regu ar theatre rates has happened since this now element came Into amusements in this country. Tho attempt waa at this time particularly hazardous. Theatre managers are reducing their prices or selling tickets at a lower rate without advertising tho fact.

Other less bualnenslike methods of disposing tickets are openly discussed In thoitrie.il olrclos. In spite of conditions justify such measures a moving plcliiM enterprise is able to hire at a high font a tlroadway theatre and aak prices almost as high as the most expensive theutres. Tli event of this ment wl 1 be full or eloquence to theatre managers. 'Ih. 1planatio.11 that ths public would weary of he picture shown because it would by them be gradually educated to something higher no longer holds good.

higher has come. "It is difficult now, a New York manager said to Tub Sun, "to Interest any spectators who have see the colored Icture In thoso of the kind that were first cx-hlLlted here. One view of the colored' films makes It almost out of the question to take as much interest In any other kind. Such will of course be the ultimate fate of all moving pictures. All of them will have to be colored.

"This improvement shows that the moving picture promoters ljave so far been able to keep within their own field In order to mtet more exaotlng demands of their public. It was once thought necessary to Introduce vaudeville acts, and that practlo continues. But one has yet to hrar of a moving picture and vaudeville combination at which the price asked is a dollar and a half. That figure was attainable only when the colored pictures were stfown. For til first time they have ome into actual rivalry with the theatres.

Ktibellk Plnys Ilarh's Clint on lie An Orenslonitl Over.siipply of Ap-pliniKc to lie Noted. A Joint concert was given yesterday afternoon by the Bohemian iollnist Jan Kubetik mid Wllhelm Bachaus, the German pianist, at Carnegie Hall, Just why these two artists should choose to give ft concert together was hardly mode obvious when each has a drawing power sufficient to fill tho auditorium where they were heard yesterday.

Perhaps It was that togother thev might present Beethoven's "Kreutzer sonata, with which the programme began. However this may be, the audience was not one of the large ones frequently gathered in the nan. tne noor lieiug not more titan two-thirds tilled. The players' rendering of the Beethoven sonata was in many respects remarkable for finish in performance. Much virtuosity of technic, appropriate sentiment and passion were put into their delivery.

It could easily have been backed by a more closely allied understanding of breadth nud balance or tone. In power nf tone the piano was far too mych In the Hscendutiey, This was oliviously due In irt to the native qualities of the two performers and uguin to the lid of I lie piano being open to its full extent After the sonata Mr. Kuhollk played with exquisite tone and technical skill tho rhaconno or Bach. His later numbers in the list were Surasate's "Itomanste Andalouse," Ilubav's "Zphyr" and the "Carneval Uusse" of Wienlawski. Mr.

Bachaus's group of solos included Schumann's "Aufschwung," the study In major by Buhtnstein and the Schu-bert-Tausslg 'Marche Mllitolre." In general Mr. Kubellli's playing yesterday emphasized the fact that his tone is not so well placed when heard in a space vast in size. He exhibited his usual fonts nf technical inusiciaiishlu, so dazzling in their brilliancy and bravura, while in the expression of sentiment he drew richly upon his elegant resources of lyric feeling. Mr. Baehuus lent to bis Interpretations the quulities of distinction consistent with the best piano playing.

The two artists received warm applause from the audience, both for their ensemble ami solo work, that nt times became very demonstrative. Sometimes it even seenie'd more so than the occasion required PICTURE VALUES. lin I'rlirs for the "Rembrandt" Which Were the I.ste Mr. Leaser's Boast. London, Feb.

U. The remaining pictures of the Lesser collection were sold at Christie's Inst week and produced the sum of (93,030. Leaser's boast used to be, "When 1 die I shall have seven Hem-brandts around me." If he could have been at Christie's on Saturday he would have been sorely dlnppolnted nt the taciturn disdain with which'' theso seven pictures were received. Between them they brought only 70S guineas, of which "The Falconer" was responsible for 300 gulnens. Kxperts will not allow even "Tim Falconer" to" be Itembrnnilt, but confess their Inability to agree upon the pieclse pupil of the master responsible for It.

"He must have been In the kindergarten cloys," said critic. Hut lu a gonil many other cases during the afternoon Mr, l.esser's Judgment wns vindicated. Hubens's "The Bepose of the Holy Family" fetched 1,130 guineas, compared with 500 guineas In luo. A pair of Mnrleschl Venice scenes, sold as by Cnnnletto In 1908 for I2S guineas, rose to 4S0 guineas. Horn-ney's "Ijidy Hamilton ns Nature." which sold fnr 20 guineas In 1910, fetched 440 guineas.

Sir Peter l.ely's "Miss Constance Weston" from ISO guineas In 1910 wont to 210 guineas. How times have changed In the pic-tut world was well Illustrated In this sale. The seven "Uembrandts," which were no Uembrandts but the work of pupils and not good nt that, nevertheless fetched 70S guineas. Nearly twenty-seven years ago Mr. Lesser at the Knighton sale gave only guineas for three Itembrandts, which to-day lire worth a king's ransom.

BIG NEW HOTEL IN CENTRAL TERMINAL To II live 2rt Stories on Site of Post Office nnd the Ilollrond's Offices. AVE. AND UJD ST. Will lit; Open Within Yrnr anil Will Hate, Turkish Until nnd Mirny Novelties. A hotel that will be twenty-tluco smiles high nnd which will possess many novel features, among them stores underground, Is to bo erected on the block between Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets und Madison and Vanderbllt iivonues.

It will take tho place of the present temporary buildings erected some yearn ago and used for a branch post office nnd offices of the Now York Central during work on the new terminal. That It was the Intention of the Vanderbllt Interests further to Improve this property by the erection of hotel as part of tho extensive scheme for cov ering tho I'ulhoad yards with gigantic buildings has been rumored for some time, but the first definite announcement was matlo yesterday. Tho new hotel will not be over the tracks like the other buildings embraced In the suheme, but It will bo opposite the new station nnd will connect directly with It underground. It Is for this reason that underground shops me been planned for It. A coutiact for the operation of the new hotel waa signed Saturday.

Ous-tuv Daumann, for twenty years one of the proprietors of the Holland House, heads tho operating company, nnd John MclC. Ilowmun Is the vice-president nnd treusurer. The architects nro Warren Wetmore, who have designed the other buildings In the terminal scheme. The new hotel wilt occupy a plot 200x 21.1 nnd with Its twenty-three Btorles will be among the largest In tho city. The foundation will extend 60 feet below ground, giving Ave floors below the street, where the stores connected with the station will be.

Tho hotel will easily accommodate 1,200 gtiefts. It will have 1.000 rooms. Mr. Baumanu lifts been lu consultation with the rnllwny officers regarding the type of hotel, it will be constructed a.round nn open course like the old l'ark Avenue Hotel, erected years ago by A. T.

Stewart. Few hotels have followed this plan since, because of the high cost of land. Instead ot being erected around the four sides of such a square, It will occupy only thtee sides, however. One of the features of the new hotel us planned that ure' expected to appeal to the public will be the generous size of the robms. Jlost of them will be 15x20 feet and the smallest not less than 12x18 feet.

Kach room wlU have a bathroom attached. One of the main features of the structure nnd one decidedly 'new as hotels go here Is the location of tho grand ballroom nud banquet hnll on the twenty-third floor. It will have great high windows on three sides In order that In summer It may be converted Into an open air roof garden for diners. Not only will they get any prevailing breeze, but being fur above the roofs of other buildings In the vlclnty they will bnvo an uninterrupted view of the city. The big room will have galleries and boxes for banquets and other public entertainments'.

It will also huve Its own foyer, lounging rooms and bar nnd Its own kitchen. The Incoming train station of the new terminal will be located beneath Vanderbllt nvenue and ut the cast end' of the hotel, It will therefore be possible firt- guests arriving from any part of the country to pass rdlectfy from tho curs to elevators that will carry them to the lobby of the new hotel. This Is expected to prove convenience for tired passengers. The trouble of re-checklng baggage or waiting for It will nlso be obviated, ns the guest's bag or trunk will lie delivered to his room almost as soon us he can himself reach It.

Brann. rector of St. Agnes'a Catholic Church, in East Forty-third street, opened yesterday morning the ser.soq ot Lent in his church with r.n attack on the theatro In New York, saying: "What are wo coming to that some of our theatres produce plays and spectacles that r.re as immoral, rotten, as those presented in the pagan dr.ys of the Oreek stage when. Aristophanes was at the height of lib power and the duys of tho ltoman debauch which provoked Juvenal, in his satire, to reprove a degradation that had become so base that man could divorce his wife If sho happened to have co Id in tho head? "There are Beetles produced in tho tiieat re to-day that our Idea or publio morality would bnhish forever wero tho effort made to produce tnem on a street, for Instance, or a hlghwr.y. Things r.re done on the stage that we would not tolerate on the highway.

Why should managers, actors, actresses and others be allowed to do on a nubllo stngo that which they nro not permitted to do on the highway? In some instances the language is vile, the Intimation most vulgar and the teaching, the mornl idea thrown out, nothing but a suggestion to debauchery and crime. The stage is tilled with importations from flermanv nnd France, in particular, that offend every sense of decency. They are written by the third class writers, who pretend to no form of morality, or acknowledge no religion." DIED. ALl.KN On 1'rbruary 21. at St.
