Tin: nuooKLYX daily eagle, new yokk. Wednesday, matjcii News and Comment of the Theater, Photoplay and Music Worlds 14 A "Her Unborn Child" AMTSEMENTS MANHATTAN. The Theaters Music of the Day ARTHUR POLLOCK By EDWARD Jane Cowl's Plans Jane Cowl has decided not to play "The Road to Rome" in London. She has just signed a new contract with Brady and Wiman, and will be provided by the firm next season with a new play by Robert Emmet Sherwood, author of her present vehicle. Miss Cowl is now in Philadelphia and, to break the monotony, is preparing to present Stephen Phillips" "Paola and Francesca," at special matinees, starting April 9.

Philip WMard Mack Stars in "The Scarlet Fox." a Play by Himself, Presented at the Theater Masque. mHE romantic Willard Maclc is back again in the bright unuoiin of his I beloved Royal Canadian Mounted Police, striding with that charac- ristic stride of his that is something between a strut and a stagger about the stage of the Theater Masque. He has written a new play loi Fire Conductors Appear With the Philharmonic; the English Singers in Brooklyn. THE musical department of the American Academy in Rome and the National Music League of America profited through a gala concert given last evening in Carnegie Hall by the Philharmonic Orchestra. An honorary committee, comprising Their Excellencies the Ambassadors of Great Britain, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium and Germany, and the Governor of this Sate and the Mayor of this city, lent the dignity of their titles to the program, and the colors of the United States and other Powers were a festive touch to the decoration of the parterre boxes.

A large audience was present, prompted, we surmise, in its purchase of tickets by curiosity and the desire to benefit worthy causes rather than by the promise of a memorable musical treat. The program was not in itself unusual. Representing the music of six nations, it contained only a single unfamiliar work the "Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan," by Charles Tomlinson Griffes. Otherwise it relied upon such stand- himself, which he calls "The Scarlet red-coated sergeant of the Mounted Mr. Mack is a promising playwright, always has been, and an actor of whom something may some day be expected if he gets the right part.

What he needs is the leading role in a play like "The Scarlet Fox," written by a dramatist who can write that kind of play in a manner shrewd and deft enough to fulfill all the dreams Willard Mack himself can only dream. This actor-dramatist has for a good many years been capable of putting together i 11 ard Items from the symphonic reper tory as the "Meistersinger" Prelude, the "Prelude a 1'apres-midi d'un faune," an intermezzo from "Goyes-cas" and an excerpt from De Falla's "El Amor Brujo," and Respighi's "Pines of Rome." But If this arrangement lacked novelty, the circumstances of its presentation at least did not. For it was conducted, not by one but by five distinguished musicians representing the various nations contributing to the program. By the courtesy of the Metropolitan Opera Company, Artur Bodanzky led the performance of the Wagnerian excerpt with which the evening commenced. He was succeeded by Eugene Goossens, a delegate from Britain, who devoted himself to the reading of Delius' "Brigg Fair." Mr.

Dam-rosch, making his first appearance as guest-conductor of the Philharmonic, directed the Griffes tone-poem and also Debussy's musical eclogue. Spanish music the Granados, the De Falla and an orchestral transcription of Albeniz's "Triana" was conducted by Enrique Fernandez Arbos, the distinguished Iberian at present a guest of the Symphony Society, and the concert came to its end with the appearance of Mr. Toscanigj and the playing of the "Pines of Rome." As each of these gentlemen in turn took up the baton and released the music of the orchestra he provided the listener with a vignette of his personality and talent. Mr. Bodan-zky's cerebral profile and his superficial grasp of Wagner stood out in equally high relief; Mr.

Goossens, effete and high-strung, was the essence of himself. Mr. Damrosch smiled benignly and produced inefficient versions of Griffes and Debussy, and Mr. Arbos, looking the scholar, marked rhythms with a master's hand but failed to maintain an orderly class. Lastly, Mr.

Toscanini, alert, commanding, remote from all but music, stepped upon the stage and gave the audience a glimpse of genius. Yes. it was an interesting concert, and for this reason alone. The afternoon marked the debut, in the auditorium of Chalif's, of the De Packh Ensemble, a small orchestra Merivale and Helen Ware will assist. "The Road to Rome" will be presented in London about the end of May.

The leading woman has not yet been chosen, but Philip Merivale will play his original role of Hannibal. Sir Guy Standing will replace him in the Cowl company when he goes auioaa. AMUSEMENTS MANHATTAN. HENRY 'n A. A.

A vocal quartet con sisting of Elsie Wieber, soprano; Nyra Dorrance, mezzo-alto; Robert Elwin, tenor, and Herbert Wellington-Smith, baritone, assisted, as did Muriel Pol lack, pianist. Miss Pollack played in an arrangement of Chopin's G-minor Ballade and an excerpt Irom Gerslv win's "Rhapsody in Blue." The pro grain for the Ensemble included music by Mendelssohn, Schubert, Grieg, Brahms and others. Mr. De Packh exhibited himself not only as a tran scriber of other men's music but as a composer in his own right, contribut ing gracefully written and enjoyable pieces to tne atternoon.

The Ensemble played well and had, in the soloists mentioned, able assistance. OTHER MUSIC. The popular English Singers made their second ana last appearance 01 the current season in Brooklyn yes terday evening and. as on the former occasion, the smaller of the audi toriums of the Academy of Music as more than well tilled. As usual, this sextet of singers sat informally about their taoie witn tneir part-books and proceeded to Impart to the audience with their unfailing cheeriness and charm the very essence of the Merry Old England of the Elizabethan period.

The selected program of the evening was again drawn from the Seventeenth Century writers and was composed of typical motets, madrigals, ballets and louc-songs, There was in addition an amusing novelty entitled "The Cryes of London" a heterogeneous medley in the course of which one heard the chants of the Watchman, the Town Cryer. the Cooper and the Chimney "Swepe" interspersed with the numerous and frequent cries of street venders of a wide assortment of foodstuffs and other what-nots. This number was given standing up, and Mr. Kelly fur nished the niano acoomnaniment. The genial Mr.

Kelly at intervals during the program aiso maae some explanatory remarks about the music and of the customs existing in that era which were quite illuminating. The a capclla singing of the sextet had all of its customary excellence of ensemble and comprehension and sympathy for the old polyphonic style. fc- Comedy to Be Revived at Goodman Show Immediately upon his arrival home from Europe, this week, Philip Goodman will begin work upon the musical production that is to succeed his "The Five o'clock Girl," next fall at the 44th Street Theater.

The third act takes place in the Chinaman's laundry and offers the greatest activity of the three, with troopers popping up at the right time from strange places.

The action of the other two acts is slow and desultory. Mr. Mack keeps it going largely by creating and maintaining interest in his leading character. That char acter he plays ingratiatingly enough. Marie Chambers periorms enective- ly as "Swede" Cora.

Per' lups its promises are chiefly those of its leading character, who declares himself to be a clever man, though he is backward about being explicitly clever at any particular moment, and promises from the very start swift and emcient tilings tne way 01 deiectine murderers.

Mr. Mack is once more Michael Devlin, that dashing, bragging, amiable, romantic swashbuckler of the Boval Mounted who took so vivid a part in the best of this dramatist's plays.

"Tiger Rose." "Tiger Rose" had David Belasco to smooth and quicken it in the staging. "The Soarlet Fox" is less lucky to be ione bv Mack single-handed. Devlin nnd his stalwart troopers are called into the mining town of Drumheller, Alberta, to keep strikers from growing too obstreperous, and while there happen upon a murder.

Burke Claude King Dr. Eustace Gill William Austin Minms Luther Jacqueline Gadsdon "When a man sees red." observes an introductory caption in "Red Hair," the current picture at the Paramount Theater, "it usually means trouble for some one; when he sees red hair it means trouble for himself." And so the basic motive of this Elinor Glyn preachment is established, leaving little room for argument of this palpitating subject once the titian-haired Clara Bow is Introduced in a natural color sequence which serves to prove that Miss Bow's towseled locks are really of a definite burnt orange hue.

As it proceeds to elaborate upon the Olynian contention that redheaded girls are no better and no worse than the less vividly adorned species of the sex, "Red Hair" settles down into a pleasant little comedy of, to be sure, no singular importance. Its high moment arrives, probably, during an episode where Miss Bow-breaks off relations with three of her more ardent admirers who are old enough to know better, breaks off relations, in fact, by re-turning the presents with which they nad hoped to win at least her temporary favor. When it is brought out lhat these presents were largely in the form of feminine raiment and Mat in order to return them Miss Bow must necessarily expose moror her own natural rharms than is entirely proper, some Idea of the goings-on at the Paramount this week may be gained. The exhibition, needless to say, is hardly less pleasing than It is startling, and as this delegate cannot recall at the moment any one more suited to the occasion than Clara Bow, it merely goes to show that the movies know how to bring out the best in Its actresses, popular opinion to the contrary notwithstanding. Clarence Badger, who directed the film, has managed to maintain a con-intent mild comedy gait which largely neutralizes the lack of an adequate mory.

Miss Bow makes the most of the central character by her usually spirited and charming performance, hile Lane Chandler does a generally efficient job of the masculine lead.

Ordinarily, we are the bird who can get away with a minimum of no Hour's sleep nightly, for a month in succession, and look as though we just returned from a vacation in the mountains. But this is, as you well know, spring and in the spring 11 hours' leep nightly merely puts us in humor for three days more of it. Always, in the spring, we cast envious glances at the cows one sees munching their monotonous cud, in the fields.

Beggars and bums and absent-minded protestors shared benches in the park, and cries of "shine 'cm up" were rebellious and half-hearted.
