"The Patriot" Comes to Town Other News of the Theater Music tax AMI SEMENT BROOKLYN. AMI SEMENTS ANHATT AN. "The Enemy" Music of the Day The Theaters ARTHUR fOLLOCK "The Patriot," a German Drama About the Fall of One of Russia's Tsars, Is Presented Imposingly by Gilbert Miller at the Majestic Theater I A STEADY, sober, measured drama of eight scenes Count Teter Alexeie-vitch Pahlen. military governor of St. Peten.burg.

brought to an end the reign of Tsar Paul the First at the Majestic Theater in Manhattan last evening in a play from the German of Alfred Neumann. The play called "The Patriot," Pahlen being the patriot of the title, and in the adaptation of Ashley Dukes it is an excellent piece of dramatic Titing. Gilbert Miller, having staged it deftly and with dignity, present it ith unobtrusively beautiful settings by Norman-Bel Geddes. Most plays of court intrigue and murder and the sudden death of kings and emperors are made up of stage nhispers. mysterious comings and goings and runnings in and out and other dodges nothing if not theatrical.

Unlike Ralph Forbe; appearing oppotite Lillian Cieh in the screening of Channing Pollock' play at the Attor Theater. them. -The Patriot is calm and quietly concrete. Its drama leisurely and sure. This is no helter-skelter 01 claptrap.

It begins to be d.fficult to believe in only, at the end. when Count Pahlen, the job in hand accomplished to his satisfaction if not to the complete calm of his conscience, goes theatrical and makes speeches to his trusty Stepan. right-hand man and murckrer. that s.iow him to be altogether too conscious Of his audience out front. The scene is St.

Petersburg, the time 1E0O and 1801. Paul Russia's Tsar, is flgedty, incompetent, pitiful, likable and without adult brains. Count Pahlen feeds him all the food lor thought he thinks he ought to have, deceives him shrewdly, conspires to get rid of him and put his son, the young Grand Duke Alexander, upon the throne. It is not an easy task Pahlen appoints himself to accomplish, since Paul is not easy to hate. Even the count own mistress, whom for a purpose lie makes the Tsar's mistress, finds the feeble-minded ruler a man to whom she had rather not see violence or injustice cone.

And Pahlen has his own conscience to compete with. His is an interesting character, drawn adroitly, dramatically, though no great depths are touched. He is the patriot; he it is whose efforts in the end result in the murder of the Tsar. The end he aims at is one of expediency a good end. And yet, as he induces the stolid Stepan to tell him and the audience in the last few minutes of the play, his patriotic ends are achieved by rascality.

He is a great rascal. He is a noble rascal, too, ordering Stepan calmly, after his job is done, to shoot him and himself as the final curtain comes down. Perhaps "The Patriot" is a shrewd guess on the part of Alfred Neumann as to the manner in which royal poli- New Cohan Farce to is to Type A CORDIAL 1XYHATI05 la tmalil a tmm a4 law rrtr.ai by tee KEW YORK C05YIYIAL CITJB at Their fin Leap Tear Dance A Entertainment II THE V.ANSITT BOTES.

BROOKLYN will see George M. Cohan's new farce, "The Mischief-Makers," before it gets to Broadway. The cast includes William Harri-gan.

Chester Morris, Elsie Lawson, Anne Shoemaker, Walter Edwin, Edith Gresham and Jerry Lynch. The patrons of Teller's Shubert are looking forward to a special treat next week, when the first musical zBt EDWARD IN CARNEGIE HALL last evening the sinister Signor Molinui once again confronted Uie Philharmonic Orchestra and harried it through program of Beethoven, Gemlmani. Martucci. Debussy and Rossini. It was probably the season's worst program, and Signor Molinari did little to alleviate its tedium.

For all its physical violence, Signor Molinan's conducting produces nothing of a proocative future. The c- comparun.i which he wrought to Beethoven Violin Concerto was well proportioned and clearly articulated, bul nothmg more, and the balance of the program, beginning with an Andante for Strings, Harp and Organ by Geminiani and ending with the overture to Rossini's "Semiramide," promised so little of interest that we lied the hall. The soloist was Jacques Thibaud, whose playing, distinguished as in the past by a tense, penetrating tone, was ess laultiess tnan one might nave desired. His finger work was not al ways perfect, and his intonation frequently inaccurate. But for all of that we enjoyed Mr.

Thibaud's performance. We entertain a purely personal preterence for his tone, which is. perhaps, less beautiful than It is Individual, and we admire the precision and neatness of his style. We should rather this is in the way of a confession hear Mr. Thibaud play the slow movement of the Concerto as he played it last evening than hear any other fiddler, from Scipione Guidi to Fritz Kreislcr, play Brahms and Mozart two hours running.

At the Opera House Mme. Galli-Curci and Mr. Ruffo embellished the cast of a "Barber of Seville." The performance had its wonted humor, of a broadly farcical nature, and its wonted sentiment. Mme. Galli-Curci's Interpolations in the Lesson Scene consisted of Proch's Variations and "Home, Sweet Home," which she sang heedfully and well.

The Count was Mr. Chamlee in disguise. Mr, Bel lezza conducted. OTHER MUSIC. Nina Koshetz, soprano, opened her song recital at the Town Hall last evening with three airs by J.

S. Bach, with organ and violin accompani ments. They were "Komm, susser Tod," "Ich hatte viel Bekummeriss' and the Recitative and Hymn from the Cantata "Spring and Love." There followed a group of French songs by raure, Ravel ana Migot, whose un accompanied "Baladins," dedicated to Mme. Koshetz, received its first performance. The third group was composed of Spanish and Mexican songs by De Falla, Nin and Ponce.

The concluding selections brought some Russian and English folk songs. A large number of the songs on this program were dedicated to Mme. Koshetz, who delivered them with thorough comprehension and effective portrayal of both mood and sentiment. Her voice is one of quality and power, expressive in its delicacy of shading and intelligently modu lated, although her high tones held RESTAURANTS MANHATTAN, "Really, Clara, you Saved the Day!"

Neighborhood Revival The Neighborhood Playhouse, un der the direction of Alice and Irene Lewisohn, will make its next production in May, 1928, one year from the date of its closing. These performances, however, will be given, not at the theater on Grand but in a larger uptown theater. in all tormer productions, because of the small size of the theater, less emphasis was placed upon musical expression than desired.

This year symphonic music will be the basis of the production. The Neighborhood Playhouse Is co-operating with the Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of Nikolai Sokoloff, choosing works from the orchestra's regular repertoire. More Fame for O'Neill In addition to the production In Moscow by the Moscow Art Theater of Eugene O'Neill's "Lazarus Laughed," with Dantchenko directing, the play will also be pro duced, within the next two months, at the scnauspieinaus in Frankfort, Germany.

WANDERING about as we do, it has always been this department's pleasure and privilege to assist in the discovery of persons and places that for one thing and another should be more widely known than they are. Struggling artists, gentlemen who put so plebeian a thing as an oyster stew togetner with more finesse than their neighbors, struggling young actors who would rather act than stand in front of the Palace and yawp about and people who are doing things we feel more people should know about have time and again been surprised to find their names in the column. And so now we want to do some more attention-calling. This time the object of our interest is none other than Mr. George Fleming Houston.

Mr. Houston doesn't need any assistance. He's doing very nicely with the American Opera Company; at this very writing playing Mephistopheles in Faust, Figaro in the opera of that name, and what all. Nevertheless, we want to do some pointing out. Not that Mr.

Houston hasn't a perfectly swell voice. He has. It isn't a great voice, but is a voice which, coupled with his personality, gets him over. What we do want to do is to direct the attention of some motion picture company, director, casting director, or contract writer, to Mr. Houston.

In the humble opinion of this writer, Mr. Houston has everything that the beloved Rudolph Valentino had, and then a few. Mr. Houston has gobs and gobs of "It." His gestures remind us of those of the late Valentino; his buoyancy, his apparent ego and, certainly, his self-confidence and poise. We predict that one of these days, one of the aforementioned motion-picture big-wigs is going to discover Mr.

Houston, and straight-way a great motion-picture star Is going to stand where only a passable opera singer stood before. We're happy, indeed, to be in at the attention-calling. SWELL LETTER. Dear Rian: May I Join your long distance harem? I know you prefer them blonde and my hair is blueblack, but in spite of that I can be quite nice. Perhaps I lack the passionate fervor of some of your letter-writing ladiea.

Still, even a column conductor ought to appreciate variety. Till hear differently, I remain: LILITH. We don't any such thing, LILITH. We would rather have one blue-black-haired letter-writer who sends in poetry iwhich fills space) than eleven blondes who don't even send in telephone numbers. And don't be deceived.

We have more lovely letters from ladies than would fill two desk drawers, and for all that, we have less telephone numbers than any seven married men on the staff. Figure that out! And where'd you ever see a green star? Answer us that! ON THE BOARDWALK. A green star in a violet sea; No-one to see it, Only Just me. A green star in a purple sky; No-one admires it, Save only I.

Anonymous has relatives! And what we want to know now In exactly what an "Average reader" Is.

Anyway, weve never met any one to whom that designation wouldn't be con sidered as being insulting. Hence, Reverting is directed to those of The Eagle's readers -who like such wahoo as the conductor of Reverting is brainy enough to set down. Those Eagle readers who don't consider the chauffeur of Reverting brainy enough to set anything down and we don't doubt that there are scads of them buy The Eagle because there are about fifty other departments written by ladies and gentlemen with more brains than you could aggregate in the entire State of Texas.

NOSSIR, WE ARE NOT! Dear Rian: Tell me, are you the bozo who reviewed last week's Mark Strand show? And if so, are you the perverted person who said that Eldora Abigail Esmeralda Stanford was your favorite movie Sopranny? When she sweeps onto the stage, opening that beautiful mouth of hers, and lets out Blah Blah Blue Heaven, the footlights seem to shine on a personality overflowing with N'it'. And by the way, Rian, have you ever noticed the look of triumph on the face of Willy Stahl as he concludes a piece? It's simply ga-ga! PENNEL. Nossir, as we indicated before, it weren't us. We don't review the Strand. To be accurate, we aren't exactly wild about the open-faced dis-lnfectant that they frighten the microbes off with at that theater 'And it's the Manhattan Strand we have in mind.) Hence, we're as innocent of Willy Stahl's expression as a new-born babe.
