COMPOSERS GREET VIDAS AT DEBUT
French Violinist, Rumanian Born, Wins Real Success at Carnegie Hall.
SYMPHONY SOCIETY PLAYS
Levitzki Assists in Repeated Program at Aeolian—Lydia Ferguson at Punch and Judy.
Score one for France! There may be a famine of G-strings, as reported in New York, but there's no lack of fiddlers, and the latest of these—welcomed by a great audience in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon—was hailed as "the first Auerless violinist" after a season or two of constant prodigies from Petrograd, a record that was fast becoming proverbial in a phrase from Mr. McAdoo's most famous lines, "every Auer on the Auer."
Raoul Vidas, violinist of France, pupil of the Conservatioire—a child of Rumania, turned Parisian since his second year—broke the tradition momentarily yesterday, as Guiomar Novaes of the pianists once shattered the Leachetizky legend not so long ago.
Vigas, strangely mature at 16 years, intelligent, musicianly, struck his first note in a classic not of France but composed by the Italian-born Corelli, and entitled "Folies d'Espagne." It is thus that the musical repertory since the war is attempting to get itself "unscrambled," for all the world like Europe's little nationalities that first breathe freedom's air today. In Edouard Lalo's "Concerto Russe," as wholly unfamiliar as it was informal, rather a "suite" of Slavic airs and dances, the young player showed his tone quality in the songlike middle movement, his rhythmic verve in the final allegro, that earned an encore. Rhythm, indeed—clean-cut, cameo phrasing—is his foremost trait.
Three composers in the boxes heard their little pieces that followed an andante of Tartini. Jacques Thibaud's arrangement of Wieniawski's "Saltarelle" had to be repeated. Raoul Laparra's "Intermezzo" led to Fritz Kreisler's famous "Prelude and Allegro" from Pugnani, given with individual authority and power. Besides the Sarasate "Jota Navarraise," there was Ries's "Perpetuum Mobile" for a muted encode, wherein the accompanist, L. T. Gruenberg, finished gamely after the printed music had scattered on the floor.
Violinists present, besides Kreisler, Heifetz, and Thibaud, were of New York's own, Kneisel, Efrem Zimbalist, Maximilian Pilzer, Bernard Sinsheimer, and many more, of both the young and the "old guard."
Other Concerts of a Day.
The Symphony Society adourned from Carnegie to Aeolian Hall yesterday for the second of its midtown matinés, repeating a program already reviewed in yesterday's issue of The Times. There was a capacity audience for Walter Damrosch's men and for the piano soloist, Mischa Levitzki.
A matinée at the Punch and Judy, announced as Lydia Ferguson's second recital in New York, disclosed the young artist in costume in "A Day in Brittany," a day of charming old airs, from "Les Belles Mannières" to "Le Petit Mari." Miss Ferguson in her own right showed a pleasing voice in earlier classics from Mozart, Homelli, Gluck, and Horne, as well as modern songs, including "The Withered Leaf," dedicated to her by Louis Edgar Johns.
From pupil to teacher, it was interesting to turn last evening at the Maxine Elliott Theatre to another the Yvette Guilbert's receitals, the more imitated, the more inimitable. Through the solemnities of Guilbert Jaeckel packed the grimaces of Yvette Hyde. Yet the serious note of the "Legendes Dorées" touched on age-old faiths, on golden legends of the saints, with artistry as sure as that of the bold "gamin" pieces. Mme. Guilbert made a speech on the war.
"Tyltyl" in a Tone Poem.
"Tyltyl," in a tone poem, is the theme of Eric De Lamarter's music for "The Betrothan," Maeterlinck's sequel to "The Blue Bird," which Winthrop Ames will produce at the Shubert Theatre for the first time on any stage next Thursday. It has as its "leading motice" that of the Veiled Figure which dominates the love quest of the young hero. There are the Six Sweethearts, each of whom has a motive; the Fairy Berylune, Destiny, Light, the Turning of the Sapphire, the Miser's Gold, and, of course, Tyltyl, the hero, represented musically. The orchestra required will be unusual for a theatre, including flute, oboe, clarinets, bassoon, horn, trumpet, harp, three violin parts, viola, 'cello, double bass, tympany and traps. The conductor the Theodore Spiering.
"Verdun's" Heroic March.
Of two Philharmonic novelties Thursday evening, both are French in suggestion and one in authorship. The symphonic poem, "Sarabande," by Reoger-Ducasso, is written for orchestra and an invisible choir of male and female voices. The work will have its first performances in America next Thursday and Friday. The other novelty is Sir Charles Villier Stanford's "Verdun," a solemn march and heroic epilogue composed in commemoration of the glorious deeds of the French Army at Verdun—"They shall not pass!"—and is dedicated by the English composer "to the French musician, Charles M. Widor, and the great country to which he belongs." This will be the first public hearing of "Verdun" in this country, aside from a private festival last year at Norfolk, Conn.
Orchestral Novelties.
The Philadelphia Orchestra at the first of its five Carnegie Hall matinées, on Nov. 19, will present Chausson's "Poeme de l'Amour et de la Mer," never before heard in New York. The work is in three parts, the first for voice and orchestra, entitled "La Fleur des Eaux," the second an orchestral interlude, and the third "La Mort de l'Amour." The soloist is Margaret Matzenauer.
Three "Tanagra Dances," new in the current New York Symphony programs, are by Paul Vidal, Professor of Composition at the Paris Conservatiore and conductor at the Opera Comique. The dances are from a ballet in two acts, the wordless "book" by Jean Richepin. They are entitled "Danse des Menades." "Danse d'Aphrodite," and "Danse de Crotales."

FRENCH SCHOLARS ARRIVE.
Sent by Their Government to Lecture at American Universities.
Five members of a group of French scholars, delegated by their Government to put before the Maerican people in the form of a series of university lectures on some of the leading features of French civilization, her ideals, aspirations, and scientific progress, arrived here yesterday. Two others of the seven members, who will be known as the Mission of French Scholars to the United States, are now exchange professors at Columbia University. All will be guests of Columbia pending the arranging of the schedule for their itinerary of two months, during which they will appear at all the leading universities and colleges.
Three of the lecturers come from active service in the present war. They are Dr. Theodore Reinach of the Institute de France and Lieutenant Colonel in the French Army; Captain Charles Cazamian and Dr. Etienne Burnet, surgeon with the French forces. Captain Cazamian, Professor of English Literature at the University of Paris, is the author of studies on the social aspects of English literature. Dr. Burnet of the Pasteur Institute is a specialist in microbiology. The other members are: Dr. Charles Koechlin, composer and critic of music, who has contributed interesting studies to the history of French music; Dr. Seymour de Ricchi, art critic and secretary of The Gazette des Beaux-Arts; Professor Emmanuel de Martonne, one of the most widely known French geographers, who has been an exchange professor at Columbia three weeks, and Professor Fernand Baldensperger, Professor of French Literature at Columnbia. Both are from the University of Paris.
Commenting on the objects of the mission Lieut. Col. Reinach made the prediction that every American soldier now in France would be an agent for the furthering of good will and political ties between France and America.

'LITTLE WOMEN' SHOWN ON SCREEN
The Strand Presents Brady's Motion-Picture Version of Louisa M. Alcott's Book.
BERT HALL AT THE RIVOLI
Aviator Appears Personally in "Romance of the Air"—"Woman's Experience" at the Rialto.
William A. Brady as producer, Harley Knowles as director, and all others concerned, have done a good piece of work in the so-called "picturizing" of "Little Women," which was shown yesterday at the Strand Theatre. Of course Louisa M. Alcott's famous story cannot be told on the screen completely, and no doubt many of those who love it will consider any attempt to turn it into a "movie" as a sort of sacrilege; but leaving these considerations aside, and judging Mr. Brady's production on its merits as a photoplay, one must say that it is good. And there will be a large number of admirers of the original "Little Women" who, instead of offense, will find delight in the animated illustrations of the story.
Owing to the co-operation of the Alcott Memorial Committee in permitting scenes of the photoplay to be made in and about the author's home in Concord, Mass., and owing also to a careful attention to customing and other details on the part of Mr. Knowles and others, "Little Women" on the screen really has what can best be described by that much-abused word, atmosphere—the atmosphere of a New England home in the sixties. Many of its scenes are charming glimpses of the period.
The acting, on the whole, is satisfactory. At times there is about it too much conscious posing and a lack of character delineation, but these faults become less conspicuous as the story proceeds and heightened interest supplies deficiencies. Another criticism that must be made is that the action is too frequently interrupted by sub-titles. And while minor shortcomings are being indicated, it should be mentioned that in reproducing a telegram supposed to have been sent in 1863, the director permitted the name of Newcomb Carlton, President of the Western Union, to show at the top of the blank. Mr. Carlton was born in 1869. Yesterday's spectators at the Strand seemed to respond with mirth and quick sympathy as gay scenes and grave were flashed before them.
Another item on the Strand bill is "Scrambles in the High Alps," a Burlingham travel-scenic, showing unusual views of mountain climbing in the Alps.
Mary Beland's Film Debut.
"A Woman's Experience" at the Rialto is that type of photographed stage play which, in the opinion of some, can never put the screen in high place as a vehicle for drama, but of its kind it is one of the best productions seen on Broadway recently. By the technique of Perry N. Vekroff, the director, and a number of the actors the situations are vividly developed to something approaching dramatic climaxes. Mary Boland, the featured player, who makes her debut on the screen, is often effective, though she sometimes falls short of the mark or overreaches it. Corine Uzzell, whose exceptional pantomimic ability was strikingly demonstrated in the part of the mulatto in "A Woman of Impulse," again plays with distinction. There are two scenes between her and Sam Hardy, who is also adequate, in which the action is made dramatic and clear without the aid of a single subtitle.
The photoplay, which is based more or less faithfully upon Paul M. Potter's "Agnes," has nothing in itself to commend it. It pretends to be a story of high life, with a moral, but the pretence is not sustained.
"Sumatra," a Post travel picture of the Malay Archipelago, offers education by way of entertainment.
Bert Hall Sees His Picture.
"A Romance of the Air," the feature of the Rivoli, is a melodrama of the war in which Lieutenant Bert Hall of the Lafayette Escadrille and Edith Day play the principal parts. It is highly melodramatic, but includes a number of excellent scenes of airplane activity, and the story holds interest. Lieutenant Hall adds to the interest by a personal appearance at each showing of the film.
"Suspicion," with Grace Davison, and "Shoulder Arms," with Charlie Chaplin, in its third week, are the offerings of the Broadway.
Friars Will Frolic for War Fund.
Among those who will take part in the Friars' Frolic at the Metropolitan next Sunday in aid of the allied war funds will by Cyril Maude, George M. Cohan, William Collier, Lew Fields, Joe Weber, Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, Leo Ditrichstein, Joseph Cawthorn, Frank Tinney, James J. Corbett, De Wolf Hopper, Doyle and Dixon, and John Charles THomas. An escpecially prepared program will be given instead of the customary series of individual specialties. An auction sale of seats will take place at the Cohan & Harris Theatre tomorrow afternoon.
