LIVES IN NORWAY TO PAINT SNOW SCENES William M. Singer's Nature, Studies Aro Exhibited in Folsom Galleries. WATER COLQItS ON YIEW Works of Mrs. W. J. Stillmnn Shown Flower Drawings Attractivo Feature. The moat recent work ot the Impres- sionist William M. 61nfftr la now being shown In the Folsom Galleries. The are enow scenes done some- where In Norway where anow scenes are the chief product ot the country. Mr. Singer, It seems, has mads him- self a willing exile, and has taken up a residence In & amall village In this far away and northern land, determined to paint the things ho loves best In the manner he sees (It, and without refer-en- ca to the fashions In painting that may come and go In the art contres. 'Such an experiment Is Interesting and bound to produce results unless the art- ist should In the meantime eo mad through loneliness. As an artist, Mr. Singer has seemed In the past to have been exactly the thing he now seeks to avoid stylist with such careful citified manners that the possessor passed almost unremarked. He painted then, as now, snow scenes, but his range seemed limited, and It re- quired a distinct effort of memory upon the part of the spectator to recall Just how the tree nnd the frozen, brook and the hillside differed from the tree, brook and hill previously shown. These Items, howover, always were ably handled, and presented with an agreeable (if re- strained palette. It may be too soon to note definite Independence of manner in Mr. Singer's new landscapes, yet there Is certainly a greater freedom and a bolder, touch to be remarked. He still has enough of his city habits to like to do things easily. lie uses canvases that seem systematically to be about twice the size that the theme would warrant, and he paints al- most as thinly as Mr, Alexander used to do upon his absorbent canyses. Such a method is almost too easy and la 87t to drift the artist into too great a reliance upon tricks. There Is. however, no need for Mr. Plnger's admirers to Indulge In prema- ture worry. The hardy, robust life the artist has picked for his own Is the Ideal corrective for such mannerisms. If cor- rective be needed.

Bmaduav at 6bSt. view In the gallery of the Willow Brook! Company, Mrs. Htlllman was Intimately associated with the leaders of the great movement, and In her youth posed so often for her friends Dante Gabriel Itossettl and Burne-Jone- s that it Is sometimes questioned whether It were not she Instead ot Mrs. nossettl whoso profile fired the type that these artists made famous. Mrs. Sttllman has a gracious talent as a painter of flowers and flower gar- dens and her drawings make all the more appeal In these noisy days by their extreme quiet nnd freedom from affectation. Her flower paintings In particular have a charm that Is quite Old World and deserve wide apprecia- tion. CONCERTS GALORE COVER WIDE FIELD Interesting Sunday; Offerings Cater to Music lovers of All Tastes. The glad Christmasllde having winged Its way Into the past, tho feverish actlv? ity of the musical Sabbath was resumed yesterday. Concert's and concerts were given and the air shook with harmonies and disharmonies, wllh the voices of In- struments .nnd humans. I Possibly no other of the contributions to the Joy of living was more interesting than the re- cital of Benno Moieeiwltsch' pianist, In Carnegie Hall. The vounrman had already been heard and the characteristics of his art' pretty fully revealed. Nothing new came to the surface yesterday, but yet there was much that seemed new because of Its application. For Instance, Mr. Molsel-wltec- h played the C major prelude from tho \Well Tempered Clavichord,\ a com- position known to most people as the ac- companiment ot Gounod's \Ave Marin,\ and ho played It exquisitely, transform- ing the piano Into a glorified clavichord. One could Imagine old Bach beaming with delight upon the performance. Beethoven's \Sonata Appassionato,'1 which followed, wanted something of the roar of a Hon. Mr. Molselwltsch's dy- namics run much to whispering planls-sl- and there were moments In the so- nata when the outlines became very faint But it wan a most musical and sincerely felt reading, rich In Imagina- tion and certainly sound In Its general trend. Schumann's \Krelslerlana\ stood next on the list These piano \Tales of Hof-man- n' gave the young artist scope for a publlcatln of his romantic tendencies which proved to be well defined. If not yet deeply graven. But the final pages were beautifully played Indeed. A group of pianist's pieces stirred th adorers of virtuoso magic o grc.xt en- thusiasm. They were a prelude by tllachmanlnov (not C sharp minor), a dazzling ctudo In F sharp by Stravinsky, nn umlulant \Sea.\ by I'aimgrcn. a \Re- frain de Berceau'' and a quaint little \Bird Song\ by the same writer, and a brilliant toccata by Debussy. Three Chopin numbers nnd a bit of Mozart's j\Le Nozze dl Figaro,\ decorated by Liszt and polished again by Busonl, fin- ished the recital. Symphony Concert. The Symphony Society continued Its regular Sunday afternoon concerts In Aeolian Hall yesterday with a pro- gramme offering an Interesting novelty. Mme. Wurmser-Delcour- t, a French harp- ist made her debut In this country as the soloist, playing the chrumatlc harp, an Instrument which had not been heard In public before In America. She played first Plerne'a \Concertstueck. for Harps Chromatlque with Orchestra.\ and later Debussy's \Danse Sacre\ and \Danse Profane.\ Her performance had much technical dexterity and grace of style to commend It and It was much ap- plauded. Her Instrument, i.cnv some twenty, years old. In France proved to be an ordinary harp (though one of more cumbersome size), tut with a chromatic scale. Naturally more efTects can be obtained on the new harp, though yesterday Its tone seemed to lack brilliance. The numbers In the programme yesterday for orchestra were Weber's \Frelschuotx\ overture, Frnnck'a D minor symphony and Wagner's \Sounds of the Forest\ from \Siegfried\ and his prelude to Act 3. \lAibengrln.\ Russian Music flip programme given by the New Sjmphony Society at Us concert In Car- negie Hall last evening was a repetition of the one heard at the organization's concert last Friday. It contained only Russian music. The orchestral numbers were a set of \Variations for Orchestra,\ opus 2, by Maximilian Osselevich Stein- berg and Illmsky-Korsakov'- B suite, \The Tale ot Tsar Sultan,\ opus 57. Stein- berg's name was unknown here until the hearing of his variations last Fri- day. Born at Vllnn, Russia, In 1SSS. he later became a pupil as also a ot Rlmsky-KorBako- v. His few published works Include two symphonies and a string quartet. There are ten In his set of variations, though Mr. Bodanzky omitted the third one. Not ot the most recent style of the Russian school, they are written with a rather conventional mode of thematic treatment and contain good melody and some rich coloring. The suite by Rlmsky-Korsako- ff was almost another novelty here. It has three ports, which tho composer called \musical pictures,\ and coi'.sUts of music taken by the composer from his opera, -- Tho Tale of Tear Sultan,\ with text based on a story found by IMnhkin In Russian folk lore. Much of the music of the suite Is reminiscent In character. The soloist ot the evening was Serge Rachmanlnov, who played, as the second number, his own first piano concerto In F sharp minor, opus . He used his revljed edition of the work as lte had played It here last season with the Rus- sian Symphony Orchestra. His perform- ance united dignity of feeling with a bravura Btyle. Hercules Rlamateo. pianist, fcnve his first recital here yesterday afternoon In the Princess Thentni. His programme Included Beethoven's variations on a Russian tbeme, two pieces by himself, one being an \Elegy\ dedicated to Isa- bella Sforza, and IJszt's \Rlgoletto\ paraphrase. His playing disclosed se- riousness, but in general there van not sufficient musical ability to sustain Hospital to He Enlarged.

STEONG PLAY AT STRAND Another Arctic Story Told at tho Capitol \forbidden\ at tho Uroadway. There are thrills galore In fact, enpugh to satisfy even the riotous Doug- las Fairbanks In his latest picture, \When the Clouds Roll By,\ at the RIvoll this week, for It can truly be said there Is a flood of thrills. Indeed, In addition to Falrbanks's gymnastic and gyrating smile, his second film for United Artists virtually features a flood and the story Is swept alonj on It This time Fairbanks has ubandoned the dry stretches of the deseit, where so often he has frolicked, and immersed himself In action In a very damp tale. There Ib a realistic .bursting of a .dam, and when the train on which the hero and heroine are travelling Is swept away by the torrent, Fairbanks, as Daniel Boone BrotflH, perrorms prodigies of valor gathering up all ths stray pas- sengers, but finally comes lo roost In a tree without having been able to do the honors In rescuing his Lucette. Presently this young woman charm- ingly portrayed by Kathleen Clifford rides past on nn unhitched roof. Brown swims out to her, and there ensue some amusing scenes In which he convinces her of his rival's treachery, and dives Into the house as an nquatls commissary to rustle grub for her under the sur- face, for apparently one can be hungry even when one Is In love and In a deluge. The Minister Floats II y. The girl hearkens to lirown' dripping protestations of love above the roar of the waters, though obviously Jlrotctt must have had to do som? rcmantlc roaring himself. Thereupon Itroicn plucks out of the submerged landscape a minister who Is wandering con- veniently past on his church, and a marine marriage Is performed, with the wedding decorations consisting princi pally of water. In this, ambitious and picturesque pro- duction, conceived rpalnly by tho star, tho nthpr artnra have to hon about pretty lively to play something besides a corpse, lor success in mis pigmr-scer- na to have depended rrnr on the power of their arteries than their art. With Its stirring movement relieved by comedy It Is one of the best films In which Fairbanks has Indulged, giving him an opportunity not onlv to do cx- - llnf aarlntia rhnrnrter BCtlne as a hypnotist's subject, but iro to show how creditably ana entertainingly nc would have performed In tho Johnstown flood.

At nny rate, the .manner In which he has answered It on the screen, through the medium of nn average American family.

THIRD WHIRL OPENS ON CENTDRY ROOF First Aid io Indigestion Of- fered hy Morris Gest in New Offering. Th third whirl ot the Morris Gest series' In the Century Grove (positively no connection with Ocean Grove) atop the Century Theatre started spinning yesterday about the time Saturday be- came Sunday amid the pop ot mineral water bottles and the sparkle of lepartee. The reason It Is called a whirl Is that this word rhymes with girl, the principal ingredient of the new show. The un breakable commandment that In life on the roofs of New York all men must be funnv and all Klrls must be pretty nnd both must bo active Is entirely lived up to In the new show. It Is probable that the whirl will be most appreciated by those who have spent the shank of the evening at some gloomy, Indigestible or thought Inducing play, for It resembles the musical comedy of vaudeville mixture too closely to be greatly appreciated by nil except the most unsophisticated who can stand two hours of 'Troth upstairs after three hours of the same on tho surface. Good food Is to be had at a price, and all of those who surrendered their coats or rowns to the custodians yesterday morn ing manifestly had the price. Although the costumes of the girls leave little to the Imagination and even less for the art of the costumer, the designer has done his most tasteful on the srruill Held assigned to mm, and Hie scenery, by Joseph Urban, is also good. Although there is notning great or startling about the music it goes well' with tho rebt of tile entertainment. Helen Hhlnman nlays a variety of parts, ranging from Toll td a Good Littla Fairy. Bessie McCoy Davis also fur- nishes much of the entertainment, but Is best as a Chinaman In a peculiar mri of- - fantasy called \Lime House Nights,\ In which her own stylo of dancing is shown to advantage. Bernard Gran- ville Is tho principal man dancer. James Watts of the rainbow race and golden voice gavo his version of classic dances, a version which Is bo close to the original of some of our aesthetic rinnees that It Is sometimes funny, ex cept of Course, to classic dancers. He scored in a parouy, \Apnronigntie. on the show downstairs, and also succeeded In pleasing the diners in a snaKe nance. \Let Cutle Cut Your Cuticle.\ as sung (and act(d) by Annette Bade, should also receive honorable mnntlon. Other features wcra George and Dick Rath, athletes who ath, nnd Bennett and Richards as Dark Clouds. Between hnd after the show the diners showed their own skill In the dance line.

PRINCE'S SON WEDS FRANCES LAWRENCE New York Girl Bride of An- dre Poniatowski. PjiniB, Dec. 28, Miss Frances Law- rence, daughter of Mrs, Francis C. Law-ren- of New York, was married yester- day to Andro Poniatowski, n. son ot Prince Andro Poniatowski. An elder brother of tho bridegroom, Prince Stanis- laus Poritatowakl, who Is a staff officer In the Polish army, and the Marquis de Barntes acted as Mi witnesses. The mother of tho bride before her marrlsga was MIbs Susan Willing, daughter of the late Mr. nnd Mrs. Ed- ward a Willing of Philadelphia and sla- ter ot Baroness Rlbblesdalc, who before her marrlago to the baron last Juno was Mrs. John Astor. Andre ponlatowskl's parents, Prlnco and Princess Andre Poniatowski. are well known In Now York and San Fran- cisco. Princess Poniatowski was Miss Elizabeth Sperry of Sin Francisco, Andre, who was born In Sfcn Francisco, served with his father nnd two brothers In tho Fronch. army (luring the war. Since the armistice he had been In the Polish army.' Tho nncestors of the Ponlatowskls were kings of Poland. FOR 'BIG BROTHERS' Wins 'Usual- - Ovation in Con- cert at Hipnodromo Net- ting $23,000. John McCormnck gave a concert last night at the Hlppodromo for tho benefit ot tho Catholic Big Brothers. There were, of course, other artists on the pro- gramme, but Mr. McCormack did moat of the work, and eighteen times during the evening sent his lilting tenor easily to the root of the huge theatre, and at the end of the evening many of the au- dience remained seated, clamoring for more. The Big Brothers, or possibly the little brothers whom tho Big Brothers nld, have a host ot friends In New York, and not only was ivery seat In the house taken, Including one occupied by the Right Rev. Patrick J. Hayes, Archbishop ot New York and honorary president of tho Catholic organization, hm about four hundred people were Jammed on the big stage. The proceeds of the concert, It is stated, probably will reach f 23.000. There were other eminent artists. In- cluding Ethel Barrymore, who recited two poems In her colorful voice, nnd then was forced to admit she had no more for the occasion. Cecil Burleigh, the violinist, played 'six selections, In- cluding three of his own composition, and responded to several encores. Tho big burden of the evening's entertainment, however, rested on the broad shoulders of the tenor, and obviously rested lightly. Mr. McCormnck's voice wandered dur- ing the evening from Handel's aria, \Oh! Sleep. Why Dost Thou Leave Me?\ through other classical music, the work ot American composers, made a long pause with the Irish folk songs, Includ- ing \Norah O'lNenle,\ 'The Last Rose of Summer\ nnd \Nelly My ixjve and Me,\ nnd finally came to rest at last after Fay Foster's \The Americans Come.\ In the midst of the music for Ethel r.arrymore's readings could nlso be so classed a gentleman In clerical black known to the programme as the Rov. Francis P. Duffy and to the audience as Father Duffy of tho Sixty-nint- under took a few remarks concerning toys, In j the course of which a few remarks about girls, Ethel Barrymore. Arcnnisnops, the nudlenco and men nnd women Inevitably crept In. With the audience he was very candid. \Tho fact that you here haven't police court records In your homo town Is due not so much to your own sobriety In your youth as to the Inefficiency ot tho police.\ he said, and .everybody agreed loudly. This won a good Jumping oft place from which to make a plea for the men to Join the tug iirouier move- ment to help boys out of trouble, nnd Father Duffy Jumped. He concluded: \Anv one here who Is a good enougn snort, or Christian, to take a boy In hand and straighten him out will renew his own youth, save his own soul and hnv the time of his life besides.\ The hard working, silent accompanists were Edwin .Schneider for Mr. .McCor- mack and Jacob Adler for Mr. Burleigh.

With the arrival of Mrs. Rennet the local officials took up the Investigation of n poswlblo Jealous motive Into the mysterious shooting, the solution of which Is as remote ns It was on tho day when Brown's lifeless body was dis- covered.

Tho report has been forwarded to the dovornor to be used us Iho basis for legislation to bo submitted to tho Legis- lature In accordance with a plodge made by dov. Smith at a meeting In tho Hotol Blltmore following the recent ml.k boy- cott fathered by the Community Councl s of New York city. He then said that If tho undernourished condition of children In public schools was due to high milk prices as alleged by Dr. Iloyal S. Cope-lan- d, Commissioner of Health nnd chair- man of the Fair Prico Committee, he would lend his aid In having tho com- modity declared a public utility and ad- ministered as such.

Ilreoiiinieiidntlons of Committee, Summed up briefly, the committee makes the following recommendations, which It believes If carried out will re- sult In a method of control of the milk Industry, which will Insure for the citi- zens of New York nn unfailing supply at a fair price, and It Is urged by the committee that bills be submitted to tho Legislature with the following points presented therein : First That the Legislature declare the milk business one affected with n public Interest and that the power to fix rates bo delegated to a new separate Stato board composed of three officials with nuthorlty to subpoena dealers In milk and their records and to fix prices paid to producers and charged by tho distributers to the consumer. Second That the city of New York be authorized to purchase, pastcurlzo nnd sell milk In the present emergency as a post-wa- r measuro and that this in- tent be declared In the title. Although tho committee expresses Its opinion based upon many weeks' study of tho problem that tho price of milk at present is excessive and unfair. It Is admitted that if the statements of producers and distributors aro accepted as correct, tho price cannot be reduced under present methods of costly produc- tion and distribution. Official action Is Imperative. ,the . committee finds, such ns will bring the price of tho most vital food within the reach of those now deprived of It because ot Its high cost. Problem a National One. As New York city draws Its milk suivily from five different States, ns well as from the Dominion of Canada, the committee looks upon the problem as a national one and expresses the opinion that It should recelvo the attention of Congress, stating that \cheap milk at tho farms demands 'cheaper food for cattle, and Interstate regulation and con trol will assist materially In tho final solution of nil the problems relating to milk with which New York city must deal.\ It is stated, however, that as na tlonal matters aro beyond tho commit- tee's Jurisdiction, It Is unnecessary to go Into details. Tho committee would give wldo Juris diction to the State board It recommends to control completely the fitnto dairy Industry, and to promote and dovelop dairy resources as well ns to Improve conditions. It would be empowered to Investigate methods and figures arrived nt by producers and distributors In fix Ing prices, and fix what Is considered a reasonable price on Its own Initiative If the ones submitted aro deemed unfair or show an unreasonable margin of profit. Manufactured products nlso would be regulated by the commission. Producers of milk would be required to report tho disposition ot all milk produced, setting forth the names of stations at which de- livered, with the price and declaration as to whether the milk was sold for fluid or What I Have Learned About Bringing Up Children Bernarr Macfadden tells you how his four girl babies nro being brought up why they do not have \children's ai- lments\ what Bystcm ho usc3 to make these four girls strong, rugged and beautiful specimens of childhood.

As I stood, with other tardy ones, in the back of the huge darkened theatre, waiting to be seated-sA- t thc-prolog- end, I was gripped at once by the familiar magnificent sonority of Hampden's (powerful voice. The lines came rich and dis- tinct though the stage seemed far away in the dim lighting of a Flanders village setting. I began to sense a thrill coming and that I was about to hear and see something outside of my usual experience at play opera. Perhaps was the strange searching melancholy of Grieg's immortal \Ase's Todt,\ played by a wonderful orchestra, led by our famous Henry Hadley. It may have been the eager and almost reverential expec- tancy in the faces of those about me in an audience of thousands. At any rate, from the time the great curtain opened, on one of the largest stages I have ever seen, I forgot about Hampden and being thrilled, even that I was in a theatre. Here was something that took me outside of myself. Old memories of names of ancient peoples, characters, places, came surging back to me, and I became a boy again in an old white church. The pages of an almost forgotten mental picture book became real and were re-liv- ed for me. Picture after picture unfolded.
