You cannot stop the tide; but, now and then, You may arrest some rash adven- turer Who-h'n-will hardly thank you for your pains. -Vibart. Look Out Following in the footsteps of our illustrious frame, The Daily, we have made arrangements for members of the staff of the Pit to interview dif- ferent men connected with the Opera. We will start with that inimitable contemporary and second of Irving Berlin-A. J. Gornetzky. Forbearance, gentle reader, forbearance. 'Tis our painful, to you, duty. * * * TO PROCEED The scene is laid in the palatial apartment of this syndicate of syn- copation. After diving through piles of manuscript I found Gorny. "How do you, sir," I said. "And you are Mr. Gornetzky?" "I am," he answered. I knew it all the time. "Well, I came over here to find out what you thought of this year's Opera." "Yes," he answered. "And you really thing that it will be better than anything that was ever produced?" "Is that so?" "I imagine that you must have had a good deal of trouble with all the mu- sic you have written." "Ta, dum dum dum." "Is that so," I answered, dum- founded. And then I appreciated why he was called the second I. B. "But why haven't you ordered your machine from the proceeds of the Opera?" I continued. He concealed a yawn behind his exquisitely tapering nails. It is wonderful to observe the rhythm of a virtuoso's yawn. "Do you intend to enter into any occupation when you leave here, Mr. Gornetzky?" "Yes." "Do you mind if I ask what it will be?" "No." "And, speaking along this line - what do you think of the Pit?" ~Z-z-z-z-z-z." "Indeed?" And feeling that I had gotten all the information that was possible, I gathered up my stack of notes, and departed into the strange- ly contrasting silence of the night.

University Ave. r At the Majestic The Majestic returned to a straight vaudeville policy last night and the bill that is offered is certainly one from which types of every form of entertainment can be drawn. The famous Hanlon Brothers are headlining with an acrobatic pan- tomime sketch taken from their well known fantastic play "Superba," and their offering is entirely away from the usual acrobatic act in every way. Brooks and Bowen grabbed the hon- ors as laugh-producers and the droll fun-making of these comedians is of an original style that could not be more ably handled by one of the white race. There have been numerous animal acts at the Majestic this winter and some of them were excellent, indeed, but without the slightest doubt Tre- vitt's Dogs are the utmost in the way of animals. These blooded canines of- fer a military skit with an appropriate scenic setting, and the precision and accurateness with which they perform their military maneuvers is little short of wonderful, and the taking of the enemy at the finish of the act is a scream. Countess Van Dorman & Co. offer a high class musical act and her ren- dition of the several classical num- bers is indeed a rare treat to the popu- lar vaudeville patron. Dunn & Dean present a nifty little offering filled with bright, up-to-the- minute quips. A Stately Exit It seems incredible that an actor of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson's gifts and attainments should retire from the theater at the summit of his power, but he is not the man to "lag superfluous on the stage." He will make his fare- well appearance at the Whitney the- atre, Wednesday, March 22. His exit will be the stateliest part he has ever play and all who witness that final performance of 'Hamlet" will carry away with them the memory of the greatest prince the English stage has ever seen. It is nearly nineteen years since Forbes-Robertson produced "Hamlet" in London. Many good playgoers who feel that Forbes-Robertson is intellectually at his greatest in classical drama - in some dominating characters as Ham- let, Shylock, Othello, and Macbeth, to name only a few of his achievements -believe that he has lost something by excursions into modernhdrama. This is not so. The art of the actor should have no boundaries. That was the view of the old histrionics, among them Phelps, to whom Forbes-Robertson, who was his pupil, frankly confesses he "owes everything." Whatever the true and earnest act- or plays he dignifies. For 40 year Forbes-Robertson has filled a worthy place on the English stage, associated with the best art of his time, and play- ing with some of the greatest in his calling-Irving, Hare, the Bancrofts Modjeska, and Mary Anderson. ITI[ music COLUMN~ On Thursday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock a regular Faculty Twilight Re- cital will be given in Hill Auditorium under the auspices of the University School of Music, at which time a pro- gram of unusual excellence will be offered. The University School of Music String Quartet will be heard in an in- teresting quartet from the pen of the popular composer, Edward Grieg, which is very rarely performed, the reasons for which are not far to seek: it is rather long, and unreasonably difficult. In striving for sheer volume of tone, Grieg has here gone well be- yond the capacity of a string quartet, introducing double-stops, octaves and other similar devices in a manner which does not in the least conform to the spirit of this combination. Fur- (ermore, many of the rythmic schemes are bafflingly complex. It would have made a better symphony; but its mu- sical charm is more than sufficient to compensate for its formal shortcom- ings, and it is a veritable epitome of all the spontaneous utterances of the de- lightful Norseman in question. Albert Lockwood, head of the Piano department of the University School of Music, will appear in two groups of piano numbers, one at the beginning by Grieg, Liszt and Schumann-Tausig and the other group coming at the end of the program made up of Mozart, Scriebine and Balckireff numbers. The complete program is as follows: Ballade in form of variations on a Norwegian melody .. .........Grieg The Fountains of the Villa d'Este.Liszt Spanish Romance (Der Contra Ban- diste) ............Schumann-Tausig Albert Lockwood Quartet, Op. 27, G minor.......Grieg Un poco andante-Allegro molto ed agitato; Andantino-Allegro agitat; Allegro molto marcato; Lei to-Presto al Saltarello Mr. and Mrs. S.

Y.. March 13.-By defeat- ing Cornell in a closely fought game Thursday night, Princeton tied with Pennsylvania for the intercollegiate basketball championship. Although this was the last scheduled game of the season, an extra contest will be necessary to play off the tie. Haas, Princeton's star guard, was most con- spicuous among the Tiger players for his fast playing, and Princeton's spec- tacular fight during the second half was chiefly due to his work. With the score at the end of the first half 9-5 in favor of Cornell, Princeton made a brilliant drive in the last half, re- sulting in victory, 22 to 19.

RDHAM TO TRAIN VARSITY CREW; FIT OUT 15 MACHINES ew York, Mar. 13.-Fordham is to e a varsity crew, the first one at Bronx university. In previous rs, Fordham contented itself with rep and freshman boat. The de- on to have a varsity crew came as g surprise. Only last week Joseph JcAleenan and Charles A. Hatfield gned from the alumni athletic com- tee because of the failure to sanc- . a crew. It is expected now that body will reconsider its action. The didates for the team have had e experience, most of them serv- on the fresh and prep crews. Sim- neously with Coach Mulcahey's an- ncement 16 machines were fitted in the new crew room.
