Stone's new manuscript, "Devil Take
| a Whittier,” with Carol Stone,
;in the leading role. It will be
brought to Broadway this fall.
Libby Holman, the blues singer,
opened her new musical, “Best of
Friends,” in the Boston Summer
Theater to a sell-out audience of
$8,000 on the week, moved it to
Cambridge, Mass., the next week
where it played to standing room,
and then began preparing it for an
early opening on Broadway.
Summer stock is a recruiting
'ground, too. for new actors and
j actresses. Ambitious players find
Mhe summer theater door much
! easier to crasfl than the Broadway
1 stage door. Actors’ Equity reports
1 that 177 new actors and actresses
i enrolled from the summer theaters i
I during July and the first two weeks
'of August.
j up .Mgiiujcam discovery oi sum-]
i mer theater producers is that audi-!
ences viewing a honeysuckle stage
will relish plays revived with tender
direction from the past. Helen
Hayes, appearing with her lovely
young daughter, Mary MacArthur,
tn the latter's stage debut, has been
playing Sir James M. Barrie’s
"Ahce-Sit-by-the-Fire” This play
undoubtedly never would succeed
before sophisticated Broadway au
diences today but it has been a
sell-out hit in the summer theater
before the same people who make
up those quote sophisticated Broad
way audiences unquote period.
At Berkshire Playhouse in Stock
bridge. Mass., Muriel Kirkland has
been appearing with success in Bar
rie’s “What Every Woman Knows.”
and at the Paper Mill Playhouse in
Millburn, N. J.. there have been suc
cessful revivals of Broadway hit
musicals.
The summer theater is branching
out into education, too. As an ex
ample, consider the Lake Tarleton
Theater at Pike, N. H. In one tfeek
recently they played the comedy,
"Three Men on a Horse.” at nights,
presented Concert Pianist Roger
Vaughan at one matinee and at
another matinee presented Prof.
Gordon Ferris Hull of Dartmouth
University speaking on ‘‘Atomic
Bombs and Energy.”

L. A. Potter Takes
New Music Post
Louis A. Potter, for 18 years minis
ter of music at the Calvary Metho
dist Church has resigned his posi
tion to assume the post of organist
and choirmaster of the Metropolitan
Methodist Church, Nebraska and
Mexico avenue N.W. He will begin
his duties September 1 at the 11
o'clock service. As medium of ex
pression for the music of the serv
ices he will have a three manual
Skinner organ, a solo quartet and a
large chorus choir.
The first rehearsal of the choir
will be Thursday, September 12 in
the church at 7:30 p.m. Singers in
the neighborhood or elsewhere not
committed to other choirs are in
vited to join.
Jewish Music Fete
Plans Expanded
The Jewish Music Council spon
sored by the National Jewish Wel
fare Board, will hold a Jewish Music
Festival February 7 through March
S, 1947, extending its program to
four weeks, instead of the one week
as in previous years. All groups in
terested in Jewish music are in
vited to plan accordingly.
This will be the third annual event:
throughout the country, and accord-]
ing to the organization, which rep
resents 32 national Jewish groups,
will enable synagogues, schools, clubs,
community centers and civic groups
to give greater variety to their pro
grams and a more inclusive schedule
of musical activities than heretofore.

wealth, from ignorance to education,
from dictatorship to government “by
the people,” which no nation has
ever accomplished in a century.
In Japan we are doing this by the
process of dictation ourselves. We
are requiring the Japanese to adopt
the democratic form of government.
But Japan is only one of the minor
countries. It is one of only 70 mil
lions of people, and it is closely con
fined to a small group of islands.
China is a great sprawling mass of
empire with a populaton of 450.000
000. and that is only one of many
countries bordering Soviet Russia.
In the effort to stop Russia we have
gone nearer to her than she has
come to us.
We can get into war trying to pro
tect the nations on Russia’s bor
ders from aggression, but we cannot
improve the welfare of any of them
by doing so. Nor can we benefit
ourselves. Though there are many
things we do not like about the
Soviet Union we have got to get
along with it unless it in fact be
comes a menace to us. We once re
garded the British as irreconcilable
enemies. The Russians are no fools;
no people are. Nor are they all
knaves; no people are that. Hie
great problem which mankind has
to solve is not the next war but
war itself, and we, in assuming the
“leadership of the world,” should
begin by recognizing that fact.

China’s Music
| May Hold Key
To New Era
Philosophy of Art
Discussed Anent
United Nations Week
By Elena de Soyn
In the Nation-wide observance of
United Nations Week set for Sep
tember 22-28. music will play an
important part. Sponsored bv 85
organizations, the activities will be
focused at Rockefeller Center, New
York, where concerts of Interna
tional music will be a part of a
varied program
Of all the United Nations, music
of China and its background are
least understood of any, and, there
fore. her contribution*to it, of sig
nificance today, is not duly ap
preciated. It is China, who. pos
sibly, holds at this time the key
to the postwar renaissance of melody,
the art and science of the writing
of w'hich her scholars developed cen
turies ago to a degree unmatched
by any other country.
Western musicians and teachers
who are spreading their culture in
China now, agree that the Chinese
have a remarkable sense of music,
which tallies with what is known
of her past achievement. Alexan
der Tcherepnine, noted Russian
composer, claims that rhythm Is
closely related to the life and work
of the Chinese people who seize
; every opportunity to produce a
rhythmic sound. He was amazed
by its precision, variety and in
genuity even with workers striking
a gong or using a hammer. He be
lieves that the people's inborn
musical instinct is continually seek
ing a manifestation even if it is
expressed in noise.
A a • __
\ vmumn Wild .TIIMir.
More than 2,500 years ago, in the
teachings of Confucius, Is found
already a reference to the power of
music, which made him lose the
taste of meat, so goes the legend.
It was he who coined the say
ing that "music has the power to
make the whole world kin,” a phrase
which has gained so much signifi
cance of late. Coming from a
country considered to have re
mained far behind in musical de
velopment. according to western
ideas, it is the more surprising to
learn that China was possibly the
first to have had a "Bureau of
Music, a Department of Board of
Rites,” organized and maintained
by the state to "study the princi
ples of harmony and melody, to
compose musical pieces and to form
instruments proper to play them.”
Although music was connected
with rituals and w7as encouraged
and subsidized by the government to
bring about political order, it was in
tended also as a strong agent for
the good of the people, as a means
for moral and spiritual uplift and
not as an amusement. The place
of honor reserved for it in the
Chinese mind and the rules for
performers, as put down by Wu
Ch’eng in the 13th century, are in
sympathy with our own views and
ideals today. He emphasized the
need of a reverential state of mind
when making music, of comprehend
ing the meaning underlying each
composition, and the understand
ing of the sentiments and motives
which guided the composer.
It is in the Chinese symbols that lies
buried the secret, the application of
which rules the movements of a per
fect song. While the science of writ
ing a melody was left to the intuition
of the individual in the west. China
developed this art through ren
ituries, with Shen-Yo bringing it to
the point of highest perfection in
the fourth century A.D. His design,
form, symmetry, balance and line
unequaled even by great European
masters, entitle him to a place in
the field of melody as important
as that occupied by Bach in the
Occidental art of harmony and
counterpoint. Based upon a system
which could be applied universally,
his melodies are deeply involved
and constitute a rich, as yet
unexploited source of complete
knowledge.
nnnrDi music n
Handicapped by the type of
musical notation in China, western
composers have not made much
progress as yet in touching -upon
the most important material which
survived the vicissitudes of time.
Closely entwined with the lute,
known to have existed in the begin
ning of the Shang dynasty <1766
1122 B.C.) Chinese musical notation
Is very complicated. In a perpen
dicular form, with no distinction of
keys, its 200 characters, represent
ing music as well as compound
rules, or abbreviations of same, for
the use of fingers, timbre, vibrancy
tempo, dynamics and expression,
th“ system is far from being practi
cal for general use. It is said that a
native scholar spends sometimes
two or three years to puzzle out
and to learn one tune.
Tlie ancient art of Chinese per
formers, practiced by a minority
today, has nothing in common with
the noisy element produced on the
streets or in the theaters, corre
sponding to the present day jazz in
the West. Those who heard accom
plished performers claim that the
type of music they make is one of
tlie most satisfying. Emanating from
the mind and directed by thought,
the player is supposed to translate
emotions into sound, in accordance
with the Chinese saying that It is
the mind, not the sound, that makes
music. When thrilled by a super
lative interpreter this view may be
fully appreciated these days.
Introduced via Japan in the past,
western culture found its way to
China after the revolution without
reserve. Occidental musical educa
tion was brought into all government
middle schools. Shangai has had a
national conservatory of music since
1927, which is subsidized by the gov
ernment and forms the center of
national musical education. It was
founded by Dr. Hsiao Yui-mei, who
was educated in the Leipzig Uni
versity and under Emil Pauer, Rle
mann and Reger.
At present there is a great demand
for patriotic songs in China. New
words have been written t<*. those of
old and tunes have taken on new
vigor and expression.
