12 THE WASHINGTON TIMES. THURSDAY, APRIL '24, 1919. fflffl L-Jiln wst TTTJ "! tJtaeHotTi bm.4 'niimn nmimiAr 1 Jiliro UUiHANbt i UW ,'jfc. lllltkMI MA A anBBABJK M g& WiKLLbSS MUSIC iW J ly ; I Chords and Records i Aeed Nominal Charge To Insure Permanency Of Community Opera By J. MacB. Washington, war, and war workers have brought about civic opera in the National Capital. The results are here three operas .ready for presentation and one in concert form but there is a lack in the civic scheme of things tp facilitate the development of any community enterprise. The Board of Education has granted permission for the use of Central High School auditorium for two perform ances of tcThe Bohemian Girl," Balfe's tuneful opera, for tomorrow and Saturday evenings, to be presented by the "Community Opera of Washington ' with Edouard Albion as director general and under the auspices of the War Camp Community Service. For Health and Happiness. The War Camp Community Service, as its same Implies, is for health and happiness, and thereby for highest ef ficiency for the community during the stress of war and Its present read justment. Washington has still a sur plus population of between 46,000 and 0,000 war workers, with a floating population of 40,000 service men who are stationed in and about the city. The inability to obtain any further lefinite concession, for "Pagliacci" and for "The Pirates of Penzance," is a huge handicap to results already per fected and which deeply concern the public "weal. The handicap is obvious. The situa tion is of public concern because of ihese many war workers a number of whom are in the operas even isido from the civic obligation to the residents of the Capital City of the satire United States. The limitations of the city loom high, also, when one finds out that these operas must be given free to the public. Not that that is not a highly commendable fact, at first glance. The ideal Is very beautiful. But experi ence has proven the plan one very difficult to handle. The Times' representative remem bers being almost crushed in an ef fort to obtain admission, for the pur pose of criticism, to the -oratorio of "The Messiah" when it was sung un der the same conditions by the Ora torio Society of Washington Jast win ter. Nor was the attempt successful. The war has brought about many changes in our idea of extension of public privileges. The incident noints out several facts that are worthy of consideration at this time: What is the public, but the school grown up? School funds are public funds. Precedents have been smashed In the successful prosecution of the war. Precedents must be established in the New Community Service. Oaght To "EToIute." Now the school buildings -must pri marily serve the purpose of the school; that is not the point at Issue. But they do servo the public, as well, and why cannot that service "evolute" to meet changing conditions? Washington's only auditorium, available for uncommercial endeavor of uplift and diversion, is hedged about by conditions that are proving detrimental to the continuance of such endeavor. No charge may be asked. No Invitation privileges may be guaranteed! This brings about a situation simi lar to that of the Oratorio Society, under Sydney Lloyd Wrlghtson. If tickets could be sold at 60 cents apiece which is the ideal arrange ment, and would liquidate expenses, with no commercial gain in both the case of the Community Opera and the Oratorio Society if tickets could be sold, it would Insure an equable dis tribution in the support of the en deavor. The support would be by the community. Instead of by a few. Mr. Wrlghtson says: "Why discrim inate? Why let some- be' unduly taxed, while others may contribute nothing?1' Mr. Wrlghtson cites, -as il lustration, that while his collection was over $600 for "The Messiah," less than $100 came from the gallery to which the public at large was admit ted, without card or invitation. "The public is becoming so 'sur feited with things for nothing, that they are becoming callous," Mr. Wrlghtson finds. And It Isn't doing the music lovers any good either," he added. Try To Assure Guarantee. The War Camp Community Service, by the distribution of 600 tickets to people who are personally interested in the welfare of the community opera, is trying to guarantee its ex penses. The general public aids and it is hoped will aid generously but this assurance must be provided for. Except for these 800 seats, tp b held until S o'clock. p,H tickets are but "reminders" and must come into the class of. "doors open to the general public" after "8 o'clock.

The in cident, which took place in the Firth of Forth, oft Scotland. Is related by Maurice Warner, an American vio linist and former pupil of Leopold Auer, who ha Jut received his dis charge from the United States navy. Stationed aboard the New York. Mr. Warner organised one of the best orchestraa In the navy aboard that ship, and It was with these men that the mustc-by-wlrelesa experi ment was tried. Seated close to the 'wireless telephono apparatus on their ship, the orchestra played a number of selections which were received on the 'United States steamship Arkan sas, anchored about two or three miles away. There the sounds wero magnified by a special device, with the result that they served as well for dance music as if a phonograph had been played close at hand. The music was also conveyed to other ships In the neighborhood. Admiral Rodman, whose flagship is the New York, is very musicsl and would often play duets with Warner. His instrument is a sort of ancient zither In which he frequently finds relief from his great responsibilities. Irving Kaufman met Irvlliff tfAUf man the other dy.

Local Music Notes By J. MacB. Out of an extended choral work, designed for the "stronger within our gates,' ' has come a project of interest to all Washington, and that is now in preparation under the Auspices of the War Camp Community Service. With Otto Torney Simon as director, the three choruses ho has recently organized the "Polymnia" of 125 women, tho "Apollo Glee Club," a male double octet, and the newly formed "Euterpe Chorus7 ' for male singers will combine in a program to be given in concert form as a memorial "In memory of tho men who have recently fallen in battle." , i" f A Y'l I With Words And That Ain't All . .- 90c Cherrio ,. . ....". . ..,i .... .t- ..... 90c Chong - ,. 90c Don't Care Blues '.90c Flower Garden Blues. : . . 90c Mammy of Mine.

The loss In efficiency is the thine to he guarded against Why cannot the high school grant the privilege of selling tickets, at a nominal price, to other organizations than the Fine Arts Society or the high school' operas? To both of these the privilege has been extended the past -winter. Why discriminate? Is it consistent? By not doing so the crowd endan gers the individual; the benefits are withheld from people who should be considered; and, humanly 'speaking, the people who give their time, labor and talents in these art-works are discouraged, and the art impulse of the community Is destroyed by the difficulties each fresh endeavor must encounter. Is it efficient? Is it progressive? Most Find Provision. In the future, for a future of Com munity art is the greatest guaran tee that has come out of this great war movement, some provision must be found. If the schools can consistently meet this demand, so much the bet ter. We have that plant. If not, does not the city feel called upon to act, and to act quickly? "In the new Community Service." says C. H. English, director of tho War Camp Community Service for Washington, "art will be the great expression of the people. In the past. civic recreation had to do chiefly with the physical, well-being of the citizen. Art in civic life is one of the many things born of the war. The arts have proven during the war, not a luxury fcut a necessity. War.'? he illustrated vlfldly.Is one great drama, in bring ing out the impulses of people. We In America, are not devastated, like Belgium, like France. So, the stim ulus of community service was our war service. That stimulus Is to survive." With so pressing a need, surely some existing rules might be waived, or readapted. If that is not feasible in this instance, then the nubile should look to it that any future plant, built for the public good, should contain an equal opportunity for service to its specific purpose, and a broader latitude for a greater good. O. J. De Moll wants to know "How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" Irving Berlin, with his usual grasp of a popular idea, has again been an opportunist. He puts into music the query every one is making, about our returning soldier boy: "What will ho want to do next?" The song is being sung by Byron G. Harlan on the "Aeolian-Vocalion." There Is an Interesting psychol ogy in the ever-charming "pop ular song." To win, it must give a reflection of what everyone is think ing. The musical comedy vatCa is pretty apt to tell you, and you can hear him tell you on the current rec ords of "canned" current thought. Each organization is now in sepa rate rehearsal on music that will ade quately expresr, in song, tho dignity of such a thought. It Is interesting to learn that many members of these organizations are becoming acquaint ed with this class of music for the first time. It is opening up Inspira tional music to an ever enlarging group, ana jar. Simon hopes to as semble a larger number before the lists must be closed to Insure a good rendition. The choruses now wi preparation Include choruses "from "The Messiah" of Handel, from tho oratorio of Men delssohn "St. Paul." and from the Verdi "Requiem." It is a program that will begin with broader choruses of Handel, followed by the gentlest appealing choruses of Mendelssohn, and ending with the devotional "Ag nus Dei" and 'Requiem" from the mass. The concert will be given as soon as the program has been sufficient ly rehearsed. The music is being studied with great interest by the members. Carl Droop was told about our "Music Points and 'Counter-Points"' and he suggested a "Chords and Rec ords" department. Here it is! Winton D. Levy, of Hecht's l'honi graph Shop of the Edison "Rc-Crca-tlons," believes in being an Index to the passing "musical comedy." He has discovered that the man who made that "brace-up" war song popular on the Columbia and. Victor records ''When you come back, and you will come back, there's a whole world waitin' for you," will be in Washington next week ' singing "La, La, Lucille" at the National Theater. He is George McFarlane. Debussy fell fearfully into debt dur ing his struggle years, but was able to clear himself by his later successes. Berlioz got a job as a chorus sincer In a cheap theater In order to keep body and soul together. In New York one reads announce ments of concert's featuring many artists of renown, all on the same program. It is an unusual opportun ity to compare them, particularly In their interpretive diversity. Such concerts have not been held very often in Washington, they "hap pen" because inventive genius has caught these artists and fixed their art in mechanical devices. The Ampico reproducing piano has a golden opportunity to do just that thing at its headquarters with the Arthur Jordan Piano Company. Homer L. Kltt, secretary and treas urer of this company, presented sev eral artists the other day in what turned out to be a "guesBing game." The record was played without the name of the artist being divulged. The hearers were sure it was Gabril owltsch. As a matter of fact, it wasn't. Then Mr. Kitt has some Leo Orn- r stein records. If this sensational artist does not fulfill his concert date in Washington, that was canceled because of illness, his individual genius may be appreciated through the Ampico. Delibes and his mother went to Paris entirely without resources, owing to the death of the father. He had a beautiful voice and almost sup ported his family by singing in the Church of the Madelaine. The newly formed "Euterpe Chorus" had Its first rehearsal Wednesday. April 16. In the rooms of the W. -C. C. S., 140S Pennsylvania avenue, and will hold rehearsals at 8 o'clock promptly each week on that evening. All men, tenors and basses, are in vited to join at once and to feel an individual and patriotic duty in fur thering this memorial concert. The secretary of the Euterpe is W. Ar thur Storm. Additional singers, altos and so pranos, will also be received by the Polymnia Society. Anyone, wishing to join should attend 'the next re hearsal on Monday evening at the Wilson Normal School. Eleventh and Harvard streets, at 7:45 p. m. The secretary is Mrs. Joseph Dunn. There will be a number of interest ing features developing in this con cert, one of which will be a special Invitation to the wives and mothers whose men have given their lives to their country. The personnel of the cast of "The Bohemian Girl" is of particular inter est to Washington this week. A glimpse of "Who's Who" In the Com munity Opera of Washington shows how cosmopolitan an organization it is. Edouard Albion, director general, lb an opera singer of experience, havine sung with the Canadian National Opera of Montreal, thus bringing a professional experience into .this com munity work. Peter W. Dykema, who has trained the chorus, comes from the University of Wisconsin, from which place his music work and his rausjc writings have made him a national figure in the music development of the country. Gretchen Hood, the leading soprano. has sung with the Aborn and the San Carlos opera companies. She is a Washington girl, and it was with the former company that she made a brll llnnt dbut in opera as Marguerite in "Faust." Bizet made "hack" piano arrange ments of orchestral pieces to eke out a living. hi IP '. tPZClAUSTS IM PLAYEH PtAfTOS ojjJeMOLL&co WasfiinAtoa-s ABOIiAN HALL Twelfth and G Street Steinvav nd Weber Ptmnolat 7Ke Aceion -lfecsfor0 irJ' Aeolian Vocalions Style n $115 Style "H" $175 T The Phonograph Supreme 0 enjoy phonograph music at its best you must play and hear the wonderful Aeolian Vocation the phonograph whose perfection is such that it invariably brings out all the hidden beauties of your records.

A glimpse Into the activities of this settlement center, where so much artistic as well as useful work is done, is a revelation in the uplift of a community. CURE WOUNDED BY IMCO-THERAPY The latest modern science thrust Into prominence by the war Is muslco- tnerap. which utilizes the curative powers of rhythm and harmony. Miss Margaret Anderton, who has been studying the healing forces of music since she was eight years old, has returned to New York from Can ada, where she has been practicing musico-therapy on tho wounded Ca nadian boys who have returned from the battlefields of France. She has been engaged by Columbia University to organize a class which she will instruct In her methods with a view to using the same successful treat ments to restore our own boys to health and vigor. Miss Anderton before the war had effected some big Improvements and even cures by her unusual treat ments. When the wounded soldiers began to return to Canada she felt the call to duty, and because she Is a loyal British subject, she left her mu sical work in New York and has been spending many months with the wounded and disabled men in the Ca nadian military hospitals. The stories that she tells of her work are inspiring as they are remark able. One of the most interesting cases of direct cure effected by music was the restoration of memory to a young captain suffering from aphasia. as a result of having been hurled Into the air and then buried-in the debris after the discharge of a high explo sive bomb. When Miss Anderton be gan her treatments her efforts seemed almost hopeless, but one day the spell was broken, the poor shocked mind came Into Its own,, and the cap tain for the first time since his In Jury remembered his name. Miss Anderton overcomes ortho pedic disabilities by exercises which produce pleasing sounds from some musical instrument, and so successful has she been that one of her patients who lost a foot is now earning his living playing a church pipe organ, using his false foot to operate the bass pedals.

He was opposed to the idea of my musical profession. It was my father wh invented the well-known polio which, later, I arranged for th pianoforte. Like other artists I have had many obstacles to face in ray career. But Z was fortunate enough to get the training I required at the conservatories of what we then call ed St. Petersburg and Moscow. "Though I have composed chiefly for the piano and for symphony or chestras, I have also written several operas and I havo been a theatrical conductor. My operas Include 'Aleko,' and two shorter works on Rusalaxr subjects, besides a setting of 'Fraa ccsca da Rimini. All have been pro duced. At present 1 am not compos ing anything.

The tea will be held In Rust Hall. 1150 North Caplttol street, April 25, from 3 to 10. The music in the afternoon will be given by some of Washington's leading artists. The Washington College of Music held one of Its regular "Students' Informal Recitals," on April 15, In which the following students were heard: William Gawler, Sylvia Luber: Genevieve Wagner, Bertha Comstock.

He has chosen brief ' poems to express the meaning of each sketch, and into his music he has put the value of nature with the ideality that the poet inserts, to 'interpret the earth in its most beautiful suggestion. Modern music, since Debussy., has painted the mystery of the out-of-doors.
