ARTIST WILL DEVELOP
NEW COLOR HARMONIES
Mary Hallock Green^walt Strives
for New Affinity of
Expression.
Considerable has been written jh
recent years of the affinity existing
between color harmonies and the
tone harmonies* of music. '
The tremendous possibilities of this
n*>w science are now being developed
and classified bjr Mary Hallock
Greenewalt. a Thiladelphian of Ori
ental and English ancestry.
Peculiarly fitted by racial inherit
ance to arranging In concrete form
this subtle and modern discovery.
Mme. Greenwalt'a achievements along
these lines have attracted the atten
tion of many scientists of our time.
The day is rapidly approaching
when one may ask for an orchid pink
nocturne or a purple overture with
out being haled off to an asylum.
As a basis for the foundational
theories of color harmony in relation
to music, one has only to refer to
the color schemed of nature in rela
tion to the mind of man.
Just as surely as the light, happier
moods of the individual are brought
out by the brightness of sunlight,
and depression emphasized by the
darkness of night or storm, so is the
Inner spirit of music enhanced im
measurably by an accompaniment of
color.
The climax of Mme. Greenewalt'a
researches has been reached in the
perfecting of an organ, operated by
pedals, by which the color expression
can be controlled at will.
A surprising number o? beautiful
effects may be obtained by this silent
instrument of light.
Further developments of the kind
include patents which arrange for
the supplying of player-pianos and
phonographs with the same exquisite

PROVES CHURCHES
HELPED IN WAR
Musical Entertainment, "The
Wayfarer," Offered as
Evidence.
An interesting musical writer says:
It is a long way from the Christmas
cantata they used to give in the Sun
day school of the church back home
to "The Wayfarer," which was offer
ed as a church entertainment in
Madison Squara Garden. The differ
ence was as fcreat probably as. say,
that between the morality plays of
early England and the Passion Play
at Oberainmergau.
"The Wayfarer" is intended to be
tlje answer of \the Church to the
charge that the war just closed is
proof that the Church has failed In
the world's hour of need. First pro
duced last summer at the Methodist
convention in Colutnbuir, Ohio, It has
been brought to New York in much
the same form and is being produced
under the ausgices. of the Interchurch
World Movemeht. Briefly,,the Way
farer Is a composite picture of you
and I and the rest of us, heartsick and
weary over the years of bloodshed
and piliagn^He asks himself if the
great cataclysm predicted in Revela
tion is not at hand, if the war is not
a symbol of the approaching "end of
the world." The Wayfarer's sick
fancy is encouraged by Despair, who
leads him to a battlefield in Flanders,
shows him a violated village and
urges him to forsake all faith. Put
before Wayfarer can yield Under
standing comes and offers to prove
to'turn that Chriit is a living force
In the world.
Follows then a series of episodes,
beginning with the rivers of Babylon,
where the chosen people, suffering un
ier the rule of the oppressors, see
their faith rewarded by renewed hope
In the coming of the Messiah. Next
the Wayfarer Is exalted by the birth
sf Christ and the demonstration of
his power through the healing of the
blind and the lame, only to fall again
Into the clutches ot Despair when
Jesus ia crucified. Then come the
Resurrection and the final episode that
depicts the nations of the world as
sembling their flags under the banner
of the Lord. .
The producers of "The Wayfarer"
frankly admit that it I* neither
drama, pageant nor otfera. Neither
do they claim any great amount of
originality for it, having borrowed
freely from drama, pageant and opera
with the sole purpose of telling a
story. As a whole they have* told the
story well. Few spectacles seen fur
ther up town where the lights are
brighter can compare with "The Way
farer" in the magniflcance of the
scenery, the brilliance and the beauty
of the lighting effects and the richness
of the costuming. It is a hardened
slnber indeed who cannot feel the
urge of such music as "Holy Night," :
Verdi's "Praise Ye," the "Hallelujah 1
Chorus" and similar selections. Nor
waa all Of the music borrowed, sev
eral of, the Selections belpg the credit
able 'Work or Henry Hadlef, under
whose direction, by the way, a large
orcheatra played magnificently. The
immense chorus, said to comprise 3,000
voices, probably will improve with a
IVtle more practice.
URGES ENCOURAGEMENT
OF YOUNG COMPOSERS
John Alien Carpenter Believes Noted
Orchestras Should Try
Their Scores.
/ - ?r ,
John Aldrn Carpenter, whilta? won
his spur as one of America's leading
song composers and is now devotinsi
himself to work with the ballet of
tht> Chicago Opera Company, has re
cently made an appeal for encourage
rnent to his young compatriots crea
tively gifted, stating that: "If the
leading symphony orchestras would
devote say' one morning each monfli
to the reading of new scores by young
composers, who would not otherwise
have such an opportunity, the stimu
lating effect would be beyond calcu
lation."
This appeal has been responded to,
at least In part, by Arthur Bodanzky.
conductor of the New Symphony Or
chestra, who has agreed to give ovtr
a series of six rehearsal periods in
April to the works of promising uu
knowns.
There are doubtless mafiy woft'*.
whlle scores laid away on du.-i1
shelves which may now reach the
public car. and the young compos^ r
Is to be congratulated upon the op
portunity afforded.
Mr. Bodanzky "has made public n
partial list of those who have be mi
invited to become members of the I
committee which will sit in judgment
on the orchestral compositions sub- j
mitted. The litfl includes: Franz

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.?Disintegrat

public will one day recognise it, said
Gov. James P: Goodrich, of Indiana,
in a speech before the New England
Society in lirooklyn last night.
,* "If the packing companies as now
organised can put on the dining table
of the American consumer foodstuffs
cheaper than any competitor, they
should be allowed to do so," said
Goodrich. ' The Cheaper the beter."
Goodrich asserted the disintegration
of the Standard Oil Company a few

by Secretary of the Treasury Glass in
a letter to Chairman Fordney of the
House Ways and Mentis Committee.
"Although the shortage of food In
Europe as a whole is less this winter

"The death rate caused by starva
