OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MUSIC.
hHRIaXn;;zafg

The question of the advisabiity OF vaude-
vile, the necessity therefor and the ultimate
result thereof has been occupying much
space in the dramatic journals and has now
found its way into the magazines.
From dramatic standpoint there is much
to be said. Many people asserted, with a
conviction of much vgor, that it would only
be a short time ere vaudeville had so de-
generated that 1t would no longer be at
traCtive.
The opposite has been proved The vaude-
Vile managers have boldly dared to go into
the ranks of the legitimate and, seizing some
OF the choicest stars, have planted them in
new hemisphere. That hemisphere has
been illumined, OF course, by the advent OF
the legitimate actors and actresses, and the
vaudeville stage has increased in dignity. II
is likely now that the stage will gravitate
up instead OF down, for the latest departure
is the securing OF well known operate
artists.
What is the vaudeville stage doing for
music? At first thought it would seem that
the cause of music was receiving no impulse
artwards. There is certainly nothing elevat-
ing in coon shouts rag time lyrics nor red
whiskered Irish barrentones. But yet when
the very best music is given in contrast
there is some educational worth.
And right here comes a question Many
OF Mr.. Belstedt's warmest admirers have
criticised him severely for playing Pop
Goes the Weasel" for an encore TO "De
Walkure," and Where Did You Get that
Hat?" as a dessert for the Second Rhap-
! sody" of Liszt.
Should this be done? Mr.. Sellstedt has
ideas Of his own on this point and there is
| much in what he says. People will perhaps
be more inclined to hear a program OF sew
eral numbers II they are alternated with a
! little efteryescence. Few people can Absorb
! eight big numbers one after the other. But
| speaking fairly from a good view of both
sides OF the case, it might be better II Mr.
Delestedt could arrange to let the peopl,
| down gradually. 1t Is, after all, a consider,
able distance from "Walhalla" to a hal
! store.
Let It be noted however, thai this popular
bandmaster is a careful planner a good en-
! tcrtainer and splendid educator, from
musical standpoint, and he does in musi
what the vaudeville stage is doing in tht
theatrical line. His concerts are more or les

musical vaudevilles In other words there
is always something for every one. Hence
his success.
1t appears from this that the vaudeville
spirit is on the increase, and the hope Is
that 1t may prosper. Artists have proved
that travelling opera companies in this coun-
try arc a failure, unless they are OF very,
very light character. 1t is, then. a question
OF to have or not to have The artist says:
IL cannot afford to lose any more money"
The manager says; IL cannot afford TO

do not want grand opera" And there you
are. We must fcrego all the grand arIas,
the perfection OF vocalization the oppor-
tunity OF hearing great singers Then the
vaudeville manager enters the field and says:
mo, | will give you these things The
people go to hear new rag time song, see
little comedy or watch the mysterious
acrohatlc powers of some talented master
OF dexterity. incidentally, they hear some
OF the very best music. Perhaps it bores
them at frst but soon they will listen to
It, They will even enjoy it after a time an i
will create, subsequently, market for 1t.
So that later on, when vaudeville has
folded its hands and laid itself down
to rest 1t will have done good
thing in that through its operation the appe-
tite for legitimate music, as well as legiti-
mate acting. has been aroused in some peo.
pie and the grand opera companies will
come and go, and they will make money,
even IL they are American,

musical taste to some extent, and will con.

be relied upon. and the musical atmosphere

Method of selecting Judges.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is as true to-day as it was in the days
of Solomon that the hearts of men are set
on mischief because sentence against evil
doing is not executed speedily; but why it
is not is one of the gravest questions of this
or any other period. In the Journal of this
morning you say it is because the courts are
lax, but back of that lies the question, why
are they lax? 1t ought not it does not re-
quire much thinking to see why. When we
notice the greater firmness of the United
States court in dealing with law violators
it needs no argument to show that the diff
ference is in the character of the courts.
That difference is not in the ability OF the
respective officers, for they are all taken
from the same grade of citizens but in the
simple fact that federal judge is not de-
pendent upon the men whom he is to try for
his Office. They neither gave it to him nor
can they take 1t away, and the same is true
of the attorney who is to represent the peo-
pie.
Possibly there may be something in the
Governor suggestion to make counties re-
sponsible for deaths from lynching, but /
do not believe a word of it. 1t means TO
mulct the taxpayer in damages for offenses
he cannot help and for the prevention of
which he is already taxed II seems to me
