They say that the answer to this question
depends not only upon the rate of money
IN this country at the time the loan IS

They point TO the fact that large

amount Of the German short-tirne loans

to his incidental music In the music
to 'Ben Hur," written by Edgar Still
man Kelley, there is much that is of the
greatest credit to this very clever Amerl-
can composer, whose essays in Chinese
music and his song The Lady Picking
Mulberries' in the pentatonic scale are
well known. There is a wealth of in
cidental music in Ben Fiur," descriptive
and emotional, and Mr.. Keley's intent
10 have the music carry one logically
along with the play shows high ideals
and the result on the whole is impress
sive. Wherein MIR. keLey's music fails
is in the monotonous effect which re-
suits from too great an effort to give
archaic Oriental effects. This may rep
resent much research and skill but it is
carried too far and to modern ears is
tame and tuneless. In his descriptive
music Mr. kelley's success is more in the
line Of what is expected in these days
when strilIingly high colored program
music and Warnerian lett motive are
household acquaintance. The music OF
ben Hur" represents step forward so
far as the theater goes, and is in the
spirit of the best composers, who as
was the case with List at Weimar, be-
lieved iii uplifting the drama with IN
cidental music and in banishing the
banalides that are term of reproach
as ''theater music"
