BAD SEASON FOR SONG WRITER'S.
Fewer Big Successes This Year, Says the
Music Publisher.

'The present season has been excep-
tionally barren of song hits, " said a music
publisher the other night. "Of course
there are plenty of popular songs on the
market Just now, but few have been big
successes. The cause, perhaps, is the fact
that the public's taste for musical shows
seems to be on the decline. While this sort
of entertainment was on the top wave
composers had plenty of opportunity to
introduce their works, Now, however,
they must depend in a measure on vaude-
vile artists to sing their songs The
vaudeville performers, realizing this, de-
mand a certain sum as pay. Only in eX-
treme cases do the publishers or composers
give up. Some publishers rather than
pay performers have devised singing acts
Of their own. In this way they are sure
to have their songs heard, at the same
time drawing a revenue from the act.
Simple rustic ballads are in demand
Just now, but the melody and lyrics must be
exceptionally good to attract attention.
Irish march songs are popular. The fash
ion in SUI CHI songs began with 'Bedelia.'
Indian songs are dead. yet we've got to
publish them TO me ct the wishes of some
vaude vile artist who may desire to intro
duce one in his turn. Father songs re-

comic song with the same title. Although
the ditty was extremely popular it did no.
sell as we'll as some ballads of which the
public hears less.
Descriptive ballads have gone out, and
are not likely to come into popularity again
unless some enterprising publisher or per-
former can devise an idea to pop ularize
them. When the moving slides or illustrated
song scheme was in fashion these songs
had a show. Light, airy waltz songs such
originally introduced by Lillian Russell, arr
popular. Songs of sentiment are always
salable, especially If the title is attractive
and the music catchy. It's hard to pre-
dict anything about coon songs. There is
one writer who has been able to make such
songs pay. He turns out one each = ason,
and makes them popular. Other writer's
have failed with similar material"

OPPOSES WOMEN SINGERS.
Bishop Calls Them an Abomination-Some
Hymns LudicrOus, He Says.

Some OF the recent u~tteranoes Of the
Episcopal Bishop Coadjutor Of Spring
field, III have stirred up a good deal Of
feeling. In the course Of his first address
the Bishop expressed himself very pointedly
in regard to choirs and music.
Here said he, Il must confess that /

to find 30 many places. nine In all, where
women and girls appear in church In the
dress OF men and boys. To me it 10 a very
unpleasant sight, even though 1t may be
picturesquely pretty. The thing Is wrong
in itself.

Scripture The woman shall not wear

shall a man put on a woman's garments.

understand how with such words before
us the custom Of which we speak could be
introduced.
AN abomination to the Lord In His wi

1t Is contrary to all ecclesiastical propriety,
1t is an invention of u%nthinking Protestant

Another thing we might well spare Is
the custom of universal and often tire
some professional and occasional hymns.
A procession as an act of worship has its
place in the service of the sanctuary where
there is a proper choir to carry it out.

times be a help in beginning a service,

The current issue Of the University of Penn

Of free for al athletics in college. Tho
letter is a study OF the situation at the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania, in the light OF a
recent article in the Philadelphia Press on
college Athletics and Gate Money This
article was a protest against the general
practice in the colleges OF restricting the use
Of athletic fields to members OF varsity or
class team squads. while the services Of
coaches and trainers as well as the use OF the
athletic equipment and grounds are withheld
from the general student body.
In taking up this matter OF more general
participation in athletics and the opening
Of opportunities for physical development,
through outdoor sport, to the students who
are neither members OF teams nor candidates
for places on them. the Pennsylvania people
are following in the footsteps OF their friend
the enemy. Harvard. The Harvard Bulletin
recently printed a long article urging that
something be done by way OF throwing the
athletic opportunities within the control OF
the university open to the entire undergradu-
ate community.
The University OF Pennsylvania has for
some time been requiring physical exercise
from all students. but this has hitherto been
gymnasium work entirely. Now. however.
the athletic association has offered the use OF
every facility belonging to It FOR developing
the ability Of any student In any direction
selected By him. PannaxkyAniA n tbs nzst
