NOW THE TALK IS OF MUSIC
WELL TESTED BROMIDES FOR USE
AT WINTER DINNERS

Snort Cuts to SucCess On q Critic ,Sf opera
and Musical ArtlGts-Thlnga Easy 90
q I'M Certain to Impress IHouR
Hearers with Your Own EknGuaedges
This 10 the winter season. and the talk
Of the gay world In therefore Of music.
Motor talk rs the summer diversion OF
dinner parties. but now il is TO the opera
and music that the thoughts Of intellectual
diners turn.
A subscription Of one .season co. the Nam
haitian or the Metropolitan will turn a man
or a woman into a qualified music critic.
Even those who go only once a week T
o able to discuss with the authority OF
veterans whether or not the tenor 10, in
rood voice, IL the soprano Ia singing in tune.
and whistler or not the new mezzO takes
her upper tones correctly. This they do
with a greater certEinty than they would
pass upon the advantages Of a Carbureter
or the merits OF a tire.
81 don't pretend to know anything about
music" used to be- the formula in the good
old days before there was a critic in every
seat in every concert hall n opera house;
but | know what suits me. and l would
rather hear Schumann-He ink than Emma
Eames sing Ave Maria II seems TO me
that Schumann-H eink has more voice.
That one Of the ladies' Ia a contralto and
the other a soprano never affects the judg-
ment Of these critics.
~Farrar may be a great singer In a
familiar remark nowadays. but 1 think
Cavalieri is the greatest actress 1 ever Jaw.
And who was it that a v her the diamond
tiara?"
Then there are the pianistic bromides
that are invaluable TO persons bent on dis
tinguishing themselves In the musical n
of a dinner table conversation. One OF the
most popular and guaranteed to produce
an effect Of experience and superior knowl-
edge is as follows:
aDon't you think that Josef Holman
plays with a great lei more feeling since
he was married? It only needed love for
him to realize what tenderness in his play
ing was
The superior advantage Of this observa-
ton lies In its varied implications. The
woman who utters IL shows a. that she
has heard Holman in h past; (2) that
she knows he is married. and 90 that she
knew that he did not formerly have feeling,
but has il now.
Almost as striking in the instrumental
field is the following:
~Of course there is no question OF
Kubelik's technique. but Kreisler's play
ing is 30 much more musical"
Apart from the inherent impressive
ness lying always in the use OF h word
technique. there is also implied here the
ability to discover that a player is musical.
The average dinner talker believes that
anybody playing an instrument. from a
jewsharp 10 a piano, must be musical. and
the suggestion that such a big bug as
Kubelik should not be 80 musical al some
body else puts him to confusion and in
cidentally creates the greatest respect for
the speaker with 80 much discernment.

Unwittingly aixty-hve boys n girls

uvs TO illustrate the ambitions Of the men,

by this teacher for a composition exsrciOe.
IL was 10 be short. Fifteen minutes was
allotted in which to complete the task. A
short time for minds less than nin9 years old.
No preparation was allowed In advance.

citation with the homo and the mother

II she will not help me 1 will have my man

turn my back and 1 will not cook him supper
II he comes home I will left himf for a job
Here is a child who tells her teacher that
she Intends to stick 10 single blessedness
and gives in the second sentence the reason
for the whole decision: II will never have
no man to beat me-"
Can you imagine what the home life Of this
youngster is? Can you not read in the
few words Of the composition Of a husband
who had been hailed to a police court. who
had pleaded with his wife to be lenient with
him. and OF the wife and mother returning
20 the home from the court room to prepare
a good warm supper for the man who had
beaten herr ~,
The teacher who drew this tale from the
pupil thinks that il il true. h is sure
this little ones father is a wife heater. or
that there is one in close proximity TO the
home Of the literary little lady.
And when she causes to look up the
record of this particular student she ascer-
tains that in VI work as requires home
study the pupil is wofully deficient. but
in class work where oral instruction is
given she is above the average. Her on
clusion is that the environment Of her
charge is not such a would develop the

remark with absolute confidence Of maxi
ing a hit that Paderewad pounded last
week In the Ligzt number. This should
DO followed up by something OF the fpl-
lowing rather light and casual character:
while l must say the Chopin was heauti-
ful, l cannot gst over my admiration for
Paohmann when he plays Chopin
Convincing AZ these observations are,
IL Il; dangerous to finish than with IN
such query as Don't you?%tor anything
seeming 20 seek an opinion in return. This
sounds arrogant and is rubbing it In when
tho bearer is already suficiehtiy impressed.
Orchestral comments are naturally in
order when there are 80 many of these
concerts 20 be heard. and it may not be
amiss to repeat some that have been found
70 do well and are. assured of a certain
impressiveness IL delivered in the right
tone. None Of these observations, how
ever they may have been proved by the
test Of time. will ave its due effect with
mi the appropriate manner Of delivery.
Authoritative and even OF Cathedra should
be the tone Of those desiring to be most
successful. This kind of thing sounds well
20 those for whom IL is not too initiated:
~of course the Boston Symphony does
play wonderfully. But you know 1 some
how like the wonderful vigor OF the Phil
harmonic even IL II In not 80 very polished
In the same line and moderately sure to
hit the mark IL the following:
"Safonod without a bator accomplishes
just as much as half the men 1 have seen
with a stick. What is his object. do you
suppose. in not using a baton?"
Continuing along the same lines are the
following remarks for those who are inter-
ested in making the musical conversation
for dinner:
"Damrdsch certainly does arrange at
trnctive programmes. don't you think"
do you suppose Muck will really 20 back
to Berlin K yearP Then what will the
Boston Symphony do?"
Isn't il ridiculous TO close up the Sym
phony concerts on Sundayl'
In spite Of the usefulness Of these com-
ments on Orchestras and musicians 1t is
really the operas that provide the most
inspiring dinner table themes. The follow
ing can be recommended as indicating some
considerable information on the part Of the
speakers:
do you suppose hat Emma Eames win
