 One day her ward. Rawker, comes to Mrs. Zellner's home for Cloris while she is taking lesson. He meets Hoi- mar, becomes interested in the boy and plans to give a fashionable concert in which Helmar shall appear. The scene shifts and the home of Rawker is shown. Years before the story opens Rawker married beautiful Ger man opera singer and to them child was born. Then the wife loses her and her beauty fades and she is deserted by her husband who leaves her and her baby to their fate. Of course, Helmar is this child, now grown to be a man. Helmar comes to Rawk- CTS home to arrange the details of the concert. f.
 Rawker discovers that Helmar and Cloris are in love. and he sets to work to part them for he has planned that cloris shall marry an English lord. Through some trivial circum- stance Rawker orders Helmar's name stricken from the list of artists to Ap- pear at the concert and. calmly tells the boy SO. It is the chance he has waited for all his life. and it is swept away because of the caprice of this
 
 nations, Helmar has gained the knowl- edge that Rawker is his father. and when the millionaire tells him he is not to play at the concert, Helmar turns on him with the truth, backed up by the bitterness and pent-up anger of years.
 He faces the stern. unfeeling man of finance, and figuratively forces him to his knees. He demands that he play at the concert, and he does play, to step into fame in single night. Then come the final sceaes of the play in which the father looks back into the past and almost feels a throb of his cold heart.
 But the son feels none of this. He has proved that his mother was hon. orably married. and he Is content. He spurns the father and is ready to face the world alone. But at the last, in one of the prettiest, most graceful and most apealing situations. he and the girl of his heart are brought together.

 The main events of "The Magic Mel ody" are woven about a young German vioIinist named Helmar. He lives at the home of loveable old German woman named Mrs. Zellner. He makes his living playing his violin at the cheap concert halls in New York city, but is living for the time when he shall become known as a famous viol- mist.
