STUDY Of ACTORS,

Noted Pianist Explain S
Secret of Success in Emo

Mark Hambourg advises students Cf
the piano TO study the actor; not the
matinee idol with his immaculate
trouser creases. but the cider fash
ioned hero. who plays upon the en-
tions. You may limit grinding pra'-
tice at the keyboard to three hours h
day. in any case you must not give
more than four hours TO mechanical
work. but you cannot be great euo-
tional pianist, such as Hamburg him
self, undoubtedly, unless you study the
art OF defamation on the stage This
is the deduction of this fiery young
pianist's own experience.
"A point which. by the way, is often
missed by musicians" Hamburg saws.
is that music, being the expression OF
thoughts in sound. has its grammar, It's
punctuation, and It's syutaN, and, there
fore. requires the same means OF IL
depreciation as language. The conne1-
ton between music and language Is
indeed, much closer than people usually
imagine. Eor this reason 1 strongly rec

In undertaking new role strains every
nerve to make his Interpretation OF II
perfect He neglects nothing IN the
way Of contrasts. climaxes. pauses, en-
phases. and so on-each and ali Of which
play the emotions OF his audience Is
not the pianists an exactly parallel
case? He, too, must make his con-
trasts. his climaxes. his pauses, and his
emphases-in short, every movement
must be rendered with the emotion II
calls I'D"
Hamburg gave expression 10 these
opinions shortly after his engagement
was announced to Miss Dorothy Muir
Mackenzie. daughter Of SIR Kenneth

concert of the season, TO be given in
the New National Theater next Tues
day afternoon. at 4.J0 o'clock. Mr.. Fad

week the distinguished pianist has the
rather difficult task OF playing six
times IN six days, because he will be

At three of the concerts he will play
Becthoven's concerto, in l. fiat and
at the other three he will play Rubin
STEMS concerto in ID minor. IL Is this
latter work which ne will play IL
Washington. To all music lovers It is
well known as one of the most bril-
liant pieces OF its kind. Written by a
great pianist. who happened also to be
great composer, it contains all the
material necessary to display the abil-
ity Of the performer, and At the same
time holds within itself musical value
OF an uncommon sort. Mr.. Paderewski
played this work In Boston November
Is and 16 and won with II an enormous
success.
The first work on the program will be
one that is new to Washington, and one
which should win the same favor here
that It has in other places the Boston
Symphony Orchestra has played this
winter. II Is a symphonic trilOgy by
Vincent dIndy. entitled, ''Wallenstein.' -

Schiller dramas. "WaIlenstein's Camp,

Death" The first and last movements
Of the work bear the same names as
the first and last parts Of the dramatic
trilogy, but the second movement in
stead OF being called 4 Piccolomini,' -
is entitled Max and Thellla." Vincent
d'Indy viii be remembered as having
conducted the December concert Of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra in Wash

the greatest contemporary French com

Notes and Personals.

Members of the Plate Printers Union
employed in the Bureau OF Printing and
Engraving are indignant at the report
circulated last week that they contem-
plated lodging a complaint with the
Central Labor Union against the di-
rectors Of the bureau for working the
plate printers twelve hours In violation
OF the eight-hour Law. 1t is true the
men are working overtime to meet an
emergency. which they frequently do
under similar circumstances, but thcy
are paid overtime for it, and the men
do not object to working overtime when
paid.
