ADJUSTMENTS
SOUSA TODAY,

Wagner is the most popular composer;
without question the most popular, and
the 'Tannhauser overture is the most
popular piece of music in the world"
This is the way John Philip SOusa, the
March King, summed up popularity in
music when asked during the concert at
ogden last night. The great band leader
and composer of marches sat smoking
cheerfully. THE distinction between what
has been called classical music and what
Is known as popular music" he said, rs
gradually becoming obliterated- BY this
is not meant that / regard Tag-time as
classical, but L do regard some of the
master works of the great composers as
popular in the best sense" He expressed
his faith in the future for music in Amer
lea.
Music does not become popular I'M
less 1t originates in an inspiration" he
said. Writing notes is an ordinary ae-
compiishment, but all of it is not music,
any more than the mere writing of words
is literature. Music is the universal Ian
guage, and what is popular here will be
popular in England, or in Europe gener-
ally. On the other hand a piece of mu-
sic that is popular in London will be
popular here In sixteen countries have
given the same programs / have given
here. l have made four tours of Europe,
and l do not think it would be possible
for me to live if this universally l speak
of were not present. Ny concerts were
just as successful abroad as they are
here"
Asked if he believed the musical taste
was advancing in this country, he re-
piled:
Let US take baseball. The more one
sees of fine ball playing the better one
will be a judge of fine play. 1t is the
same with music; the more fine music Is
heard the better judge one will be of
what is good. This is true of every one.
OF course, a person who never has heard
music will not be judge of what is good
or bad in music.
Now, although l said that what is
popular in Europe in music is popular
here, this applies only to music. As to
the drama, ii is very different. A play
might appeal to a London audience be-
cause of an appeal which to an American
audience would have no weight. With
music, however, the appeal is universal.
Every one understands It, Its vibratOry
qualities appeal to the physical senses,
and the spiritual to the soul. There is
glamor about good music as about moth
ing else.
I'VE are reaching in America a very
peculiar point, where people go and see

SALT LAKE THEATRE.

What will probably prove the biggest
event in theatrical circles. in SO far as
musical comedy is concerned, is the en-
gagement of George NJ. Cohan (himselD
and his royal family and the hundred 9TH
er members OF the original cast and cho-
rus in support of this celebrated author.
actor, comedian and playwright, who are
to present The Yankee Prince" at the

that time their fame as funmakers has
increased to such an extent that they are
seldom seen outside of four or five of
the larger eastern cities. George NJ. Co
han himself has only appeared in New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston
for the past five years. and the an
nouncement that the reunited family
would make the present tour of the south
and the Pacific coast has been received
with a good deal Of incredulity by admir-
ers of this young mans strenuous meth

ed by his father, mother and sister and
with every member of the original cast
and chorus that has constituted mis- sup
port since the initial production of '"rhe
Yankee Prince" almost two years ago.

VIGOROUS PROTEST MADE
State Railway Commissioners Against
Granting Further Powers to
Commerce Commission.

Washington, Nov. 15.--Revolt against
extension of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission begins to break
out in the convention of railway commits
sioners. which began it's session today.
Opinion is divided and a reflection Of
the impending clash was shown. in the
meeting tonight of the committee on car
service and demurTage. The meeting is
said to have been stormy, many mem
bers contending that a federal car serv-
ice law would give the interstate COM
merce commission almost despotic power.
Another fight is to be made against the
proposition that the commission be given
power to take up investigations of pure
ly local railroad matters.
The delegates are from every state hav-
ing railroad commissions. The feeling
among many is that further power to
the interstate commerce commission will
render the state commissions practically
useless
