1t would be a matter for surprise
that the new theory, which promises
to be of so much import to musicians
in general, and to music educators in
particular, should have it's origin in
sober England which country, for
hundreds of years has come far from
leading in matters musical and it
would be still more surprising that the
author il 1t should be a woman, were
It not for the fact that, because neith
err England nor woman has ever as
sumed leading role in the creative
and analytical branches of the art, 1T
is natural to suppose that the awak-
ening must come.
In the rhythmic Conception of Music
published about two years ago, Mar
garet III, Glyn, (known as the transla-
tor of Parsifal into English), stated
her general theory in the following
words:s while most writer's on the
subject admit the existence OF a.
musical faculty. 'une pensee must
Gale they ignore the discovery made
by DIR. Wallascheck during his ethno-
logical studies of the origin OF music
in rythmic pulsation. AS long ago
as 1893 he stated his belief In the ex-
istence of what he termed the "rythr
mical impulse, or the time sense in
man, in which the origin of music
must be sought. 1t is a fact that,
with one notable exception, all the
writer's on The origin OF music shave
striven TO account for it without so
much as a passing reference to rythnl
as factor of Importance In its evo-
luton. 1t will surprise many
people to hear that the whole essential
basis OF modern music which. is miss
ing from medieval art is to be found,
not only In folksong. but In the music
OF those primitive peoples which
is declared by ethnologists to be who'll
" Independent Of European influence,
and whose general culture is that Of
the stone age. But then, in order to
find that basis, one must know what
to look for. And 1t is the rythmic
conception of music that enables us
to distinguish root from branch. II
A general view OF primitive music
shows us that In the most primitive
state the main constituent OF music
has always been rythn, while melody
has remained an accessory. In fact,
the sense OF time seems TO have been
highly developed in man long before
he had the faintest conception Of what
we cali melody"
Furthermore, s'the study OF ethnol-
'ogy shows that II is impossible to form
any accurate conception Of primitive
music without taking into considera-
tion its connection with dancing. An.
examination OF ancient folk music,
which Is OF course a later stage OF
primitive music, shows how high a de-
velopment 1t had reached. in early:
times. Nearly all the rythmic
phenomena OF modern music can be
traced To their origin In folksong, and

The Grand Next Week.

For extremes In novelty and SEN
sation 1t is hard to imagine a more
diversified bill than that which will
be presented at the Grand for the
week commencing with the matinee on
Monday, March 22.
Pastor & Merle, a team of acrobatic
humorists, are Australians who have
arrived recently from Melbourne, they
having spent two years on tour of
a circuit in vaudeville houses in Aus
tralia. They are accounted an original
pair, possessed of original ideas, which
are said to be delivered in an original
way.
A convulsive piece Of vaudeville is
embodied in The Intruders, presented
by Herbert Brenon and Helen Down
ing, assisted by Raymond Clure, three
splendid artists. Absurd situations and
ridiculous developments make for the
company a place on the list of hearty
laughmakers.
Additional comedy is to be contrib
uted by Marie Fitzgibbons, a singing
comedienne. Miss Fitzgibbons will in
troduce several new and bright songs
and incidentally display costumes that
are said to be quite stunning.
The big act, the Last of the Regi-
ment. will be presented by AL Cameron
& Co. This is magnificent singing
feature which introduces some of the
finest trained male voices to be heard
on any stage. Magnificent scenery is
used in the presentation of this act.
Considerable comedy crops out during
the action of the piece, and it is
calculated that this number will be
one of the greatest hits ever recorded
at this house.
beautifully illustrated song has
been selected for the week and the
kinetoscope will disclose the latest
French comedy pictures.

When You First Kiss the Last Girl
You Love. Catchy title, isn't it? And
the song is just as catchy with fifteen
more good ones to keep it company in
the quality musical play A Stubborn
Cinderella which is to play at the
Fargo operahouse next Friday evening.
This much talked of musical show is
by the same authors as The Time, The
Place and The Girl, The Girl Ques-
tion, Honey Moon Trail and other big
successes. The play was produced in
the early summer at the opening of
the new Princess theatre in Chicago
by Mort II. Singer, and since the ini-
tial performance has been playing to
tremendous houses, with record of
300 consecutive performances.
The plot of the piece hinges on the
love affairs of a young college chap
who meets titled young woman from
Scotland, who previous to her &C
quaintance with Mac" the college
youth, has never spoken to man.
The situations following their meet
ing are ludicrous in the extreme, and
Dne only gets a breathing spell from
the laughs during one of the many
pleasing song numbers introduced
throughout the play.
A most capable company is support
ing Mr.. Homer B. Mason, who is head

which she uses most effectively in
several song numbers. Jack Rafael,
Harry PAUL., Ethel Dovey, Richmond
Kent, Frederick Truesdell, and Mar
guerite Keeler are some of the prin-
cipals assisting, and besides these
there are a host OF pretty girls-not
the 'Broilers" but exquisitely gowned
show girls with splendid voices.
Some of the song numbers are Love
Me Just Because, What's the Use,
Don't be Cross With Me, I'm In Love
with All the Girls l Know, Adios SEN

But Mine.

CROWS APPEAR BAD,
BUT SOME ARE GOOD

The Department Of Agriculture has
been giving some time, thought and at

and IN a report of the Rhode Island ex-

things to say about this bird. Incl
dentaIly. it gives the crow high rank
for intellect. sagacity, and discrimina-
ton.
For instance, 1t is said to be the opin-
ion of many observers that there are
good crows and bad ones and that the
egg and poultry stealing habit is not
common to all crows Of even a single
locality. The habit is said to be ac-
qUired by certain individuals only. and
if these can be shot, the trouble viii
be avoided.
The report also tells Of various rem
edses tried to prevent crows from steal
ing eggs and killing young poultry. II
