FEATS IN MUSICAL COMPOSITION

"HEN, last summer western builder Of
musical shows, at the urgent request Of
a theatrical manager then IN sore straits for
an extravaganza, constructed musical me
lange OF the regulation three acts, and turned
IN his completed work at the end OF thirty-six
hours it conceded by those in position
to Judge that this constituted a record IN the
hne OF haSty musical composition
Up to the time in question it generally
thought that Oscar Hammerstein's record Of
a comic opera IN one aCt-words and music
composed in one night, would stand for a long
time as the record. But the western composer
went Oscar one better InaSmuch as he turned
IN three acts instead of one, and he had pro
vided not only the musical numbers and
hbretto, but had also devised the stage bus
ness.
One of the most remarkable pieces Of orches-
tratlon ever written, the overture to "Otello,
was scored by Rossini in only twenty-four
hours
Though at one o'clock in the morning not
note of the overture to Don Giovanni "
had been written vet Mozart finished it before
he sat down to breakfast at the usual hour.
During the long hours consumed by this task
the musician wife kept him awake by read
ing fairy stories to him.
In the early days of his career, Sir Arthur
Sullivan scored the music for solo dance IN
a comic opera at the Savoy Theater in London
so rapidly that it actually in rehearsal
within quarter of an hour after he had set
down the first note.
One of the fastest composers that ever
lived was Trotere, the writer of songs. Some
of this composers feats verge on the marvel
Gus 1t is claimed, for example, that he actu-
ally wrote the music of g In Old Madrid" and
had dropped it into the letterbox within eight
minutes of the time he had taken up his pen.
This would be remarkable merely as showing
his dexterity and agility, to say nothing of
the labor of the composition itself.
One of Schuberts friends tells story indi-
eating that composers rapidity of workman
ship. He had left Schubert absorbed in
Goethes ballad, The Erl King" On his re-
turn, in a very few minutes, he found the
musician swiftly putting on paper the notes
inspired by the poem; and within an hour
there had been composed that great song the
world has admired ever since
Another composer who accomplished extraor-
binary results in rapid work was Mendelssohn,
who thought nothing of dashing off an over
ture in the course of day.

The idea of the Gypsy kettles in which money

Typewriter

Yes-just pennies.

Simply save them.
Then pay monthly.
Keep it up for few months.
First thing you know, it's your type
writer.
Yours without effort or worry.
For who misses few cents day!
Scatter your pennies, nickels and dimes,
and they accomplish nothing.
Combine them, and they work wonders.
There's fascination in watching the
multiplication of pennies, when saved, day
by day, on this plan.
One wonders where they all come from.
They are 'by product" of business
that never before had seemed to possess
real valne.
Yet our 17-cents-aday selling plan puts
them in harness and makes them pull a
500 typewriter!
Hundreds are now buying Oliver Type
writer's on this simple, practical plan.
Some from necessity, but many because
Of the novelty of the idea.
