sousA IN FAVOR OF RAGTIME

Pasadena, Cal.-John Philip Sousa

has the reputation of having played
more ragtime compositions than any
other musical director in the world
denied the allegation of DR.. Ludwig
Gruener of Berlin that ragtime in
duces insanity.
DR.. Gruener. in a statement made
recently after a study of insanity pa.
tients at Bloomingdale. N. T.: Kanka,
kee, ILL.,. and ST. Joseph. Mo-. declared
that much of the hysteria in America
was superinduced by ragtime music
Sousa takes issue with DIR. Gruener,
claiming that more people have be-
come interested in classical music
through their interest in ragtime than
have ever been driven insane.
II am not an idiot. / know, and !
don't believe am crazy" said Sousa
when asked concerning the claims of
DR.. Gruener. who is noted alienist
in his native country.
"Hysteria is the form of insanity
that an abnormal love for ragtime
seems to produce" said DR.. Gruener.
HE is way off," is ne reply of
Sousa. People like ragtime because
1t is catchy and 1t generally leads to
greater interest in classical compost
tons"
The effect of ragtime music, so
called. anduly influences the auditory

ARE THE STARS FApINef

The opening of the present theatri-
cal season is accompanied by the
proclamation of new principle. For
70 years or more the star has been
the idol of the public and the god OF
managers. Mighty was the wage OF
this divinity. The star system seemed
permanent. But last season was one OF
the most trying that theater managers
have ever weathered. Scarcely one
has not curtailed his enterprises, says
the New York Sun. Theatrical invest
ment is on a much less extensive
scale than 1t was IL months ago. Elk
IRENE conservatism marks the bust
ness this fall. Managers are search
Ing for suggestions as to the best
means OF putting their affairs on a
solid basis. One result of this inves-
tigation is the assertion that 1t would
probably be much better for the the
aters II there were fewer stars or
none at all. The reasons for this de-
cisfon seem sound. at all events sound
Or to reasonable iaymen than the
causes Of tie sudden promotion OF
every biue-eyed ingenue to the rank
OF a star. Managers have decided
that the theatrical celebrity they
make holds them afterward In tyran-
nical grasp. They must eventually
accede to all the conditions these play
ers may impose. Thus by deliberately
creating a star they are raising up q
force that win eventually be inimical
