The World Of Music

 Wm. Crotch, afterward Dr. Crotch. and distinguished English organist and professor of music. was the most noted juvenile prodigy ever known He was an organ player at the age of two, the subject of philosophical papers at three and gave daily organ recitals at four.
 When Rubinstein was director of the Conservatory at St. Petersburg. there was only one thing on earth that could awe him, and that was the announcement of an ambitious mother" Good heavens" he would cry in desperation, "I am Rubinstein, and I am director of the Conserva- tory, but you cannot expect me there fore to make geniuses."
 The mOmentOus question as to exactly which hymn was played by the bandsmen of the Titanic as the vessel went down is now in a fair way to be decided. Most people who have investigated the matter seem to think Nearer, My God, to Thee" was the hymn. but they are still not in agreement as to which setting was used. The fact appears to be, how ever. that Wallace Hartley, the lead CT of the orchestra. had decided preference for Sullivan's tune. This melody is not so we'll known in America though it is very popular in England. and is to be found in most of the hymn books. After all, however, the matter of which hymn or what tune was sung matters very little. The great outstanding fact remains that the "unsettling" profession of music in no way units a musician for doing his duty as well as the soldier or the sailor.

TIRED OF TEDDY.

I am so tired of TEDDY
 TEDDY, the statesman on wheels Tired, and my poor brain already
 Under the incubus reels; Tired of the cowboys that raced
 him,
 Tired of the lions that chased him, Oh, I can smell him and taste him
 When l sit down to my meals. I am so tired of his chromo,
 Tired of his magazine curves,
 That I am living on promo,
 Trying to brace up my nerves; Tired of yarns he's indited, Tired of wrongs he has lighted Tired of his chestnut, DELIGHT
 ED,"
 Tired of the dope that he serves. I am so tired of his Stetson,
 Tired of his glasses beneath, Tired of the khaki he gets on.
 Tired of his tributes and wreath. am so tired of his trooping, Tired of his yelling and whooping, Tired till my spirit is dropping. Tired of his hair and his teeth am so tired of his cronies,
 Tired of his cousins and aunts, Tired of his hippos and ponies,
 Tired of his stuffed elephants, Tired of the way he is faring, Tired of the fun he is sharing, Tired of the shirt he Is wearing,
 Tired of his necktie and pants. He has made life to me dreary,
 Loading 1t down with his fame; I am so disheartened and weary,
 Sick of the sound of his name, Sick of his boots and his brooches, Tired of his arrogant speeches, Sick of his hoots and his scheeches.
 Tired of his whole dizzy game.

HOW MAKE PEOPLE CRY.
 By David Warfield.

When the programs rustic you are lost. Your audience has slipped away from you. When there is an epidemic of coughing the people in front are signaling you that you bore them When they stir in their seats you are never liable to have an other audience. I heard that sound once. don't want ever to hear it again.
 Somehow, by means of your own, you must hold those people seated in semi-circle in front of and about you, if you are an actor. Every actor has his own means. He must try to learn what are those special means of his and make the utmost use of them The voice must be great aid to the actor. Not the first aid The eyes must be that. Nor the second. The mobile mouth must have that post. for smile can tell volumes. Smiles of fear or hopelessness or apology for helpless ness are the saddest sights in the world. But the voice should be third. l have been told that there is sob in my voice. MT. Belasco has said that it was that sob in my voice and the faculty of completely relaxing my muscles that made him notice my work when he first saw me. as an Irish washerwoman. in the burlesque. "O'Dowd's Neigh bor's." l am not conscious of that sob, but I do know that there must be a sob in the heart before one can reproduce 1t in the voice and make the audience echo it. You can't fool an audience. Acting is the art of reproduction, and there must be something to reproduce. That some thing must be emotion, and it must be in oneself
 The faculty of relaxing the mus cles I never learned. think I al ways had It. But l suppose that 1t becomes easier with experience. l have always realized the necessity

for it After eyes. mouth and voice. attitudes are doubtless the fourth aid to expression. But there must be reason for every attitude and that reason must be the emotion that is to he produced. first in the body. then in the hearts of the hearers and watchers in front.
 Many have talked of the scene in . The Music Master" when stood in the open doorway looking at the pie ture of the woman who had been my wife. hut who had deserted me, and had since died It was the first time I had looked upon her face for many years. The scene was q spiritual tragedy Yet it had to be expressed by an attitude stood with my back to the audience looked at the picture for what seem ed a long time, but was probably only two or three minutes
 Do you know what impressed the audience in the acting of that scene? The audience didn't know it. but it was what was taking place in my face and that reached through to my back. This is literally true stood looking at that picture with smile, not happy smile as you may imagine. but gentle one. one of forgiveness, but of infinite sadness That was what the audience felt don't know just how that back look ed. never saw it. I've never seen myself act. But I do know that the smile worked through somehow to the back. If it hadn't the audi ence would not have cared. It's pro grams would have rustled. I would have known I had lost it.
 I have been asked whether l was not really looking at a picture dur ing that silent scene when misery settled upon and into the audience. l was not. In fact I was looking at any scene shifter who happened to be waiting in the wings It was dis tracting. So I had that part of the staged boxed up and looked upon a board and paper Thus could concentrate upon our life together and the sundering of our ties, and keep the program still.
 sti1l who talk of the street scene in The Auctioneer" when l, a toy vender. try to sell q plaything to woman who hasn't the change. offer to get it. but she declines and I lose the sale. Now I did nothing there but let my fig ure collapse in the odd way that most of those men do. Their bodies almost seem to fall to pieces when they walk-and try to smile.
 In "The Return of Peter Grimm" while l stand. disembodied spirit, watching the girl play, the audience sees only my back, but l smile at her all the while. Somehow again l get the feeling Of that smile through to the back. l know l must, else l would lose my audience.
 When I hear the sound of sohbing in my audience I am not hearing it for the first time that night. l hay not needed to shed tears, but l have had to weep in my heart. After a time the ncwness of an impression vanishes. After playing "The Music Master" thousand times I had to persuade myself to feel the sad scenes, and I did persuade my self, else the audience would not have felt them.
 If the tears don't come when l first read a play l won't undertake the part l maintain that no elocu ton lesson can put sob in the voice if it isn't first in the heart.
 One must have wept to make others weep.

Coomhs was not well most Of the year. and Plank and Bender never showed their last seasons form for a minute. krause was sent to the minors, and the veteran man ager was handicapped and badly so by one of the most unsteady bunch of twirlers that he ever had. That is the reason the Athletics finished where they did

This year marked the pass ing of Lee Tannehill. the veteran in fielder going to Kansas City from the Chicago team.
 Detroit was a sad failure. Not a reliable pitcher. an unsteady, lazy infield and one of the best outfields in the game was what the Tigers started with. and although they i'm proved and played better baseball when they were braced up by the arrival of new faces on the team they never showed the same spirit that made them one of the greatest teams in the history of the game for the past four years.
 Davis resigned as manager of the Cleveland team just before the close of the season. The former , pupil of Connie Mack had a hard row to hoe. His team never got beyond the experimental stage. and constant changing of his lineup. and the unreliability of his pitching staff made the life of the veteran first sacker anything but pleasant. The team played listless ball throughout the season, not even the great La joie or Jackson coming up to their records of previous years.
 The New York Americans started the season utterly demoralized and finished it the same way. Not even Ford had a good year The whole team was constantly kept busy by illness and accident. Harry Wolver- ton had more hard luck than any other manager in the country. Ster- rett, the Princeton player, was the one bright spot on a dismal record of defeat and failure.
 The St Louis team under Stoval is getting better. but is still a mighty poor team. If given chance, though, Stoval who made such a good team of the Cleveland organization the short time he was at it's head. will repeat in St. Louis. There is not more popular man with his men than the new leader of the luckless Browns, and if he can get chance at anything like good men he will develop a team that will be in the race from the start to the finish. It is all on the next season that he planned this year. knowing that seventh was the best he could finish in the race just ended. He pulled up in last place, but no blame can be attached to him on that account
 Both leagues had a successful sea son financially. The Giants have been playing on velvet since the mid dle of July, and the Red Sox since the first part of August. No team lost money, although the Boston Doves barely broke even.
