APPLE PUDDING MAKES A GREAT AMER
ICAN MUSICIAN-HE SAYS SO HIMSELF
PERSONALITY SKETCH
A PERSONALITY 8

Some people say that stern
fathers everlasting persistence and a
family taste for music made Waiter
Damrosch, conductor Of the New YORK
symphony orchestra, the great master
musician he is, but Walter himself
says apple pudding did It.
! To the Damrosch family, in the late
seventies, apple pudding was "Tau-
siche Apfelspeise," which, in common
United States, means apple food la
Tausig. Herr Tauslg. inventor OF that
particular brand OF apple pudding. was
also wonderful singer and came over
from the "fatherland" to sing III
Leopold Damrosch's opera company.
He boarded at the Damrosch home.
Always when Herr Tausig came
for dinner" explains Walter Dam
rosch, mother made Tausiche apfel-
speise. and naturally. too, Herr Tausig
received the first helping. What was
left fell TO my brother and me. One
night the apple pudding was fine, and
Herr Tausig left little for us. That
night T8usig's bed broke down in the
middle-ove rloaded with Tausig and
his pudding. So you see how | got my
ambition to be musician, too. apply
ing myself with great diligence, hop
ing that success would bring me plen
ty OF apple pudding, too"
Excepting that one laundering for
apple pudding, Walter Johannes DAM
rosch has little of the artistic temper
ment But he is conductor of the
great New York orchestra, composer
OF Manila TIE Deum," and best Ameri-
can Wagner lecturer, not to say any
thing about him as a producer. One
year he cleared $54 900 out OF an opera
company and kept 81 varieties OF al.
tistic temperaments in accord.
Damrosch was born in Breslau,
Prussia. Jan. so. 1862 At nine he
came to America with his father. At
10 he became conductor OF the New
ark IN. j. harmonic society, and on
the death OF his father, four years
later. became assistant conductor and
director OF the Oratoria and Sym
phony societies in New York, which

BY GERTRUDE M. PRICE,
The Times Moving Picture Expert.

King Baggott, as, OF course, every
on. knows, who frequents picture
plays, is one OF the leading men o.
The New York Imp Moving Picture
Co. He is the husband. or the lover
In nearly every picture in which he
appears.
And, listen, he's sick and tired OF
the job! He doesn't want any more
wives or sweethearts and he hates
being nm everlasting hero.
Nothing pleases him better than
being cast for genuinely wicked
part, when he car tear up the furni-
ture and generally play the villain TO
his hearts content.
King is his real name, by the way.
He has organized new club in New
York city which may soon rival the
ole Lambs club III popularity AMI
numbers.
1t is the New York Screen club.
The membership is restricted to photo
players. directors. managers, writer's,
newspapermen, actors and few other
choice spirits. Photo players of any
section Of the country are eligible, but
no women--not yet,
King told me ali this in gentle,
well-modulated. hero voice at the
Imp studio, down OIL West Fifty-sfxth.
ST., in New York city.
The studio. by the way, looks like
a secondhand store, but that's moth
ing, because the latest moving picture

be the funniest have seen yet.
King Baggott says he is more of a
studio player than a cowboy expert,
and that he has reached the place
where ht doesn't have to fall of a
barn or drop into a dirty puddle of
water II he doesn't like it. Some one
else can always be found who needs
the money or likes the glory.
But don't mistake me. King Bag
gott looks as sterling as his name.
And guess IL there were any real
heroics TO do, he'd be the man on the
lob. Here's the point he thinks
there lis something better in the flu

in them now He believes the young
hero actors and the girl players OF
today's pictures should look forward
