Ragtime Doomed.
There is a distinct lull in the popu-
larity of ragtime, largely due to royal
influence. King George is quite un-
musical, but Queen Mary affects a mid
Victorian interest in Bach and Bee
thoven sonatas, and has frowned heavily
on ragtime.
Yet ragtime kept creeping in at court
and military functions. King George was
so worked up about it that at a recent
function he had the bands play in adj
vance every single item on the pro-
gram In the gardens of Buckingham
