A EiddIers' Convention.

News from Atlanta, Ca, telling of
meeting of the Old-Time Fiddlers'
Association, suggests one of those
picturesque old types of personality
that are fast becoming extinct.
Nowadays there are no folders
They are all violinists. You can see
the youngsters Saturday morning,
piking along the streets with their
instrument case and roll of music,
vending their way to the music
teachers for a lesson. AS this in
struction is matter of parental de-
cree enforced on children who secret
ly long to be out playing games, too
few real musicians are ground out
Every country neighborhood for
merly had its fiddler. He had rarely
taken anything that could be called
professional instruction. Often he
bought his cherished fiddle at an
auction, and picked up his version of
technique from some old-timer who
had preceded him.
Music was to him the chief JOY of
living. He usually had some osten-
sible calling at which he earned a
bare living wage. But as he was
hoeing corn or cobbling shoes his
heart was in the breakdown to come
off that night at the cross roads.
He had little conceit as to his own
powers. Usually you had to use many
arts of persuasion to induce him to
bring along his fiddle to public
function. The writer was acquaint-
ed with a typical old-time fiddler,
who used sometimes to start out with
his instrument, but to repent and
conceal his fiddle behind wall or in
some barn before reaching his des-
tination.
Once started, it was as difficult to
quench the liquid melody as to induce
him to begin. Irish Washerwoman, :"
Money Musk" ETC., rolled out of his
singing bow by the league. His was
a kindly soul, who brought merri-
ment wherever he went. His place
is not wholly supplied by the tech
nically better playing of today which
so often lacks the old-time enthusi-
asm. And with the revival of the old
time dances in DEBORAH and vicinity
this old time music is good to hear
again.

These two boys will make their appearance at the Princess next week, introducing some of the latest song successes, cleverly put over by them.
 In the characterization of the rube musician, Fitch Cooper has shown the typicai country squire who is mu- sically inclined and who loves to delight his neighbors by his rendi- tions. Fitch Cooper aside from being a clever musician is an expert in the impersonation of the old country van kee so dear to many of our memo res. His selections of music 9re all in keeping with his character and he presents an act of unusual merit.
 Preston, acrobatic clown deserves credit for introducing real originality into his act, his comedy being the result of spontaneous and novel emthods.
