Relates Own. Experience.
To the Editor Of TIE Sta r:

To the Editor Of TIE Star:
Permit a short space in your valuable
and we'll read paper as an answer to
the gentleman who says Washington
people are unappreciative of music.
Perhaps they are, especially if it is not
good. I can safely contradict the gem
tleman's remark. l have been teaching
in this city for the past eighteen years.
The first public concert 1 gave was with
six members of the Marine. Band-the
concert was in conjunction with my
pupils-and six pianos. The result was
a decided success. The next concert I
rel1earsed was with fifteen men and
eight pianos: the next one was twenty
five men and nine pianos; the next was
thirty men and twenty pianos-the re.
suit being the formation of a Marine
Band orchestra, which is today in ex-
istence. I have given many concerts
and conducted the members of the
Washington Symphony concerts, the
music in all Of the concerts being only
the highest and best. The bills always
were paid in advance, and. permit me
to say, the press-every paper IN this
city-has always treated me royalty.
Too much honor never can be bestowed
upon the newspapers of this city.
We have in our city. some excellent
music and dramatic critics, and If they
did not praise a performance ] dare
SAY 1t was because the subject lacked
in merit. I have interviewed a num-
Der Of musicians in the last FIVE hours.
and all expressed the same view-that
the press has always shown itself 10y
al to the people here.
Why have we no symphony orches-
ira? One reason Is very prominent.
Just one year ago I organised a SYM
phony. orchestra. 'Tlre' best business
men of Washington offered me their
checks in advance II would conduct
one. When all the money necessary
for such am undefta King had been OBJ:
tanned and all the men assembled for
the symphony one Of the musicians
nroyed to be not a union man. The
Consequence was a disruption. Right
here is the point-an artist does not
have to be a union man. He Is an art
If all musicians In this city were to
get together, whether they are union
or non-union, and a new orchestra was
founded, I personally know that a
number of responsible men in this city
would see it through. I am merely
answering the gentleman because
think and know that his criticism Of
the Washington press is not Just. I
can safely say, not only for myself. but
for others with whom I have talked,
that the press always has been loyal to
its readers and has given honor where
honor is due. l.. LIEBERMAN.

COMMENT ON CRITICISM
OF WASHINGTON PUBLIC
Correspondents Except to the Dec
laration That Local Musicians and
Artists Are Not Appreciated.
To the Editor Of Tie Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the recent article Of Mr. Wright
son, in which he deplores the fact
Of Washington not being appreciative
OF its own musicians and artists,
would suggest that this is d usual con-
dirion in other cities. and is not con-
fined to Washington. The man of
genius or talent is usually. a greater
man in the next town. do not believe
this condition Of lack of appreciation
can be remedied by calling attention to
the fact
All the great artists who come here
have probably had arduous struggles
in their own home environment. They
are now on the crest of the wave, and
are the product of many partial sue
cesses. much persistence. long routine
and musical talent. They succeed be-
cause they are worthy of success. II
the gifts and traits of success are as
great in local artist he, too will sue
ceed.
The value of an artist is the spiritual
impress he leaves in a community.
Whether his remuneration be any. or
inconsiderable. or generous. is a matter
Of secondary Importance.
The NIotet Choral Society, which it is
my privilege to direct, is grateful for
the appreciation it has had here in
Washington. Singing always before
large audiences, it has impressed by its
programs and the sincerity Of its art
Largely through it's list of subscribers
it has each season paid all debts.
The effect of spirit on community is
never lost. If it be sufficiently great it
will be recognized whether it emanate
from one within its borders or from
the genius who comes from distance
There are now in America great
funds to encourage research work, sci
entitic and professional. Possibly in
the near future this may be done for
art. There may be even high official
of the nation who may search for the
gift of spirit in the individual, and
when he finds it will support and nur-
ture it as rare element in our future
greatness as a nation.

exception OF France. He paid a high
tribute to the German soldier. His
opinion Is that $4,000 trained German
soldiers are more than match for n

other country.
In answer to the question What will

While taking the form of q tribute to

itself into a testimonial to Senator
Burton, who formally retires from the
Senate March T.
The people do not vote here" con-
tinued Senator Burton, "and, therefore,
you have unusual reasons for giving
careful attention to the welfare of the
capital of the nation. It's people should
be a special ward and trust to con-
gressmen."
Boom for Senator Burton.
Impetus to the boom of Senator Bur
