WALT MASON ON WILSON

"Uncle" Walt Mason, the Kansas
bard, has been pondering the trials
and tribulations Of the president OF
the nation and this is the way he feels
about it:
ii In the White House Woodrow sits,
while the world is throwing fits, and
he looks across to Europe with a sigh;
every hour new problems loom
through the all-pervading gloom, and
he sheds a briny tear-drop with his
eye And no matter what he does,
half-baked critics round him buzz,
pointing out the divers errors he has
made; all his motives misconstrued
by the bunch of kickers rude, till he
wearies of the presidential trade. Not
since Lincoln, long ago, toted round
his jag of woe, has statesman had
to bear so dire a load; and no sympa-
thy he gets as he walks the floor and
sweats, as he picks his way along his
dreary road. With all Europe throw
ing bricks, we should can our politics,
we should quit our useless nagging,
quit it now; we should stand behind
the chief, in these days of doubt and
grief, and encourage him the best
that we know how. But we harp the
same old song, "All your policies are
wrong, and you're always making
SO it seemsi" And the pres
dent is worn, by a thousand troubles
.orn, and he hears the Knockers Cho-
'us in his dreams.

CBy Geo. II. wyatt.)

Down Ardmore-way they have a
traffic ordinance-just the came kind
of an ordinance Chickasha has, only
little more drastic.
And the officers of Ardmore are en-
forcing that ordinance. Cars go to a
corner to turn; they travel along the
streets of the business sections at a
speed Of not to exceed eight miles per
hour; they meander out in the resi-
dence districts at not over twelve and
fifteen hours; they cut no corners, but
their drivers go across to the far side
of the intersecting street when max,
ing the turn; never, under any com
ceivable circumstances, does a car cut
the corner and travel along the wrong
side of the street upon which it has

Personal pulchritude and anti-mil-
itarism," was the subject Of an edito-
rial written by John Golobie for his
paper, The State Register, last week
Being highly euphonious and more or
less impressive, the title of the piece
at once appealed to us but after read
ing it we have to confess that we are
somewhat mystified by the deep
dope" that John expounds. Ostensi-
bly, the article is designed to shed
some light on Bill Murray and his at
titrde toward preparedness but how
can anybody figure out any connec-
tion between Bill and personal pull
chritude?"

The provisions of the Ardmore traf-
fic ordinance are observed. The ordi-
nance itself, is law as rigid and as
inflexible as were the laws of the
Medes and Persians. And the officers
are as determined in the enforcement
OF the traffic laws as were the afore-
named Medes and Persians in the en-
forcement of their laws. Reckless
driving, reckless cutting Of corners,
reckless passing of standing street
ars-all constitute menaces to the
safety of the life and limb of the citi-
zens of the city, and the Ardmore Off
GERS see to 1t that this recltlessness. is

RATTAN DEVI HEARD AGAIN

Or. and Mrs. Amanda Coomaraswamy
gave another exposition OF the classical
music Of India and the folksongs OF
Cashmere yesterday afternoon-this
time in the Hudson Theatre. The af-
fair differed in no essential from that
at the Princess Theatre fortnight or
more ago when Rattan Devi, as Mrs.
Coomaraswamy is called, introduced the
strangely fascinating exotic art.
Half OF the songs on the programme
were heard at the first concert, but
there was an accentuation OF the ex-
ternal factors which play an anything
but unimportant part in their recitals:
Rattan Devi sat as before, IN Oriental
fashion, in the centre OF the stage,
fianked by sprigs of Poinsetta bios
SONS and smoking incense sticks.
Dark draperies were her background,
the theatre lamps were eXtlnguished,
but calcium lights were focused upon
her and brought out her costumes (she
made a change in the middle OF the
entertainment. her picturesque tam
brura and her features strikingly. She
sang as il unconscious Of her audience
and held her listeners in a species OF
hypnosis.
DR.. Coomaraswami explained the
.atiric philosophy of Hindu music

W. T. BISHOP SEES OPERATE MOVIE
CHURCHES UNITED LATEST THING OUT
Victor Herbert Writes the
Score for Dixon's Fall
of a Nation"

Victor Herbert has just completed an
original score TO accompany twelve
reel spectacle motion picture by
Thomas Dixon. The grand opera
cinema" will be seen at a Forty-second
Street theatre early next month, at the
termination Of one of the current must
cal comedy successes. This is the first
time that an original accompaniment
has been written for motion picture.
1.-THE Fall Of Nation" is the title Of
the new spectacle, which is produced
by the National Drama Corporation
and deals with the origin Of the Amer
lean Republic. Thomas Dixon, author
Of "The Birth of a Nation" conceived
the idea OF unified and original opera
for his story. and wrote u special
libretto for Mr.. Herbert's guidance.
Mr.. Herbert has been in Los Angeles
for month rehearsing a large or
chestra at the corporations studios.
The music room is the projection
chamber, and as fast as the reels are
definitely cut the film is thrown upon
the screen and the director takes up
WIN 'hS payers aHV1Hei PViIiVh VI
the score.
For the first time in the history o.
American pictorial drama" said Mr..
Herbert yesterday, "a complete accom-
panying score will be played that has
never been heard anywhere else. When
listening TO music that marks the fight
Of cavalry you will not say, oh, that
is 1.-THE Ride of the Valkyries,"' nor
in scenes of stress and storm will you
be RECALLED by the strains of In the
Hall of the Mountain King In brief,
the musical programme will not be a
mosaic or patchwork of bits of Wag-
ner, Grieg, Beethoven, Schumann, Men
dclssohn, Gounod, Verdi, List, Biset,
Berioz and others. 1t will be as
strictly new, as individually written to
each particular scene, as the music of
all my operettas and operas. IL will
also be, trust, an organic whole, en-
ploying central themes and motifs and
converging in a common unity of pur-
pose.
Hundreds of music lovers have told
me that their pleasure in picture pres
entations was 10 a large extent spoiled
by the patchwork character of the ac-
companying music. When the orches-
ira playeO tney heard DTS or Fau5t
or 'Tannhauser' or Carmen or Travi-
ata'; the hearing of the music flashed
pictures from those operas on the
minds Of the spectators. and attention
was distracted from the characters in
the story. Humperdinck wrote an ad-
mirable original score TO the pictured
miracle play, Sister Beatrice but with
that exception cinema music has been
unoriginal. The good example of
Humperdinck and my admiration for
the playwriting genius Of Thomas Dix
on have led me 10 collsborate with this
American author In what must seem
to many people revolutionary depart
ure from the older fields Of musician
ship"
Thomas Dixon, as director-general OF
the National Drama Corporation, has
asked Victor Herbert personally 10 lead
the New York musicians at the open
ing performance here. The initial pro-
ductions will be made simultaneously
in New York and Los Angeles, and
bookings in Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston will quickly follow.
