Grand Opera Star Agrees With

The development Of music is an
other phase Of popular education
that motion pictures are expected to
take up.
There have been a number of
eminent musicians who expressed
Views az to the possibility Of the

music sense as they call II among
tho patrons Of pictures. Victor Her
bert, the composer has recently ex-
pressed himself rather forcefully in
both words and music on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Herbert declares that there Is

up musical sense In a community.

Here is a distinct field for the
student Of music-to search out and
