you remember the wonderful mu-
sic written for Hans Sach' in Wag-
ners Opera The Meistersingers.' I
have always thought that that music
would apply itself to some of those
home scenes I have witnessed in pho
toplays, where the masterful philosophy
Of heart is often shown in the charac-
ter Of the father. OF course, in these
modern stories that are put before US
in the motion picture houses there is
perhaps purpose beyond the mere
suspense Of story writing, but was
particularly impressed with the fact
that in this production of Diplomacy
enjoyed the poetic feeling in the play
because Of the ideal music selected,
which had not felt when I saw the
play produced abroad. You see, music
will always idealize, and that is some.
thing we can never get too much Of.
"Of course, when the ballroom scene
came I instinctively expected to hear
the Blue Danube Waltz by Strauss,
and when the wedding scene came of

Countess Zizka. The selection from
'Musetta' by Q. Saint-Saens was ideal
for the symbolic vision of Dora. As

with its many opportunities for i'm

production on the stage, couldn't help
wondering what the great Sardou

Illuminated on the white screen Of

suggest to motion picture producers

Is quite remarkable to realize how
easily most of the music in Wagnerian
opera can be applied to the most
thrilling Of modern photoplays.
For instance, the 'Ho, 70, Hei,' mu-
sic of the 'Walkure' with its stirring
vitality Of open air and god.like cour-

to the music selected for big dramat-
ic story, not only tunefulness and emo
ton.
1.-The trouble in this country has
been, am told, that 1t is almost i'm
possible to get pianists and organfsts
to play good music in the average mo-
ton picture house. In Berlin and other
European cities, so l understand, it is
the custom for advanced pupils study
ing in the musical Conservatives to
take orchestral positions in moving
picture houses. In Berlin, 1t is essen
tally important that the music must
he good, and that 1t be well played.
The public taste demands that. It
seems to me, that there must be q
great opening in this country for the
large number Of musical students to
help out their musical education by
playing in these moving picture houses
in the evenings. And with carefully
chosen scores, like Paramount's how
charming-what an appeal to people
who like music, as well as pictures u
would be!
~ firmly believe that music is
prime necessity for the future success
Of motion pictures, and that the more
beautiful the music the deeper will be
the under current of feeling stirred,
and the more sincere will the audience
believe the screen story they are

you will develop certain motifs taken
