We fancy that it was mere slip or
the pen of a writer for this page which
last Sunday made him describe Mr..
Gilbert's ballet as Creole" IL is
long time since we began TO try to
make the people Of New York and
other parts of the United States under
stand that black or brown man or
woman Of the South or the Antilles
was not necessarily Creole, and that,
as matter of fact, the term itself was
q fat and emphatic contradiction Of
the idea that an admixture OF racial
blood had anything TO do with it. But
the notion will not down, and we fancy
that when Mr.. Gilbert's ballet finds its
place among the announcements Of the
imminent productions at the Metropol
itan Opera House the newspapers will
think they are correctly characteriz-
ing the dancers and their music by
setting them down as "Creole.' But
il any Of the dancers are truly Gre
ole" they will not be entitled TO asso-
citation with the terpsichorean orgies
which the police of New Orleans sup
pressed about 1913. Those orgies were
African dances. We have Creole music
and Creole dances, and both are the
result OF an amalgamation of Latin
culture with African barbarism, but
the real Creole person Is pure blooded
and white. Four years ago | tried
in an article in The Tribune TO make
this plain, although | admitted that by
parity Of reasoning IL was proper
enough 10 speak of black Creoles, and
that the patois called "Creole" was
product of the African slaves Of Louisi-
ana and the Antilles. But let the facts
he restated. The French word "cr6ole'
is derived from the Spanish word
"rr;oIJo" n derivative from the verb
criar. |. O.. TO create, bring up, breed.
Primarily. cri0Ho signifies among the
Standards things bred at home but
horn in foreign lands. The child OF
rntiye of Spain, born in Cuba or
Louisiana or any South American
country. was a criollo. II was only in
a secondary degree that the term came
to be applied TO the offspring Of mixed
marriages In the French and Spanish
colonies OF America, though IL ola

official announcement which has come
from the Philharmonic Society. This
announcement tells US that members
of the orchestra have contributed more
than $4,000 to the purchase of Liberty
bonds. The publicity agent of the So
ciety adds that, although it was true
some years ago that American orches-
tras were made up largely of Germans,
this is no longer the fact. the Philhsr-
monte Orchestra of to-day being com
posed entirely of American citizens, of
whom by far the larger percentage
were born in this country. Coming
down TO details, the agent says that
there are now forty-two native-born
musicians in the orchestra, and that
the naturalized citizens represent
eleven nations, viz, Italy, Holland, Bel
GUM. Hungary, Bohemia, France, Po-
land. Germany and Norway. Only
fourteen of the members came origi-
nally from Germany or Austria, and,
says the agent, their contribution TO
the orchestras total bond subscription
of $4,000 is ample testimony Of their
unqualified Americanism."

The press agents figures are encour-
aging. A Few years ago, when the
writer essayed discussion of the in
fuence which foreign musicians had
had land were still having) upon the
country, he could count less than a
dozen Of the ninety players Of the
Philharmonic Society (including few
native-born citizens Of foreign descent
who were not Germans. In its first
season-1S42-the society numbered
ffty-two performers, Of whom twenty
two were Germans, thirteen Americans,
eleven Englishmen, four Frenchmen
and two Italians. We should like TO
believe that better state Of affairs
exists at present; but the fact is that
we do not produce orchestra players in
rlcrica and are still as dependent
upon the foreigners for art-work of
this kind as were the ancient Romans
upon the Greeks for their pedagogues.
When Know Nothingism was an element
in the political life of the United States
there was also an uprising-a foolish
one-against the Teutonism Of the
Philharmonic Society; but it died, as it
had to, and since then the majority Of
our orchestral players have come from
Germany, where music students are
still willing to be developed into handi
craftsmen, while here they aim only to
be virtuosi. The principal exceptions
are to be found in the wood-wind play
ers, for whom we depend upon the
Netherlands chiefly Belgium. Some
years ago Mr.. Sam Frankie attempted 10
maintain an American orchestra, the
majority Of the players being the chill
dren of fore;gn-born musicians. Even
then he had to depend upon immigrants
for the solo wind instruments. 1t is
likely that the Philharmonic Society is
now approaching what was then his
ideal.

Message to Scoutmasters.
The annual message of H H Grosan.
scout commissioner of the local coun-
ell of the Boy Scouts, to the scout mas
tiers of this city, says. in part:
.It was our intention to have
massed gathering during the anniver-
sary week, but on account or the
pageant activities of February y. wnen
A. c. Moses, and the inaugural proses-
sion, 1t does not seem wise to call the
troops together. 1t is earnestly hoped
that each scoutmaster will observe the
week in a most fitting manner. In ad-
dition to Good Turns etc, some time
should be spent in reviewing the past
year, Strengthening the weak points In
the troop and making such resolutions
as will raise the standard Of the work.
II think it would be most fitting If
Washington, as a city, would have some
special feature starting on the first day
of anniversary week. The residents of
Washington and those who visit the
National Capital seem to expect more OF
the boys of this city than elsewhere,
perhaps due to the fact that this Is the
nations capital. 1t seems to me that
the local scout organization should
stand out in some way as distinct from
those in other cities by some special
act.

COLOR MUSIC CONCERT
HOLDS MUCH INTEREST
Whether Experiment, Given at the
New Willard Hotel, Was Success
full Matter of Different Opinion.

The color music concert of the Motel
Willard Hotel was an interesting ex-
pertinent in coordination of color and
music. Whether it was successful. JUS
tifying further development, is mat
ter of difficult opinion.
Certain, however, it is that the per-
Torrance of Richard Lorleberg on the
cello We'd with the color concert in in
terest and was more assured of gen.
eral appreciation. His playing was
exquisite, as nearly perfect as seems
possible.
Three choruses accompanied the color
music, entitled Might" by male voices;
Dawn" by mixed voices, and TO the
Evening Star" sung by feminine voices
While Might" was sung the color
scheme, thrown upon screen, changed
from dark violet, purple to more somber
tone, to faint green of the water, foi-
lowing the theme of the words, ex-
employing the mystery OF night, vast
ness of space, pyramids in the silence
of the desert eternal flow of the River
Nile and isolation.
Increases in Life and Color.
The limpid morning, Increasing in life
and color, the theme of the choras
Dawn" was accompanied by a color
scheme of, first, opalescence, increasing
to blush pink and more intense.
The atmosphere of the ode ITO the
Evening Star" consisted of the fnyo-
cation, chrystalline starlight, repose OF
the west winds, desolation (the WOLF
and supplication. The blue Of the sky
before dusk was the opening color
a.
by forest color (the wolff, spiritual
blue, touched by the light Of benevo-
lence.
So 1t is explained in the program
Whether the beautiful choruses gained
anything from the color accompani-
ment is to be weighed. But the
choruses were beautiful, and the sing
ers tuneful and splendidly trained.
"Color Box" Is Used.
Otto Torney Simon, director Of the
society, and Mrs. Simon are the inven-
tors of this special form of color
music. The color box" used with the
stereopticon. in which many colored
slides may be manipulated. is the in,
vention of Edward NJ. Kennard of this
city; Lewis harrington co-operated in
the manipulation.
Besides the color music part of the
program, four numbers were sung by
full chorus. and closing number by
chorus and soloists. They were "Cheru-
him Song" Glinka; The Soul Friend
"On HimaIay" and 20 What a Lovely
Magic Hath Been Here" all by Ban
took. The last was the Bridal Song
from the opera "Gwendoline." by Chab-
rier The soloists were Miss Margaret
Follin. Louis Thompson and John
Waters.
The cello program, given by Mr..
Lorleberg, consisted Of "Andante,'
Gluck; "Bouree, Bach: "Andante,'
and "Sherzo." Won
Goens.
George H Wilson and Miss Lenore
Baker were at the piano.
