SPAIN FULL OF Music NOW
Bands of Hungarian Gypsies Fled
From France st Beginning of
War to Avoid lnternment.

Spain is filed with music. AT near
ly any hour of night or day one can
hear the twanging and twinging of
musical instruments. The country is
overrun by orchestras of Hungarian
gypsies.
These bands are among the most IA
NOUS in Europe They usually are To-
Gated at Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice and
other centers of gay life. When the
war began these players, being Hun
garians, had to get out of France or
be interned as enemies. If they had
returned to Hungary they would have
had to put rifles on their shoulders in
place of violins. SO they all migrated
into Spain, filing the country with
music.
Spain already had its share of gyp-
Eies, relies of the days Of the Moors.
These greeted the newcomers with
open arms. They play together and
often hold grand entertainments, at
which one of the Hungarian gypsy
bands play, an Austrian-Polish gypsy
sings and Spanish gypsy dances.
Pastor Imperio, the fiery queen of the
Spanish gypsies who married the king
of the bull fighters, Guyio, is one of
the star dancers.
It is said the weird, Oriental strains
of the Eastern gypsies combining with
the wild toreador music of the Span
.ards makes strange but pleasing
music. A few bars of American rag
time is introduced now and then to
give dash to the dancing Of the tango
and one-step. This medley of music is
heard everywhere, at entertainments,
theaters, hotels, concert halls and even
in the streets, for Spain is crowded
with these wandering players.

He evidently was on the home

Then he passed on TO a piece of fine
art, a pair of sculptured legs which
apparently were speeding through mid

body to support. After gazing at these
