Music

The Hotel Ritz ballroom was well
filed yesterday afternoon at the con-
Ger; Of the Society of the Friends OF
Music. The concert was under the mu-
steal direction Of Ernest Bloch. who
had under his baton the orchestra Of
the Metropolitan Opera House.
On the programme were two num-
bers of Mr.. Bloch's own composition.
his oliver Printemps" and Poems
d'Automne." The first is a purely orches
trail work Mr.. Bloch directed two years
ago at Miss Maud Aliens recitals, and
though given then by an orchestra OF
no great merit it showed many notable
beauties. IL is a work of considerably
earlier date than the compositions
played at Mr.. Bloch's Carnegie Hall
concert last spring, and il is probably
simpler in appeal. II is work which
shows the beginnings of the composers
talent.
The four "POemcs d'Automne" by
Beatrix Rodes were set tc music by
Mr.. Bloch in 1906. They partake OF the
sombre, even melancholy, mood which
informs most of the Swiss composers
work, but they are powerfully written,
and bear unmistakable marks Of Mr..
Bloch's peculiar genius. They were
most admirably sung by Nine. Poyla
Frijsh, who gave also the concluding
Hopak Of Moussogsky.
The opening number was Liadow's
"Chansons Populaires," a charmingly
written and beautifully constructed
composition. of which Mr.. Bloch gave a
most sympathetic reading.
A Puccini-Verdi programme always
draws a huge audience, and last nights
at the Metropolitan was no exception.
The artists who appeared were Rita
Fornia, Ruth Miller, Flora Perrin, Leo
nora Sparkes, Paul Althouse. Jose Mar
dones and Louis Angelo. The orches-
ira was under the direction Of Gennaro
Papi.
IL is one Of the most amusing OF
pastimcs 10 let the fancy bring Papa
Haydn or Chevalier Gluck 70 our

cians-to bring them, for instance, to

days.

as marked, and lively and sparkling a.

would suggest, became somewhat
grandiose allegrctto. The jolly finale
became almost ponderous in It's at
tempt 20 be impressive. THIS Is, o.
course. in accord with the tendency OF
to-day. and there is probably no rea-
son why the tonsl strength OF an
eighteenth century work should not De
enlarged with the resources OF the
twentieth century orchestra, PROVIDED
it can stand the process.
But this dainty symphony, when one
tries TO enlarge il, only becomes pulled
I'd. In effect. what happens IS THIS;
The sixteen violins and three or four
violas. 'cellos and basses for which
Havdn wrote this particular symphony
are doubled, while the wood winds re-
main IN INclT customary Pota"f
tremendously increased string tone
tends 10 make the whole work heavier
and this somehow inevitably implies
slower tempo. Papa Haydn would GER
tainly be delighted with the large Phil
harmonic Orchestra. and would doubt
less go home Immediately and write
new work for il; but as for the ID major
symphony, he would probably say: NO
| wrote il for the strings which Solo
mon gave me. what do ! want with
your thirty noble yiolins and your eight
bull fddles?"
After all. couldn't the eighteenth cen
tury symphonies be played with their
original proportions OF strings and
wood winds, with the thin melodic line
and tho rapid tempo that seems best to
suit them?
In Tschaikowsky's "Pa:ketique," >"
which Mr.. Damrosch played Saturday
and Sunday, Haydn would have found
much to puzzle him. But he would
certainly have grasped the aliegretto,
wished he had written IL, and begged
the conductor 20 lead IL more smoothly
and lightly. lie would have marvelled

According to Rudolph Heck, Of Car

On the Screen
Jack Pickford Delightful as
Tom Sawyer at the -,
Strand

There are people who say that they
DO not like motion pictures. There
arc, too, people who say that Jack
Piekford is merely Mary's brother
All Of these people are earnestly re-
ouested 10 visit the Strand this week
and see Mark Twains delightful story,
"Tom Sawyer" which is being present
ed on the screen.
In this case the play is not The
thing, for no one could say that there
was much Of story in the incidents
Of Tom Sawyer's young life.
Every one predicted that there was
not sufficient material to sustain IN

when they saw the picture-well, 1t
would have been quite satisfactory II
il had run for two hours, instead oi
one.
To begin with. there was the fine
art OF Jack PickfOrd, the delightful
manner in which il was presented ana
the sub-tties. which were a Joy.
The incidents which are used In the
picture are Toms fight with the
best boy IN town." Toms ingenious
method Of getting his fence white
washed. his mad and. at frSt, unre-
Quilted passion for fiaXen-haired Becky

Edythe Chapman failed entirely IN
