Folk Songs and Folk Dances

ace, a part OF the "Hero Land" bazaar,
the folk dances Of the Allied peoples
will be performed nightly by native
dancers. This booth, the total gross
receipts of which will be devoted to
the relief Of the suffering children OF
the British Isles. is under the presi-
dency of Lady Aberdeen, wife of the
former Governor General of Canada
and Viceroy Of Ireland. The dances
have been arranged by the various
national groups living in New York
City and will be performed by their
members under the direction of Miss
Elizabeth Burchenal, who is in charge
Of a large section Of the recreational
activities of the city and state public
schools. In the nightly repertory will
be the traditional peasant dances OF
Ireland, Poland, France, Belgium, Eng
land, the Ukraine and other Allied ma
tions.
Folk-dancing in its pure form is still
a closed book to the great majority OF
music lovers. 1t has only come to rec
ognition on the heels Of the spprecia-
tion of folksong, so successfully fos-
tered by Cecil J. Sharp and others
in this country. For many decades It
has been regarded chiefly as a mere
child's play, lacking both the technical
finish and the creative vigor of a bona
iide art. Mr.. Sharp's researches among
the English country-folk have helped
to change this prevalent notion. The
folk-dances Of all European countries
are simple and Childish only in that
their basic movements are the ones
most grateful and natural TO the hu-
man body. But the dances are often
developed to degree of complexity
that is amazing, and the dancers them
selves-farmers, shepherds or black
smiths in daily life-frequently ac-
ouire a virtuoso technique which the
consciously trained dancer can achieve
only after long months Of study.
The history Of the folk-dance as a
civilizing influence has even yet been
scarcely more than attempted. Mr.
Sharp has shown the part which the
Morris Dance played in the germlna-
tion OF native English drama, curiously
like that Of the bacchic dance OF
Greece in relation to the drama OF
Thespis and Eschylus. 1t is now es-
tablished that many OF the social
dances of tho European courts came
originally straight from the people.
But to the casual observer the interest
lies rather In regarding these dances
as expressions Of the national genius.
The emotional fire of the Russian, the
| grace Of the Pole. the artistic reserve
of the Frenchman and the sturdy out
of-doorness Of the Englishman are all
eloauently revealed in their favorite
/ dances.
Moreover, even a casual study OF
these dances, comparing one with an
other. will reveal the basic aesthetic
principles OF rhythm and balance
/ which govern all beautiful dancing
( whatsoever. The true folk-dancer,
trained only by his instructive sense
Of beautiful movement and by the ex-
annie and criticism Of his fellows,
goes as straight TO the aesthetic core
o. his art as did the Greek sculptorS
after decades Of conscious discipline
and tradition. The basic themes and
,teps arc AZ bold, ms original. as the
melodies Of great foIk-music< but
ybs, is merely frcakish does not long
survive among the folk.

Caruso and His Art

A little book which ought to prove
of keen interest to Carusoites, and
their number Is limited only by the
number of our operagoers, is just on
the press. This is Impressions OF
Caruso and His Art" by Mary H..
Flint. The book, which is exceedingly
well gotten up and profusely illus
trated with portraits of the tenor in
various roles, is devoted to short ap-
precautions OF Caruso in different
characters. The characters treated are
Des Grieux, the Duke in "Rigoletto,'
Nadir in "The Pearl Fishers" Lionel
in Marta" Nemorino in "L'Elisir
d'Amore," Rudolfo in LA Boheme," :"
Don Jose in Carmen" Radames in
Aida" Samson In Samson ct Da-
lila" and Canio in "Psgliacci." Tho
appreciations are all concisely writ
ten, with enthusiasm, tempered with
discrimination, and ought to form
manual for all who admire the great
tenor. In the foreword, which gives a
short sketch Of Signor Caruso's career,
Mr.. Flint concludes as follows:
Italy may claim him as the land
of his birth, but he belongs 20 America,
for It is here, or our soil, under our
skies, amids. our surroundings, that
he has developed into what he is to-
day"
Mrs. Flint's book ought to prove an
exceedingly attractive Christmas gift,
for it is well and justly written, and
bound in a particularly pleasing COW
ering.
New-York tribune., 1917-11-25

How far the folksong. both Of the
Old world and the new, may draw on
remote origins among separated peo-
rles will be illustrated by two groups
Of melodies to be sung by the Musical
Art Society at its twenty-ffth ami
versary concert at Carnegie Hall, a
week before Christmas. Three old
Breton religious songs, one to the
Happy Souls of Paradise and a pair
to the Virgin Mary, are obviously OF
popular origin, such as are created
by the folk themselves for use at
festivals. The Breton airs might be
associated in q romantically disposed
Imagination with the ancient songs of
the British people, for though it was
forgotten by the dwellers in Cornwall
and Brittany for centuries, the fact
remains that their popular songs, ike
their legends and fairy lore, were once
one and the same. These songs, here
given in French, are still sung also
in British dialects. The legends OF
King Arthur and Merlin still reach
across the narrow strip Of water which
separates the Bretons from their
ancient ancestors, recalling IN lew
cases the Druidical songs, or Christian
song. containing Druidical fragments.
Three others Of the Musical Art
songs will be American negro spirit
uals, arranged for voices alone, by H.
T. Burleigh, and derived in two in
stances. @Father Abraham" and $50
Sad" from the Calhoun Plantation
Songs" collected by Emily Haliowen.
Their striking melodic feature is the
use Of the Oriental interval OF an aug
mented second-B fat TO c sharp. In
u. Z. Krehbiel's "Afro-American Folk
songs" the editor remarks, however,
Il should like 10 say that the melodies
which seem to be based On the
Oriental scale prove the persistence IN
Afro-Anerican folksongs Of an ele-
ment retained from their original
Eastern home there were slaves or
Oriental education as we'll as savages
among the csptives brought to Amer
ies--or else derived from the inter
course between black slaves and some
of tn. peoples Of Western Asia, TO
whom the scale is native; but to make
such an association would be unscien-
tihc7 Yet, science with its facts,
sometimes follows on the SWIFT IN
tgitions Of pure fantasy.
A for the last of the American airs,
Deep River" II was first printed
among the slave songs Of the FISK
Jubilee Singers, who in the 70s carried
The knowledge Of their music through
OFT America and Europe, and IT is
among the pisnoforte transeriptions OF
"ryenty-four Negro Melodies pub
hshed both here and over there by
the Anglo-Africsn, Samuel Coleridse-
Taylor, who said in footnote 70
Deep River" that he felt IL TO be the
mort beautiful and touching in the
entire series. The text Of the spirit
ual, as the slaves called their religious
nymns, IL highly illustrative OF poet
zeal imagery which was predominantiy
drawn from the Bible. Heaven IN its
physical aspects, with It's thrones ana
hsrps and crowns, the rolling OF Jor-
oah's waves, the overwhelming OF
rharsoh's hosts, the terrible catastro-
phs Of the Day Of Judgment, and the
'id time camp meeting as occasion OF
riot Of religious emotion were favor
ih subjects In these American folk
tenes Of other days.

Suit Of ATTORNEY for
Half of Widows Pension
Dismissed by Judge Kelly

Walter L. Tooze, Jr., and Glen o..
Holman, who have been suing Cora NJ.
Kephart, widow, for onehalf of the ag-
gregate sum she received from the
Marion county court on account of a
widows pension, lost out in their suit
when Judge Kelly today dismissed the
suit
In his findings Judge Kelly says that
the contract was for one-half of the
aggregate sum, that the contract made
between the plaintiffs and the depend
ant was on the personal solicitation Of
the plaintiffs, and that Mrs. Kephart
was not fully aware as to the full
meaning of the contract. "To be en-
forcable in equity" says Judge Kelly,
"the defendant must know fully the
extent of the contract"
Mrs. Kephart was to receive $l07l25
as widows pension, less $225 advanced
by the county on the poor account. The
settlement by the county court with
Mrs. Kephart was made as the result
of decision of the supreme court and
not by reason of the work of the at
torupVs
