OrnStein's Music

We had with u.s. at the Metropolitan theatre the other
evening Mr. Leo Ornsten, young composer and pianist
whom the musical world is having quite a fuss.
He an ultra-rnodern composer. content with
terry of the technique and spirit of those who have gone be-
fore. He has ideas.
For instance, he has composed wild Mans Dance"
which folks say is crazy because it is decidedly
wild.
whats the use?" they ask.
Some years ago college professor told us, and we
agreed that Mr. Edgar Allen Poe had the respect of the
literary world because he knew how to take words and po
tray weird grotesque sensations with them.
Now young musician who can compose and play
wild Mans Dance that is wild; funeral march that
soulstrrng its sadness and cradle that is far
than soothing tune.
When direct sound to make us think of al
most anything he chooses-and think deeply-he has
approval Which, of course doesn't make much of a
splash in the musical world.
ornstein's composition may not pass the acid test of
conservatism, but to plain ordinary human beings he
tributes something worth while.
Always there those who have looked askance
at things Ornsen has something offer There
fore there must be who ask in their way
