Miss Hempei, what composer do

II suppose that Richard Wagner is the
only master who has applied literature
to music" replied Miss Hempel. ut
seems to me that in Wagner's music
there is everything adaptable to any dra-
ma ever conceived. OF course the Wed
ding March of Lohengrin has become
the recognized symbol, the world over
of every joyous scene, or unjoyous for
that matter, at the altar. That in it
self is a new testimony of the uni
versal appeal which Wagner has made
to the sentiment of the world, upon its

and duty of feeling in human nature
is most perfectly expressed in music.
In fact, it is only inlperfectly express
ed in stories and in drama. No, l do
not even exempt such a master play
wright as Sardou, the great French
author. His play Diplomacy, which

lures, is, of course, classic, but much
of the deeper undercurrent of the play

the Improvement of any other CON-
poser in the world? I should like to
suggest to motion picture producers
that there is no greater love theme
ever written in music than the love
motif of Tristan and Isolde 1t should
become as universally inspiring and
popular as his Wedding March 1t
is quite remarkable to realize how
easily most Of the music in Wagnerian
opera can be applied to the most
thrilling Of modern photoplays.
For instance, the 'Ho, 70, Hell mu-
sic Of the 'Walktre' with its stirring
vitality of open air and god-like cour-
age, applies itself wonderfully to the
Interpretation of cowboy pictures Of
those beautiful outdoor scenes taken
in your western country, in the hills of

amply provides, but he had the univer-

the colors Of the U. S. marines.
Pasewater was extremely anxious
to join the marines, but his sweet
tooth proved his undoing.
Shortly before his physical examin-

candy and purchased a bag of the
chewing kind.
Pasewater started in on a big piece

hard. There was a peculiar sound in

to Rifle Range Which

CAMP GORDON, Ca, July 81
Iowa men at this Cantonment will
make many trips to the small arms
rifle range at Norcross, which is six
and one-half miles from camp, and
encouraging to all these men will be
the announcement that an appropria-
ton is available to build concrete
road between the range and the
reservation.
Work on this highway will be
started Immediately, and when com
pleted it will be one of the finest
roads in north Georgia. It will be
built at a cost of something more
than S150,0O0.
Announcement is expected at any
time now to the effect that the camp
is to be enlarged so as to make its
barracks building capacity $4,000.
General Sage is waiting on word from
Atlanta that the water supply for the
camp is adequate and will remain so,
and when he is thus advised he will
Immediately recommend that the pro-
posed engagements here be put into
effect.
For the past few days the big
parade ground at this camp has been
sprinked with civilians, the new men
that have just reported. A large sec.
ton of the drill field has been given
over to the negro troops, and the
negro non-commissioned officers are
putting the rockies through the
school of the squad.
Three hundred officers from Cor

to the music selected for a big dramat-
ic story, not only tunefulness and emo
ton.
THE trouble in this country has
been, / am told, that it is almost Inn
possible to get pianists and organists
to play good music in the average mo-
ton picture house. In Berlin and other
European cities, so understand, it Is
the custom for advanced pupils study
ing in the musical conservatories to
take orchestral positions in moving
picture houses. In Berlin, it is essen
TALLY important that the music must
be good, and that it be we'll played.
The public taste demands that, 1t
seems to me, that there must be !.
great opening in this country for the
large number of musical students to
help out their musical education by
playing in these moving picture houses
in the evenings. And with carefully
chosen scores, like Paramount's how
charming-what an appeal to people
who like music, as well as pictures it
would be!
II firmly believe that music is q
prime necessity for the future success
of motion pictures, and that the more
beautiful the music the deeper will be
the under current Of feeling stirred,
and the more sincere will the audience
believe the screen story they are
watching, to be- think eventually
you will develop certain motifs taken
from the great composers that will be-
come recognizable at once by motion
picture audiences. For instance, my
suggestion is to make love motif Of all
love scenes to be the one have cho-
sen from Tristan and. Isolde OF
course, / am singer and my profess
sion is music, but l. do not believe that
any human beings are fully nourished
with the SAVIOR Of ideality that is nee
essary to perfect happiness. unless
they hear and appreciate the finest
music written"

are supplied by the great literature of
music. In Richard Wagner's music
there is everything adaptable to any
drama ever conceived. And I can i'm
aslhe nothing SO suitable for scene
IN a pullman Sleeper than some of
Bach's music. Take the music of Die
Walktire;' it applies itself wonderfully
to the Interpretation of cowboy pic
lures. And if you want music for love
scenes, why don't you take the love
motif from Tristan and Isolde? I
think that eventually you will develop
certain chief motifs taken from great
composers that will become recogniz-
able in course of time by motion pic
ture audiences"
Frieda Hempel, star OF the Metro

enough time from her favorite game,
Mo'schel, to tell the interviewer what
She thought of the very latest step for
ward in the motion picture industry.
The Fraulein's fuzzy little dog yelping
around suggested an ideal musical
syncopation for ''The Call Of the
Wild" but few pats from the diva
and his majesty ceased growing.
"You see, Fraulein Hempel," explain
ed the interviewer, 1.-The Paramount
Pictures Corporation has taken one of
the most important steps forward in
the industry. They have arranged with
Schirmer, the music publisher, to Sc

on their program to be accompanied
by a complete bound book. In 9th
er words, in more than 1000 NOV
ing picture theatres Of America the
audiences are going to hear night
after night selections from Mendels-
sohn, Strauss, Wagner, Delibes, Saint
Saens, Victor Herbert-all the great
composers, dead and living. These Sc
lections will absolutely match the mood
of the screen. Not only is the artistic
taste of an audience now been given
the chance to crafty itself, but the
coupling up of the best music with mo-
ton picture plays opens a field for a
better understanding Of the drama.
"These scores will be so arranged
that they can BIT used for any size or
chestra from a single pianist to the
largest symphony orchestra.
"These scores will be furnished to
the exhibitors by the exchanges upon
a rental basis. They will mean tie
saving of the effect Of the film from
ruination through the Inappropriate
ness of its musical accompaniment"
Fraulein Hempel, who had been at
tentively listening, clapped her hands.
THAT is good" she exclaimed. ''By
the proper adaptation of music the
