Dance Recitals
For Children

The postponed recital by the play
dancers, Ruth Cramer and Janet Jack
son, will be given on Thursday after
noon, April a, at o'clock, when an
Easter-timc matinee will be offered at
the Princess Theatre. The programme
is especially arranged for children, and
for every one else who can find thrill
in the adventures of the Knight of the
Hobby Horse. For these Miss Cramer
and Miss Jackson will permit peep
into Dutch Interior, will pry open the
cover Of the Magic Box and take along
with them on a Fairy Sail in Fairy
Boat.
Aside from two or three numbers,
the programme will be new, and will
thus be seen for the first time in pub
lie. The composers represented are
Schumann, Dcbussy. Chaminade, Mac
Dowell, Schubert Arensky, Rebikow,
Bruneau, Kullak and Lillian jackson,
whose Shepherds Frolic from the Pas
toral Suite will be given first hear
ing. Besides the new numbers, all of
which have been arranged by Miss
Cramer and Miss Jackson themselves,
there will be entirely new settings.
costumes and properties, all made by
the two young dancers. They have
ideas on the subject, believing that in
order to give full expression to their
creative powers and bring unity and
true individuality to their little pan
tomimes and play dances they must
themselves make everything, without
depending on outside influence for any
detail.
The reputation which these two
young American girls have achieved
for wholesomeness and lack of profess
sionalism in their little dances has
made them extremely popular in the
various training camps in and around
New York. where they have been ap-
pearing with great success. lnciden-
tally, they arc the only girls who have
been permitted to dance before our
boys in uniform.
After the recital next Thursday Miss
Cramer and Miss Jackson will prepare
for May Day matinee on Thursday.
May 2, when another new programme
will be offered.

two weeks of preparation in advance of

Baudelaire

Nine. Yvette Guilbert's first pro-
gramme at Maxine Elliotts Theatre on
Tuesday afternoon will be an entirely
new one-a talk on Baudelaire, illus
trated by songs of Baudelaire and Roll
linat.
Nine Guilbert had always been
tempted to interpret the works of Bau-
delaire, but she hesitated, until one
night in her Paris home, encouraged
by her friends, Emile lola, Edmond
Goncourt, Alphonse Daudet and Maui
rice Rollinat, she informally rendered
few of the gems Of the great master
This letter, which she received from
the composer, Maurice Rollinat, decided
her to include Baudelaire in her re-
pertoire:
My Dear Yvette:
"You are wrong to hesitate to inter-
pref Baudelaire. You are the only one
who could give US the inner image of
his works. AS to my music, it is the
literary result of Baudelaire's spirit.
~ =" Aoi 'toAC PoSl . NluSlC imam Hlu-
sician's music.
"Baudelaire can be understood only
by poet, interpreted only by an art
ist, not by an actress. One must not
sing Baudelaire; he must be expressed,
wept, sobbed, shreked, vibrated-in a
word, he must be lived.
Join to the music all the sorrow of
sorrow, all the sadness of SIM of vice,
OF pleasure in a word. And so express
through 'mimique' all the interior trag-
edy of the poet, all the morality of the
lmmorallties which he expresses.
You alone can do this. You proved
1t yesterday in my own works. Your
friend, ROLLINAT."

His songs and his piano pieces were
likewise dedicated to a spirit at once
chaotic and melancholy. In them there
is an eternal longing which never cen
be satisfied, a longing. without enough
vigor to produce pain. without passion,
without philosophy They express the
emotions neither of marlonettes nor
of human beings They possess mel
ancholy but not pathos. In them there
is neither pride, nor JOY. nor anguish,
nor belief They are the evocations
not Of the primeval depths of being,
but OF the subconscious state of feel
ing which continual refining of SEN
sation brings ever nearer to the sur
face 1t is not to be wondered at that
in Maeterlinck's inchoate, will-less
"Pelleas ct Melisande" Debussy should
have found the work most perfectly
suited to his spirit. In this opera he
has expressed his musical philosophy.
or rather lack of philosophy; he has
welded words to music as not even
Wagner succeeded in wedding them,
and if the result is not to our palares
it is not because the composer has
failed in what he has attempted, but
rather that he has so perfectly sue
ceeded.
But for future generations it is very
doubtful whether Debussy will appear
as great in his work as in his influence.
In this he will prove the antithesis of
the man whose work he dfsliked-Rich-
ard Wagner. Perhaps more than Wag-
fner ADebussy opened new ways into
music. The ways that Wagner opened
his powerful genius penetrated and
filled once and for all. The little Wag-
nerians have brought to the world moth
ing that their master had not already
given a hundred times more wonder
fully. With Debussy, we are inclined
to think, it will be different.
Debussy's music lacks throughout
that touch with nature. that connec-
ton with the soil, which the greatest
of art must ever possess. We feel that
with him his roots are in the air, or
rather perhaps that he has no roots.
Like Poe, he was sport, genius
without time and without place. And
like Poe, his influence will undoubtedly
extend with the passage OF the years.
He has widened the domain of music,
made possible wider expression, ADDED
the realm of the subconsclous to the
world of the sense and of the spirit
His work has rendered possible a inner
shading, a greater subtlety OF express
sion than had been the case before
That so fragile spirit should also
have been a pathfinder, conqueror OF
the walls of tradition, is indeed ex-
traordinary. He has made the way
clear for nobler, more radiant spirits
to advance to an art more human an1
more universal. This is the supreme
gift of Claude Debussy.

Happenings of Interest
in the Concert World

AT this time, when the country,
through the war, is being nationalzed
and unified as never before, anything
containing the native music should be
of peculiar interest. The old idea that
America was barren of folksongs has
been refuted by the research work of
collectors and scholars, who have gone
to the deserts of the Far West, into
the Appalachian Mountains and into
the plantations of the South, bringing
Saxon and negro.
special feature of the concert of
the Schola Cantorum Tuesday even
ing, April 9, at Carnegie Hall, will be
examples of these three varieties of
American folksong. The negro group
will consist Of three part-songs, all
based on traditional Negro Spirituals,"
sung in slavery. The first Of this group,
Gods Coin ter Move All de Troubles
Away" is from the collection of
Natalie Curtis Burlin, whose work in
collecting Indian folklore is we'll
known. During her stay in the South
she was impressed with the unique i'm
provisation in part-singing of wholly
rntaught negroes, and with the aid of
the photograph has made complete and
accurate records of the harmonies, as
we'll as the melodies, of the old songs
harmonies which the colored people i'm
plovised as they sang, and which, while
simple, have the rich, warm, though
archaic, quality of the truly primitive
in negro music. This is the first time
that the complete old negro song, just
as it is sung by negroes who have no
knowledge whatever Of music notation,
has ever been written out for concert
performance; and, in fact, it is the
first record ever published of this song
in any form.
An interesting contrast to this primi-
tive negro music will be furnished by
the performance of two negro folk
songs arranged by Harry T. Burleigh.
These are striking examples of the use
20 which the negro composer puts the
ED melodies of his race, which are
peculiarly his own artistic heritage and
which Mr.. Burleigh has expressed in
simple art form, wholly consistent with
the character Of the songs and with
their thenatic and rhythmic structure.
The Anglo-Saxon group will be rep
resented by two of the Lonesome
Tunes" from the Kentucky mountains,
as collected by Lorraine Wyman and
Howard Brockway, and especially set
as choruses for the Schola Cantorum
by Mr.. brockway. 1t has been found
that some of the versions of these
ballads caught up in the mountains
and held aloof from all other in
fiuenccs since the first settlement of
the pioneers are probably colder and
Eurcr versions than those known in
England, the mother country, to-day.
Zuni Indian melody of the sun
worshippers, harmonized by Harvey
Worthington LOOMS, will serve to
round out this presentation of typical
specimens of folk music of America.
The st. Cecilia Club, Victor Harri.
conductor, will give it's third and final
concert Of the season in the ballroom
of the Waldorf-Astoria on the evening
OF Tuesday, April g The programme
Will be a very uncommon one for a
musical organization Of this kind, as

choral versions of traditional folk
music selected from English, Scotch,
