Mr.. Carl Lamson at the piano.
Carl Lamson, who is with Arthur
Hackctt on his tour this year, has
come to be known throughout the
country as one of the really great
masters of the difficult art of accom-
panyng. Mr.. Lamson is resident of
Boston and = graduate of Amherst
college. He was an organist in Bos-
\ ton and did considerable teaching,
when in the fail of 1912 c. A. Ellis.
of Boston engaged him to be the
accompanist for Fritz Kreisler on a
short tour that Kreisler was then
making in this country. Thence un-
til Kreisler retired from public work
last winter Carl Lamson has been
his constant companion in all his
tours of the United States. Lamson.
it is hardly necessary to state, is a
thoroughly equipped musician and a
more than excellent pianist.

If we had space we would reprint
the whole article written by Leonard
Lieblina in the last Musical Cour-
Ter, of which the following is brief
portion. "A few hundred thousand
persons like Debussy, Bach. Beetho-
ven Tschaikowsky, Franck. Millions
Of persons like melody ballads,
George Cohan's "Over There" Eos
ter's folk songs, and Kern's melap-
cholic fox trots. Are the few hum
dred thousand justified in hooking
the millions and swearing that they
need no music? Has music only an
aesthetic and no practical value? If
"a Chopin bailade is music. is l Hear
You Calling Me- trash? Is it better
to hear no music at all than to listen
to Poor Butterfly Smiles Wo-
men of the Homeland, Joan OF
Arc?
Those are some of the matters
which come up for reflection when
one considers the new democratic
movements in music: camp singing
and community choruses; recitals for
the soldiers and sailors; free orches-
trail concerts arranged by newspa-
pers; bands and choruses made up
of policemen, firemen. subway
guards. industrial workers; the re-
producing companies and their gen.
eral popularization of the human
voice artistically employed; the
