ACTRESS PLUS ATHLETE
Lois Bolton Ascribes Success to
Outdoor Life

Lois Bolton, who plays the leading
feminine role in the Field-Mayo comedy
Twin Beds" at the Walnut next week
is an athletic girl. She was born in
San Francisco and spends her summers
rollcking in the country in California,
To this outdoor life she credits her good
health and spirits as we'll as her ability
to assume new roles on short notice.
She got her first important engage
ment by playing the ingenue role with
the Belasco Stock Company in Los An-
geles on short notice. when the original
player met with an accident. During
this engagement Margaret Mayo was
trying out her new farce with the
stock company and was SO impressed
with Miss Bottoms work that she was
signed for long time contract As
the young wife, Miss Bolton has played
the role over two thousand times with
out missing a performance.

organizations OF THIS sort do for music
as whole can hardly be overestlmated.
1t gives young musicians, who would
otherwise have no opportunity of so
doing, n chance to become acquainted
with the great masterpieces of compo-
sition through playing them. and the
leaven of this knowledge must neces-
sarily spread among their relatives and
friends. Probably majority or the
audience of the symphony Club, which
heard, among other things, the first
movement of the New World" SYM
phony of Dvorak, a sextet for piano and
wood-wind Instruments, and other works
of equal merit, were not familiar with
these works and, apart from a very
oreditable rendition, they had the added
personal interest of knowing some OF
the performers, which naturally lent at
tention and concentration in the hear
ing.
Philadelphia Is fortunate in its large
number of good amateur orchestras and
choral bodies, and in no way can the
principles of good music be so widely
and rapidly spread. These bodies de-
serve every encouragement possible for
their prosperity and continued life, for
it is the one way in which the nom
professional. musician can come into
close personal contact with the works
which require large forces to perform.
Excellence of performance in such or
ganizations, while desirable is, after all,
a secondary matter; it is the knowledge
of the works and the inculcation OF a
love for the best music that really
counts.
GONE professional musicians are in
- clined to believe that the amateur
organization is menace TO the welfare
of the professional by reason Of drawing
attention from professional work be-
cause of time given TO rehearsals, etc.
Never was there greater mistake. As
interest is stimulated and knowledge
grows, there is the desire TO hear the
same and similar works better done
than is possible by the amateur body,
with the result that the professional
benefits thereby.
Some years ago the writer was identi-
fed with an amateur organization and,
out of curiosity found out roughly what
proportion of the members regularly at
tended the concerts of the Philadelphia
Orchestra. In the first years It ran
but in the course of three or four years
1t had climbed TO about 20 per cent.
However. when the Philadelphia Or
chestra played one OF the easier SYM
phonies whch\ the amateur organization
had studied the attendance at that con-
cert of the professional orchestra
jumped always to 80 per cent and even
higher. Which goes to bear out the
contention that the professional and the
amateur bodies really work hand in

taken too seriously. There must be a
starting point for every school" of ma
tlonal music and, deprived of the ad-
vantage OF folk song, which simply
represents the combined emotional char
acteristics OF a nation, filtered through
centuries of time until It represents
these characteristics in a highly concen-
trated form, the American school, which
has not yet fully found itself. must look
elsewhere for its initial impetus.
What this will be no one can say. 1t
may be that IL will take the form of an
amalgamation of the musical thought of
some or all OF the other musically de-
veloped countries and from this produce
something which shall contain parts of
the characteristics of those countries
but with sufficient infiltration of our
own national characteristics to stand as
distinctively American. At any rate,
from the present outlook, the starting
point of the american school," IL such
a thing Is ever to exist. must be some-
thing other than the folk song
The whole question "a interesting, but
is decidedly as yet in nebulous form
Lacking thus far the first fundamental
of a national school. and lacking also
the appearance of a genius of the first
water, who can crystalline into the space
of lifetime what II ordinarily takes
200 years to accomplish Gas Sebastian
Bach did for the Germans), the charge
of lack OF originality, or rather the
lack of distinct national form of emo
tional expression. for this seems to be
more exactly what was meant by the
critics, while It must be admitted, is not
necessarily fatal. 1t Is not a sign that
our composers have nothing to say; it
is rather a sign that We are not yet a
nation highly developed musically. And
this. considering our artistic youth and
the various other handicaps herein men,
toned is not surprising.

WHAT the result OF Mr.. Hofmanns
w experiment will be can only be
guessed at One result, however, can
be accurately forecast and that is that
Mr.. Hofmann's mail will be cvercrowded
for some time to come with the manu-
scripts OF ambitious American com
posers for the panoforte. Nevertheless.
it was fine thing thus TO encourage
our own composers, and better man
to do this than Mr.. Hofmann, both by
reason of ability and popularity, could
not have been found. That the original
idea seems to have been his own is all
the higher a compliment to our native
sons.
That this recital will prove a great
encouragement to American composers
goes without saying. The incentive TO
do ones best in the hope that some day
possibly a work might appear on the
program of a pianist like Josef Hof-
mann is the greatest that could be put
before a composer. 1t will also doubt
less encourage the writing of more
works in the smaller forms, where.
naturally, the chance to have them per-
formed is much better than in the larger
forms The American composer has had
many chances to be heard this year but
there will be few probably that will be
of more benefit to him than this recital
of Josef Hofmann, and Il is to he
hoped that his example will be fol-
lowed by more of the eminent pianists
now making their homes in this country
as well as by some of our own fine
native-born players.
