New York Music Review
By DIXIE HINE

New York, Dec. 3.---'"The Battle of Lexigton, Jr.,' is the way the con test for supremacy betwean the oD- ponents and proponents of opera in German at the Lexington theatre has been described. Like another Battle of Lexington this one, has been won by the pre-American ele- nent Tins was not achieved, how ever, without bloodshed and even death, and he result has been to center such Q whitening fire of oppO- sitIon upon the new company at the Lexington Theatre that at this writ ing it appears that they have been hit in a vulnerable spot-the finan- cial pants pocket. This blow appears to be likely to prove fatal.
 One of the darkest pages in the history of New York opera is this. And the sinister figure which per vades it is Otto Goritz-C&oritz of the Lusttania infamy, Goritz with the Hunnish disregard for decency. Goritz whose thick hide has been reached only through the financial failure of this enterprise. It has been Goritz that has brought the company to it's present state of disrepute. And there is Ober, the corpulent Ober, who was outrageously indecent in her comments during the war. She con tributed some, but Goritz has een the main figure, and after surveying g the wreck of what might have been an excellent contribution to the op- era season, he is unreGenerate.
 To the uninitiated it may be brief W observed that the Star Opera Company was formed to give opera in the German language at the LeXing- a q according to it's friends, to com rnence on the date the peace treaty was supposed To be ratified. When the date approached, the American Legion and thousands of other pro testants, uttered objections, but the prom oters disregarded them. Then the night came when the season was to Open and while there were thOuS- ands of Germans and pTO-Germasn inside, there were more thousands outside who were opponents of Ger many, German music and all things German. The two elements met in clashes, and scenes of disgraceful dis order ensued. The first performance went off fairly well. The second night it was more disorderly. The corpu- lent Veil, while singing, was accord ed an unsavory distinction from an upper box. Disorder and tumule en- sued. Outside the police and oppon- ents of the season met, in clashes and a further blot was placed upon the operatic page. This did not suf- flee. Court proceedings were resort ed to.

serious blow had bee struck, and then internal dissensions arose and as these lines are being written it is q question if the season will pro- ceed further than this week.
 When the enterprise was first broached it was hoped that it might be a really notable contribution to the music season. A mediocre com pany was engaged, but they did full justice to the operetti- selected for the repertoire. An orchestra was assem- bled, and Theodore Spiering. a loyal American and. a first rate musician, was placed over them. He di~ all that was humanly possible to reassure the general public, and to give it Q sembIance of artistic distinction. But the politicians were too strong. and the artistic end was irnme euiately sur feited and lost to view in the more dominant element. It was an amb- tious and Iaudable aim, and MT. SpierinE was strong in purpose but weak in ability to cope with the powers entrenched. German opera has suffered a blow from which it will never recover for some time. By this is meant German opera sung in the original. The Metropolitan will do German opera, notably "Parsifal,
 but it will be done with an English text. As to the German music, MT. SDiering's notable contracting of a German programme when not ac- cOmpanied by German singers using the German language is evidence that this fight. is not against German mu- sic, but against objectionable Ger mans singing German music in a Ian guage distastefuI still t.

 Walter Brooks, a well known Eng fish actor and producer, is one of the newly doiscovered producers of mu- sicaI plays. One of his new creations appeared on Broadway last week in ''F'ifty-F'ifty, Limited" and he bids fair to create an entirely new school in musical comedy. Heretofore the principle prevailing in this form of amusement has been to exploit with uot reason or rhyme, petticoats an6 panties and legs and lingerie. MI Brooks, happily, prom .ses to devel

finally look is described thus by Mr..
Litchfeld:
ION the axis of the main approach,
standing out in firm silhouette against
the background of the bay and the dis
tant hills Of Center Island, should be
great flagpole with a monumental
base, which will be forever reminiscent
of the colonel's intense love for the
American flag. At the end of the la
COON there should be a fountain, and
beyond it long approach from the
west between thickly planted native
American shrubs and low-growing
trees; laurel, wild honeysuckle, dog
wood, beech and ash forming dense
dark foliage in contrast to the gravel
walks, the reflection of the sky In the
lagoon and the bright deep blue of the
bay itself"
1t has also been suggested to the
Roosevelt Memorial association that
as elms are the most beautiful trees
for the park it would be an excellent
idea to call upon the farmers of Long
Island and Connecticut to donate spec
linen elm trees to the association
The site of the proposed park is of
great natural beauty. The ensemble
effect would be somewhat similar to
the beautiful park at Versailles where
the peace conference was held but it
will be typically American in spirit and
conception. There will be no attempt
on the part of the architect to initiate
the Versailles scheme. The proposed
lagoon will look like a diamond set in
green jade, and, through a fringe of
elm trees the spectator will get a
glimpse of the Roosevelt forum. Over
all will wave the Stars and Stripes
that the colonel loved so well. In ev-
cry way the aim will be to suggest the
virile personality of the man who was
first, last and all the time an American.
Referring to the flagpoIe with monu-
mental base which forms, in a way, the
center of the formal scheme, Mr.. Litch-
field suggested that some day the base
might be the final resting place Of the
great mans mortal part.
May Cost $1,5oo,ooo
The cost of the memorial has been
variously estimated, beginning with
sums less than $1,OOOO0O. But those
who have studied the plan feel that
100000 should be raised to assure
its complete realization. Although the
memorial is in some extent local, In a
larger view it concerns the whole ma
ton. The sum given Is very small.

School children alone could and would
give an appreciate part of it. Indeed,
since oyster Bay stands for the Roose-

pirate that the nations children should

1t is interesting, in view of the pres
was made, several years ago by some
of the citizens of Oyster Bay for
park-a fight that resulted in failure,
but which aroused the interest of Col
onel Roosevelt, who did what he could
at that time to arouse the enthusiasm
of his fellow townsmen over the
project.
For years the townspeople declined
to take any action to secure the just
rights which a few of them had in
frequently enjoyed" wrote Colonel
Roosevelt during the winter of 1918 In
describing this unsuccessful battle for
the park: 'Then the selfish miscon-
duct of one or two property owners
who sought to deny all proper access
to their beaches reused a feeling which
manifested itself in foolish and vic
ious effort-at one time a mob effort
to destroy the docks and thereby pre-
vent the property owners of access to
their sailboats. The motive seeInrd
to be less to secure their own rights
than to interfere with those of whom
they were jealous. Recourse to the
law finally settled the right of the
property owners to their docks and
their duty to keep openings in the
docks so that the clammers and the
rare wayfarers along the beach would
not be interfered with.
But this did not help those farm
ers or villagers who occasionally wish
ed to come to the beach for bathing
or boating. A few public-spirited per-
sons therefore started a movement for
park, with a long stretch of beach,
on which public and private boathous-
es and bath houses could be erected.
Various well-to-do persons, none of
whom would ever have used the park,
agreed to furnish half the money If
the town would furnish the other half.
1t was voted on at the next election.
81 rode down to the polls with a
friend, a hired mana good, upright,
Woodworking citizen, who lives some
miles away from the water, who owns
small property and is therefore a
small taxpayer. After voting l found
that our two votes had neutralized
each other; he voted against the park !;
and the park proposition was beaten
by the votes of the smaller taxpayers
who lived inland and from among
whom the chief benefciaries of the
park would have come. (The boldface
Is Colonel Roosevelt's) These men
had felt vaguely Jealous of the richer
property owners near the water and
had sympathized with the movement to
interfere with them; but they we're not
willing to incur the small expense nee
essary in order to establish such collec-
tive ownership of portion of the wa
terfront as would enable them to en-
| joy their rights along it."
