More Novelties Produced by
Chicago Opera Comnan

Two interesting novelties and three
important revivals mark the fifth week
OF the Chicago Opera season. On Fri
day "LHeure Espagnole," by Maurice
Ravel, was given its American premier
at the auditorium Theater, with Yvonna
Gall and Alfred Maguenat in the lead
ing roles. The same night was pro-
duced John Alden Carpenters new
ballet pantomime, "The Birthday of
the lnfanta," with Alfred Bolm as
Pedro the Grotesque. "L'Heure Fs-
pagnole" was first played at the Opera
oomlque' Paris, on May 10, 1911,
achieving instant success, and was per-
formed with equal eclat last season at
Covent Garden, London. with Mapuenat
as the Muleteer. 1t is a satirical must
cal comedy, in the most brilliant vein
OF the modern French impressionist,
havel, and French and English critics
have united in their praise of it.
The Birthday of the Infanta" has
been based by Mr.. Carpenter on Oscar
Wllde's tale; Robert Edmond Jones
ie, iS", "iZaru IN respect to
scenic scenic and lighting effects, has provided
IN setting, and Adolf Bolm has staged
the ballet. Rosa Rasa, who has more
than recovered the splendor of her
voice, has appeared in two interesting
revIvals-as Norma, in Belini's now
rarely played opera of that name. and
as Amelia in THE Masked Ball" in
which she made her Italian debut at
Parma, with Cleofonte Campanini con-
Quoting. Galli-Curci has also appeared
IN an interesting revival, that of
Bellini's LA Sonnambula," with bril-
liant success. All these novelties and
revlvals will be included in the pro
gram of the now fast approaching
New York season of the Chicago Com
pany.

Parker and American Music


The sense Of individual loss and the
end of friendly personal communion
which had brought cheer, encourage
alton must give way in the contempla-
ton of the death of Horatio Parker to
some reflections on what the dean of
the School of Music of Yale University
stood for in American music. He did
not belong to the younger generation
Of composers, though he died before he
had become an old man. He was a link
between the class represented by j. G..
d. Parker, Dudley Buck, John K. Paine
and George W. Chadwick, who sur
wives him, though he was mis- teacher
more than forty years ago, and that Of
Edward MacDowell and his successors,
some of whom, like David Stanley
Smith, for instance, were his pupils.
He stands with these men as exemplars
of sound musicianship, in contradis-
tinction to many clamorers for public
recognition whose claims rest upon
professions of nationalism and con-
fessed contempt for the learning and
training which once We're universally
conceded to be essential to artistic
creation. 1t is for this reason that,
with a feeling larger than that of a
personal bereavement, we deplore in
the death of Professor Parker a great
loss to American music.
The attitude of The Tribune toward
q national art has been plain and con-
sistent for many years-so plain and
consistent that we do not believe it has
been misunderstood by anybody, though
frequently misrepresented by men self
ishly concerned with the commercial
side of the art and misconceived by
small talents incapable of realizing
this journals ideals. American music,
by which term we now mean music
created and performed by native sons
of the United States, is, we believe,
every year coming more and more into
the estate which The Tribune has
wished to have it enter; and for that
reason the writer has less and less
cause to affect the belief of careless
spirit, characteristic of the time, that
American music means the songs Of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-21

the variety hall, the farce comedy
stage, or the pretentious platitudes of
writer's who seek to screen their ig-
norance by pretense of despisng
learning.
Devotion to the highest ideals in
music may be consorted with a
patriotism which shall exact for the
American artist as sincere d measure
of appreciation and as full q need Of
encouragement as those which are gem
to us from Europe. There is nothing
inconsistent in this belief. 1t does not
compel us necessarily to put the best
creations of American composers on
level with the best products of Euro
pean masters, but it demands that
music composed by Americans be heard
and Judged on its merits They have
won the title to such dignity and
have outgrown the privilege, if ever
they had it, of being coddled. There
should be an end to hypocritical praise
for pretentious mediocrty and the
encouragement of the conceit Of small
men who, with their hired adulators,
would fam have the public believe
them great, not because they have done
great things but because they are
Americans. We can now hail with un-
affected gladness every composition.
whether symphony or song, which
bears the hallmark of genius.
OF English Stock
Professor Parker was of English
stock, which had been American for
two centuries when he was born. He
received more than his documentary
training in America, but in his final
years Of schooling he went to the Hoch-
schulz fur Musk In Munich. There
was nothing in the curriculum or the
methods Of that institution to suggest
to him the cultivation of a distinctive
American idiom there was much to
help him to become sound musician,
and thus in later years to help his own
pupils to develop Il capacity to express
whatever of innate individuality they

fsoted to believe. that the development
of national style required isolation
from foreign influences. On the con-
trary, he encouraged and favored plans
for giving American students the ben
eft Of contact with foreign models.
At his instance the music department
of Yale University, of which he was
dean, provided fund to enable prom
ising students to study abroad. 1t was

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-Japan was charged with 'flagrant violations of the commonly termed gentlemen's agreement with this country by V. S. McClathcy of Sacramento, Calif., and Miller Freeman, of Seattle, today be- fore the house immigration committee.
 Testifying in connection with the committees consideration of the bill which would permit a certain percent age of the nationals of a country to enter the United States each year, both Mir. McClatchy and Mir. Freeman said that Japanese control of many indus tries in Washington. Oregon, Califor- mia and Colorado was being enlarged through violations of the, agreement, which forbids the entry of Japanese laborers, both skilled and unskilled, into the United States.
 Both witnesses urged exclusion of the Japanese, asserting their admis- sion is creating an economic menace of the entire country.
 In Colorado, McClatchy said, the Rocky Ford melon crop is S5 per cent Japanese controlled.
 American merchants are unable to compete with the Japanese, the wit ness declared. because of the foreign CTS low standards of living, long hours of industry and close cooperation among themselves, together with the financial support of their home gov ernment.

They are reported tC have moved everything which be- longed to the latter pair out of the office, and moved everything they pos sessed in.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-Forest fires ragged in four different sections Of California today, adding to the big losses in money and timber that have been experienced since the beginning of the fire season, upsetting train schedules, and in one place necessitat- ing the calling out of troops.
 The California redwood park in Santa Cruz county and the Angeles national forest in southern California were the two biggest fires reported. The Angeles fire was said to be virtu- ally under control after having burned over 160.000 acres. but the fire in the Redwood park was said to be threat ening the destruction of that place.
 Two thousand feet of the Southern Pacific company's snowsheds in Placer county were reported by the forest service 10 have been burned today. Trains going from and coming to San Francisco over the Sierras were held UP until midnight
 The fire that had virtually sur- rounded Placerville for three days was reported tS be under control today.
