OFFICIALS COMMEND
AID For CHILDREN
Work OF Society On Behalf Of Orphans
Regarded As Highly Beneficial to
An Important Portion ef the
. Community

Governor Davis and DR.. J. T. Mastin.
secretary of the state board of chart
ties and corrections, have highly en-
dorsed the work Of the Children's
Nome Society of Virginia, and urged
the people OF Virginia to give 1t the
strong support that 1t deserves in its
campaign for funds with which to
erect new receiving home and pro-
vide operating expenses for the COM
ing year. Unless this assistance. Is
given. the home cannot meet the de-
mands that are being made upon it,
and the cries OF the motherless and
homeless cnes will 60 unheeded in
! many instances.
Governor Davis letter OF com
! mendation is as follows
Il take pleasure In comm ending the
efforts Of the Childrens Home Society
of Virginia in Its present campaign to
provide funds for better receiving
home and an extension of its valu-
able services.
Il feel that the society la doing
splendid work, and that it should re-
ceive the hearty cooperation and as
sistanee of the public. and that ii
should be provided with the necessary
funds to enable it to do effective
work"
DR.. Mastin wrote that the state
board OF charities and corrections very
heartily commends the work OF your
society. The most valuable asset OF
the state is it's children: consequently,
the value Ito the commonwealth OF
providing homes and adequate train
ing for the thousands OF homeless,
friendless children within her borders
cannot be measured In dollars and
cents. Such a work is fundamental
and invaluable. and money contrt-
buted to its development. Is the best
investment. that can be made.
We very earnestly hope that you
will secure the funds necessary to
equip your receiving home and to so
organize for the placing and super
vision OF the hundreds Of children in
your custody. az to make the equip
ment of the Children's Home Society
OF Virginia, second to none in the
nation"

COLOR HARMONY
AND. MUSIC EFFECTS
Lightning Effects Demonstrate the Al.
Unity Between the Two.

IN connection with the progress
along musical lines that the past years
nave brought, IL is interesting to note
The affinity that has been found 10
exist between colors and music The
necessity of tone-harmony in produce
ing perfect musical results has always
been recognized, although 1t is but
recently that modern scientists have
discovered that colorharmony as well,
Is an important aid to the interpreta-
ton of music
While various experiments have al
ready been made, certain firm of
Weii-known manufacturers of must
cal instruments. noted for their pro.
gressive attitude towards all THINGS

pecially interesting series of recifa Is
curing the pas. season. In a minia-
ture concert hall. especially adapted
10 informal reciials, demonstrations
of hand played music rolls by famous
pianists. played on a remarkable new
reproducing piano, have been made
unusually effective by the introduction
OF delicate lighting effects interpreted
by colors expressive OF the character
of the selection.
The effect was of indescribable
beauty. Here one might sit in ideal
SURROUNDINGS ana listen to a musical
masterpiece such as Beethoven
Moonlight Sonata, luminous blush
glow creating an illusion of the moons
rays and adding immeasurably to the
pleasure of the performance.
Other compositions that adant
themselves particularly to this subtle
color accompaniment" are the Rach
maninoff Prelude with its cumulative
musical feeling go significantly ex-
pressed, giving an opportunity Of pro-
ducing climax in the strength of the
lights used, the Turkish March by
Beethoven, and Grieg's Norwegian
Wedding March. descriptive OF the

STARVING RUSSIANS
CLAM0R FOR MUSIC
Operas and Concerts in Full Swing
Draw Crowded Houses

First hand information received by
Musical America from PetroSrad
gives an interesting account OF the
place of music under the Rolshevik
regime. The unqualified assertion is
made that though hundreds in the city
arc daily dying Of alton, music Is
given perhaps more public attention
! than ever before and is playing role
of extraordinary prominence in the
life Of the. community.
Albert Coates, the we'll known Eng
iish composer. is authority for the
statements concerning musical condi-
tions In Russia. He has for years been
conductor at the Imperial Opera, now
state Opera, ana only recently man
aged to escape from Russia. During
the month OF February. says Mr.
Coates, 5000 persons died of starva-
ton. yet operas and concerts went
full swing and were always attended
by immense crowds Musical artists.
worn with hunger. did their work
neither we'll ror artisticaliy. but the
tflrongs ciamored for them to go on
playing.
The audience, TO be sure. Is not the
educated one of former days, but Ii
Is new and democratic audience
composed OF working people, peas
ants soldiers and sailors. However
the people" may feel and act politi-
caiiy. at concert they are swayed
by the magic spell of music, listen at
tentively and almost reverently. and
temporarily at least seem to me in
world where there is peace and har-
moDy.
Mr.. Coates states further that the
audiences are always most enthusi-
astic and grateful. Strangely enough
they seem TO prefer the modern and
complicated music to the older and
simpler forms of Russian music. Their
special favorite' Is Scriahn. and his
composition "Poeme de Extase" they
want TO hear played over and over
again av.a..s3s !. ss ,..ss.s ..4,..ss
II is pathetic to picture a group of
lifeless and hungry musicians playing
to a worn and weary multitude; but
II is thrilling TO think that they make
up In enthusiasm and appreciation

tual musical composition and con-
struction.

AMERICAN GAMES
AMONG The FRENCH

A minimum OF 800 Of the present
great system OF Foyers du Soldat will
be retained by the Y. M. G. A. In
France for a period Of from three TO
Eve years to aid through athletics In
the civil reconstruction OF that ns-
ton. according to Percy G.. Carpenter,
chief athletic director OF the Fcyers
du Soldat, In announcing the associa-
tion's plan to attain broadcast adop-
ton OF American games among the
Frehch. Carpenter who has just sail
ed for France, says the r. hopes to
attain wholesale adoption OF Amer
lean games there.
What the French nation needs
more than anything else is to learn
to play" Mr.. Carpenter declared.
The work:ngmen in France put aside
all play when, they take on the bust !
ness OF making a, living. They were
surprised to learn that a man can both
work and play as Americans do. But
they grasped the idea eagerly when
IL was presented to them.
In all the country there has been
little play, and no exercise. except in
the army and among the wealthy whe
belong to athletic clubs In the large
cities. The children play surprisingly
little, but it does not seem to tell or
them until they reach the high school
and college age, when II becomes very
noticeable that. on an average. they
are very much less robust than Ameri-
can lads.
People mustn't get the idea that
the " Is making baseball the fen-
ture of it's work among these people.
