IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC

"As it is at present not only do
the women often fail to appear at re-
hearsals, but each year there is a diff
1erent set of women, so you can see
that my work has been rendered doubly
hard. Another difficulty which is not
usually recognized, but which will be
appreciated by other choral conductors
is the opposition of the singing
teacher. These teachers are obsessed
with tho idea that choral singing is,
as matter of course, harmful to
voices, and have not appreciated the
fact that, on the contrary, the kind
of programmes offered are conducive
to and, in fact, dependent upon good
singing. Thus, while we have had the
support Of a few we'll wishers among
the singing teachers, we have lost at
least fifty voices each season by this
latest opposition, and it has been q
continued process of filling open places,
I'VE began with capella concerts

hiring an orchestra. We have not.
however, ever intended permanently
to relinquish the total use of an orches-

the folksongs of all lands and intro
ducing them into America we fell
that VIC have opened new vistas and
new possibilities for choral concerts.
Moreover, our work. has proved popu-
lar. Despite the assertion that choral
music is no longer liked, our concerts
have more than paid fSf themselves.
If they had not we could never have
continued, as we have never had anv
huge funds back Of us. But New York
evidently desires to know the folk
music Of all lands, and in introducing
it we feel that we are adding some-
thing vital to Americas artistic life.
Indeed, other choral organizations are
now assimilating our programmes, and
notably the great chorus in Barcelona

There is in New York no musical
organization which during the last
eight years has furnished a larger list
of interesting novelties than the Schola

their choral arrangement is the

indefatigable in his work as con-
ductor lie has chosen the cho-
rus, trained it, and panaged it

When then it was recently announced
that Mr. SCHNEIDER had rendered his
resignation to the Schola's board of
directors there was keen feeling of
regret among all who had the good Of
grct was shared by the board with the
result that Mr. Schindler has withdrawn
his resignation and will take up his
duties as soon as he returns from Rus

the reason for its withdrawal Mr..
SCHNEIDER has some interesting things
to say, bearing upon the choral situa4
ton, and the difficulty of continuing
with chorus half paid and half vol
untccr.
In this connection he answers some
of the criticisms lcvelled at the
Schoa concerts and, while agreeing
with the opinions expressed, shows
how impossible it has been in the past

The selection of Mr.. Artur Bo-
danzky as conductor of the New Sym
phony Orchestra of the Musicians New
Orchestra Society presages a partial
change of policy on thepart of the
new band. The remaining programmes
will be made up of standard compost
tions rather than the works Of the
futursts.
|, Through the courtesy of Mr.. Gatti-
Casazza, general director of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, Mr. Bo-
danzky will conduct. He succeeds Mr.
Edgar Varese, the young French leader,
who resigned. This will be Mr..
Bodanzky's debut in America as con-
ductor of strictly symphonic orches-
ira.
Owing to the desire of the new
conductor for sufficient rchearsas be-
fore his public appearance with the
new organization, it was necessary to
postpone the second pair of concerts.

Right after the first act we went
back stage to interview A. Douglas
Leavitt Of course, you know that he

A. Douglas was making a Victory

while we stopped we also looked and
listened.
Mr.. Lcavitt's dressing room is all
neat and tidy. He has chintz curtains
on everything and chintz-covered
chairs and shades on his lights and
pictures on the walls, and we immedi-

One night last week Doraldina gave
party at Reisenweber's, and we were
invited. We never had met Doraldina,
and we had no idea who else was going
to be present. So it was regretfully
that we dragged ourself away from the
Brevoort grill and captured the only
unattached taxi in Washington Square
preparatory to being whirled away to
the Circle. We'll, we met Doraldina
and what we could say about her would
fill columns and columns, only we are
saving it for a movie story.
Doraldina promised to write it for
us herself, and it isn't finished yet
She also promised US a ruby and sap
phire and emerald and rhinestone par
rot like the one she wears around her
neck in her shiver dance, and we hope
she won't forget either promise, though
it isn't likely that that parrot will look
the same on any one else in the world.
Doraldlna is simply the most gorgeous
creature we ever have seen. And no
one eats or drinks anything while she
is dancing. They all stand up and hold
their breath We knew after we had
been at Reisenweber's five minutes
that Doraldina's party was going to be
a grand and glorious success, and when
L o'clock came and Mrs. Rcisenwebcr
rang the curfcw we all went over to

S. Jay Kaufman said that he was an
carly bird, too. SO he took US home.
The women were mopping up the floor
in the hotel lobby, looking for all the
world like the Lillian Lorraine number

possession of us and we said, ooh, how
terrible! Perhaps once upon time
they, too, were young and used to-
But s. Jay said, "Don't think of it,"

The COUNTRY AGAIN
FACES COAL FAMINE
MINERS WANT MINES TURNED
OVER TO THEM. ARE DREAM
ING OF NATURALIZATION.

WASHINGTON, D. Entering
on an investigation of the increased
price of coal senate interstate COM
merce subcommittee today brought
forth testimony that shortage of
cars and labor difficulties were him
dering coal production, that certain
elements in the miners union were
intent on naturalization of the coal
mics with adoption of a six-hour day
and a five-day week, plus wage in
crease, and that unless problems of
production were solved the country
would be brought face to face with a
coal famine in the coming winter.
Hines May Have to Explain.
So emphatic were the witnesses
that the railroads were at the bottom
of the present low production that
Senator Frelinghuysen, chairman of
the committee, indicated the commit
tees intention of bringing Director
General of Railroads Hines into the
hearing.
After detailing the effects of labor
difficulties and alleged car shortage
on coal production Harry N. Taylor,
president of the National Coal Asso-
citation, an organization of operators,
declared bill had been prepared for
submission to congress providing for
the naturalization of the mines. He
added that what the miners wanted
was not only that the government
should own the properties, but that
the mines should be turned over to
them for operation. He insisted that
the more radical of the miners APP
peared to be gaining control in GER
tain districts and that there was a
serious danger that these elements
would make an earnest effort for the
institution of something approaching
"soviet methods" in conducting the
properties.
Fear was expressed by Mr. Taylor
that at the miners convention Sept.
g, in Cleveland, and at the joint con-
ference of miners and operators In
Buffalo Sept. 25, action might be ia
ken to further endanger production.
He told the committee that the strike
in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri were
in violation of the Washington agree
ment, which provided for the contin-
uous operation of the mines until
peace definitely is established. The
conduct of the strikers in the middle
west, he said, were in many cases in
fluenced by radical elements. He said
it was known generally in the indus
try that an attempt would be made
at the Cleveland meeting to put
through a naturalization plan, with
six-hour day, a five-day week and
an increase in wages.
