Douglas Fairbanks Entertains
William McAdoo and Part,

William McAdoo liked the Wild West
show which was staged for his benefit
recently by Douglas Fairbanks in the
hills Of Hollywood, and we can prove
it. Bennie Zeidman said So and here
is what he said:
THE finest exhibition Of horseman-
ship | have ever seen,' said William
G. McAdoo last week, after witnessing
the thrilling Wild West show staged
especially for his entertainment BY
Douglas Fairbanks. He was accom-.
panied by his wife, the daughter of
President Wilson; Frank Crane, the
actor and stage daddy of Fairbanks
Mrs. George Franklin and Mrs. Joseph
T. Cotton, after having been the guests
of Mr.. Fairbanks at his Beverly Hills
residence.
"Mr McAdoo's excitement at getting a
glimpse of the real West was genuine
Mrs. McAdoo was enthusiastic, ane
both took an active part in congratu
lating the various rodeo stars who rode
bucking horses and threw steers fol
their benefit"

By H. E. fKrehbiel

1t has been supposed on this side of
the ocean that Mr.. Paderewski had beer
appointed Prime Minister of pro-
visional government of a provisional
Poland. But The London Times" of
January Is would appear to have an
nounced that he has been elected Pres
ident of Poland. Commenting on the
pianists entry into politics THE Must
cal Times" of London, says:
"Musicians will view the fact with
mingled feelings: Poland's gain is
music's loss. Will Paderewski find
minor symphony? The work was pro-
duced ten years ago by the Boston
Orchestra, and played at Queens Hall
by the London Symphony Orchestra,
under Richter, in November, 1909. 1t
dealt with the political troubles of Po-
land, and broke off at the third move
ment, the composer having deferred
the writing of the finale-a song of tri-
umph-until his country was free. As
patriot, Paderewski makes q better fig
ure than Chopin. The latter was at
Vienna when Poland began one of her
struggles for freedom. Chopins COM
panIon, oyciechowski, hurried home,
but Chopin hesitated, and finally con-
tented himself with expressing his de-
votion to his country in the tremen-
dous G minor etude"
This is not in accord with the state
ment made by Mr.. Paderewski when the
symphony received its first perform
ance in Boston The Tribune's musical
reviewer, who was present on the oc-
casion cot was on February II, 1909,
reported that by the composers own
confession he had in the work paid
tribute to his native land and set a
memorial of the revolution of 1863 '64.
The missing movement was not a
finale, but scherzo-"The uprising
and its woful outcome" said H. E. K,
in his Geographic report, receive
musical delineation in the final move
ment, which is frankly programmatic;
but there is also hymning of Po-
lands heroic period in the first move
ment and of the musical nature of the
Polish people in the second. There are
only three movements in the symphony
at present, but fourth movement,
which, it is to be supposed, viii body
forth the happy side of the Polish
nature. since it is to be scherzo, will
be added when Mr.. Paderewski takes
the symphony in hand again"
Nevertheless, we can imagine that
if Mr.. Paderewskis patriotic hearts de-
sires are realized, and if he ever takes
up the symphony again, he Will write
a new finale. Nine-tenths of the work
is freighted with melancholy at tells
of great, corroding longing" said
our reports ten years ago, "of vain eff
fort and hope, which never shines re-
splendent, but appears even at the end
as only a Pickering light. In the last
movement the voice of the people,
striving to throw off the yoke of OPP
preston, finds expression in the fire.

Buying an Operate
Cat in the Bag

In an interview published in The
Tribune more than two weeks ago
George Prokofietf Informed the public
that Mr.. Campanni had invited him to
compose an opera for the Chicago OPP
era Company. The information has
now been officially confirmed by the
publicity department of the company,
which lays stress upon the circum-
stance that this is zone of the few
times when an opera has been ordered
tor production without a preliminary
hearing or examination of the begin
nings Of the score" Mr. Prokofieff is
said to have written the libretto of the
opera in Russian, but it is to be per-
formed in a French version. Its title is
glamour DIES Trois Oranges" and it is
based upon satiric comedy by Carlo
Gozzi, which In turn was founded upon
an old Italian fairy tale. The play was
first performed in Venice in 1861, and
was popular for many years. MIR. Pro-
koheR has made extensive changes in
the story, as much of the satire con-
cerned contemporary figures in the mu-
steal and political life of the period.
The opera will consist of prologue
and ten short scenes, divided into four
acts. Although he has written several
other operas, this will probably be Mr..
Prokofieff's first to be staged. His for
mer operate work, THE Gambler"
based upon novel by Dostoevsky, Is
said to have been accepted by the i'm
rerial theatres of Petrograd and Mos
COW and was about to be produced at
the former, when the tide of Bolshe
vism prevented and swept its premiere
into the indefinite future.

the qualifications which not only a

of the difficulties which translator

They might have been multiplied by the

ward foreign opera, which as take it
also includes Addison's denunciation
of translations, he must not take it

deeds condemned by the English es-

make Mr.. Meltzer realize that the

his people by his spiritual sermons,
his unfaltering faith, his inspiring
prayers and his sincere Christian life.
His brief pastorate will be remember

helpful in the history of the church.
