BUFFALO, JONES ON SCOUTING

Just before Buffalo" Jones passed
over the Great Divide, where all the
pony tracks point n way, he called
his daughter to his side and said:
"Tell Dan Beard that l used to boot
at the Boy Scout movement, but l had
to be sick in bed two years and see
my grandson training to be worthy or
a membership in the scouts to realize
what Boy Scout means, and tell nina
I hope every boy in the world will
come to know what it means"
This deathbed comment OF the
mighty hunter has just come In a
letter from the family to the national
scout commissioner at his home In
Flushing, L. l.
Colonel Jones is the one whom Zane
Grey named ''the last Of the plains
men," He Is the man who alone and
unqided lassoed and hog-tied q lot OK
buffalo. and who later went to Africa
and lassoed every wild beast of that
country that he met, including a fulL-
grown lion.
Buffalo jones belonged to the
Buckskin men," writes Dan Beard,
"the race which is extinct, the
race which included in its ranks such
men as George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, George Rogers Clark, Simon

Gus collection of people brought to-
gether by dozen different motives
some because the performers are
their personal friends, others be-
cause they want to hear a work they
know, others for relaxation or
amusement, others because they find
that music is sedative to the nerves
or help to digestion. Such a col
lection Of people can express no
Judgment because they can have
nothing approaching common
standard of appreciation. One
likes work because it is
pretty, another because it is ugly, a
third because it is like something he
knows, and a fourth because it is
like nothing on earth. The re-
hearsal scheme will not attract such
an audience for obvious reasons; it
hopes to avoid the disastrous alter
native, an audience of cliques and
precious partisans, by the wide
spread character of its free invita-
ton.
ut has the chance of collecting
that almost unknown thing, an eager
musical audience who can express
an opinion and whose opinion conf
mands respect. Such an audience
is the first necessity if the Patrons
Fund is to be a propagating force.
The works sent in by all sorts and
conditions of composers from all
parts of the country, eventually pos
sibly from all parts of the Empire,
are sifted into those worth trying
and the reverse by a board of
three musicians of high standing. 1t
is for the audience to find out the
best from among the works tried
and if the audience can prove its
competence then in the future what
has gained approval at Patrons
fund rehearsal, either by vote or by
some less formal means of express
sion, should be seized on by conduc-
tors and concert-givers for public
performance all over the country.
Clarence Lucas, writer and COM
poser, wrote the following poetic
fancy from London in a letter to
the Musical Courier. of which paper
he is an associate editor:
"a day or two ago, however, the
warm winds blew across the green
and chilly parks and a white mist
spread its mantel over the streets
and houses when the sun was set.

commenting upon the rehearsal
scheme of hearing new compost
tons performed, makes many per

audience. He says that the most

is the audience il attracts which is

and amateur, who listen with the

they hear This offers fine OPP
portunity for the composers to hear
their own and other composers
works, and to vastly improve them
selves and the music OF their coun-
try by the many resultant effects
which come to light in the hearing
of them, and in their reception by
such an audience.
Concert giving may give the op-
portunity for hearing new works,

Dual Role GiUes Guy
Bates Post His First
Chance

n ARELY does dramatized
X, novel lend itself so successful
- ly to stage presentation as
does the play of thrilling interest
in which Guy Bates Post and his
company is appearing this season.
The book from which John Hun
ter Booth made the play was one
of the best sellers at the time it was
published, and the story in the
main is closely adhered to. There
is clever bringing up-to-date of
the reason for Chilcote's being nee
essary to the welfare of his coun-
try in the introduction of the war
episode. Otherwise the tale is the
familiar one of the two men who
so closely resembled another as to
deceive even the wife of Chilcote.
In the dual role. Mr.. Post has
tremendous demand made not only
upon his fine gift of characterize
ton, but upon his ability to make
the quickest OF changes. both in
voice, bearing, clothing, manner,
and, in short, in all OF the intangible
things which establish an identity,
quite aside from that OF physiog-
nomy. His minute detail in these
things is positively uncanny. The
suggestion OF the fine brain so
hopelessly tortured by drugs; the
gradual disintegration of the pol
ished. cultured, brilliant man of the
world into a hopelessly besotted in
tellect, is portrayed with certain
ty and understanding that makes it
thing to conjure with. Nothing
is lacking: the relaxed hand. the un-
certain lips, the furtive eyes ever
seeking a way to find the drug with
out which he is lost, and the taking
of which unlooses all there is to the
satyr in him, is a remarkable piece
of acting, and one which must make
heavy demands upon the actor.
As ever Mr.. Posts English will
be found delightful, his suavity and
grace bringing always something of
the romance of the world into his
interpretations. The company sup
porting him is unusually fine.
Alice John as Eve Chilcote is
charming and altogether convincing.
Clarence Handysides, that sterling
actor, as always, will contribute a
finished bit OF work as Herbert
Fraide. Ruby Gordon, as Robbins,
the faithful little slavey. Katherine
Raymore, as Lady Bramfill, Joan
Peers. as peggy" all finished ar
fists, add much to carefully Sc
lected cast. Miss Audrey Ander- !
son, recently star in Australia, |
will be seen in the character of
Lady Lillian Astrupp. And we must
not forget "Huskie," the dog who
knows not only his own cues, but
those of everyone else in the act
in which he appears.
Stage settings are of unusual
beauty, the first one in the fog, a
masterpiece of lighting, helps to
make THE Masquerader" the worth
while play of the season.

Practical and uninlaginative visitors
from abroad call it fog. But true
Londoner knows that it tbs the veil
of history-the fringe of the curtain
OF oblivion. Then it is that from
out the vastly deep of departed years
shadowy forms come back to repeo-
pie London'S ancient streets with
memories of famous men and
women, with pageantries and revels,
coronation scenes, military splen-
doris, poets, musicians, artists,
scholars, who long ceased to visit
London on a summers sunny day.
The burly Handel, the slender ac-
tive Haydn, the child Mozart. the
gaunt and wasted Weber, the poetic
Chopin, loom up through the mists
of a gloomy night. Lamb and COL
eridse saunter by, and farther down
the street are fleeing visions of
learned Milton, unapproachable
Shakespeare, Spencer, the poets
poet, and old Chaucer, the morning
star of England's literature. Danes
and Saxons, Normans, legions from
ancient Rome, priestly druids and
their sacrifices, return to the old
streets when the veil of history
spreads its gossamer folds over the
garish present and lets the glory of
cid London stand revealed in twi-
light. Call it not fog for 1t 10
friend of mine.
How irksome it would be il all
the famous men in history remained
forever in the blaze Of their greatest
renown. But the evening mists I'M
