Music
Beethoven's Choral symphony
Performed by Oratorio and
Symphony Societies
By II. E. Krehbiel

The Society Of the Cincinnati in the
State of New York frowned on the
purpose of the Society of the Friends
OF Music to give performance OF
Beethoven's Symphony in D minor,
with its choral finale, in celebration of
joy, and the Society of the Friends of
Music abandoned the project This con-
cert was to have been given as me-
mortal to the soldiers of America who
died in their country's service, but be-
cause the music of the symphony is
German" the concert was denounced
as an insult to the memory Of those
who fell in the war.
Yesterday afternoon the Oratorio
and Symphony societies performed the
same symphony in the regular course
of the latter societys concerts, bot as
a celebration of "the brotherhood of
man." There were people enough to
fill Carnegie Hall. They listened rev.
erently not only to the symphony but
also to the "Benedictus" from the same
composers Mass in d.
The performance of the missal hymn
and the symphony was on the plane of
the performances of the works by Mr.
iHlOSCu SOClttleS III tNe past, not
excellent enough to call for loud praise
not poor enough to cause serious dis
appointment. The vocal difficulties in
the finale of the symphony which have
been recognized as all but insuperable
as long as the work has been in ex-
istence were not surmounted, though
the conductor and his singers labored
self sacrificingly to overcome them
There were moments (more particularly
IN the liturgical music when the emo
tlon of the hearers were carried heav-
onward, but there were also moments
{more particularly in the symphony
when the clog of physical inability on
the part of the performers kept the
listeners close to the earth.
The solo singers were Mrs. Florence
Hinkle Witherspoon, Miss Emma Rob
erts, Mr. Reed Miller and Mr.. Arthur
Middleton. M. Gustave Tinlot, concert
master of the Symphony Society
played the TRANSPORTED violin solo in
the "Benedictus' with exquisite finish
but small tone.
gratifying incident was the open
ing Of the concert with the first stanza
of America sung by chorus and audi
ence with splendid power and fervor.
Dr.. Van Dykes "Peace Hymn Of the
Republic" as set to musIcc by Mr.
Damrosch, was also sung by the Ora
torio Society.

Of its simplicity and its breadth of mel

the three, but its last movement, de-
spite. its leanings on Wagner, is ad-
mirably written, and had it been played
with greater clarity and vigor, would
have been even more appreciated. The
symphony is not modern, it opens no
vistas into the future, it quite frankly
harks back to the past-but it has
charm.

WASHINGTON, March 13.--That the

distinctly "women's work." is much
border than that of a street car con-
auetor was the statement of Mrs. Laura
prince, president of the Women Street
Gar Employees Association, in her tes-
,;mony in the Cleveland street car case
tefore the War Labor Board this after
noon. Mrs. Prince said she had been
waitress for ten years, and had be-
come a conductorette because she was
not strong enough to continue as a
waitress.
"a waitress who works ten hours a
day walks ten miles a day and carries
something like 1900 pounds of dishes
and food" said Mrs. Prince. "The work
on the street car is easy and light"

Department of Labor had recon-
mended that the women be dismissed
because they were not needed.
In study of the streetcar COM
pany's books, Miss Moriarity said she
had found that there was still need for
the employment of women on the
Cleveland streetcars.
She said one-third of the men who
had gone into military service had re-
turned to their old places; that one
hundred returned soldiers and sailors
who had not worked for the company
before had been taken on, and that
there was still need for the sixty-four
women who had been discharged.
