FIRST CHURCHORCAN
ELECTED BY SCOTCH

The first crgan ever used In a
Scotch Presbyterian Church was
built by the famous inventor, James
Watt. 1t was a smGl chamber af-
fair set up for his own use. Upon
going to Birmingham to live, he
left il behind him in Glasgow.
There 1t came into the possession
o: the minister of ST. Andrews
Church.
For some time the organ was
used for weekday choir practice
only. On a Sunday ir August. 1907.
however. an oil ganist of the Episco-
palian faith played it during the
regular service. 1t earned that de-
nomination the name of the whist
':nr kirt." The shocked presbytery
declared the use of the "kist ofi
whistles" contrary to the kirk law,
and it was lgnominiCusly cast ont
after a single service. Not until
1850 WAS the organ tolerated in st.
Andrews.
The ancient instrument elected by
the presbytery Of ST. Andrews Is
said to be still ir existence in the
house of a Scottish squire near Big

Griffith to Reveal
" Way Down East to
New York on Aug. 9

New York is to see "'Way Down
East" on August 8 at the Forty
second Street Theater. Albert Grey,
who works fast, had no more than
stepped Off the boat from Europe
than he had made arrangements to
open the second annual New York
motion picture season in this play
house. Mr.. Grey did not betray his
secret, but dint of much coaxing, no
was induced to admit that the big
event is scheduled for early in Au-
gust.
After paying s175,ooo for the priv
ilege of bringing to the screen this
famous play, II is needless to say
David wark Grifith has spared no
expense, nor effort. in making the
completed picture worthy of his sig
nature. He has an exceptional cast
headed by Lillian Gish and support
ed by such actors as Lowell Sher-
man, Creighton Hale, Burr Mcintosh.
George Neville. Muriel Sutch, Vivian
Ogden. Mary Haye, Porter Strong
and others.
1t is rumored that there will be a
revival Of The Birth of a Nation"
and Broken Blossoms" following
the premier of Way Down East"
The presentation of the latter will
be with all the Griffith touches, spe-
cial music. settings and prologue.
AS Mr.. Griffith always faithfully
rehearses and brings out all the fne
points in his big productions 1t Is
likely that rehearsing for the open
ing will be started shortly. The
picture is completed. but there now
remains the gigantic task Of as
sembling the film. Having taken
23o,oo0 feet, II can be easily seen the
selecting of only enough of this
amount for an evenings entertain
ment Is q Herculean task.

MIR. NASH RECOUNTS
OBERLIN MEETING

Walter H. Nash, manager OF the
music department of ]. Edgar Rob-
inson's music store. has just re-
turned from the third national con-
vention of the American Guild of
jOrganists held at oberlin. Ohio, dur
ing the week of June 20. The ses-
sion was closed with a recital on
the large Skinner organ in Finney
Chapel played by Rollo Maitland.
fellow of the guild. and organist and
Ichoirmaster OF Memorial Church of
st. Paul at Overlook. Pa.
other organists who achieved
great success at this convention"
said Mr.. Nash to a representative of
The Herald. were Charles NJ. Cour-
boin. Edwin A. Kraft and Lynnwood
Farnam who played with especial
brilliancy and artistic interpreta-
ton"
Mr.. Nash stated that James T.
ouarles, of Cornell University, in
speaking of the organist in the con-
cert field brought out with consider
able clearness the remarkable strides
taken in the advancement of organ
music and organ playing. This, he
asserted. was made possible through
the increasing number of good
organs in the churches. as we'll as
by the large number of higher grade
instruments in the large theaters
and municipal halls and schools.
The convention as a whole" con-
tinued Mr.. Nash. was such a sue
cess as to call for a vote for an an
! nual meeting. This will tend. in my
opinion, towards a more rapid build
ing up of the guild and will be a
big step toward binding together
the various chapters"
Mr.. Nash. who represented the
Washington Chapter, attended the
meeting with the particular object
in mind of arranging for a series
OF recitals to be given under the
auspices of the guild in this city
next season. Several of the organ
lists who played at the convention,
showed quite a little enthusiasm
over this plan and consented to
assist Mr.. Nash in his undertaking.

BY titantic efforts experienced grand
opera singers sometimes succeed in
being placed on the pay rolls of one
OF the few grand opera companies
IN American as an understudy for
one of the important roles. But II
the Fates willed that the star should
remain unacQuainted with accident
or sickness, then the sspirant for
grand opera honors remained un-
heard and unknown.
In his interesting talk with The
Herald representative Mr.. Bleyden
stated that. prior TO the war, the
young grand opera singer was given
a better opportunity to succeed in
Germany than in either Italy or
France. In these latter countries
the musician was called upon to
part with a considerable sum of
money before a hearing was grant
ed. This money went into every
conceivable channel that had even
the slightest acquaintance with the
opera.
In the opinion of Mr.. Bleyden,
about the only chance open for the
professional American singer of to-
day. aside from teaching. is in
oratorio or on the concert platform.
In comparison with the large num-
ber of grand opera companies eK-
listing in Europe today, Mr.. Bley-
den remarked that this country
possessed. probably three or four
and not at the most more than five
grand opera companies. Mention
vas made of the Savage Grand
Opera Company which presented
grand opera in English. and of the
Aborn Grand Opera Company which
for several years staged English
grand opera, neither of which are
in existence today.
Mr.. Bleyden was a pupil OF the
Imperial Royal Conservatory OF
Vienna, a pupil OF Philip Forster,
Paulina Lucca, Robinson and Jas
per, of Vienna. and Cessare Rossi.
of Milan, Italy. After eight years.
experience in singing leading roles
in grand opera on the Continent,
Mr.. Bleyden returned to this coun-
try and sang leading parts with the
Savage and Aborn grand opera
companies. When he had completed
his engagements with these COM
ponies. Mr.. Bleyden took up his
residence in Washington where he
has been one of the most success
full of soloists and teachers. He
has been the tenor soloist at st.
Johns Episcopal Church for the
past eight years.

.CARUSO Sings
FAMOUS SONG
Handel S Masterpiece in Or.
igiinal Form on Victor
Record.

The immortal Largo" as sung by
Caruso ON q Victor record is a COM
plete masterpiece Of vocal interpre-
tation and of the recording art. 1t
lis given on this record in it's origi-
nal form as an excerpt from an
opera long passed into oblivion
this one great aria remaining as q
glorious monument. The primitive
scoring of Handers time Is en-
riched by the addition of a harp
and by combinations of instruments
unknown in his day. His har-
monies, which then were left large
ly to orchestral players, are as he
wrote them. First there is q brief
reoitatiye-steady, majestic. thrill
ing. Then the melody Of the Largo
is heafd-sung by bowed strings OF
the Orchestra against the rhythmed
sweep of harp cerds. Then, the
mighty voice, low and remote at
first, gathers strength and glory
as 1t rises, growing in one mag
nificent crescendo until IL seems
the throat may give forth, and the
listening ear receive no more.
Were you to ask the average mu-
sic lover to name ten favorite piano
works OF the great composers.
doubtless Chopin's "Berceuse" would
be included. Cartot plays this Yith
charming grace on new victor
record. 1t begins with a simple left
hand rhythm. Against this, there
steals a melody of superhuman
beauty and tenderness which never
ceases. AT first IT Is a simple, placid
stream 81 silver without a ripple;
bat shortly the surface begins to
glitter and flash and send forth
spray which breaks into a million
shimmering globules gradually set

to their place of origin. When the
instrument ceases you feel that you

table dream.

PAUL BLEYDEN

One OF the busiest musicians in
this city these sweltering days, Is
Paul Bleyden. the well-known lyric,
dramatic, opera and concert tenor.
and teacher OF singing. Mr.. Bley-
den Is at work on the preparation
for next season, OF Humperdink' s
"Hansel and Gretel." and the song
cycle, IN a Persian Garden" set to
music by Liza Lehman. He also
plans to repeat the one-act opera,
"LEnfsnt Prologue" by Claude De-
busy, which made such wonder
full success when presented last win
ter before the Arts Club of Wash
ington with Mr.. Bleyden. Mrs. Clyde
B. Aitchison, and Mr.. Murray. Mr..
Bleyden has sung about eighty-tive
leading opera roles in Europe, and
in practically every important city
in the United States and Canada.
In conversation with the Musical
Editor of the Herald the other day,
Mr.. Bleyden said:
There is still a greatly mistaken
and prevailing opinion among the
great majority of the people of this
country that the foreigner is the
better singer and musician. This Is
not the truth by any means, for not
only is the American SURPRISING the
European in commerce and In busi-
ness. but he is also forging far
ahead in the field of music.
The greatest musical center of
the world prior TO the great war
was Germany, who provided herself
with about twelve first-class opera
houses. each one almost equaling
our own wonderful Metropolitan
Opera House. Besides these" added
Mr.. Bleyden. there were in Ger
many. about IFS other very excel
lent opera houses supported by the
state and municipalities. In each
and every one of these opera houses,
there were at least from one to half
a dozen American singers, and in
practically every instance. they
were the superiors of the Germans.
There is a longing existing in
every human heart that is wander
ing on foreign shores to return to
its own country. The opera singer
Is no exception to this natural feel
ing. But here is where the tragedy
for the American singer comes in
Mr.. Bleyden then dwelt upon the
tremendously important fact that
after an American had reached a
place of prominence in the opera
field in Germany. or France, or in
Italy, and desired to, return to this
country there was no. place where
his experience would be welcomed.
