MARION HARRIS Is
UP-TO-DATE DOCTOR

The up-to-date cure for the
blues" seems to be the modern
blues" song. On this basis Marion
Harris is one of the greatest doc
tors of today. This attractive little
vaudeville artist has agreed to make
records exclusively for Columbia.
Her first four Columbia Records to
be taken as prescriptions for the
blues" are: Left All Alone Again
Blues" from The Night Boat
Everybody But Ne" The st. Louis
Blues" and "Homesickness Blues"
Al Jolson's song. In Sweet Sep
tember," describes the loss of his
heart. He sings of the mischief and
mandolin, flowers and fervor with
which a smiling, beguiling maiden
worked the charm. This song is
coupled with Frank Crumit's Early
in the Morning down on the
Farm)" with it's unique "barnyard
accompaniment.
Somehow" the fox-trot in which
Ted Lewis leads his famous Jazz
Band, is all his own in many ways.
He not only composed the music and
leads his band, but plays the saxo-
phone in IL as well. This selection
is coupled with the medley foxtrot,
Il Know Why" by Morrison's Jazz
Orchestra.

MUSIC AN AID
'T0INDUSTRIES
Utility to Workers Learned
By This Country in
Late War.

Music and industry are new
Combination-one of the by-products
of the war" says c. NJ. Tremaine,
director of the National Bureau for
the Advancement of Music.
Its relation to industry is oc-
cupying the attention of a larger
number of the heads of industrial
plants, big and little, every day.
Those having several plants and who
have tested the value of music in
one establishment adopt 1t for all,
while the workers are finding that
music brings a refreshing break in
to the monotony of the days tasks
and are welcoming II in steadily in
creasing numbers. This is true even
of those who at first viewed 1t with
Indifference and possibly in some
ca Ses with prejudice, without know
ing why except that music was an
innovation and was introduced from
the outside.
The changed attitude is due to the
direct benefits and pleasure which
they derive from 1t. Thus the idea
has been spreading throughout the
country and will continue to spread
as do all ideas which have been
found practical and mutually help
full TO all. Happiness and prosperity
among men, both in industrial and
social life, come from getting ac-
quainted. making friendships, CO.

TALKING MACHINE
PERFECT IN 25 YEARS

Eldridge r. Johnson. president OF
the Victor Talking Machine Com
pany. in a recent interview in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger took oc-
casion to prOphesy that it will take
twenty-five years more to perfect
the talking machine and that in the
end 1t will play as important a role
in the educational field as the
printing press does today.
An editorial on this interview in
the Talking Machine World calls at
tention to the fact that the talking
machine has been developed to its
present satisfactory form within a
period of twenty-five years, and
that the possibilities Of TWENTY-FIVE
years more of development work ap-
pears to be tremendous. Along just
what lines the progress will be
made remains to be seen, bu. it is
certain that there are many bright
minds in the industry who are an
ceasingly studying and inventinE
with a view to bringing about i'm
prOvements that will represent real
advancement in talking machine
and record construction and opera
ton. Having passed the experiment
tai stage, future developments. un-
less they are distinctly revolution
ary. must of necessity be rather
slow, but the fact that the leaders
Of the industry realize that absolute
perfection has not yet been attain
ed holds forth distinct promise and
is an earnest of continuous effort
toward new achievements.

ORGAN'SFUTURE RESTS
UPON GOOD MUSIC

At the second annual meeting of
the Organ Builders Association, of
America, recently held in New
York, 1t was stated that the future
of the pipe organ depends upon the
widespread appreciation and desire
for good music than upon anything
else. A speaker said:
THE pipe organ is especially a
master instrument. 1t is the favorite
instrument of the real music lover,
but 1t is expensive because Of its
very nature. Unless you can so
weave the desire for the use Of good
music into the very fabric of the
life of our people the demand for
pipe organs will always be limited.
IF am not mistaken, the organ
builder with his expensive master
instrument, cannot do much to
create the desire by the individual
prospective customer as the seller
of talking machines can. The pipe
organ customer usually has not only
the desire but the fixed determine
ton to purchase an organ even be-
fore the builder hears of him.
Therefore the promotion of music,
which is the basis of the determine
tion of protential customers to buy
an organ. is especially important"

PUPILS HELPED
BY RECORDS
Classes in Typewriting and
Penmanship Are
Benefited.

The universal impulse of rhythm
is one of the first to awaken in a
race or in child. Man is a rhy-
thmic being, born into a rhythmic
universe. Motion always attracts.
The rhythmic element in man is not
then the product of culture. it is
inherent
1t is stated by the Columbia
Graphophone Company that classes
in typewriting respond at once to
this universal appeal of rhythm. In
accuracy, speed and ease pupils gain
almost incredible results through
the use of selected rhythmic records.
The music, other than furnishing
the rhythmic basis for work, tends
to decrease the natural tenseness
which accompanies any effort to
work accurately as we'll as fast. An
atmosphere of pleasant stimulation
and enjoyment displaces one of re-
strain and nervous confusion. Time
is saved, for unconsciously all pupils
go on working until the musical
selection is finished.
The basis of good penmanship is
rhythmic movement. The penman-
ship lesson is one that children n
proVerbially dislike, because of its
monotony.

SHAW BELIEVES IN
ENCOURAGING MUSIC

That noted philosopher and caus-
tic writer, George Bernard Shaw. in
discussing the vital part music
should play in these days OF recon-
struCtion and social disturbance,
points out that music is one of the
great panaCeas, and that art, and
especially the art of music, is a
natural outlet which should be en-
couraged. In an address recently
delivered before the British Musical
Society. Mr.. Shaw urged populariza-
tion Of music whereby every mu-
nicipaIity would maintain "a COM
petent symphony orchestra, so that
no child in the country should be
be brought up without having ac-
cess to the best music"
1t is a matter Of public impor-
tanCe." Shaw continued. Towns
would be healthier and public taxes
lower if they had an abundance and
generous provision for art Vice
leads to drunkenness and degrada-
tion Of character. which is not only
a loss to the community but con-
tributes materially to high taxes.
If that were explained to taxpayers
who oppose municipal enterprises
through fear of higher taxes, 1
think they would be persuaded that,
in tH- long run. publicly subsidized
music would be, not ar extrava-
gance, but a great economy"

Henry L Grant, director of the
Washington Conservatory OF Mu-
sic, was elected president of the
National Association of Negro Mu-
sicians at it's recent second annual

DAMROSCH TERMED
GREAT AND GENEROUS

In the historic castle of Milan,
forever immortalized by Leonardo
da Vinci. a most cordial reception
was rendered by the authorities of
that city to Walter Damrosch and
his orchestra after their very sue
cessful tour of Italy last spring.
This, perhaps, is already known.
But what is not known Is that.
during the reception, Walter Dam
rosch, turning toward Signora Tos-
canini, raised his wine-glass and
drank to the full success of the
forthcoming concert tour in Amer
lea of Toscanini and La Scala Or
chestra.
This unusual act of courtesy and
liberal recognition of one conductor
for another caused Robert Under
wood johnson. American Ambassa-
dor to Rome, to exclaim with pride.
Walter Damrosch is not only a
great musician, but he is also a
great and generous man"

DANCER COMES
BACK TOU.S.
Pavlowa Brings Novelties
After Several Years
Absence.

Returning to America after an
absence Of several years, Anna Paw
Iowa is to bring a large repertoire
Of ballets and advertisements about
equally divided between new crea-
tions and those which she made
popular in former tours Of this
country. Mile. Pavlowa has made
up her list to include five ballets
most popular in her former Ameri-
can tours: Amarillo" Chopin
lana" "Flora's Awakening" ''Gis-
ellie" and "Snowfakes," with six
others new to this country: "Au-
tumn Leaves" The Fauns." 'Mexi-
can Dances" La Peri" Schubert
lana" and "Thais" Besides these
eleven old and new ballets, the rep
ertoire will include thirty-two di-
vertisseuent fourteen of which
are new to this country, and the
other eighteen revivals.
Autumn Leaves" is described as
a choregraphic poem by Anna Paw
Iowa to the music OF Chopin. The
Fauns" is not the familiar concep-
ton to Debussys music formerly
seen here, but a new ballet with
music by Satz. The Mexican
Dances" were arranged and staged
in Mexico City two years ago with
music by Castro Padilla.
La PERI has been given only in
Buenos Aires, Paris. and London {;
its conception is by Ivan Clustine
and its music is a symphonic work
highly favored of European sym
phony orchestras, by Paul Dukas.
"Schubertiana" is a classic ballet
with a grouping OF popular Shubert
compositions after the method Of
the well-remembered "Chopiniana-" &"
but of widely different INSTALLATION.
The "Thais" ballet is from Mas
senet's famous opera, but has never
been given with the opera in this
country, and is seldom so presented
in Europe
