Boston music company.
An rule, the music provided by or
chestras at the leading motion picture
palaces in this city is adequate, If not
excellent. AS has been stated before
on this page, in point of fitness, variety
and careful choosing the palm belongs to
the twin theaters, the Rialto and the
Rivoli. At both houses not only is
the music for the orchestral accom-
paniment selected with peculiar skill
from apparently inexhaustible sources,
ranging from the classics to chanson
by Reynaldo Hahn, but the officiating
organists are possessed Of tact, in
telligence, imagination and facility.
Unfortunately this is seldom the
case with the average pianist and or
ganist heard in picture houses. And it
is chiefly for these offenders that the
Lang-West volume has been devised.
OF course, a monumental knowledge of
music cannot be expected individually
from these sorely tried members of
the musical community, but failing
this there should be some rude notion
of improvisation and an emotional
alertness that should forbid the repe-
tition of eight or ten pieces regard
less Of their kinship with the doings
on the screen.
Some weeks ago an Oriental picture,
1.-THE Breath of the Gods" afforded
chance to at least one pianist of in
dulging in mass of Oriental or
pseudo Oriental literature obtainable
for this instrument. But no. Not one
Oriental suggestion graced the mus-
cal accompaniment to story of
Japan, and funeral procession in the
streets Of Yokohama marched to the
strains Of Beethoven's "Funeral March,"
1t is to be hoped that pianists and
organists will avail themselves large
ly Of the suggestions made by Miss
Lang and Mr.. West Managers might
include a copy with their contracts.
The chapter on Mental Alertness"
is particularly valuable. But no less
so is the section on "Improvisation"
or the pages on "Wcekly New Pict-
ures," "Peculiarities of Organ Tech
nique," "The Identification of Tone
Colors," Especial Effects and How to
Produce Them"

Some recently completed pages of this

lures of the exhibition.
The upper floor of the library is de-
voted to sketches in color by the paint
ers of Old Lyme. These transcriptions
direct from nature are of greater in
terest, perhaps, than the larger paint
ings shown on the floor below. Nearly
all the artists of the colony are rep
resented by from six to a dozen
sketches, and in evidence of appre-
citation not confined to members of
the profession is the fact that "sold"
cards appear on large number of
the panels. In one instance six
sketches, the artists entire contribu-
ton, have been purchased since the
exhibition opened.

Eugene Goossens's Modern Tendencies

Eugene Goossens's Modern Tendencies
Eugene Goossens, modern of the
moderns, whose "By the Tarn" and
Eternal Rhythm" will, according to
report, be played by the Chicago Or
chestra next season has written a
pamphlet, Modern Tendencies in
Music,' published in London by the
Arts League of Service. Since this
composer is as yet in the process of
development, his opinions are valuable
as an expression of ideas and striv
ings by one whose music is still in
the period of tending" If, however.
he had been more communicative re-
garding his personal aims, instead of
confning himself to his views about
contemporaries, the little book would
have gained in interest.
AS it is, he deals with representative
French, Russian, Italian and Spanish
composers. with q parenthesis on Ger
man music, and then turns to a more
intimate consideration of British con-
temporaries. 1t appears to be his pur
pose to point cut common tendencies
shown by the varied efforts of these
men.
Like all modernists, the writer laws
great stress on the value of individu-
ality. "Music In England is not mat
ter of schools, but of individual
achievement" he says. More indi-
vidualism. more heroes. See what q
lot Of them there are" The ideal aims
for modern music he considers repre-
sented by Stravinsky, and shows an
inclination to judge new works by their
conformance to these aims. Yet it is
scarcely possible to agree with intense
individualism at the sacrifice of crafts
manship, and are there really as many
heroes among present day composers
as Mr.. Goossens imagines? Further
more, is r OF the twentieth century in
its very zeal for the excessively per-
sonal responsible rather for mountain
Of freakish experiments than for an
imposing number Of works destined to
survive?

MADE FIRST OYSTER COCKTAIL
Concocton That Has Won the Heart
of the World Is Credited to
Drunken Sailor.

If the Manhattan cocktail owed its
origin to New York city, no less does
the oyster cocktail claim San Fran
cisco as its own home town, says the
Pacific Coast Hotel Gazette. Older
San Franciscans know this, but the
younger generation simply accepted
the oyster cocktail because it was good
and never bothered to inquire as to
its origin or birthplace. But to San
Francisco it belongs, and this Is the
story of its birth.
In the '30s John Monaghan, who
kept stall In the old California mar
ket, specialized in oysters and one
morning a sailor, listing badly from
too much liquor, stopped at Morag-
hans place and demanded a bowl Of
oysters. He wanted them served with
out their shells, and announced his
ability and intention 20 consume
peck of them, adding for Moraghan's
benefit that he had the price where
with to pay. Monaghan served the
sailor about a quart of the small
California oysters and then the Gus
toner. eylng the array Of condiments
along the counter started to do some
of the werdest seasoning known. He
put tabascO sauce, horseradish, Wor-
cestershire, tomato catsup, salt, pep
per and vinegar into the bowl of oys-
tera and mopped up the combination
IN glee, smacking his lips over every
spoonful. Then he asked for another
helping, and persuaded Monaghan to
sample the mess. Monaghan did so,
and smacked his lips, too.
The gastronomic yagary of drunk
en- sailor resulted in something so
rare, so appetizing that Monaghan
knew It would become a favOrite with
his customers, and the next day sign
appeared upon the counter announcing
10 the public that oyster cocktails were
for sale at ten cents each. They made
an instantaneous hit with the public
and their popularity grew until world
wide fame was theirs, and Monaghan
deserves the credit for realizing that
all good dishes are not thought out In
sober senses, and that even a drunken
sailor may have inventive culinary ca

The Alton river divided Lyndon ex-
actly in halves. There was little
choice between the east side and the
west side as to residential quaitca-
tions, although the latter included the
business section of the town.
BY a strange coincidence the social
leader in the east town was Mrs. Ed
ward Browne. and the dominating lady
of the west was Mrs. Edward Brown,
with the e. please remember" the
east side empress Of style and fashion
would remark when introduced for
the first time. 1--WE run back to the
BrOwne-BurdettS of Worcestershire,

the family at the time of Charles IL.
"Without the e. so as to avoid CON
fusion" fearlessly remarked the queen
Of the west side domain. 1--WE are
of the branch Of the parliamentary
Brown family Of Wotton, l under
stand"
So the social leader with the sc"
and her rival without it assumed great
airs and strOve to eclipse each other
in the eyes of their respective adher-
ents. EXclusiveness became the es-
sence of the combat between the two
clqueS Thus, Mrs Browne patrOnized
the church element and Mrs. Brown
the business set. 1t was continuous
rivalry between the vaunted high aes-
thetic attitude of those borrowing a
certain supremacy as TO art and lit
erasure and their competitors who
counted bankers and other real men
Of wealth and position in their ranks.
Never did the east side, engineered
by Mrs. Browne, announce some high
social function that it was not fol-
lowed by one arranged by Mrs. Brown.
Now, by another strange coincidence,
Miss Edna Browne had become ac-
quainted with young Mr.. Walton
Brown. The restrictions which shut
them out from meeting socially in any
general way made no difference to
them. They laughed mutually at the
conventional restrictions which, in a
measure separated them as though
they were feudists and enemies.
A caller upon Mrs. Brown one day
set ball rolling that was not destined
to relapse into inertia until 1t had con-
Siderably depressed the high social
notions of both the Brown and the
Browne element. The visitor brought
some news to Mrs. Brown that stirred
her up greatly.
"Confdentially," impaired this gos-
sip, II learn that Mrs. Browne has en-
ployed an expert to trace the genoa

Brown. "Thank you for the informa-

A pretty wedding took place last
Tuesday when Martha, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Thurow, was married
to Arthur Birkholz. The bride was
dressed in white silk and wore veil
and acrried a boquet of roses, The
bride was attended by her sister, Helen
and Lorena Birkholz, sister of the
groom They were dressed il "lue and
pink and carried carnations. The best
men were Leonard Rusch of Appleton
and August Boetcher of WauSau. The
marriage took place in the Lutheran
church at Brillion, Rev. Sauer official
ing. After the ceremony a reception
was held az the brides home to only
close relatives. The young couple left
on a honeymood trip to Milwaukee and
Chicago. They will reside on the
groom's farm near RcedsyiIlc, Mrs
Birkholz is engaged in teaching and
will continue the work till the end of
the term.
