BOLSHEVK MUSICIAN
PUZZLES HIS CRITICS

A recent article in 'TRe Nation"
contrasted the two Russian pianists,
Sergei Rachmaninoff and Prokofien
and the Russian spirit which they
represent. "Rachmaninof" II says,
belongs TO the old Russia, the Rus
sia eE the Romanos with its ardent
romanticism and gorgeous pagentry.
"ProkofeT, on the other hand, is
distinctly a product OF the intellec-
tual and elemental forces now in up
heavaL There is a primitive simpli-
city and strength about him so
strangely at variance with the COM
plexities OF modern existence that
at first he is difficult to classify.
"The critics call him Bolshevist,
and to carry out the simile proceeded
to find in his playing and in his COM
positions all the bestiality lately as
ISOLATED with Bolshevism. But ugli-
ness is not bestiality. and in spite of
or perhaps because of the critics. the
large crowds who came out OF Gu
riosity to hear ear-splitting noises and
terrifying cacaphonies, remained to
applaud vigorously the enchanting
melodies-the marvellous rhythmic ef-
fects evoked by this tall, slim, blond
young man."

Nine. sylvia greatly delighted her
hostesses by singing a very interest

songs, in which she was accompanied
by her regular accompanied. Miss VOL

Socially well known in Washington,
Margharita sylvia will be doubly ap-
preciated in her role as an advocate
for Washington's most successful ex-
pertinent in opera by and for the peoi
pie that has been brought about in
the Washington Opera Company, IN
der the direction of Edouard Albion.
So excellent have been the reports
of the performance of Faust" by this
company, with Arnold Volpe as con-
ductor, that Nine. sylvia has volun-
teered to sing the role of Carmen
in the next production, giving her
services to the establishing of this
opera movement that Is growing into
the life of the city.

Washington Opera Orchestra.

The permanent organization of the
Washington Opera Orchestra was ef-
fected on Saturday afternoon. At a
previous meeting. the musicians play
ing with the company had mapped out
a tentative plan for furthering and
perfecting the work of the orchestra.
In accord with this plan, the first
chairs will now be paid in order to
guarantee the attendance of the nu-
cleus of the orchestra who would have
to be released from other engage
ments for the week of opera. Others
not dependent upon their musical en-
gagements for their income will play
for their own pleasure and develop
ment and to promote this splendid
movement for opera in the National
Capital.
The Musicians Union of the city is
cooperating with the work. The
splendid civic spirit of these musi-
clans marks a new era in music for
America. Between forty five and
fifty men have signed an agreement
to attend rehearsals and perform.

The action of the opera was stopped
entirely while Mccormack and others
pulled Sammarco from the bed. and
was held UP further while they en-
deavored to restore the bed TO Its

This last was necessary because
Carmen Melis was at that moment

Philadelphia Orchestra, Tuesday.
The feature of the third concert
by the Philadelphia Orchestra in
Washington, at the New National
Theater on Tuesday afternoon. jan
uary 13, will be the appearance OF
Alfred Cortot as soloist. Conceded
by the most eminent musicians of
Europe to be the most perfect eA-
cmplar of the French school Of piano
playing. Cortot had never appeared
in this country until last season.
Touring the country with the Paris
Conservatoire Orchestra, and, after its
return to France, playing with all the
leading American symphony or
chestras and in recital in most of the
large cities o fthe East, his success
was nothing short of sensational
One New York critic remarked, on
the occasion of his recital in that
city, that 'the applause and cheers
after Mr.. Cortots playing Of Chopin's
twenty-four preludes has only been
paralleled here when Mr.. Paderewski
has played"
This season he will feature the
third concerto of Rachmaninoff, the
latest creation for piano and orches-
ira by the giant OF all the Russians {"
This concerto, which Mr.. Cortot will
play in Washington, is dedicated by
the composer to Josef Hofmann. Like
all Rachmaninoffs compositions, 1t
is essentially Russian in thought and
expression, possessing. however, more
or the spirit of revelry which charac-
terizes Schumann than the brilliance
of a Liszt or Rubinstein.
Conductor Leopold Stokowski will
give the Schuman Symphony, No. ., in
c major, and the overture to Wag-
ner's Die Meistersingers." Seats may
be had at the offices of T. Arthur
