Have you ever heard OF the COM

gems" in the opinion OF Ed Droop,
who Is an example of the real and
artistic amateur" These short
works were being played by Mr.
Droop in the Steinway booth at the
music show, when he became aware
that he had large audience.
Feeling in the mood. he played on
for awhile. holding his audience, as
1t proved, in interested speculation as
well as real appreciation of the art of
this pianist who is too seldom heard
Before he had finished he had given
an hours recital.
II was here. and through his art OF
Interpretation, that n new word in
music was spoken to a number OF mu-
sicians in New York.
The incident brought up a plea for
the true "amateur"--not the student
who is struggling to arrive under the
guise of this name--but the musician
who Is not professional and yet who
deserves TO be heard.
Organize for washington.
"All were amateurs once" Mr..
Droop points out.
Several lessons come home to us
from the concerted effort of these
music dealers who have made posi-
BILE the greatest Music Show ever held
in America.
First. it proves how, from many
small sums. big music fund may
develop a great activity.
Second. il shows how civic re-
sponsibility is needed and civil aid
that can be organized in this practi-
cal manner-for the budding talent
that must be tried out.
Third. that the public stands ready
TO subscribe to a workable plan to
bring them the best at a possible
price.
As one dealer puts it in speaking
of his photograph artists: There
are Just two ways to hear these great

tan of New York;

whether we get II from one individual
or from an aggregate public interest
but bounty Is needed to foster art.
