Boston, Mass, July 19.-Mme.
Schumann-Heink, in an interview
with DIN Downes, musical critic for
a Boston paper yesterday, was ask
ing some reflections after AZ success
full years on the stage. The famous
grand opera star told the critic how
she enjoyed being an American in
spite of her German ancestry. she
said that one among her happicst
"reminiscences was the memory of her
friendship with Negroes. Here are the
words in which tn great singer
voiced her love and sympathy for Ne
groes:
And one more thing. This is not
a thing you asked, but l wish you
would publish it, Why do we con-
tinue to treat the colored race with
prejudice? Let me tell you that if it
were Negroes who worked our mines
and industries instead of the scour-
ngs of foreign nations we would not
have the outrages, the Bolshevism, the
anarchy which has been and is so
threatening a symptom in American
industrial life.
These Negroes-how they fought
in the war! How you would be
thrilled if | were to tell you the anec-
dotes Of one of my sons who had
work in preparing and drilling a Ne
gro regiment,a what occurred when
those men were brought out to drill
for the first time and it was explained
to them what it meant to wear the
American uniform. Some of the
things were funny. Some of them
were simply tremendous.
'Did they not fight? Are they not
intelligent Will they not repay cour-
tesy and kindness with the same? |
know. | am living in Chicago in what
is now near Negro quarters. Almost
next door to me is a public school
where there are many Negro chill
dren. Let me tell you that not once,
through all those terrible race riots,
not since I.have been in that house,
now for many years, has single
flower in my garden been touched, a
single discourtesy of any kind shown
me. There is no safer place in the
city, no place where | am more at
home, more secure, unmolested.

1T is a wonderful people; a people
with a genius of its own and genius
certain to be of great value to Ameri-

treat these people unfairly and-one
of the greatest horrors of civilization

you like. 1t may make some people
very angry. but | ask this question;
Where there is a lynching is it invari-
ably the fault of the Negro We be
lieve in courts and in the settling of
wrongs without bloodshed.
Cannot all of us-you, born here;
the Negro, born here; myself, come
from a foreign land-can we not all

MUSIC NOTES
BY Mildred Bryant Jones.
MEMORlIING PA RT

The practice Of playing in public
With notes is almost a thing of the
past. In fact it is so rarely done now
that even an audience that is not in
clined to be critical will either openly
wonder why It is done or show its
disapproval by an utter lack of
warmth in its applause. Many solo
lists. both vocal and instrumental,
have Immediately lost the moral sup
port Of the audience when appearing
on the stage with notes before them.
As Il general thing either poor
memory or lack of time for prepare
ton is the excuse offered. The latter
exepza of course should not and can
not be tolerated. The former must
be locked into
Good memory is first Of all mat
ter of>eood health, interest and pf2c-
tic. If The physical vitality is low,
interest and practice will avail little.
Systematic training Of the memory IS
most desirable. Some musicians with
especially rctentivc memories say
that thcV do not really know how
their Dowcr was acquired. Granted
thai this might be true-it argues
nothing save that their training was
uuconsciously received. Good teach
ers Of music will start early in the
musical life of pupil to give sys-
tematic and definite instruction IN
the matter Of memorizing. Of course
when this instruction is accompanied
by Il tlue ear and natural aptitude
for retaining sounds, the whole pro-
ceduHe is easy. However the most
faulty memory can with proper ef-
fort and instruction be made reli-

ible for the success of DeKoven

song writer. Nine. Schumann-Heink

his compositions and featured one of
