Music Notes

Lnglsh newspaper reports Of the
concerts given there by the New York
Symphony Orchestra are at hand. In
The Manchester Guardian" Ernest
Newman wrote of the first perform
ance at Queens Hall, on June Is:
The New York Symphony Orchestra
gave the first Of its four projected con-
certs on Monday. 1t is an excellent
organization, fit to compare with the
finest we have ever heard in this
country; some of the wood wind and
the brass tone is particularly beauti-
luI. Mr.. Walter Damrosch strikes one
as dlsclpIlnarian rather than a con-
ductor OF temperament. His 'Meister-
singer overture had something CT that
Rlchterian heaviness that we have now
outgrown, and his Eroica Svmphonv
was too full of merely caprIcious
nuances. Both he and the orchestra
were most brilliant in a selection from
RavePs Daphnis and Chloe ballet,
where the music was left to speak for
Itself and all Ravels cleverness came
over to us without contortions and
without dilution"
The Daily Telegraph" review of the
same concert was as follows:

Shepherds Sculptor Wins Prize

A young shepherd sculptor, Paul
Darde. has" won the French national
prize for sculpture The stories Of
Darde, as told in the English news
papers, emphasize the dramatic eli
max of the young mans career,
career which started in the Ceveanes
with sheep tending and resulted in
winning the national prize
According to the story of Darde.
which reads like that of KIM David,
the boy attracted the attention of an
art professor who was on a holiday
in the Cevennes. The professor was
impressed with the boys skill in
cutting animals and figures with an
old jack-knife out of wood and soft
stone.
Darde was taken to Paris through
the influence Of the professor, where
he entered the National School of Art.
There being little the Paris school
could teach him, the young sculptor
went to Italy to study the work of
such masters as Michael Angelo and
Donatello. Later, he worked for a
short time in the studio Of Rodin.
Following the war, Darde went back
to his native Cevennes and there did
the work which has won his present
honor for him. The two pieces which
have been on exhibition at the Salon
in Paris this summer represent first
fawn crouching and medita.:ve and
the second the beautiful head of a.
faintlng woman, tormented with one
hundred serpents. The latter he calls

Architectural Competition

AN interesting architectural competi-
ton was held recently by the Beaux-
Arts Institute of Design, the society
composed Of American architects who
nave studied at the Ecole des Beaux-
Arts in Paris, for prizes that were do
mated by Harry Allan Jacobs, one Of
the members Of the society.
The subject was the design of a
traffic signal tower. similar to those
that have been installed recently in
ffth Avenue by Deputy Police Com
missioner Harriss. The programs for
the competition were sent to all of the
colleges and architectural schools IN
the country, and more than fifty de-
signs were sent in by the students.
They ali show a practical as we'll as
aH artistic solution Of the problem.
The inspiration of the idea comes from
the newspaper and poster kiosk of the
Paris boulevards.
The first prize was given to George
N. Paul, Of the Carnegie Institute of
Technology, Pittsburgh; the second
prize to A. 0. Ahlberg, of Denver. and
the third to G. W. Trofast- Gillette. of
Columbia University.
The jury Of award consisted Of Fred
erick Cooley, R. II. Dana IT,, J. w

just now it is the orchestra that mat
ters, and at once be it said the tone is
fine all round. That Of the strings,
and especially of the 'cellos, is silky
and intensely smooth, and SO is that of
the brass. though. as the latter was the
more powerful, it sometimes overpow-
cred, in however slight a degree, the
other. In the actual performance Mr.
Damrosch seemed a little inclined to
dot sundry i's' and cross sundry rs
that we usually find left to look after
themselves, as in the concluding
phrases of the Wagner overture and in
the 'Eroica' But, take it all in all, there
was little of polnt-making. and the
music on the whole was allowed to say
its own say. There was a good deal Of
sincere enthusiasm exhibited by an au-
dience that in these days must be con-
sidered large, and undoubtedly Mr..
Damrosch and his men may feel fiat
tered that their opening performance
was an uneouivocal success"
OF later concert the same paper
stated:
Last night at the Queens Hall we
were permitted once again to hear some
fine playing by our American visitors
the New York Symphony Orchestra.
Their distinguished conductor. Mr.
Walter Damrosch, guided them through
the performance of three works, two
universally known-the Jupiter sym
phony of Mozart and the New World
symphony of Dvorak-and the third a
Negro Rhapsody for piano and or
chestra by the American pianist John
Powell, the COMPOSER playing the solo
part. Of the Jupiter we had an in
terpretation more brilliant than sensi-
tive, more disciplined than sponta-
neous; but the string tone throughout
was beautiful. the brass was never too
brazen. and the percussion never too
prominent. Some of US would have
preferred the Menuetto played rather
less frigidly and the whole work re-
garded from not quite 50 Beethovenish
a point Of view The Dvorak sym
phony was another excellent illustra-
ton of the orchestra's esprit de corps ;
and there were rhythmic differences be-
tween the American and our own treat
ment Of one or two themes here that
should have been interesting to Eng
lish conductors. The little piano CON
certo which ended the program gave the
composer pianist an opportunity to dis
play his gifts brilliantly. If one were
to have accepted literally, beforehand,
the description of the rhapsody as
given in the program notes one would
surely have been disappointed, for
there was naught in the music to sug.-
gest some 'thunderous and brutal
presentment of the dance theme or a
Sinister blow on the tom-tom, or that
the violins in a particular passage,
marked 'tremolo,' indicated some Turk
ing horror approaching and preparing
to pounce upon it's victim One felt,
instead. that the rhapsody was a very
jolly piece of work. full CT II gh spirits

Early Portraits at Ehrich's

Eighteen early American portraits
make up the summer exhibition at the
Enrich gallery. Three paintings by
John Wolaston. "Portrait Of an Ameri-
can Admiral" "Mr. Joseph Allen" and
Mrs. Joseph Allen" represent the
best OF that early type Of rather aus
tere painting.
Whether 1t was that only severe
looking persons could afford to have
their portraits made OF that tho peo-
pie Of those days would all seem
rather stiff and homely to our modern
eyes remains a question. Neverthe-
