New-York tribune., 1921-05-15

Orchestra was under the late Major
Higginson, who, while ,sympathizing
with organized labor, refused to permit
il to dictate his conduct with regard to
artistic philanthropy. Or an orchestra
might be brought in corpore from
Europe, where q horde Of musicians
have their eyes directed toward DOLLAR
land" The law against the importation
OF contract labor would be no obstacle
if the judicial decision is still valid
that musicians are artists. not Iaborers
Why Not Soviet Orchestra?
But there still seems to US to be a.
third solution of the problem-one
which ought to appeal to the musicians
union as constituted, or directed, at
present. 1t is return to the CO.
operative system under which the
Philharmonic Society was organized in
1842 and under which it fourished, to
the great advancement OF musical cul-
ture, until the Pulitzer endowment led
to its reorganization and the creation
OF the present woeful conditions. Here
the present constitution of all the
I orchestras comes in for consideration
| and there may be no harm in hurried
historical retrospect.
Though we have heard things which
indicated that all of our present con-
ductors are not aware of the fact
| orchestras existed in America for a
hundred years or so before any of the
conductors was born. At first the
members of these orchestras were
chiefly men Of English birth. Some of
them sat in the band at the Handel
Centennial Commemoration in West
minister Abbey in 1885. There were alao
some Frenchmen and Italians. In the
early decades of the nineteenth century
the influx of German musicians began
to make itself felt, and when the Phil
| harmonic Society was organized
(through the initiative of u. C. Hill. a
Vermont Yankee, one-half of the mu-
slcians were German immigrants, those
of English birth ranking second and
native Americans third. The German
contingent grew steadily within the
first two decades of the society's his
tory and continued to be its dominant
factor until few years ago. There
was nothing surprising in this The
youth of America were not, they are
rot now, disposed to take UP orchestral
playing as livelihood. In Europe
especially in Germany, orchestral musi-
clans were sort of caste, and from
them our bands were recruited almost
exclusively until the beginning of a
Russian-Jewish invasion less than ten
years ago. There were enough native
born young musicians, sons of German
Immigrants, in New York fifteen wears
or SO ago to enable Mr.. Sam Franko to
experiment with an American Orches-
ira, but for the solo winds he had to
depend upon the element of foreign
birth. Now the dominant element in
the string choirs tfor the solo winds
we are largely dependent on France,

John Cumberland Longs
To Escape From Farce
And Play Serious Parts

John Cumberland, the principal far
ceur In the conspicuously farcical and
eminsntly successful Ladies' Night -
at the Eltinge Theater, is not generally
known as 8 disciple of Richard Mans
field and former member of that
famous actors company, but such is
the case.
Association with beds, boudoirs and
baths in series of farces from "Twin
Beds" down to Ladies' Night" has
completely obliterated Mr.. Cumber-
lands glories from his 'scutcheon, as
far as the public is concerned. But
John himself is still sentimentally
reminiscent and nobiy ambitious. He
admits that hs doesn't like to play in
so-called bedroom farces, even when
the locale has been transferred to a
Turkish bath-but then no man can es-
cape Ahis talent.
Not only was Mr.. Cumberland for
several seasons member OF Mans
fields company, but on one or two ac-
casions he came very favorably to the
great mans notice. Mansfield once
told his stage manager he needed q
short man with a cockney accent. The
stage manager called for volunteers and
Cumberland responded. He was not
aware of the possession Of cockney
accent, but lie was short and he knew
that Mansfield expected every member
of his organization to volunteer for
everything. Mansfield was fond of
sarcasm, and he was best in this form

the Philharmonic Society had been for
over sixty years of its life; but the
plan was abandoned, we believe, when
men Of wealth were found willing to
assume the burden OF giving concerts
on basis like that Of the Philhar-
monic and Symphony societies. If
these men are inclined to put down
the burden why should not the play-
ers themselves prove their sincerity
