Flonzaley Quartet in
First Concert of Season
Excellent Program Given a,
Aeolian Hall; Mime. Frijsh
Heard i'm Recital

The Flonzaley Quartet gave it's first
concert Of the season last night at
Aeolian Hall. A feature of the pro-
gram was Enesco's Quartet in E fiat
major, dedicated to the quartet, which
was played from manuscript. Unfor-
tunately all the art of these dis
tinguishsd musicians could not sur
mount the weakness of this work
which from beginning to end was re-
markable for little else but extreme
hanality. IN the othar numbers on the
program Mozart's Quartet in D major
and Beethoven's Quartet in d major,
Op. 1S. No. 3, the audience was per
mitted to enjoy to the fullest extent
the high merits OF the Flonxaleys, so
often justly praised.
At the same time ia Town Hall Ame.
Povla Frijsh gave recital. Before
the recital the indulgence OF the audi
ence was asked by Nine Friish for
appearing on the stage with cane.
owing to painful accident to her

days ago. Nine. Friish is well known
as an admirable interpreter Of songs
by composers of many nationalities.
She again proved herself an artist OF
high rank. particularly in tho songs
by French and Scandinavian compos-
ers. Only occasionally, when the sing

Negro Spiritual in
'TheOpen Door'Full
OF Rare Eloquence
'Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray
is Most Striking Feature
OF Unusual Pageant ii
Honor of Atlanta School
By II. f. Krahbiel

There was much that was admirable
in the pageant called "The Open Door,"
which was performed at Carnegie Hall
last night to commemorate tho hftietb
anniversary Of the founding of Atlanta
University, but only ono moment which
in conception and execution was su-
prcmely thrilling. In this moment
beautiful Afro-American spiritual"
was sung with singular pathos. which
was heightened by tho picture Of slave
women bending at labor under the
suspension of man who symbolized
Greed in the a!lcgory. The spiritual
was Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" in
the pitifully quavering solo voices and
touching refrain of which there spoke
the spirit which makes foksong the
most truthful and moving music in
the world. The cloquence Of this num-
ber was approached in some of the
hymns sung by the choir before the
spectacle began, but never in those
hands with the purpose of heightcning
their artistic effect
We have occasionally been led into
larger expectations by the original ere
ations of Afro-American composers,
like Harry Z. Burleigh, william H.
Tyers and Nathaniel Dett, all of whom
figured on last nights program, bpt
have oftener than not been disanpont-
ed by their failure to understand how
to utilize the treasure which the songs
of the slaves of our South put into their
hands Characteristic clements are dis
cardcd and alloys mixed with the
precious metal The refrain is a primi-
tive clement of these songs and po-
tent one. What affectation of art is it
that prompted the singing of go Down,
Moses" by solo voice in a setting Of
modern harmonies and without the up
lit and dramatic propulsion Of the
choral refrain, LET my people go!"
That rs the heart of the song, and with
80 eor@ choir az sang last night with
tvonflation of bass tone unmatched
in richness by any orsanizatic~- in the
city, it ought to have swayed the audi
euce like reeds in a windstorm. What
the music teachers in the schools for
negroes ought to learn, and what they
ought to incucate in order that the
great gifts of their people may come to
Music has opened door for them un-
haunted by the spectre of prejudice;
they ought to find it and keep it open.
The pageant is brave show, and no
small measure Of talent is disclosed in
it-muscial as we'll as mimctic---but we
wished for mare of primitive material
and less sophisticatons. Mr.. Charles
Burroughs, who outl.ned the aliegory,
is superb in voice and elocution. There

Why
NelO York University?

MY friends remind me that I
have now been with New
York University for an even ten
years, and suggest that 1 take
this occasion to give to the
readers of The Tribune a short
series of talks. about the uni
versity.
They ask me to say why I
came here in the first place,
leaving a congenial and re-
sponsible position as Federal
Commissioner of Education.
Here are some of the reasons
The original purpose of the
founders of this University ap-
pealed to me, particularly as
expressed by Albert Gallatin,
the first President of the Uni
versity Council. That purpose
was to promote wider educa-
tional service, suited to the
growing needs of a great center
of American life.
The location of the Univer-
sity was strategic. 1t was at
the commercial metropolis OF
the nation, soon to be the COM
frercial metropolis of the world.
Its lines of connection with all
America and all the world were
of the most intimate character.
1t had sustained remarkably
high standard of teaching.
It's University College had,
through all vicissitudes, been
true to the ideal of an orderly
and organized course of liberal
education. 1t had not been led
astray by the doctrine Of unliln-
tied election of studies.
Yet it had not limited itself
by tradition. 1t had made a
reputation for initiative. 1t
welcomed new ventures freely,
while holding fast to historic
educational principles.
It's newer professional schools,
particularly in Commerce and
in Pedagogy, opened an unli1n-
tied vista of educational ad-
vance.
was keenly interested in it's
Hall of Fame, which promised
to become an inspiration to the
youth of all schools and col
leges in the land, stabilizing the
American ideal of American
character.>
Finally, the oppressive handi-
cap under which, with all it's
greatness, the institution was
then laboring, handicap in the
form, chiefly, of res anguish
doni, had created such situ-
alton as would appeal to the
imagination of any man who
had drop of sporting blood in
his veins.

If, from your study Of memoirs and
the histories you have made for your
self a picture of Marie Antoinette, you
may with comparative comfort, cx-
change it for that provided last even

George.
That is to say that Miss George, in

foolish, romantic, bored and courag-
eous. and she died, not ignobly. in 81
lovely, though sinister tablcau at the
end.
Miss George seemed to disregard in
her Characterization the text of the
play as published at the top Of the
playbill. "She lived the life of q
cocotte." it says. Yet the conduct
OF Miss Georges Marie Antoinette.
while imprudent, was never unchaste
even for court where, as the Countess
de Noallles observed last evening,
purity was considered gauche The

Due d'Orleans at faro.
Il !:
Perhaps it was this lack OF ruddiness
IN the queens character that caused
the play to lag a little, and to depend
for its entertaining qualities upon Miss
Georges charm and the superb outfit
ting given to it by the prodigsl Mr.
Brady. The dress was remarkable in
the beauty of it's color and fabrics, and
those who wore it were comely and
graceful. So, when the queen com
mandcd the devoted Fersen to a mid
night rendezvous in the Temple of
Love. all we got WAS postures. some
pretty clothes and game of faro bank.
Louis the Little neglected his wife for
his forge, in the best manner Of the
modern business man, leaving her to
romantic devices with the sentime
Scandinavian. But despite opportunity
she loved the count only&as good
/ woman should. There wasn't a kiss or
an embrace in all the plays prim con-
| tents.
In piece of 10 feshly excitements
expected in an Illustration of life
among the foolish Bourbons before the
delugc, "Marie Antoinette" in it's last
act, offered the thrilling episode Of the
mob at Versailles. There we had Miss
George as the doomed queen, bidding
farewell to her children, to her intirm
king and to her cavalier and otyeriup
herself as sacrifice to France. This
incident was very moving, and Miss
Georges rcticcnt eXertions in it were
most appealing. Among other interest
ing items of the performance was the
acting of Mr.. Pedro de Cordoba as
Count Fersen, in which re was pic
turesque and sympathetic. though he
| was assigned to the role only four days
ago.
/ A more or less mysterious composer,
called "Edymar,' whose identity Mr.
Brady last evening declined to reveal,
is the author of the chronicle. 1t is
at best colorful minuet, involving
much oratorical, pretty speech and
many genufections.

the terrible climax staged on the floor
of the stock exchange. How perfect
the setting-how real it all seemed.
But back of the scenes Morgan and
Stillman were in conference. They
had made their representations at
Washington. They knew when the in
stallment of money would reach New
York. They knew just how much it
would be. They awaited it's arrival
and deposit. Thereupon they pooled
an equal amount. But they held it.
They waited. Interest rates scared.
Wall street was driven to frenzy.
Two o'clock came and interest ran to
$50 per cent. The smashing of the
market became terrible. Still they
waited. Union Pacific declined 1OR

offered to the public at 3 per cent and
SIS 5,436, 500 sold and went to Morgan
& Co. They had drained the federal
treasury and the public to the limit.
They had confscated $41O,OOO,OOO of
their creditors money and appropriate
ed $642,O00,000 of the peoples money
to the utter decentralization of the bust
ness Of the nation. Still there was no
protest from the comptroller of the
currency and no receiver appointed.
It is a fact that President Roosevelt
admitted an understanding between
the New York money kings, the comp
troller of the currency, the attorney
general and himself, which allowed
Morgan & Co. to break all our laws
with impunity without any fear of
justice. Having thus agreed with our
highest national officials to ignore the
laws of our land, contrary to the Sher-
man antitrust law, they proceeded,
after entangling them in the meshes
of their panic, to force the Tennessee
Iron & Coal company to sell out to
them, giving them monopoly of that
business and netting them in that sin
gle transaction profit of $685., 5,OOO,-
900, with inestimable future profits
through monopoly control. When they
had secured all it was possible to grab
at that time, the sham battle between
Morgan and Standard Oil ceased, and
Morgan and Stillman divided equally
between them the last $25,OO0,OOO
they had squeezed out of the govern
ment and were then acclaimed great
patriots for having saved the nation
from the panic. This panic was made
for the purpose of forcing the presi-
dent and congress to allow them to
annul or amend the Sherman anti
trust law and for test of strength
and power of the two most powerful
Wall street factions.

HOW CANAL BONDS
FIGURED IN DEAL

Senator Nelson said in the state of
Minnesota prior to the tie-up in New
York we had been moving all our
crops with western money. 1t was not
until the banks of New York, Chicago
and other reserve centers tied up over
$30,000,000 of the funds of our Mime
sofa national banks that our local
banks were forced to follow suit. The
only way the bankers stopped the
panic was by breaking the law, sus-
pending payments, holding up the en-
tire country. Why did the comptroller
of the currency fail to comply with
the law and put those big New York
banks in the hands of receivers to be
cleaned up according to law? There
was reason. What was President
Roosevelt doing to stop this inhuman,
ungodly riot of mammon? The New
York banks had secured from outside
banks and held in their vaults $40,-
100000 subject to call according to
law, and subject to closure if they fail
ed to respond promptly. Without hesi-
and defied the officials who were sworn
to enforce the law. They had secured
deposits, taxes from the people, free
of interest, from the federal treasury
of $400,000,000, none of which was
called for by the treasurer to help the
interior banks in distress. They called
on the administration for more help
and Secretary Cortelyou responded
with $100,000,O0O more, and $50,000,-
900 Panama canal bonds were sold and
the proceeds turned into the Morgan
hopper. These bonds were not sold to
the general public, but sold to the
Morgan syndicate, rs per cent of the
purchase price remaining on deposit in
their vaults and the remaining rs per
cent was quickly returned by deposit.
The Panama canal was not in need
of the money and it was not raised for
it's use. Looks like misappropria-
tion of public funds. Was it? "
Northwestern bankers were in great
distress. Senator Nelson and other
representatives demonstrated and re-
quested that any further funds dis
tributed be sent to those banks, but
without avail, and Morgan insisted on
more money. Seventy-five million dol
lars in certificates Of Indebtedness were

PANICS MAN-MADE-
COME REGULARLY

The part played in this game by the
president and attorney general created
such scandal that a senate commit
tee was appointed to investigate, and
their unanimous report was that the
president had. no authority to promise
immunity from prosecution. (Report
lilo, Sixtieth congress.)
Now friends, do not harbor the idea
that perhaps the panic of 1920-21 is
the last one, or that those panics just
happen promiscuously. They do not.
They are man-made and I can prove
it to the world if they ask me to. We
had panics in 1904, 1907, 1912, 1915
and 1920. That looks quite regular
and systematic, doesn't it, men and
women? For the sake of the coun-
try, for your own, sake and the sake
of the growing generation, get busy
and help to get away from the control
of the rotten politics of today. Rotten
~oliticians and their policies have
brought our nation to the brink of de-
struction. Wake up, people, and let
us change our financial and political
systems before it is too late. Get busy
and study out the truth for yourselves
and do not depend on the average
press of the country, 95 per cent of
which is controlled by monopoly.
