the subtitles Clown, SaccharinC,

when we went to Walla Walla,
Washington, we found we were blaz-
> ing q new trail, for they are only now
beginning to have the concert sched-
ule of the progressive Western
cities"
One always get a touch OF what
the young artist has to consider in
the climb to fame, when talking with
Kitty Beale, and she is delightfully."-
enthusiastic over the success OF
others. So, all things being equal,
her own success is often told from
the "press notes" of her tour. So
we read:
Miss Kitty Beale. the young color
stura soprano, was delightful sur
prise. She is beautiful human
flute, a sunbeam 1 nsong." In Chi
cago they wrote: ''She sings ar
tisticaIly, articulates well, and is
altogether delightful to look at and
listen to. The aria Caro- Nome was
restored to its original pristine love-
lness."
THE BEGINNINGS.
We have heard and are proud OF
Kitty BeaIe in Washington, her home
city. 1t is refreshing to hear her eX-
claim over the recent praise given
Sue Harvard at the Metropolitan for
her singing OF the small "off-stage"
part in aida"
For 1t is in those important little
beginnings that the young artist
rises to her front rank in opera
realms.
We have just had a splendid aida"
performance as a civic opera. Did we
value that little" off-stage bit OF
singing?
But then you know" Miss Beale
commented in speaking of what
next" in her career, 1--WE coloraturas
have to be cast sometimes for mezzo
soprano roles!"
And so it goes.
She Is Off for More concerts with

CHICAGO ORCHESTRA, TO-DAY.

The great Chicago Orchestra, for
merly known as the Theodore Thomas
Orchestra, will for the first time in
many years be heard in a concert at
the National Theater this afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock. under the manage
ment OF Mrs. Wilson-Greene.
Quietly and gradually Chicago has
been acquiring a possession which
the proudcst cities in Europe are
glad enough to boast of when they
can. 1t has built up a standing army
of concert goers that consider Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra programs
a part of their regular diet. The
orchestra is the only one in the
United States which bears officially
the name of it's creator.
Vasa Prihoda, the latest violinist
sensation, will be the soloist and
will play the Mendelssohn Concerto.

The rally meeting OF negro mu-

last Sunday afternoon, brought to-
gether a number OF important negro
musicians OF the city who are form
ing a local branch in Washington OF
the National Association OF Negro
Musicians.
The Organization hopes to stint

make Of the washington Local" one
OF the leading music groups here.
Mrs. Gabriella Pelham, director OF
music of the colored Community Cen

forceful address. speaking OF the ac-
complishment in music made by the
negro musicians OF the United States.
and their place In what IL significant

preservation and development, tellinA
OF one great accomplishment In the

A very artistic exposition OF Motel
singing based on negro melody was
given by group OF about twenty,

direction of Henry Grant. They gave
an arrangement OF Swing Low

Dett into a sacred cantata OF this
famous negro spiritual. Mrs. Grant.
a soprano with a vibrant, pure and
compelling voice. sang the Incidental
solos with sincere feeling. reaching
heights of a soft echo effort with
a quality that was distinctive and
rarely pure.
The chorus was shaded from ef-
fective soft passages OF rich har-
monies to full voiced climaxes. The
hushed voices of the women were
impressive, and the deep male voices
gave at times a pedal point back
ground, at times a touch OF the banjo,
the entire work holding spiritual and
negro Significance musically. The
singing was clean cut and full OF
meaning, and to an enthusiastic On

new RAGTIME STUDIO
OPENS In WASHINGTON

Is ragtlme and syncopat1on the
same? Has America borrowed the
spirit of many classic composers in
her distinctly national type Of popular
music?
Ragtime that characteristic style
Of music. with its syncopated rhythms
and application of full harmony to n
melody, is universal in appeal.
Edward r. Winn, one of the fore
most exponents OF ragtime. in an
interview with John Philip Sousa, the
noted composer and band-master, was
informed, The worst that can be said
against ragtime by those who oppose
it, Is that IT has a bad name"
This vindication OF ragtime coupled
with that OF Ernest Newman, the
well known musical authority, who
writing in "The Music Trades" says
1T Is no new thing in music; COM
posers have made use OF It from time
immemorial and the work OF classical
composers teens with examples
has done much to elevate ragtime into
the highest plane of popularity. Rag
time originally takes It's initiative
steps from Spanish music, or rather
from Mexico, where II is known under
the names of Habanara, DANA,
Seguidilla. etc. Ragtime effects have
been introduced in Schumann's "Prom-
enade." and "Piu Stretto": Beethoven
Pianoforte Sonata, Op. rs (first move
ment): Brahms Hungarian dances
the fourth and nth Symphonies of
Tschaikowsky, and Gounod's Waltz
Faust"
other examples that might be men
toned are the ragtime passages in
LisZt's Hungarian Rhapsodies and
Arditis I'll Bacio."
Rachr1sninoff allowed his "Prel-
ude" recently to be converted into
ragtime and placed his approval on
this manner of plano playing.
To Edward r. Winn, Axel Christen-
sen, Ben Harney. Theodore North rup,
and others the music world owes n
debt Of gratitude for their labors that
ragtime might flourish.
To promote and encourage this
style OF playing. to instruct the
Washington populace into the pleas
ures of syncopsting music and TO
teach the application of the profess
sional bass with full harmony In the
treble. has moved the "Denart School
OF Popular Music" to open a studio
here in Washington.
Max NJ Schwartz, formerly In
