Will Jazz Become Classic?

century. 1t became a popular form
of entertainment in Spain, but
aroused antagonism. Mariana wrote
OF the saraband at that time as a
dance and song so laschivious in its
words. SO ugly In Its movements that
1t fnfiames even very modest people :
He called II one of the disgraces of
the nation. while others branded Il
as an invention of satan himself. Ger
Vantes and Guevara attacked the
dance. Lopez de Vega defended It
and Philip II suppressed II for n
time. 1t was revived In purer form
later and Richelieu introduced It at
the French Court in 1858, dancing
II IN q ballet before Anne OF Aus
tria
In England the saraband was
transformed into a country dance
and was introduced as one of the
movements of the suite. and later
great composers like Handel used
the saraband in some OF their
nOblest writings.

Jazz is making remarkable prog
ress and will nnd it's way into the
concert hall shortly IL 1t follows the
precedent set by former forms of
musical composition" says Hugo
Riesenfeld. the noted New York
photoplay impresario. and himself
composer Of note. Mr.. Riesenfeld
recently introduced jazz in his pro-
grams at the Rialto Theater, New
York, giving 1t a presentation as
fine as that accorded the classic
overtures.
Jazz is merely a colloquial eN-
preston and may pass, but the
music form will probably remain,
developing from a dance into a con-
cert composition. Our most digni-
fed music molds began as dances.
and musicians have learned that the
source is never a stigma upon a
style of composition. Our great
symphonies are exemplifications of
how beautiful a dance or a series of
dances can be developed.
THE history of music shows the
progression of several crude dances
| into more elaborate and musical
| forms and their final acceptance.
Some of the finest music, like the
saraband. originated in a dance
form which was bitterly denounced
and even banned by royal edict
The waltz became the center of con-
troversy when 1t first reached Eng
land. The gavotte was called the
invention of the devil when 1t was
in its first popular FORM. 1t Is the
fate of most music forms-and the
same is true IF any new movement
in art-that II is first fought
against. gradually develops. inter-

The sarabands history Is typical
There is doubt whether It originated

SIDELICIYTS ON THE WEEKS new OFFERINGS

Tall, stately. but with a recog-

Russell in "Springtime Of Youth"
at the Garrick this week. 1t isn't
so long ago that Miss Russell made
her first appearance in a Broadway
musical comedy and her first ap-
pearance stamped her as Broadway
material, and there she has been
ever since.
Miss Russell Is the Russell half
OF the team of Russell and Morton.
which played In vaudeville for so
long before an enterprising man
ager engaged them for a Broadway
attraction. Miss Russell confesses
that she has peculiar niche to
fill in ths theatrical world, for she
is not an ingenue, a prima donna
or a straight comedienne She is a
combination of all three, a dialect
comedienne and concert pianist.
Indeed. II was as the latter that
she had first expected to shine in
the artistic armament. However,
the stage later drew her and there
she had made a real place for her
self.

eyes danced when the question was
put to her. They're a sight! ]
went to Paris this summer to shop
but came home emptyhanded.
Can You imagine me looking tub
like? Well. 1 do in Paris frocks.
Long skirts. very wide and hemmed
with stiff materials that sway and
sweep on all sides"
Miss Brady isn't set against Paris
creations just because they are for
eign; she contends that they lack
taste, refinement and distinction.
That's why she insisted that all her
latest gowns. hats included, be pur-
chased on Fifth avenue.
One is always hearing about the
wonder of Paris Clothes" continued
the charming daughter of William
A. Brady, the well-known manager.
Its Paris this and Paris that.
Really, I'm weary of the reference.

Logically, why not O'Neill? Isn't he
a gorgeous playwright"
She was told of rumors to the ef
feet that she might appear as Des-
demona in "Othello."
why should any one wish to do
that horrible simpleton?" asked
Mss barrymore. One would
sooner do Amelia Serley in Vanity
Fair" or some other heroine Of the
Thackeray school than the beauti-

ly play for the boys"
Ever since / was a child have

clared. Understand, l know what
it means 10 run a success over two
seasons. and one goes about the
same old thing every day while the
world passes by. Most of US have
to take what the managers offer.
but so many actors would give any,
thing TO get the chance for roper
toire. 1t is the only way to accom-
p!ishment for the theater. Until
Arthur Hopkins brought his cour-
age and vision into the work, | had
almost despaired OF an opportunity
1T is the only way to escape being
tired. To do the same play night
after night and the same situations
and the same lines is the hardest
work of all. Here I'll have the
pleasure OF trying new things, and
the satisfaction of achieving new
roles. 1t is the most fortunate
thing that ever happened to me. I'll
never again keep a success running
indefinitely. Three seasons with
'Declasse' was enough to convince
me that repertoire is the best policy
for the American theater."

viii Rogers Tells
OF "FOLLies" Girls
LOUe for Bankers

Will Rogers had a special mes
sage for one hundred billion dol
lars worth Of American bankers
who attended a recent nights
performance of the Ziegfeld Fol-
lies in New York during the
bankers convention.
Mr.. Ziegfeld and myself are
always partial to bankers" he
said. "because they are so kind
to our young ladies. see now
that you came to New York to de-
bate about what to do with your
money. You finally decided to
buy out the Follies for a night
with 1t. Mr.. ziegfeld thanks you
for IL.
I'VE are doing a splendid serv-
ice to bankers here by supplying
them with wives. But in compe-
tition as nercs as il is tonight
advise any of you worth less
than a hundred million dollars to
keep away from the stage dooy -
you won't have chance with
these girls. They are not well up
on their Latin and Greek, but
my, how those girls know their
Dun and Bradstreet's.
I'VE recently filled an order for
the former president of the Ma
tional City Bank from our own
stock. We supply about one wife
a week here to bankers and can
not be blamed If sometimes our
work is unsatisfactory.
IT see one of our alumnae in
your midst tonight who you
would do well to engage to COL
lect the European debt. Send
her abroad and she will bring
them back. dead or alive
Mr.. Rogers then lassoed a
woman seated by one of the
bankers and made her stand up.
1t was Peggy Hopkins Joyce.
