March King Returns
To His Native City
John PHILIP SOUSA, It

John PHILIP SoUSA. Tho
march king" returns to Wash.
ington. his native city. and the
scene Of his great success as con.
ductor of the famous Marine Band.
on Monday. March IS, when he will
bring his famous band to the Ma.
tional Theater. at 4:30 p. m, for his
only appearance here this season.
Mr.. Sousa, who has made a trip
around the world, five visits to
Europe and trans-continental jour
neys almost without number, has
just returned to the United States
from a visit to Cuba, Mexico and
Central America. His first ap.
pearance in the United States fol-
lowing the trip Is to be made this
evening at the NeH York Hippo
drome.
Just twenty-three years ago, Mr.,
Sousa resigned the leadership OF
the Marine Band to build up
his own organization, which has
become known as the finest
band in America, IL not in
the world. The fact that Mr..
Sousa is still fond Of his native
,city--he was born on G. Street
southeast-is shown by his reten-
, ton of membership in the Gridiron
and Army and Navy clubs, Hiram
Lodge No. 10, +. A. A. M, Eureka
Chapter and Columbia Command
cry, and knight Templars of this
city.
The most famous of Mr.. Sousa's
marches. probably is THE Stars
and Stripes Forever" though the
High School Cadets" and others
are almost equally well.known. He
has added two new marches to his
list during the past year, Keep
ing Step with the Union" dedicated
to Mrs. Harding, and Third of a
Century March," dedicated to the
Keith Boys Band. in which he is
much interested. Mr.. Sousa looks
forward eagerly to an opportunity
to play the former for Mrs. Hard.

Why Neglect the
Poet i'm q Song?

TIL e persistence with which
most singers continue to ig.
more the authorship of the words
they sing calls for a renewal Of an
old protest. Printed leaflets con-
tanning the texts Of songs have be-
come the rule in New York re-
cital halls when vocalists are
heard. yet only in relatively few
instances-so few as to attract at.
tention-are the names of the lyric
writer's printed beside those Of the
co-authors. the composers.
A song recital. 1t is true. is a
musical and not a literary event.
But an art-song is distinguished
from so-called popular lifts by the
quality and character of Its words
as much as by the form and the
worth of its music.-Mephisto, in
Musical America.

Music and the Child;
Give 1t Some Thought

Upon the school teacher rests
most Of the responsibility OF the
child's education, says Along
Broadway. 1t is the teachers duty
to teach the child how to live and
how to live well. Music is every
where, but not always the best
music. Unless his attention is
drawn to the appreciation Of real
music, the child soon becomes
saturated with the monotonous APP
peal Of too much Of the same sort
of music. Careful listening and APP
probation of a few selections fire.
quently will do more to keep the
right sort of music before the
child than an occasional long pro-
gram, even by the best artists.
We have heard so much about
special school music that we have
over-emphasized its Importance. 1t
is not special preparation we need
so much as 1t is proper under
standing and use Of the wealth Of
material which is already avail
able.
Introduce to the child the real
masterpieces. and help him to un-
derstand them so that they may
become his lifelong friends and
not mere school-room acquaint-
ances soon to be forgotten.

last few weeks because we
have had such a variety Of
the specie to whet our interest.
Pavlowa, the great, comes
this week to justify all our
claims, for Pavowa and her art
embraces almost all types of
the dance. We can watch her
with the discussion in mind.
Does the dance express music7
Or does music accompany the
dance?
That is the ground for a broad
line of cleavage in the ideas Of
the day. We have seen that lead
ing master Of the Russian ballet.
Fokine, in his dance-dramas.
They are spectacles and intimate
dramas. Music Is their rhythm,
but their meaning is a story

has brought the Orient be-
fore our view in an exquisite art
Of the dance. Here too is chiefly
drama. But beyond that Itow
has reached in one dance-"Spirit
Of Heron"-a spiritual quality
that only has its counterpart in
those profound interpretations Of
music that Isadora Duncan gave
US.
The Orient in music does not
Speak to the Western ear. In
music we still find that East is
East, and West is West, and
never the twain shall meet" Yet
because one feels this kinship.
this one "dance"-the word is
misnomer-surely must be related
to the music that accompanies It.
The Spirit OF Heron" was done
by Yasushi wuriu, who embodies
4 strange stole quality Of the
Orient. They go leisurely on like
their plays that are often days
In the telling Of single drama.
There's nothing flamboyant,
either, in their art or in their
environment. That same patience,
that made Itow work three years
in perfecting his marvellous Fox
Dance, gives a mellow wealth of
detail and finish, in color and
texture and idea. such as one finds
in their rare lacquered vases; the
kind Of work that is passed on
from one generation to another
with aeons Of time 20 complete 1t.
The simplicity of their setting
bears resemblance to the chaste art
OF the classics.
WE must not desert the thing for
it's shadow. however. The bal
let art has a separate achievement
in it's marvellous pirouetting, its
Joyous bodily grace that we neglect
when We seek to over-dramatize It.
The modern dance. in it's broad
Russian lines or In its stately
classic expression Of music's self,
Is a bodily expression Of beauty of
the form in motion that too much
"story" obscures.
ALONG with the new art Of
the theater-the dance allied
70 the entire literature of music
one must keep in mind the scene
that gives It an art-atmosphere.
Can't We bring this art-atmos-
phere to our concert stage?
Now that changes are impera.
tive in our concert arrangements,
can't something be done to make
our concert settings harmonic
