Congress ranks about third in i'm

Hempel. coloratura soprano, is
giving, when in the quaint old
fashioned hoop-skirt festooned with
flowers this delightful singer i'm
personates her famous predecessor,
the Swedish Nightingale" Jenny
Lind.
Miss Hempel wears an exact copy
of one of Jenny Lind's gowns.
which was made for her last sum-
mer in Paris. The idea of the
Jenny Lind concert was brought
about by the Historical Centennial
Concert given in New York in the
autumn Of 1920. in honor of the
Tooth anniversary of the birth OF
the great Swedish singer.
Al that time Miss Hempel was
chosen to represent Jenny Lin be-
cause. of all singers today her
voice. art and personality more
closely resembled the traditions
that made Jenny Lind theJearlier
queen of song.
The date of Jenny Ling is little
beyond Colonial days. bvt it is sure
that the music of the American
colonies had not been replaced.
Miss Hempers progYtm that she

Jenny Lind. Included in her pro-
gram were the scene land cavatina

Bird Song by Taubert, composed
expressly for Jenny Lind; Greet

Sir Harry Lauder i'm
Rotary "Wireless"

SOME weeks ago Sir Harry Laud-
er. an international favorite
and one of the bestowed figures
ever to grace the stage, made an
address to the Pittsburgh Rotary
Club In the Fort Pitt Hotel. Sir
Harry. himself a Rotarian, spoke
for about forty-five minutes and
closed his address with one OF his
songs which are famous for lifting,
cherry air. There were probably
200 people In the dining room of
the Rotary Club listening to Sir
Harry, yet the speaker had a
larger audience than he ever had
before in his life and his words
and song covered a 50O-mile radius
with the. center of the circle at
East Pittsburgh, Pa. That address
may have been heard by more than
100000 people, and only $500 Of
the number actually were in the
room with the speaker.

Dambois was born in Liege, Bel

Wedding Chant Used
For Princess Mary
Work of New Yorker

THE chant to. which the psalm
was sung at the wedding Of
Princess Mary and Viscount Las
celles was composed many years
ago by T. Tertius Noble. at one
time organist of Ely Cathedral,
later of York Minister, and now
of st. Thomas Church, in New
York city.
According TO the Churchman,
Mr.. Noble wrote it when he was
seventeen years old. a student at
the Royal College of Music under
Sir Walter Parratt, organist OF
st. Georges Chapel, Windsor.
HE wanted a number of new
chants for his book" said Mr..
Noble, land called on me to write
some. / did so, and this particu-
lar one was among them. They
became favorites and have been
sung ever since. This one has
been sung in st. Georges Chapel
since 1888. When Princess Mary
was discussing the details of the
ceremony, she said that she would
like to have a chant that she re-
membered at Windsor, and was
fond of, but she did not know by
whom It was written, In order
to identify 1t for Sir Walter she
had to sing 1t for him. He recog-
nized II Immediately as one OF

Editor and Artist

CARL ENGEL, who comes to US
from twelve years as editor-in-
chief of the Boston Music Com
pany, was born in Paris. He studied
in the. universities Of Munich and
Strasburg. and composition under
Ludwig Thuille in Munich. He
came to this country in 1905, going
to Boston in 1909.
Mr.. Engel is a contributor to the
Musical Quarterly. Of which Mr..
Sonneck is editor; also to the Ches-
terrain, London, and he has pub
lished book recently called "Alla
Breve," which Is short sketches on
music from Bach to Debussy.
He Is composer Of 'Triptich,"
for piano and violin, that was done
in London by Ethel Leginska and
Harrison Keller, violinist. 1t 10 In
sonata form. The Boston Evening
Transcript speaks Of two Of Carl
Engel's "Perfumes'-musi in
spired partly by certain creations"
of Partisan perfumers, and partly
by specific associations with them
in the composers memory. One he
finds "a beautiful example Of a
highly sophisticated and magma
tive Style" another "Peau d'Es-
payne" in stronger accent, and a
Tango rhythm. "amplified with in
creasing complexity as Spain and
Paris become fused"
Some songs by Mr.. Engel were
used last week at the National
Composers Guild in New York.
They have French and English
words.
As nnRuist, Mr.. Engel also
served the Boston Music Company
broadly. yet he says of his edi.
torial years there:
The American composer never
had better friend than I in the
Boston Music Company. where
modern music was advanced and
perhaps more unknown talents
put 70 than anywhere in the
country.
That Mr.. Engel II a progressive
is shown in an article in the Mu-
steal Quarterly on "Music-Melodi-
Gus and Odious." He says:

, forming in which some of us read
a new melodic message, while to
the rest 1t remains unintelligible.

In welcoming Mr.. Engel to
Washington, we have with us q

the two together in the pro-
sressive terms Of music of the
future.
