Since a mans musical organiza-
tion has become affiliated with the
State Federation of Musical clubs
many of the clubs have taken a more
serious interest in Men and Music"
In this connection the following ar
ticle from Musical Moments" will be
of interest. 1t follows:
"One of the most unfortunate con-
ditions surrounding our musical life
is the small part men take in It,
This is not altogether their fault
Their business is engrossing and
concert going Is made difficult for
them. The very fact that here in
our own city all the day lunch
con clubs have given music a promi-
nent place on their programs is evil
dence of their realization OF the irn-
portant part it is beginning to play
in their lives. They go back to work
with a clearer brain and renewed
courage to battle with the problems
that require the very best that Is in
them The growing influx OF men

benefit to the cause of music. as we'll
as to the men themselves. We
should, after a time, get rid Of that
curious old Anglo Saxon idea that
art is effeminate. and should begin
to value it for what il really is.
Men. having comparatively little
leisure cannot be expected to waste
it on sentimental music or on mere
virtuosity. A jazz band or automatic
plano playing cheap though popular
pieces should expect no response
from human beings who are at work
day by day and hour by hour facing
the hard facts OF life. But men deal
ing with exact laws or under the
necessities OF trade and barter are
forced to distinguish between true
and false, between reality and un-
reality, for their very being depends
on so doing. ! do not mean by this
that these common experiences of
men fit them to understand great
music, but think men possess there
by certain senses of value and a cer-
tain discrimination between what is
real and what is false, and that
great piece of real music by an
equally great musician viii find an
answer in them.
"The increased interest being
shown by men in such organizations
as the Dallas Male Chorus is encour-
aging to those who are trying to Gre
ate among them a greater desire for
the higher class OF music. Last week
when an invitation was extended a
few OF our prominent business men
to become associate members of this
organization the response was spon-
taneous, and now that others have
been selected for this honor a large
list of the big men of our city, "the
captains OF industry" will become
more closely identified with this. the
largest male chorus in the South
west.
I'VE all need music, because 1t is
a fluent. free and beautiful form of
expression for those deeper impulses
