Critics Music Set to
Poem by Whitman

THE first Of eight performances
OF Salut au Monde. a festival
In three parts arranged from the
poem by Walt Whitman. with
music by Charles T. Critics. was
given in New York recently at the
Neighborhood Playhouse.
The festival was in preparation
two years ago, but the death OF
the composer in April, 1920. made
1t necessary to postpone the per-
formance until his original manu-
script. on which he was still work.
ing. could be deciphered and or
ranged. This was done by Edmund
Rickett, and was played by an en-
semble Of wind instruments, harps
and piano under the direction of
George Barrere. The choruses of
women's and mems voices, train
ed by Laura Elliott, form an in
tegral part of the musical setting.
Besides the Critics music there are
five short scenes in which authen-
tic ritual music will be chanted.
The unusual form of this pro.
duction. which includes scenes
where choral speech. singing and
movements are held together BY
the words of the great American
poet. make an appeal to those in.
terested In the bypaths of the the
ater convention. The dramatic
movement and vocalization was
performed by the Festival Dancers
Of the Neighborhood Playhouse. as
sisted by Ian Maclaren, Basanta
Koomar Roy and Sol Friedman.
and the decorations were carried
out in the Neighborhood Play

Abiding Impression.

s0THE most abiding impression
I took from this interview
was the magnificent courage with
which de Reszke has conquered
the worst strokes OF fortune and
the abiding influence he Is still
able to exercise on the memories OF
the old and the future destinies OF
the new generation. for when ! re.

country is by offering a prize for
il?
In Germany. and France. and
Italy. and Russia, composers pro.
duce operas at the rate Of several
hundred per annum, without any
prizes being offered.
Is opera in England a sort Of
disease that has to be drawn out
of the librettist's and composers
system by a prize. as a poultice
draws out Inflammation? Prizes
have been offered before. They
have even been won. and we have
seen the results, which were not
particularly encouraging.
"The Angelus" is a prize opera
at any rate, In the sense that It
won a prize. 1 think $500 was the
amount in this case. That is more
than most continental composers
make out OF n first opera, and far
more than any British composer
is likely to make out Of any first
rate orchestral work. For a mu-
sician. It is a considerable sum;
one would have thought 1t would
have moved every composer In the
country to enter and do his best.
Well, IL The Angelus" was
really the best opera produced by
that competition, can only say
that opera writing must have been
in rather . bad way In England
just then.

Aggregation Is, of Course,
Greatest In World.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyer!
Sound the tocsin. Ring the well

For the circus is coming to town.
Next Monday and Tuesday, out
at the old Camp Meigs site. in
Florida avenue northeast, the Sells.
Floto aggregation, combined with
the Wild West show of the late
Buffalo Bill. will offer to the circus
going public - and that means
everybody-''the greatest spectacle
ever presented under a big top"
Perhaps the greatest feature of
the circus this year is the $500, 900
spectacular act, "A Night in
Cairo" More than 900 persons
and animals take part in the affair
Two hundred and forty ballet
dancers and sixty special dancers
from the roof gardens and cafes of
New York have been engaged for
the event.
He Meets a Queen.
The spectacle will mark the
opening Of the circus. "A Night in
Cairo" has a story founded upon
an incident in the life of Messepha,
a ruler and warrior of ancient
Egypt. Messepha leaves his own
province and journeys to Cairo to
meet the Queen of Nyanzia. The
queen and her female attendants
offer gifts OF rare worth and
beauty to the visiting ruler.
The finest steeds of the desert
herds, gold vases filled with dainty
Oriental fruits and sweetmeats. and
fleet dragomans-all are freely
given by the beautiful queen to
the feudal chieftain.
Media, an outlaw son of tho
desert, has carried off a lovely
slave known throughout Egypt as
THE Lotus Blossom" He brings
her to Cairo to dispose of her at
the slave mart. He arrives with
his retinue in the midst OF the
celebration in honor OF Messapha
and offers Lotus Blossom" to tho
ruler for his approval.
Noting the rare charm and
beauty of the slave girl. Messapha
promptly falls head over heels in
love and purchases her for three
sacks Of gold pieces. Lotus Bios
som" dances for her new lord and
master.
q The queen and her consort then
depart in search of the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow.
A feature of the spectacle. IN ad.
dition to the pretty girls and the
riot Of color, is the music. 1t is
wild-pulsates with the passion Of
the desert, and stirs the pulses OF
the spectators.
Have Many Fine Horses.
The equipment of the Sells -Floto
circus is always OF interest to the
circus-loving public. There are ZAP
dappel-gray Percheron draught
horses. and 1856 ring horses, ponies
and mules.
The dining and kitchen tents
feed 91S persons three times a day.
and within an hour and half after
the first wagon arrives on the show
grounds all the circus folk are
busy with their morning meal.
The cooking Is done entirely by
gas and steam. There are forty
three walters. a chef and seven
assistants, a chief steward. who
oversees the entire "cookhouse," a
baker. two meat cutters, and a big
Ice box on wheels that holds eight
quarters OF beef, two whole hogs.
and several carcasses of mutton.

The difference is as deep as a we'll and
