American Works To Be Played
BY Robert Schmitz i'm Paris

The s. M. I. of Paris-Societe Musi-
Gale Independante---is to hear Ameri-
can compositions, which E. Robert
Schmitz will play at their concert De-
cember 2 in Preyel Hall. The COM
mittee, which passes upon all works to
be heard, is comprised OF Nadia
Boulanger, Maurice Ravei, Charles
Koechlin, Louis Aubert, Albert Roussel
and G.. Grovlez.
This Societ6 Musicale Independence
was the outgrowth from the Societs
National founded In 1870 by Saint
Sasns, D'Tndy and Faure, when the then
younger generation began forming it's
own new viewpoint, making rapid
changes and developments in the nusi-
cal compositions Of the day. Warm
discussions finally led to the organiza-
tion of this new society--S. M. I.
Thanks to the vision displayed by
members of It's committees, the works
Of these men revealed new impress
sionistic art in France as we'll as else
where.
The American compositions which
the present committee of the s. M. ].
has accepted for this December con-
cert are piano works by Leo Sowerby,
Marion Bauer, Emerson Withorne,
Charles Critics and Alexandra Steinert.

thoroughly comic manner, amorous or
mock-heroic, in contrast to Pierre Rem
ington, who, as Alfonso, their bachelor
instructor In the ways Of women, was
the dryest Of dry humorists. The sing
ing was very creditable, for the music
is far from easy, with elaborate con-
certed numbers, part songs, and one
four-part canon, all typical Mozart.
One wondered at the fertility with
which he could pour out good tunes;
"'Cosi Fan Tutte" had enough for half
dozen musical comedies. Stuart
Ross, seen through thin screen play
ing the piano in costume represented
the orchestra. A piano, it is expected,
will be used for most OF the coming
performances, though an orchestra may
be employed in the larger cities. In
either case the opera should be thor
oughly enjoyed, as it was at this re-
hearsal. The story and action are hu-
morous, the words and music fit each
other perfectly, and the latter, besides
being good music. is easily understood.
New-York tribune., 1922-11-12

not one of these. The English dialogue
brought out a continuous stream Of hu-
morous situations and witty exchanges,
while in the songs the words tripped
off the tongue as if they had been
those originally set. What might be
called the "leit-motif" Of the story was
obvious: "'Tis. woman's nature!"
There was also discerned gain in the
more intimate atmosphere OF the
smaller theater.

'sCosi Fan 'Tutte''
Given in English
Promises Success

Many speak Of Mozart and Beethoven
in the Same breath, but few, if any,
have compared Lorenzo da Ponte and
Mozart with Gilbert and Sullivan. But
those inseparable geniuses of light op-
era were irresistibly suggested by
"Cosi Fan Tutte" in its new English
version, reconstructed and with the dia-
logue written by H.. E. Krehbiel, the
form in which it is to be given by the
company directed by William Wade
Hinshaw on twenty weeks tour from
coast to coast. The tour should be
highly successful, to Judge by the dress
rehearsal held Wednesday afternoon at
the Princess Theater. Mozart's music
and text in English--not libretto Eng.
lish - made a delightful, irresistibly
funny light opera that should please all
those who want something above the
average musical comedy.
The general impression was one of
constant effervescence and movement
with continuous succession Of good
tunes, as the plot was briskly and log
ically developed. After all, even with
the more elaborate trappings of the
performance at the Metropolitan, "Cosi
Fan Tutte" is not grand opera. Some
thing is lost if the plot car be gathered
only from the printed libretto and its
development is concealed in trecitatlvo
secco." There are several operas, of
course, in which the text is better con-
cealed in the decent reticence Of for
eign language, but "Cosi Fan Tutte" is

THE FARMERS JOB.

Recent statistics sent out by the
census authorities show that the farm
population Of the United States is only
81, GA, ,269. a little less than thirty per
cent Of the total. This includes farm
operators, and farm laborers and
their families, who live in the country,
and shows an average OF about five
persons TO each farm. About half the
people in the nation are classified ee
rural-that is. they live in the country
or in towns having fewer than $4,000
inhabitants, but only sixty-one per
cent of the "rurale" are actually en-
gagged in farming. Thus thirty-nine
per cent Of the rural population and
the entire city population must be fed
by the men engaged in agriculture. II
gives the farmer a big job. Only a
few years ago each farmer had to pro-
vision his own family and one other
famiiy-now he must furnish food for
nearly three other families beside his
own. His occupation should not fail

MISS HARVARD sings
AT kIWAN|S CONCERT
Large Audience Enjoys Folk
Songs by Artist With
Rare Voice.

A large and sympathetic audience
attended the Sue Harvard concert
which was given under tho auspices
Of the Kiwanis Club last night in the
ball room OF the Hotel du Pont. From
listening to a soprano far above the
ordinary.
Miss Harvard has the happy faculty
Of combining n gracious personality
with a voice Of exquisite quality. She
does this not in n forced manner but
in an easy natural way that suggests
poise and balance.
Her concert was made up OF Welsh
German, French. Italian and American
folk songs. Perhaps the most popu-
lar OF her numbers was the Lazy
Song" by Corrinne Moore Lawson. Sc
natural was her rendition OF this song
that one could almost picture a Groom
ing Negro in the sunny south.
Another popular number was
"Dacw'nghariad T." (Old Welsh Folk
Song) arranged by Hubert Davies. q
sprightly number that seemed to In
dicate n happy and contented peo-
pie.
In several songs Miss Harvard
charmed her audience with her flute
like high G which she attained In q
gradual ascendency and which then
seemed to die out much after the man
ner OF reed instrument,
After the second. third and fourth
numbers, Miss Harvard was obliged &c
respond to encores. She offered
Dixie" and Coming Home" the
Kiwanis song at the conclusion Of the
second number. Prior TO the clul
song she stated that she would sing Il
whether the audience liked It or not
Both Miss Harvard and Miss Usher
who accompanied her at the piano
were presented with bouquets o.
American beauty roses after the sec
ond number.
An amusing little song called
Dreams" served as her encore fol
the third number. After the fourtl
number, Miss Harvard. who had lef
the platoon, was recalled by enthu
eiastic applause and obliged her audi
ence with Garry Me Back To Ok
Nirginny."
Elwood Turner OF Chester. Pa, in
truluced Miss Harvard and state'
that although she was a bit indispose'
she would not think of disappointin,
her audience by failing to appear. IL
also made mention of the fact tha
Miss Harvard is true Kiwanian ant
is known as lieutenant governor at
large Of the capital district. Too mucl
credit cannot be given Miss Ethe
wards accompanist. Her playing adde
much to the success of the concert.
A good deal of favorable commen
was heard on the tasteful program
which were printed by William /
Taylor. member Of the club, AM
