shall continue to see thousands of
commonplace pianists, singers and vio-
linists turned out every year. In the
end many of them will become teach
ers and occupy their lives with train

appointment.
Meanwhile this encouraging fact re-
mains. The really prosperous men
and women of the musical profession
are those who do the really fine things
Mr.. Mccormack has been mentioned
That he is great artist is no longer

audiences. But il has been conceded
by his censurers that he sings more
good music than bad and that he sings
Handel and Mozart and Beethoven as
well as any other living artist.
Nine. Schumann-Heink has enjoyed
a long and prosperous career as a
concert singer since she quit the
operate stage. and no one disputes
the fact that she has always been re-
garded as a singer of artistic music.
Among the pianists the names of
Paderewski, Hofmann. Gabrillowitsch
and Bauer readily occur to the men,
ory and certainly all Of these belong
to the artistic company

further with a mere catalogue. The
greatest artists are the most success

the lesson which all the youthful
aspirants should take to heart. But It
mere trickery even II one is not as
highly gifted as these celebrities.
The moving picture houses are open
ing UP a new field for musicians who
cannot reach the top. but who wish to
preserve their self-respect. Such men
as Mr.. Riesenfeld and Mr.. Rothafel
are doing very much for the cause of
good music. They offer excellent or
chestral performances and they en-
gage singers of repute. Young mu-
sicians should not harbor the idea that
there Is something beneath their dig
nifty in appearing in a moving picture
house.
The truth is quite the contrary. The
audiences in these theaters listen most
attentively to good music and applaud
it heartily. They like IL. And the
more they like II the more ready will

follow the lead of the big Broadway
houses in presenting short but excel

The National Federation OF Musical
Clubs is another agency which is pro-
viding a field for competent musicians
not Of the famous kind. This organl-
zation spreads over the entire coun-
try and Is active in furnishing musi-
cal entertainments In all kinds of COM
munities. It is naturally always look
ing for musicians who can satisfy its
demand for artistic performance at
figures not prohibitive. A musical clAb
In small town cannot afford to en-
gage the most famous pianist or singer
In the world. but It does not intend
to engage the worst. In the field oc-
cupied by the musical clubs there Is

American lighting methods, too. have
invaded European films. The tendency
In Europe In the past has been to use
too little light for subdued scenes or
to light the entire scene with fiat

OF Pharaoh are seen the development
of light manipulation. There is one

TIPlITZ AND BENJAMIN
TO CLASH At OLYMPIA

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-In a
return bout to settle the question
of ring supremacy Joe Tiplitz, local
lightweight, and Joe Benjamin. Of
California, have been rematched to
throw punches at each other for
eight rounds or less at the Olympia
Athletic Association tonight. The
two rival lightweights fought one Of
the most sensational bouts Of the
season at the reopening of the Olym-
pia last September. There was lit.
tie to choose between them at the
finish of eight rounds.
All efforts to rematch the two
sluggers failed until recently, when
Benjamin decided that he had
reached the top of his form again
and agreed to take on Tiplitz. Tip
litz has been working hard for this
bout and expects to score a decisive
victory this time.

II is not in the cards for
a man of Norfolk's size to beat u
big. slashing. rough, tough fighter
liks Wills.
Ketchel. a great man in his own
division. could not whip Jack
johnson. Carpenter was a child
in Dempsey's hands.
Yet as a test of Wills among
the fighters Of his own race, the
Baltimorean was about as good
a man as could have been select
ed. Bill Tate is the last black
boxer to make a showing against
Wills. but Norfolk had whipped
Tate.
The Kid was the logical trial
horse. After he weathered the
first round. it was thought his
jiggly nerves would get settled
down. Leo Flynn cooed reassur-
ingly in his ear. and the Kid
came out for the second all chirped
up. But Wills hit too hard for
him.
Norfolk landed lust one good
punch on Wills. That was a left
hook to Harry's chin when the
panther was bent back over the
ropes. Wills chin is supposed to
be a bit frail. but the blow did
not bother him.

Most of Them Talk.

(SNEOST fighters are SILENT"
V says a contemporary,
~ commenting on a book
in which the author, an ex-prize-
fighter, has his fistic characters
doing a lot of talking.
Wills has always been rather
verbose while in action, perhaps
getting the habit from Jack John
son, when he trained with the
voluble LII Artha. In fact it has
been our observation that most
fighters are just the reverse Of
silent.
"What horse did you bet on to-
day, joel" asked Johnny Dundee
when he was boxing Joe Benja-
min not long ago.
cav, don't give me that stuff"
replied Benjamin, approaching
Johnny's effort to distract his at
tention from the business in
hand.
Young Corbett and Jim Flynn
always kept up a running fire of
chatter at an opponent, some
times growing quite abusive.
Benny Leonard, the lightweight
champion, frequently has much
to say in the ring. Bob Fitz-
simmons was a talky fellow. Bill
Brennan sputtered language all
over the place the last time he
fought Dempsey.
$50 that's your best punch, is
it," he inquired.
They may not hold regular
tete-a-tetes in the ring, but the
average fighter loves his little dis
course between punches.

dumb fighter, Silent RSNA who
