cMatters
Music Week is Effort to Arouse Love Which
Is Instructive Part of Every Human Heart

with the Inauguration of Music
week, effort is on foot among the
committees that are sponsoring the
nine days festival, to arouse public
interest to such a height that every
person will make himself personally
responsible for the attendance of some
other person at the presentation of the
many programs that offer a diversity
sufficiently great to please the taste
of everyone, whether jazz or classic
is the preference.
Music week originated in the convic-
ton of a group of New Workers that
the love of music ~ inherent in every
human heart; that it is not alone a
luxury but a necessity as well. Be-
lieving that in this age of high pres
sure music does much to relieve and
eliminate the effects Of nervous ten
sion, the originators also worked on
the theory that music is a %leavening
influence. providing a common meeting
ground for all classes, the love of mu-
sic not being confined to any par
ticular type, group or nation. The
boy playing an accordion in the street
can touch the souls of those who hear
him with the rapt fervor of his play

strains from his violin has a fellow

bers themselves the purpose of the

and in window displays of the city's

H.. NJ. Brandt, acting chairman o.
the committee in charge of arrange
ments, stated that the cooperation of
the public has been wonderful n that

soul. if he is a lover of music. and it
fas been our experience there are few
who are not music lovers. Its effect

Peerless Diva as She

kerchiefs and programs with hundreds
rushing down to the footlights to get
near the great diva who stood. alone,
on the great stage visibly moved by the
tribute paid her.
Those who heard this peerless artist
sing three Marguerite arias. one from
Boito's "Me~fistofele." one from Ber-
lioz' Faust" and the 'Recitative and
Jewel Song from Gounod's Faust
and also the Santuzza 'Racconto" from
"Cavalleria Rusticana,' will long re-
tain the memory of the thrills she gave
them.
Nine. Calve sailed for her home in
the Cevennes district of France. She
will return to this country in October
and is already heavily booked for re-

What will happen so far as the audi
ence is concerned. at her first recital
in New York next season, those who
heard this farewell can easily predict.
Before leaving. Nine. Calve said:
II go with regret because this visit
to America has been one of the most
beautiful experiences of my life. But
the regret is lessened by the thought
that Am to return in October TO sing

the leaders of the Music week move

Hard work on the part Of the New

Music week into thousands of Ameri-

matter of time until the week will be
an annual national observance.
Great Falls was one Of the cities
that adopted the Music week plan at
the first suggestion. Hundreds of citi-
zens have given without stint, interest,
time and effort to promote it. 1t is
now established as a community insti-
tuition. The public is behind it and it
is an annual event that is looked for

splendid novels or short stories. but
which would never do for stage or
screen because they are not of the
dramatic type.
The best way to understand the tiff

dramatic stories is to make synopsis of
your ~favorite plays and compare them
with the plot of, say, De Maupassant's
'Une Vie which is a splendid novel,
but which is essentially undramatic.
There are plenty of text books on
dramatic construction-and we have
even written one ourselves-and it is
from these that you will have to learn
the principles of play and scenario
technique, as it is much too involved

These results were obtained or both

by our national industrial schoolmast-
ers, Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Hoover. The

ton knows the chemistry of this sub
iect by heart, and could immortalize

Venture Timely
The present vigorous venture of the
Anaconda company in the mineral fer
'tilizer business is timely, and is the re-
suit Of constant and original private re-
search efforts that have worked out
and conserved a dozen important mar
ketable by-products, in addition to cop

sources. now squeezed to the apparent

count and is likely to prove a venture
of national Importance. and of as much
ultimate profit as the primary object
of extracting copper.
SuIphuric Acid Went to Waste
This company has been unavoidably
wasting the potential value of approx
imately a million tons a year of sulu-
phuric acid that has gone to waste As
sulphur dioxide fumes from it's great
smelter stacks for years, for the good
reason that there was no available mar
ket for the acid if produced beyond the
own metallurgical processes. for this
unstable chemical compound will not
stand long in transportation.
After the discovery of the western
phosphate field was made about Is
years ago, the company put it's research
chemists to work on the problem of
chemically concentrating inert rock
phosphate, using a primary sulphuric
acid reagent in the process with a view
to creating a local market for its own
converted waste sulphur fumes.
