Best Musicians to
Be Had by Phoenix
Is Rede1ViII'S View

in some localities with such a grip
that is sure to spread over the entire
land, as positive in amusement as
fatally was the .flu" Many took it
seriously while the conservatives
held fire. The present development
did not warrant a strong backing by
the great music industry, yet as all
new things must travel through their
development period the radio GER
tainly made a fast getaway and
when such things as static" wave
lengths" and amplifiers are perfected
and controlled there may be room for
the canned" solons to worry.
The most important side or any
educational idea is to see that the
coming generation receives proper
development. Stress was lent on all
sides to set aside the music work In
all schools and see that pupils were
educated in connection with their in
dividual talents and requirements, to
promote the art to the greatest state
of efficiency. The concensus Oh
opinion developed that each town or
city should have a board composed
of its best and broadest musicians to
pass on the musical instruction or
each individual pupil, and that the
school moneys go as far as possible
to pay for such education in either
private or class form--and that
teachers of music stand examining
qualifications as to their ability to
carry out the instructions of the
board.
Artists All Taboo
Some contracts have been made
for the coming seasons tours, puN
the large majority have not defi-
nitely formed their plans-and their
tours are stated as touring Europe,
Eastern states" and the like.
The veteran Polish pianist mace
an appearance a small gathering
and shook hands. He made a Few
recordings for reproducing pianos
but nothing definitely stated regard
ing another farewell tour" Some
celebrities know enough to stop at
the top and one as smart as Mr..
Paderewski has proven to be in all
his business affairs should hardly be
expected to subject himself to the
criticism that would be sure to fol-
low any recitals he might give. With
Schumann- Heink though it is diff
ferent, because she has never lett
the public eye for any great length
of time. John Mccormack ditto.
Artists for Phoenix
Without interference by sub-man-
ayers who protect their so-called
courses, Phoenix should have this
coming season such artists as Gain
Curci, Farrar, Ysaye, Ornstein, Sousa,
Aaston, Althouse, Muratore, Irish
Regiment band, Gentle, Barriere,
Goldman's band, a symphony orches-
ira, Gadski, and several meritorious
assemblages that are not so well
known. There will be many to pick
from. and as always previously dem
onstrated the greatest stars are
sometimes available on the shortest
notice.
Everyone knows of Phoenix. They
know of our splendid reception and
entertainment, and our musical life
is thought as much of as many cities
a dozen times larger than Phoenix.
Artists that have lived here are con-
ttinuously praising Phoenix: Marie
Tiffany, Helen Howard. Claude Gott-
helf, Charles Wakefield Cadman,
Homer Grunn all have a warm spot
in their hearts for Phoenix. And
why not Don't we work, fight and
do everything that the best musicians
do. why should we not succeed? AS
one wise bird once said.a people
don't accomplish any difficult task
until they get to scrapping."
