RUDOLPH GAM

Rudolph CAM, the conductor of the
st. Louis Symphony orchestra, to APP
pear here Monday under auspices of
the Music Study club. is man who
has won his way to worldwide fame
through his musical accomplish
ments, both as pianist and composer.
He was born in Zurich, Switzer-
land, February "a, 1877. He was a
distinguished pupil at the conserva-
tories of music at Zurich, Lausanne
and Strassburg. He later studied
under Blanchet at Lausanne and Ur-
ban at Berlin. While in Berlin, GAM
became a close friend of Busoni, and
studied under this master eventually.
The influence of Busoni was of much
Importance in the molding of Ganz's
career.
CAM made his debut at Zurich
when he was IL years old. Practical
ly from then on he has continued to
figure prominently in the musical
world and he has repeatedly made
concert tours that have taken him to
many parts of the world.
He came to the United States in
1900. His acquisition of the baton
of conductorship of a large sym
phony orchestra has been the achieve
ment of which he has often dreamed,
and his remarkable success as con-
ductor has shown that his inherent
qualities of muscianship have indeed
led him into an ideal sphere.
His compositions include a sym
phony, concert piece for piano and
orchestra, many piano pieces and up
wards of $50 songs, many of which
nave become concert favorites.

AT LoEw,s BIJoU


In spite of rain and the close
proximity of Christmas, Loew's Bijou
entertains large audiences at each
performance, and for the remainder
of the present week will continue to
offer a diversified vaudeville bill
with such entertainers as Harry Fox,
the popular musical comedy and
screen star, and Lady Tsen Mel. the
Dainty Oriental Nightingale" whose
personal appearance is attracting
much attention.
Other acts of merit on this bill in
clude the musical dance revue, MEL
odies and Steps" by Jim and Irene
Marlyn; also the comedy, Loans m
Street" by Jules Bernard and Flor
ence Scarth, and some clever capers
by the Turner brothers. The Metro

AT THE LYRIC

The Castings Campbells, in a series
of sensational aerial offerings leads
the bill which opened at the Lyric
Thursday night to wet weather
crowd, by comparison, 1t falls short
OF the two exceptionally good ones
imme diately preceding.
Mason and Gwynne Offering The
South Today" persent a fairly pass
able skit. typical of the blackface
comedy of vaudeville in general.
There's nothing particularly wrong
with the act except it's lack of some
thing different.
Charles B. Middleton as Cherokee,
in Lonesome Land" so-called
western comedy, is the redeeming
feature with an exceptional voice.
Just what excuse there is for pre-
senting the thing is not apparent.
Cherokee, however, only sang one
song.
Wilson and Jerome in odds and
Ends" are two fairly funny fellows,
but also lacking something new to
help put their act over in better style.
Some clever athletic stunts is the re-
deeming feature.
1.-TWO Girls and a Fellow" with
Herman Berrens and the Ryal sisters
features Berrens as one of the most
accomplished pianists the Lyric has
ever presented. Especially acceptable
was his arrangement of some popular
Oriental melodies played by himself
assisted by the orchestra.-R. W. K.

Far East Recital.

The delicacy of the cherry bios
SONS for which their land is named
and the fragrance of oriental poetry
were characteristics Of the quaint,
charming entertainment offered by
Mr.. and Mrs. Ongawa of Japan in
the Far East program presented at
the National Theater yesterday after
noon, under the auspices of the
Washington branch, American Asso-
citation of University Women A
large audience showed interest in
the various numbers.
After droll introduction of each
to the audience, the two actors pre-
sented an instrumental number,
Feast of Lanterns" with the Gek-
kin, a Japanese instrument with a
scale of nine notes instead of the
eight of the diatonic scale and traps.
The composition Is as vivid and full
of clashing melodies as the music
of the western modernists and is
programmatic in it's portrayal of the
features of this Japanese holiday.
Mr.. Ongawa presented an ancient
legend in sword dance, "Kojima
Takanori.' a tale of one of the old
Samurai. Mrs. Ongawa accompanied
him on the samisen, another favorite
Japanese instrument. and sang a bal
lad telling of the action.
Then, in her precise English. she
told the amusing fable of the Mon
key and the Jellyfish." Mrs. Ongawa
has an unusually sweet voice, and
both the ancient love song, Moon
light and Waves" and the modern
Lady Picking Mulberries" were in
