JAZZ MUSIC HAS

When Harold Orvis Ross. pianist
and orchestral director at the Sandon
theatre, returned from ten days

where he listened to all OF the good
things musically, including grand
opera which had Just opened its sea-
son. and Madame Gaunthier in a
concert Of American music represent
ing the latest things In Jazz. he was
asked his opinion Of jazz. The inter-
view was printed In The Free Press
Of November 6. Mr.. Ross approves
OF Jazz, he says, but not the ordi-
nary, noisy, clap trap, blantant
stuff heard on all sides, but that del
icate. intricate, sophicated, fascinat-
ing popular music played by skillful
experts in well drilled orchestras.
Gladys Randall Coleman pianist,
does not agree with Mr.. Ross view
Of jazz, and her communication to
The Free Press reads as follows:
There Is some comment and sup
posedly arguments on this subject
but II you wish to know my honest
opinion ! viii endeayor to tell. I
have never heard Jazz music that

yember "a, 1923, some one writes,
II Jazz represents the American

really do think there Is more in this
statement than many people think.
This whole question makes me think
of the Text II Timothy 4:3 which
reads, For the time will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine:
but after their own lusts shall they
heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears. If Jazz music has come
into such prominence as to be term
ed the best representation OF tho
spirit Of America we must have come
close to the time Of the fulfillment
OF the text. When the leading
teachers of America will not give
their students such a diet, further
more will not listen to Jazz, how in
the world can people say that it is
Americas expression of music"

Tennis stated that he feared
Martin would carry out his threat
and get the loaded gun he knew
was In the house. He said he went
to get his own gun from his car ard

Martin had ever tried to shoot him

NOTES FROM GAINESVILLE

GAINESVILLE, November 27.-The
foundation on the new Catholic
Church has peen completed. And
the old frame building has been cut
in two and the rear portion has been
moved back to the alley. The shell of
this building is being used for the
inside and the work of veneering
this with pressed brick is nor pro-
crossing. AS much of this work as
Is possible will be done until cold
weather sets in and the remainder
will be finished in the spring. 1t was
agreed by the architect and the
Church building committee that it
was desirable to retain the interior
Of the frame wall in view OF the fact
that the architect liked the form of
architecture of the old church and
wished to use the skeleton Of it as
the basis for the new building which
when completed will be one Of the
finest Catholic Church buildings in
the state.
William Schmidt, c. c. Hutchings
