DR.TH.YORKI IPOTTEP !:
Dr.. Trotter, British Musician

Prominent among the many mu-
| sical folk. who have visited in Wash
ington during the past season. was
DIR. T. II. Yorke Trotter, who was
here recently. DR.. Trotter, who also
has an MA. degree, has the degree of
doctor of music of New College, OK
ford, England. He is principal of the
incorporated London Academy OF
Music, an institution licensed by the
board of trade of England as one car
ried on for the sake Of art and not
for profit
In 1921 DIR. Trotter was asked to
| come to the Eastman School OF Music.
Rochester, y. Y, to put forward his
IDEAS. He brought over with him one
or his teachers from London and in
September. 1922, returned to Roches-
Yer with two teachers, who have
charge OF large classes in the school
there.
DR.. Trotter. along with many other
true musicians, was dissatisfied with
the old methods OF teaching music
and has made it his life work to make
system of teaching that will con-
form to the ideas of modern phi
losophy and psychology.
Intuition" said DIR. Trotter, sis the
moving power in all artistic work
teaching music, whereas attention
has been concentrated on that which
was purely mechanical. All teaching.
to be successful may follow natural
laws and work not against, but with,
nature.
DR.. Trotter has written several
books on harmony. the rhythm OF
music and other phases of music.
The London County Council, a body
hich controls educational matters
in London. makes a yearly grant Of
money to the Incorporated London
Academy of Music to aid in the train
ing of children along DR.. Trotters
methods.
DIR. Trotter will return to England

cipal of this academy Of music.

Russian Stage Art

should they do so. they would be re-
garded as unnatural, ill-bred, vulgar
and ridiculous.
The Russians have also been
highly praised for their remarkable
ensemble work. but the chief reason
for ensemble work of such a high
order lies in the way Russian plays
are written. American plays must
coalesce. must have unity; Russians
are very little concerned with the
development of a unified story. Their
chief interest lies in merely paint
ing picture, in achieving a repre-
sentation of what may be called
state of affairs. like The Lower
Depths In SO far as the complete
picture is concerned. all the charac-
ters are equal, yet no individual
theme comes to a conclusion.
Thus. with all the characters de-
manding an equal interest, the en-
Semble effect automatically becomes
interesting and even impressive. I do
not refer, incidentally, to the skillfui
handling of so-called mob scenes:
! refer to the intrinsic features of
modern Russian dramaturgy, which
are chiefly instrumental in making
the ensemble SO remarkably impress

At a time when the Russian dra-
- matte vogue is being held aloft
as an example of all that is best in
dram attic rendering. and as an ex-
ample of the heights to which the
American stage has yet to ascend.
Harry Manners. stage director of the
President Players, comes forward
with a word for the poor, downtrod-
den drama In the United States.
Without attempting 20 disparage
the art Of the Russian players in the
slightest Manners advances the con-
tention that what is all right for the
Russian players is all wrong for the
American actor.
THE Russian method of stage in
terpretation is probably the best
method of Interpretation" Mr.. Man
ners admits. land 1t contains much
that the director can utilize. but little
that the actor can make use OF. The
eloquence of the Russians has been
highly praised. and complaint has
been made that American players
lack a similar degree of eloquence.
Such critics, however, seem to lose
track entirely of the fact that IL
American players were as demonstra-
tive with facial expressions as the
Russians are they would be Russian
and not American. In brief. such act
ing would not be true to Anglo
Saxon ideals and types, for Anglo
Saxons do not reveal their emotions
with such outward freedom. and.

est. Yet he has written few de-
IiRhtful works for, the piano and at

Founta;neb7eau Summer
School.

FROM June 2s to September rs are
the dates recently announced by
American Friends OF Musicians in
France as the period during which
the summer music school Of Foun-
tainebleau will be open to American
artists, teachers and advanced stu
dents.
In order to stimulate more intimate
musical relations between the United
States and France, this school was
founded Immediately after the war.
and the French government donated
for this purpose an entire wing of the
historic palace Of Fountainebleau.
The newest innovation planned for
this summer, is the further reserva-
tion of another wing Of the palace
for a school of painting and archi-
lecture for American students.
The school in no way competes with
institutions or teachers in America.
Its object Is to offer a postgraduate
course to advanced students and ar
lists, and give American teachers an
opportunity to acquaint themselves
with French pedagogy in order that
they may carry such of it's character
istics as appeal to them to America.
The tuition Is low, the difference in
cost of maintainence being supplied
from the French government and the
city Of Fountainebleau. Woman stu
dents are lodged in the palace and
