Competition Is Keen With
Europe and Americas
Best Artists Setting the
Pace for All Corners. i
Rx PIERRE V. r. KEY.

New York, April 14.-hlgn COSTS OF
living are no more disturbing, these
DAYS. than the high standards demand
ed of music artists. Ten years ago it
was all very different. There were
not so many distinguished interpreta-
tive musicians as now: much smaller
number who spent their time in this
country, contesting for glory and cash.
We were forcibly reminded of this fact
a few days ago, when Fritz kreisler
and Jascha Heifetz each gave a recital
Within a few hours of the other. The
situation had all the appearance OF a
violinistic duel. First, in the after
noon, came the imperturbable Jascha.
He revealed again, as he has so many
times before, his customary glacial ex-
terror; the same technical perfection
suggesting wizardry itself; the golden
flow of tone which generally is we'll
nigh flawless. That evening kreisler
appeared on the same stage in Carne-
gle Hall, offering n brand Of violin
playing as different as day is from
night.
Fritz puts into his interpretations
the mellowness of manhood which has
known experience and has suffered.
And so he moves his hearers and sends
them away with their thoughts away
up in the clouds. =.
1t was inevitable that one should
have been prompted to contemplate
the super-excellence which other violin
lists must command to gain the atten-
tion of American audiences. The
Kreislers, Heifetzs, Elmans, Seidek,
Kochanskis, Thibauds, Morinis, Ru-
binsteins. and others who may be
classed with them present a solid front
for newcomer opposition. 1t is equal
ly true of the pianists and singers.
Europe's best are here. Americas
finest are also on the ground. The
public wants the greatest, and, wher'

we win asstffedly have others. Again
is there evidence of the growth OF our
native musicians. Once the public
comes to appreciate that we do pro-
duce splendid performers our own tai
ent will gain the recognition so much
of it is still waiting to receive.
Barbara Kemp's Ambition.
Ever since Barbara Kemp first apI
peared in this country she has won
dered how it would seem to pick up
fat fees for singing n concert. Miss
Kemp made an impressive Mona Lisa
in the Schillings opera of that name
Illness has rather retarded her artistic
progress, so that we have yet to ascer1
tain how fine her dramatic soprano
really is and just. how she might fiji
into concerts.
Miss Kemp herself is inclined to
emulate the example set by Maria Jer1
itza. One reason is the rewards which
promise in the coin of our realm
which is quite different from that nowI
prevailing in Germany.
The decision should be made shortly
One point at issue between the primo
donna and a manager with whom she
is negotiating is the matter OF conf
pensation. Miss Kemp feels she is
worth what Nine. Jeritza is worth
Speaking frankly, she could not easily
secure such a guarantee. Nine. Jer1
itza was a sensation. Miss Kemp is a
distinguished artistic, but-S4500 an
appearance is not to be had by all fo1
the mere asking.

and Emerson Whithorne have broken
camp, and with Arthur Bliss, the Eng
lish composer (wbo is soon to arrive
in this country, they will comprise
the executive committee Of the League
of Composers.
These secessionists are modern in
tendency. They assert that in their
opinion a broader Interpretation should
obtain than was adhered to by the In
ternational Composers Guild. No move
is to be made to present first per-
| Torrance" compositions exclusively.
Moreover, a unanimous vote of the
executive committee of the new League
Of Composers will be necessary to pre-
sent any music work submitted for
consideration. =

The situation il this, There are

their young sons are doing things they

they have argued with them; they
have worried about them. And the
sons have taken tho heetings and
grown sullen; have listened TO the
arguments, and laughed; have seen
their parents werry--and have not
changed their ways.
First of all we must start with the
proposition that there is right way
10 treat such boys. There Is IN every
one OF them some feeling which. II

most boys there is a latent spirit OF
manhood: there is hero worship; there
is admiration for strength. How to
