COWBOY SONG IN PRINT.

oscar j. Fox, Texas song-writer. is
being congratulated on the recent of
the first copies of his COWBOY song.
" founded up in Glory" which Is
Just OH the press of the Carl Fischer
music publishers. The song has al
ready been widely sung, and has be.
come Immensely popular, in the
manuscript form, but the first printed
copies OF it have just been received
by the composer.
:. Mr.. Fox has had many songs pub-
llshed. but of them all, his own great.
est iavorites are the two COWBOY
songs set TO words from "Cowboy
songs and Frontier Ballads" collect.
ed by John A. Lomax, of the Uni
versity of Texas. The COWBOY is
unique, and with the narrowing OF
boundaries and ramifications of rail.
ROADS, is disappearing so rapidly that
he Will soon take his place among
the picturesque vanished types of by
gone days, which live again only in
the songs they sang.
The "Spirituals" of the plantation
darkies, and the wildly plaintive melo-
dies of the Indians have been saved
to us by the sympathetic interpreta-
ton of those musicians who were able
to feel and to express the vital part
thoy had in our national musical
Development. The poetry and the
melodies Of the cowboy are as in.
dividual and as characteristic as any
folklore we have ever possessed. They
are enriched with mixture oil
realism and romance, civilization and
savagery, memories of lonely camI
fires I'D mysteries of long night

MARY AUBREY BACK.

The many friends Of Mrs. Peter
Mccall Heating, who will always
think of her as Mary Aubrey. arc
delighted to have her at home again
with her small son, Peter Mccall Jr.,
ior short. visit. Her big warm
contralto voice and her graciousness
about singing have been much missed
IN San Antonio's musical circles since
her marriage two years ago. 1t was
a real pleasure to hear her sing again
at the Y. NJ. c. A. benefit tea at
Mrs. c. B. Lucas home Thursday
afternoon. She will sing again on
the program of "Opertatic Episodes 4"
gwen by the San Antonio Musical
Club: where she will sing the Carmen
"Habanera" in costume.
her account of the singing she has
done this winter in her new home
IN Philadelphia, is of much interest
TO her friends here who are all proud
OF the immediate recognition her voice
and her talent have had. She gave
a JOINT recital with the Bove String
quartet from the Philadelphia Sym.
pnony Orchestra at the Academy of
fine Arts; gave an invitation recital
1or the Colonial Danes; and another
one at about the same time for Bryn
Mawr College. She took greatest
pressure IN acting the part of the
witch in Humperdincks "Hansel and
Gretel;;" which was produced by the
Philadelphia Operate Society. She
also gave a sacred recital in ST.
James Episcopal church. the largest
church in Philadelphia. where Wesley
sears is organist and has sung MANY
tunes in private recitals in the
homes of her friends. She speaks
with much interest of her studies tbis
last winter with Henri Scott. and be-
interest in music and music deyelon.

Metropolitans Season Has
Been Success Financially

sity glee club as an aggregation of
undergraduates bent on lusfy song, and
sticking to the oldtime fayorites which
required no particular musical skill
or finesse.
DIR. A. 7. Dawson changed all that
when he introduced, a few seasons
ago, a new character of compositions
for his charges-after he had selected
them with care for their fitness to do
some really meritorious singing. Now
it is becoming the fashion, in other
glee clubs, to follow Harvard's lead.
In time We shall find our standard OF
university singing materially raised.
The latest Harvard Glee Club con-
cert, given a few evenings ago in
Carnegie Hall, was one to stir the
pride of any red-blooded American.
Bach, Lii Boulanger, some Russian
folk songs, and other pretentious mu-
sic, were interpreted with artistic fin
ish that made the large and discrim-
mating audience applaud as it should.
There was only one noticeable weak
ness in the personnel of the club
it's tenors. They were thin and weak.
Perhaps We will eventually hear a lit
tie more robustness of tone in this
section of Harvard's choir, and less of
the necktie order, which never gets
anywhere.
Music School Supervisors.
Before another half dozen years have
passed we shall have proved how es-
sential is the teaching of music in
the public schools. The resistance
which. until a short time back, was
so persistently maintained, is now al
most removed. Having demonstrated
what interest most of the school chill
dren take in singing, or in playing
some music instrument, the public
school music supervisors are being
welcomed in most places throughout
the country with the open arms they
deserye.
New York is preparing thousands
Of young people for future ..appiness
in being able to appreciate good mu-
sic. So are other cities, and many
towns which are fortunate in having
as citizens men and women who have
made the discovery that music helps
the child in his other studies and con-
tributes to his contentment and gen
eral welfare.
Cleveland has just acted as host to
the National Music Supervisors Con-
ference, and progressive one it turn
ed out to be. During 1923 hundreds
of thousands of dollars will be spent
by United States boards of education
to advance the cause of music in It's
schools. Analysis of the situation dis
closes the reason. We have become
the most musical nation on earth.
Scotti's Anniversary.
Who is there to whom the name
Antonio Scott does not suggest hap
piness and song? Next autumn will
mark the 25th anniversary OF the cell
ebrated baritone as a member OF New
York's Metropolitan Opera Company.
We were studying music when we first
heard the voice of the Italian bari
tone, and observed his histrionic abil-
ity. Since then his career has been
followed with interest and pleasure.
For be is one of the most reliable, as
well as one of the most completely
equipped, of any foreign opera ar
fist who ever came to this country.

dances ranged from the Hebraic
Salome of pre- Christian times, through
typical dances of Hungary, Russia,
and Spain, which have no definite
period as they are national, to the
thoroughly modern French mood in
depreciation dances of La Cygne"
and the "Danse Macabre." Her CO.'S
tunes were appropriate to each inter-
probation. Miss Katharine Clarke
gave excellent support in her piano

publishing director, o. G.. Sonneck
