unqualified success, and that Mrs.
Carter would achieve a triumph in

AMERICAN COMPOSERS
Margaret Ruthven Lang

dorm into a musical household and
ID reared on the best products of
the old masters, as we'll as the
choicest of modern music, Margaret
Ruthven Lang has made remarkable
strides in the field of composition.
and today is worthy of the distinction
of being one of the best American
woman composers.
Margaret Ruthven Lang began
writing music when about twelve
years old. One of her first compost
tions was a quintette of one move
ment, for strings and pianoforte.
written for herself and her little
friends-and her later works have
fulfilled this early promise. having
constantly increased in interest, in
beauty and in value.
She was born in Boston, November
27, 1867, her mother being an excel
B. L. Lang, a distinguished musician.
He was constant advisor to his
daughter and she grew up under
his tutelage. He encouraged her not
| criticism he desired to give the world
no amateurish production. When a
| composition satisfied him, then only
did the daughter publish IT: but she
| was always faithful to her own
vision, and would never change note
or bar unless she felt the criticism to
be true to her ideal.
One evening she waited hours for
her fathers return in order to show
him a song she had written. He went
over it slowly twice, handed 1t to
her with smile and said: That's
all right; you can do anything you
| like with it,"
Miss Lang also helped her father
in his various work until his death In
1909. laying her own duties aside
whenever he needed her in his un-
| renting labor.
She began the study of the piano
under one of her fathers pupils and
contiued under his own direction: She
Schmidt in Boston; continued under
Dreschler and Abel in Munich during
the seasons OF 1856 and 1887 and pur-
sued there her studies in fugue and
orchestration under Victor Gluth. On
returning to America she studied
orchestration with George w. Chad
wick ard with Edward A. Mcdowell.
One of the greatest honors to come
to Miss Lang was bestowed on her
April 6. 1893, by the Boston Symphony
Orchestra under Nikisch, which per-
formed her "Dramatic Overture, Op.
12" This was the first orchestral
work by a woman to be played at
those concerts. At the time William
sex need not be introduced in order
to have good said of it. The general
character Of the work is passionate
with a warmth that seems wholly
genuine and unsought; and now and
then with more idyilic moments of
much beauty: and the orchestration Is

Some time ago it was her ambition
that one of her sons should become a
great. singer. The lad did have good
voice. He sang in joint recital with
his mother this particular season. On
certain hot day in July the audience
was sympathetic and the applause

he tripped on rug and fell. He lit on
his nose. His nose bled in streams.
The audience broke into snickers and

All the time there was a chuckle in
her voice and twinkle in her eye
that made of her sons near-tragedy a
pretty comedy. The mother saved the
day for her son. The audience caught
glimpse of the mother side of the
great artist that brought her closer
than ever to their hearts.

Compliment Owen Davis.

WHEN Sam H. Harris presented
"Icebound," which will be seen
in this city during the season, the
author, Owen Davis. was the recipi-
ent of many congratulatory letters
from brother dramatists and authors
generally. Some of these will be of
interest to theatergoers who may
want to see this Pulitzer prize play.
William Lyon Phelps, one of the
judges of the Pulitzer prize contest,
wrote Mr.. Davis: I'm addition to the
formal award of the Pulitzer prize,
wish personally to express to you my
admiration for "Icebound" 1t is a
powerful. original, admirable Ameri-
can play. and fully deserves the
prize"
Daniel Frohman wrote: Tcebound'
is one of the most beautiful of Amer
lean plays ever written. and contains
the skill in characterization of Pinero
with the charm that is Barrie's great
work.
Rex Beach: Tcebound is the best
100 per cent play, performance and
production we have seen this year.
The theme is big and true and ele-
mental, and handled with utmost
skill. 1t is perfectly cast"
Fanny Hurst: "A fine play as hon
estly American as good corned beer
and cabbage"
Cosmo Hamilton: Tcebound is
without a doubt one of the rare great
plays of the last twenty years, which
stands alongside the work of Gorky,
Tolstoi and st. John Ervine. 1t is
true-as true as lighthouse. In
characterization and treatment II is
perfect, with startling moments that
fairly take ones breath away. 1t
goes up and up to end that would
make a sphinx weep. 1t is an epic
and will live"
Some of the critics, however, were
not SO complimentary either of the
play or of the judges that awarded 1t
the Pulitzer prize.

thoughts of the individuals of the
great race which had been in cap-
tivity for more than 800 years.
Great indeed was this opportunity
to portray the drama of a great ma
ton, but greater was the opportunity
to prove that the fundamental body
of ethical law which arose from the
travail and the mistakes of these men
and women of 1900 years ago is lust
as potent today as then.
Many people have asked me why
l am making a divided picture Of The
Ten Commandments' why the first
portion is a biblical prologue and the
last strictly modern story.
If were to have a biblical story
only, 1t would have been interesting
as a spectacle, and II would have had
a great many interesting and dra-
matte moments. But your really pow
erful drama must always come from
contrast
I'VE snow the incidents relative to
the genesis of the Ten Command
ments in Old Testament days, and
then we change our scene to San
Francisco Of 1923, and we portray, in
a dramatic manner. the truth that,
although everything else has changed
since Moses opened the Red sea, the
Ten Commandments are absolutely
unaltered. They are effective in pre-
SlStIy Inc SdIne way MS "nen IhGy
were handed down on Mount Sinai.
"A character of our modern story
has the mistaken idea that just be-
cause in 5000 years we have ex-
changed roughwoven rags for tai
lored suits and five-do1lar necktfes,
and because we now travel in auto
mobiles instead of on donkey backs,
there has been a similar change in
the underlying ethics which a Su-
preme Being has decreed must always
regulate the action of one human be-
ing toward others.
This is not a religious picture. We
have used at least part of the Ten
Commandments in practically every
stage drama or motion picture which
has ever been made. The conflict of
right and wrong. which the Com
mandments represent. has always
been the basis Of all drama. The
present, however. Is the first attempt
ever made to put directly before the
people of the world the Ten Com
mandments in their relation to an
cient as well as modern life.
"As I say, this picture. Is not re-
ligious, but do have the feeling that
few will be able to leave its success
sion of dramatic incidents without
running over in their minds thoughts
which perhaps have been foreign to
them hitherto."
