White Rose hits it's mark, boldly

THOSE who have at heart the prog
United States are realizing with salts
faction and admiral ton the valuable
work of thoughtful orchestra conduc-
tors In large motion picture theaters
throughout the country. Many Of
these men are presenting programs
that are well balanced in their appeal
to the large audiences who come to
view the pictures. They are familiar
iZing individuals not accustomed to
hearing the works of master COM
posers with these high-g grade compo-
sitions and they are showing the
ultra -conSerVative music lovers of the
old school the possibilities for music
in jazz.
A leader of the group of conductors
who emphasize the latter phase of
orchestral music in these theaters is
Hugo Riesenfeld. who departed lately
for London and Paris to show Euro
Deans what jazz means to Americans.
Mr.. Eiesenfeld is conductor of the
orchestra at the Capitol Theater in
New York. Carl Engel. head of the
music division of the Congressional
Library in Washington, is quoted as
saying to Mr.. Riesenfeld upon his de-
parturc:
1T is high time that a man of your
competence and taste presents this ex-
traordinary native product of ours
with all the brilliance, refinement and
artistry it is capable of. Europeans
will at last learn why serious mu-
sicians of their own, returning from
America. have extolled the singular
charms of jazz when played as you
do it,"
Daniel Breeskin, Washington s
pioneer motion picture symphony di-
rector and a popular orchestra leader,
yesterday was appointed by Harry NJ.

symphony orchestra of thirty solo
artists at the Metropolitan Theater,
