Music of the Ancients
Described.

a RCHAELOGY, art and music were
\ delightfully."- combined last sun
day afternoon at the art center,
when w. H. H. Smith. authority on
Solomon's Temple, gave a, talk on the
models OF the famous temple recently
brought to Washington from Jerusa-
lem and now being exhibited In the
assembly hall of the Y. NJ. c. A.
twice daily, at pm. and Pm, in
Guiding Sunday.
The models are so large that only
a small part Of the temple area was
conveyed to the art center-the tenn
pie proper, which Mr.. Smith exhibited.
He described the quaint musical in
struments Of David and Soiomon's
used by the Levites in acts of wor-
ship. Music was never used except
for religious purposes during the
tabernacle period, 1000 B. c. One of
the models shows the musicians play
ing outside the tabernacle.
Mr. Smiths lecture was preceded
by a musical program given by Mrs.
by Mrs. Irene NJ. Chainey. She sang
THE Answer" by Terry; THE Birth
day." by woodman, and ''washington,
My Washington" the new national
ode to the Capital city, by Byrd Mock,
set to the tune of Maryland, My
Maryland" Robert Lawrence has
adopted this song as one of the regu-
lar songs for community singing.
The program was completed by
violin selections played by Miss Mil
dred Hoover. Her numbers included
'Intermezzo," by Bizet, and the
''Mlynarsky Mazurka," played with
beauty of tone.

Prince of Pilsen
Breaks Records

lNyORD comes from st. Louis that
w all records in tho long history of
Gustav Luders' Prince Of Pilsen" and
all records OF the st. Louis Municipal
Theater were broken by the seat sale
OF more than $4,000 for the week
which ended last Sunday.
That is $1,000 more than the largest
seat sale ever recorded for one week
IN municipal operas five years. The
next largest was $4,000 for Kalman's
Miss Springtime" of last year.
st. Louis entertained the interna-
tfonal rotary convention on Tuesday
night-the rotarians by vote having
chosen The Prince of Pilsen" from
this years repertory for that purpose
and an audience OF 1900 saw the
performance. From Tuesday until the
close of the week with Sundays per-
formance there was not d vacant seat
in the theater and crowds unable TO
get in lined the fences surrounding.
Altogether $1,000 persons saw The
Prince of Pilsen" during the week
or that number there were at least
1900 each night in the free-seat sec
tion which Municipal Opera maintains
that no st. Louisan may be deprived
OF the pleasure of the entertainment
for lack of price. The use of the new
sound amplifier and tone equalizing
device made 1t possible to hear every
word and every note in all parts OF
the theater throughout the entire
week, and audience and management,
were delighted with it's result

too quickly. It's value as entertain

At a recent dinner Of the music
critics of London, Sir Thomas
Beecham, millionaire English grand
opera patron, gave a satirical ad-
dress that created a sensation. He
said among other things:
Never in the history Of music has
there been SO little good music writ
ten or so much bad music written
and performed. We have never
before struck such a really rotten
patch Of music. Composers-there
are none; sinEers,-very few; or
chestras are almost nonresident"
These are surely strong statements
and seem quite revolutionary to
come from a Britisher.

be the old original he-evil after his
diplomatic dicifer in the garden with

And. as she wondered, a gIoriously
boisterous chuckle bubbled into the
tomb-like quiet. A man had come in
with couple of larkish girls, one
or them wearing a shiny gold school
medal. and when they bubbled out
of distance il came to the woman
that though the present-day brother
Iacks the mysterious glamor of his

And cheerfulness is a splendid thing.

three years of the Washington Sym
phony Orchestra. He was also an &C
tive member Of the Metropolitan Club

Anthony Bagarozy and
Opera.

Anthony Bagarozy of New York
city has announced an intention to
start permanent grand opera COM
pany in the fall for performances
both in the metropolis and on tour
For a quarter OF century Mr.
Bagarozy has been deeply interested in
operatic matters both in the United
states and Europe: He. expresses it
as his firm belief that America Is
and that the result Will be the elm
! tnatton of some of the evils now con-
sidered essential in American grand
opera production. He says In this
connection:
"Prominent among these necessary
evils Is the star system by which
the public has been trained to pat
ronize name instead of an art. To
attempt to abolish the star system
seems a hopeless impossibility at
present. and the. individual who

we'll aware. The English language
lacks no vigorous epithets with which
he may be belabored, and they range
from fdotic tiealist to plain damn
fool Still 1 do not hesitate to pre-
dict that the star system is due for
decline in America during the next
two or three decades. and that event.
ually 1t will be possible for every
progressive community to maintain
an opera company that will certainly
not be disgrace to the art Such a
happy state of affairs will come
about when more attention is given
TO the general all-sround excellence
of performances, instead of to one or
two highly-touted and oyerpatd

AMERICAN COMPOSERS
Reginald de Koven..

ID EGINALD DE KovEN, composer

800 songs. symphonies and piano
compositions.
Mr.. de Koven was born in Middle

an Episcopal clergyman. In 1872 his
father accepted call to England and
took his son with him. This gave
him the opportunity to attend OK
ford University. from which he was
graduated in 1885, the youngest man
ors. He then went to the continent
and studied music under noted mas
ters in Stuttgart, Florence. Paris and
Vienna.
Upon comp!etion Of his studies. he
duced successfully in 1881 by the Nc
Call Opera Company. Two years later
the Bostonians, the largest light opera
organization in the United States, put
on Don Quixote." followed the next
stant success, and has kept up a fine
record. 1t probably has more song

prior to his death. He is s'quoted as
having said just few moments be-

This Is a wonderful time for me.
