New Producing Firm.

THE new firm of theatrical pro-
ducers recently Incorporated un-
der the title, Brackett Hawks -Ryley
Corporation, comprises Raymond O.
Bracket, a business man of Boston
and Marblehead, Mass; Wells Hawks
of the firm of Wells Hawks & John
WILDER Jenkins. and Thomas w.
Ryley. long prominent as New
York producer.
Mr.. Ryley has just returned from
Europe, where at Salzberg he was
guest of Emmerich Kalman, the COM
poser, whose music is now the rage of
the continent. He brought back with
him the American production rights
of the composers latest opera, 'Des
Hollandweibchen" c'Dutch Girl'o.
This will be the corporations first
production, and Mr.. Ryley will begin
casting for it at once.
Mr.. Bracket. who heads the cor
poration, has for some years been
identified with business activities in
Boston and vicinity and is we'll
known in New York. He is grad
uate of Harvard of the class of 1907.
During the war he served as a lieu
tenant commander in the Navy and
was on duty in the hazardous task of
mine sweeping in the North Sea. He
is a chevalier of the Legion of Honor,
and when Marshal Foch visited this
country he was in charge OF his ma
tion-W ide tour.
Mr.. Bracket was national vice
commander of the American Legion

commander. Mr.. Bracket is said also

tender. She has a keen sense of
humor and has written d number of
humorous songs for children. Her
negro melodies, several of which
have been published, have a gay lilt
and swing.
Miss Bassett says she is often seized
with inspiration at most unexpected
moments. She may be cleaning her
pet car or wedding the garden, and
an idea may cOme-operations cease
at once, there is dash for her piano
in the lovely old living room and for
u time the whole world is forgotten.
Her mother comes first in her life,
she says, then my animals and the
birds on the place. We have heaps of
birds and we have planted things
all over the place that would attract
them. When L practice my singing
or compose a song they come by the
dozens and sing just outside my win
dowS, and they are a great inspira
ton to me in my music. Mother is
such a help to me in my work, she
always knows when ] am in a musical
trance, and | am never disturbed.
When a song is complete / play
and sing it for her, and her criticism
is always valuable. For relaxation
or exercise we go off for a ride, the
horse and my Airedale and I, some
times for an hour and sometimes for
four hours. I'm not fond of golf or
cards, probably because l do not play
either Well"
Miss Bassett is just five feet tall. In
spite of her sauCy eyes and nose
slightly turned skyward, she is a
serious minded young woman who
has already firmly established her
self as a composer and a singer.
although l always sing my own
things worse than anything else
probably because you never think of
working Oh your own things-and
you can't accomplish anything unless
you give each thing the attention il
deserves" says Miss Bassett. part of
my creed is to do anything from
song, as well as it is in me to do it.
II we do each days small things well
when the big things come along we
are fitted to do them.
Another part of my creed is never
TO accept failure. Never to measure
my success by somebody else. The
world is big enough for everybody 10
make a success of himself. And if
you have worked out your own
talents faithfully YOU are bound to
be happy. no matter what any one
else is doing. Success lies in work in <
out your own highest point of de-
velopment.
4 think that studying music abrOa q
does this one indispensa BILE thing for
girl--it takes her away from her
friends. Friends take time and at
tention from your work and keep you
from that concentration which is so
necessary during study. If you can,
cut loose from all kind tentaclcs
which friendship and affection put
out. This period of concentration
should not, however, be stretched in
def1nitely-otherwise you find your
self in a rut.
II know that no matter what else

music-songs ! believe. 7 should like
my songs to do two things-paint
pictures and be of some help in
making the world just a little happier
for somebody. In my song Take Joy

feeling in the music so that when the
audience should hear it they would
really go home taking joy with

Broken Barriers" was among the
first of the notable directors of the

course, that sex should be handled in

among producers to emphasize the
sex motive, to pander to the lower
elements of human taste, to capitalize

Washington Composer Wins
Fresh Successes.

r. Deane Shure, director of music
of the Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Episcopal Church South, who has been
very successful in securing publica-
tion of his compositions during the
past year, has within the past three
weeks received notice from a number
OF publishers that additional of his
works are to be put on the market at
once.
AT the time of the publication OF
his Lyric Washington" piano
suite descriptive of the Capital, Har-
Vey Gaul, himself a noted composer
ana music critic of the pittsburgh
PoSt requested Mr.. Shure to write a
male chorus for his Apollo Club, COM
posed of $50 men. Trumpet to Me-
decidedly modern work, was writ
ten to meet this request. Mr.. Gaul
was so pleased with it, terming it one
OF the best in recent years, that he
sent it to publishing house, and it
was accepted Immediately and will be
issued at once
Other works now being published
are two piano numbers, Scatter
flakes" and "Tendertryst"; a sacred
solo, Il Need Thee, Savior" and a
mixed chorus, BLESSED Ones, Come
Unto Me"
Mr.. Shure plans to give a concert
each month, starting in October, at
the Mount Vernon Place Church, in
which the various music organiza-
lions VIII unite. The first will be
made up entirely of his compositions,
and the program will include Lyric
Washington" for piano and organ: a
suite of four piano numbers, based
on the tails of birds entitled Mead
ow Madrigals'; The Twenty-Third
isalm and blessed Ones, Come Unto
and 81 Need Thee Savior" baritone
solo.
y few vacancies exist in all four
parts IN the Mount Vernon Chorus
and any desiring to join should get

To Be Done Without
Make-Up.

FOR the first time in the history of
Paramount Pictures, a, feature
production is to be made without the
use of grease paint or makeup.
The picture is Zane Grey's 1.-THE
Border Legion" which is being film
ed in the rugged country where the
story was first narrated to Mr.. Grey.
1t deals with the exploits of a band
of outlaws called 1.-The Border Le-
gion" and the stand made against
them by determined citizenry,
Because the story is practically all
outdoors and because the usual mo-
tion picture makeup lightens the
skin SO that it photographs uniform
white, it was determined to do away
with makeup for this picture, and to
photograph the principals as they
really are.
William Howard is directing. and
Antonio Moreno, Helene Chadwick.
Charles Ogle, Rockliffe Fellowes and
Gibson Gowland are in the cast num-
bering more than 100 players. The
story was prepared for the screen by

realism that recalls a certain phase

lied by the Bureau of Engineering
This is part Of the 1924 program and

for more powerful transmitters than

experts in the Navy Department that
aside from the increase in the flying
radius Of aircraft, nothing is moro
important than radio communication
of an air force
The claim is made that these new
transmitters can be manufactured by
the Washington navy yard at con
siderable less cost than the contract
price for this type of equipment Part
of this saving will be due TO the sal
vaging of obsolete sets now at the
naval aircraft factory at PhIladel-
