ANNACASE
IN NEW
SONGS
Novelties Of Scandinavia Are
"a Real Gold Nine" Says
Singer Of Thursday

Anna Case, the famous Amer
lean soprano and concert singer,
who gives q recital here at the
National Theater on Thursday
afternoon at 4:3O, under the man
agement Of the T. Arthur Smith
concert bureau, finds it very diff
ficult to secure new material for
her program since she requires
songs not only Of a high stand
ard, but containing certain pop
ular appeal. Then, too, it is nee
essary that these songs be in
harmony with her voice and tenn
permanent.
One of the first to introduce
Scandinavian songs, Miss Case has
found in this literature "A real
gold mine" of song literature.
She has used Swedish, Norwegian
and Danish songs more than any
other American artist, and be-
ing the first in the field has
secured some very old ones, many
Of which are now out Of Print
and unobtainabie.
Songs of America.
In her last New York recital
Miss Case introduced three new
French songs. one of Nerini, 4
name that had never before figured
On a program in this country,
and two by Chauvet, all Of which
made a hit. The story is told
that when Miss Case found these
songs she bought all the copies
then to be had in New York to
insure them as novelties on her
program.
To our younger American com.
posers she has ever been loyal.
Naturally she has used the songs
Of Charles Gilbert Spross, Tor sew
eral years her able accompanist, a
great deal. Alexander Russel's
Sacred Fire she has featured con-
stantly, as well as songs by Fay
Foster, Pearl G. Curran and the
blind composer, Roland Farley.
Miss Case has recently added her
own name to the list IT Am eric1n
composers from which she tlrows
her material. Her first, effort, "So,ig
Of the Robin, was written & few
summers ago. She recently COM
pleted another beautiful song, IAN.
helo, sung in Spanish, which has
had great success.

Seymour Precepts On
Teaching Of
Music

When Harriet Ayres Sey-
nour, Of New York, gave a talk
on music at the new Washing
ton branch Of the Seymour
School Of Musical Re- Education
last week she said a very strik-
ing thing about an essential in
music education.
listenl"
Mrs. Seymour's first precept
for children in music, which APP
plies also to grown-ups who
have been following mechanical
technique and not finding the
music first, is:
"Know the music, the real
music you desire to produce,
then learn to do it."
Just as right thinking is the
, stlrest basis for right living so
this modern educator - who
stresses her thought by calling
it re-education" believes that
music must come from within.
A deep love Of music, a know
ing of it in heart and brain, is
the best guide post to doing it
! well.
"Then all these things may
be added unto" the music
maker. Let the heart dictate,
then the hours of technique, of
music's grammar, will be a
roseate path toward its liter
AZURE.
Helen Burkart, director Of the
Washington branch for the
Seymour School, had tea for
Mrs Seymour after her inter
asfinp talk.

Lhevinne AS Artist
OF Chickering
Piano

By an error, The Times music
editor spoke last week of Josef
Lhevinne, the famous pianist, as
a player of a piano he is mot
using.
The Chickering piano is
played by Mr.. Lhevinne. The
Arthur Jordan Piano Company
is the Washington home Of the
Chickering.
History of famous musical in
struments is often told by the
name of the great artists who
have used these instruments.
We go back into history to
find that Gounod, noted COM
poser of the opera, Faust"
played the Chickering. Busoni
also used this piano. And of
the, artists of today there are
Dohnanyi, Germaine Schnitzer,
Ely Ney, to name a few, who
have found the Chicekring re-
sponsive to their musical re-
quirements.

The town, then had the right to provide for the compensation of members of the town school commit tee. They were compensated, by or ders drawn upon the town treasurer by the seIectmen of the town. l am inclined to think that the payments ought to have been regarded as in- eluded in "The expenses of main taining public school" which the statute makes it the duty of the school committee to order paid. However, if the members of the Committee were entitled to receive compensation, it hardly lies now in the mouth of the town tO claim its repayment because the orders were drawn by the wrong official; and certainly such a situation would not justify an injunction against a town and its officers who protest their willingness Co abide by the law when they are instructed what it ls.
