danced in every State in the union,

a large dancing school in Los

HOW MUSIC INVADES
WORK OF ARCHITECTS

Music has entered the world Of
the architect. contractor and build,
er. In addition to the photograph
and the reproducing piano, the
latest types Of pipe organs make
1t possible to bring the great works
of the composers into the privacy
of the home.
Architects are keenly interested
in the bult-in organ for the home,
as many have been called upon to
arrange for construction of a room
for the instrument, and others have
announced that they expect to be
asked to build additions to house
the organs in homes already
erected.
Many of the organs now are so
constructed that the console may
be placed at one end of the music
room with special room built in
at the end or side to house the
series of pipes necessary to obtain
the same effect produced in audi.
forums and theaters.

GIee Club Of Catholic Univer-
sity Assists ST. Patrick's
Biblical Actors.

One OF the most enjoyable fea-
lures Of the Passion Play, "The
Holy City," which the st. Patrick
Players are now presenting at the
President Theater for the benefit
OF the mission churches, is the in
cldental music accompanying the
action on the stage.
Prof. c. A. Benson, leader of ST.
Patricks male choir, spent more
than month in research work at
the Library of Congress before he
finally picked the music which was
deemed appropriate for the Biblical
drama. He was assisted by Miss
Elizabeth Began, musical director
or the Players, and they decided
after examining hundreds of oper-
attic manuscripts upon Massenet's
Mary Magdalen,"H a work which
has never before been sung in
America.
The arias which are a part Of
the manuscript are in four voices
and the Glee Club of Catholic Uni
versity, an ensemble Of forty voices,
has found them happily adapted to
their talents. 'tzThe March to Cal
vary" sung in the third act, has
words and music especially written
by Prof. Benson, and is stirring
while spiritually appealing.
Besides being a talented composer
Miss Began is a capable musical
director. On the New York appear.
ance of the St. Patrick Players,
Miss Began conducted the orchestra
at the Casino Theater, and she is in
complete charge of the musical
establishment for the Passion Play.

HOLDS LONG-DISTANCE
ORGAN PLAYING RECORD

Frederick c. Morgan, organist of
the First Congregational Church Of
Vermilion, Ohio, believes he has
been playing the organ longer than
any man in the United States.
Recent publication in the Ameri-
can Magazine Of an article on Uncle
Joshua Allen, of Wa1pole, Mass,
who has been playing a church or
gan fifty-eight years, directed the
attention of Mr.. Morgan's neighbors
to the fact that he had been play
ing an organ sixty-twO years, four
years longer than the Massachusetts
man.
Mr.. Morgan. who is in his sew
enty-fifth year, is a farmer living
a few miles from Vermilion. Asked
about his record as an organist, he
said:
I've been playing the organ in
the First Congregational Church of
Vermilion sixty-two years. l began
when / was twelve years old and
am still at it. OF courseMwe use a
piano great deal nowadays, but
We also use the organ, hut whether
we use the piano or the organ,
am the 'organist,' have been and
hope to be for a long time to
come"

to the clayichord he has made in
his own workshop, gem of crafts

in the London Morning Post. "As
he plays upon it and displays its
marvellous subtleties of tone. you
understand why it was Bach's
favorite instrument, and register
a vow to possess one yourself some
day.
"Mr. Dolmetsch, to whom it is
clearly a favorite child, will not
even allow that its small tone makes
it unsuitable for modern concert
performances. He has played to
two thousand people, and it's tone,
he asserts, has carried perfectly.
True, it is too tender an instru-
ment ever to play concerted music,
or even to accompany the human
voice.
els it surprising, he asks, that
this divinely shy instrument has
been unable in a noisy and hustlng
age to compete with the modern
piano, which in mere strength can
