SAYS HEALTH DOCTOR

Play the mouth organ because
it win keep you healthy--such is
the gist Of certain advice given
by Doctor Paul ". Winslow, q
New York specialist who has be-
come a convert to the harmonica.
Doctor Winslow relates that he
has experimental extensively with
the instrument in order to es.
tablish its therapeutic value.
|. "I have ascertained that the
harmeffica is a most effective agent
in developing the chest and respi-
ratory organs" says Doctor Wins
low, land in anaemic children
and adults a program of regu.
lar practice with the mouth organ,
which. develops breathing, results
in aeration of the. blood and tones
the system generally.
THE development Of the breath.
ing power, which can be obtained
most effectively through the har-
monica, is an important factor
In building up the body. In prac-
tfcally every form OF exercise deep
inhaling and exhaling are striven
for, and this il exactly what you
get in playing the harmonica
Therefore the hygienic results are

Any Home Atmosphere
Found in Models
Of Cheney

The "Cheney" Talking Ma
chine is photograph that is
adapted to any home because of
the large variety of so-called
periods" models in which it is
installed.
In offering the Cheney to
Washington, McHugh and Law
son, at their attractive G street
store near Thirteenth, can give
one model in the time of King
George, "The Buckingham" or a
simpler style from the time of
good Queen Anne, which is hap
PLY named "The Carlyle"
Consoles of these various pe-
RODS, that include also a Shera-
ton, Hepplewhite, an olden
Georgian or a modern Georgian
design, are ornaments to any
home. OF course it will play any
record.
One of the latest additions to
the Clancy is a specially adapt
ed telephone or loud speaker
unit which enables one to utilize
the Cheney Acoustic System as
a sound amplifier for a radio
set.

VICTORIA
. WAS GIFTED
IN ARTS
Another Glimpse of Monarch
to Refute Strachey's
Biting Biography.

Musical America says: Victoria.
Queen Of Great Britain and Ireland.
and Empress Of India, was a mu.
stefan of no mean accomplishments.
he studied singing under the great
Lablanche, who placed her voice
so perfectly that when, at an ad-
vanced age, her majesty read an
address in the Royal Albert Hall,
London, every word carried dis.
tinctly to the femotest corners Of
that huge place.
AS a pianist, too. the Queen had no
mean ability. Once Jenny Lind
sang for her, in private audience,
but suffered from an inefficient &C.
companist. Whereupon Victoria
babe the offender move on, saying
very graciously:
II, myself, will accompany Miss
Lind"
Queens FavOrite Singer.
And I dare say the dear little
soul, so cruelty painted by her
wicked biographer. Strachey, played
the accomplishments carefully and
precisely.
Among her children, the Princess
Beatrice was also an intelligent
pianist, sufficiently proficient to
play accompaniment for the Queens
favorite singer. Emma Albani, when
the latter stood up in the royal
presence to declaIm Wagnerian
solos.
OF the Queens sons, the Duke
OF Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was
known as the "fiddling prince. -
But though King Edward was Off
cially head Of the Royal College
Of Music, he preferred the Lost
Chord" to Wagner.
Prince AS Drummer.
King Edward, l take it, was a
sort Of connecting link between
royal music Of the happy, IL much.
abused. Victorian period and that
Of today.
For today the, Prince of Wales,
Edwards grandson, plays the
drum.
He plays 1t well, IL we can be.
lieve the testimony Of guests of
Rodman Wanamaker at Oyster
Bay For it was at Rodman's
dance that the prince, acting
probably upon the principle that
your real musician must make
music as well az listen to it,
marched up to the orchestra, and
drummed during two dances.

MRS. TOWNSEND
MORN|NG.OF
MUSIC
FashionabIes to Hear Great
Tenor Of Met" and a
New Prima Donna

1t is generally understood that
European audiences are the last
word in musical culture, but Ed
ward Johnson, the remarkable tenor
Of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany. who will he heard here
Wednesday Of next week. January
Z, at Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's
first Musical Morning at Rauscher's,
declares that in an intellectual
sense, America is superior.
I'm America, audiences are more
familiar with concerts, symphony
orchestras and various forms OF
orchestral work than with grand
opera" says Mr.. johnson. But it
is necessary in that sort of music
for the listener to gather his own
picture Of what 1t interprets: he
must fancy his own celors, char
acters, settings. This all takes
thought and gives rise to great
flights Of imagination.
81 maintain that American audi
ences are higher Intellectually than
European audiences-because the
American audience finds pleasure
in bringing it's own fancy to bear
on its music. The people think
more and give freer reign to their
imaginations."
Edward johnson will sing here
in joint recital with Donna Ortensia
at this first Musical Morning Of
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's at
Rauscher's.

Color : Music Perfume
In AnecdOte
OF Hale

Philip Hale, Of the Boston
Herald, published a letter from
a subscriber, of the Boston
Symphony concerts who COM
planned bitterly of the deadly
perfume affected by one of her
neighbors. Mr.. Hale said:
what would this poor woman
have done if she had seen the
performance of The Song of
Solomon in Paris in 1891?
There was an appeal to the
nose as well as to the eye and
ear.
"For the first device, the
music was in D major, the
color bright orange and the hall
was perfumed with violet. Each
scene had its particular perfume.
And when "A Trip to Japan in
Sixteen Minutes was performed
at the Carnegie Lyceum in New
York, October %, 1902, newly
invented apparatus spread per-
fumes in the hall.
"This was the first expert
mental perfume concert in
America"

INDIVIDUALITY
IS TRIUMPH
Of DANCE
Karsavina Says Art Must Be
Expressive Of itself and
Comprehensive

Dancing, like music" says Tina
mar Karsavina. sis capable Of in.
definite expansion, but always in
its own field. Although, like music,
dancing may find its pretext in a
poem, legend, a comedy or a
period, its inspiration springs from
within itself and can only be weak
ened by too much insistence on
outside considerations. The great
est triumphs OF the dance are tri-
umphs Of composition, not of Illus
tration.
Oriental, or other exotic ele-
ments, can be woven into dancing
so long as these are viewed from
the angle of the dances own con-
ventions. The case is analogous to
what has happened in Hnusic. Great
symphonic musicians have not had
authentic Oriental melodies PLAYED
on native instruments, Thew have
incorporated this material in their
own tdiom, giving us works which
are stiil expressive Of the East. It
Is the same In all art. The eirst re-
sponsibility OF art is to itself, and
itself alone.
The most essential point about
SAV aAt VI uauCIuB IS CAat IL must
be comprehensive. Its frontiers
must be extended to include the
widest possible field. Just as music
maintains its independence, SO a
dance which expresses the spirit
and movements of a musical com
position can attain to the same
degree of artistic subtlety as the
music itself.
This naturally depends on a
highly developed technic, and the
more technic is elaborated the bet.
ter dancing will be. But even this
is possible only for the few.
Dancers are born, not made"

US. Marine Orchestra
Gives Holiday
Music

The United States Marine
Band Orchestra, Captain Will
liam H. Santelmann, leader,
keeps our holiday week alive
in the world of the art music
of the orchestra, in its concer..
this afternoon at the Marine
Barracks, at 3 o'clock.
Washington need never be
without an orchestral concert.
All winter the various bands
of the United States service Of
army, navy and marines de-
vote their musical hours to the
indoor orchestra, with the re-
suit that these service" or
chestras are ranking high IN
the role of honor of orchestras
developed in America.
Captain Santelmann was the
first to engage men for his
band who used two instruments,
thus perfecting a double or
ganization within the Marine
Band.
For music lovers the con-
certs at the Marine Barracks
prove a boon and a means of
education during the weeks
when the visiting orchestras
are not with US.
There will be no concert at
the Marine Barracks Wednes-
day, December 81.
