THE White Sister," the eliminating
triumph of Lillian Gish's career as a
screen artist. will have its Washing
ton premiere this afternoon at the
National Theater. Exhibitions will
be given twice daily
1.-THE White Sister" has a story
unusual in theme, and its settings are
those OF the actual locale of the
famous novel by r. Marion Crawford,
from which the motion picture was
drawn.
It concerns the love Of Angela
lChiaramonte. daughter Of an Italian
prince, for Capt. Severi, an officer of
the Italian army. Angela is betrayed
by her sister, after her fathers death,
and Is left alone in the world, sus-
tanned only by Severis love for her.
Severi, called by his nation to a post
In the African desert, is reported
killed. and Angela, grief-stricken, be-
comes member of the order Of the
White Sisters. Three years later Sc
veri returns to Italy from captivity
by the Arabs. How Sister Angela
solves the tremendous problem of
choosing between her great earthly
love and her religious vows supplies
the powerful climax of the picture
drama. -
In the cast are Ronald Colman, in
the part of Capt. Severi; J. Barney
Sherry and Gail Kane, together with
thousands drawn from the ranks of
European players.
Made by a famous director, Henry
King, and filmed entirely in Italy, it

mercially restricted by rules and
regulations, not only by the pub
fishers, but by the working musi-
clans. The son of Otto Kahn, the
famous New Yorker banker and art
promoter, is reported to have joined
a musical union in order to secure
practical facilities for working out
his ideas. In doing. so he follows
the example of Reginald de koven,
who could not proceed to organize
an orchestra in this city until he
could show his union card, which he
did with much pride.
One snowy night after a rehearsal
he was seated in a little cafe dis
cussing the future of music. There
are mathematical limitations" he
said, ito the results that may be at
tanned by the Encouragement of the
notes of the scale, vast as the scope
appears. The day may arrive when
all the melodies have been written"
A tendency to anticipate that day
asserts itself as composers now be-
come content to seek chiefly for &C.
centric rhythms. The oldest melo-
dies, classic or folksong, .echo
through the torrertial flow of tunes.
A phonograph at sales corner is
whirling out the strains of the old
"Boccacio" march, which the Ger
mans in more joyous days adjust
ed in burlesque to the words, "Du
bist verruckt mein kind" An
inspection of the disc discloses
that it is no longer the "Boccacio"
march, but song entitled "Why Did
l Kiss That Girl?" The song known
as "The Halls of Montezuma" comes
from "The Daughter of the Regi-
ment." "Hail, Hail, the Gangs Ali
Here" is from "The Pirates of Pen
zance," and even the banana song
acknowledges indebtedness to "The
Bohemian Girl"

Musicians are not always bad busi-
ness men. Silvio Helm, who has
written some of the most delightful
melodies that musical comedy has
known. is engaged in organizing
musical interests to meet the new
mode of mechanical distribution,
radio. Authors, composers and pub
fishers were not long in securing
an arrangement which made the
phonograph a greater source of
profit than the printing press. They
are now looking to radio for royal
ties. The advantages of advertising
are conceded, but it is pointed out
that radio has already: affected the
sales of sheet music and records ad-
versely. After a song has been
mechanically popularized for a few
weeks, it begins to stale. Even the
art of music must depend more or
less on the art of salesmanship.
