PHoNOGRAPH POPULAR
IN CHILE RESIDENCES

monographs and talking ma
chimes have now reached a point of
popularity in Chile where homes of
the better class. especially those in
which there are young people. are
not considered complete without
them as a means of entertainment,
reports Rollo S. Smith, secretary to
the commercial attache at Santiago
IN report to the Department of
Commerce. The Chileans are great
lovers of music, and the modern
craze for dancing has taken so
strong a hold on them that it is not
surprising that the popularity of
these instruments is so marked.
The Chilean people, even in the
metropolis Of Santiago, are not
given to frequenting public places of
'amusements in the evening. They
prefer to limit their public social &C.
tivities to promenades in the parks
and plazas, attending theaters, con-
certs and receptions before dinner
and dedicating the later hours to
home life

Agustin Borguno is no prodigy"
He has already arrived" He dem
onstrated to me that beyond all
doubt Washington is to be congrat-
ulated upon attaining as a perma.-
nent resident a composer and plan
ist Of such real ability.
Borguno's compositions are being
brought out monthly in Spain, and
already American publishers are
angling to obtain the publishing
rights for his works. The cata-
logue Of his work includes every
thing from popular dance forms
tango, habanera, etc.-to concert
waltzes, symphonic numbers, and
descriptive works like "A Night in
Seville" and THE Two Lovers"
Agustin Borguno is a native of
Catalina. the only province in Spain
that has it's own language. He went
to school to learn Spanish, but
spoke the Catalonian language at
home.
He studied piano and harmony
with Enrique Granados, the noted
Spanish composer, and exponent of
III
Borguno is of the same school as
Manuel de FaIla and Albeniz.
Though he is both light and serious
in his moods, he favors the light,
romantic style. Dance music-par-
ticularly folksongs-interests him
intensely, and he has employed al
most every known Spanish tempo,
together with several that are dis
tVNin
At the piano, Borguno is wiz
ard at extemporiZation. He has an
outstanding gift of melody and for
warmth Of harmony and atmos-
phere he is not unlike Rudolf
Friml, though his compositions are
decidedly more fiery.
Since coming to America Borguno
has concerned himself with or
cne"tl atinn 10 - great degree. and
his various orchestral arrange
ments of popular American NUM-.
bers have won him widespread
recognition among directors and
critics.
Like the late Joaquin Valverde
and Manuel Padella, Borguno Is
particularly anxious to delve in
tne HBnt opera idlom. That he
knows that field is proven by his
deliberations with q. Marttn,iz
Sierra, the most popular of con-
temporary Spanish playwrights--a
sort of Sn"H 81 Guy .5ol'o" 'vhn
writes everything from sentimental
comedy to revue libretti-and his
knack Of WHITING ~ q gcand "se
mood, mood comparable to that
of Herbert. He is dainty, gracious,
skilled and spontaneous in all that
he attempts.
When Jan CARRIER and his or
chestra were at the Metropolitan
not so long ago they played Boz.
guno's orchestral setting of "Chali-
sonette." by Friml, and it proved
that Borguno has many of the
qualities of Strauss and the late
Claude DeBussy as far as harmonic
value is concerned.
