HEAR DIR. SPAETH
Critic Says Classical Music Is just
Permanent Music.

The lecture. given by DR.. Sigmund
SrGeth, nationally known musical au-
thority of New York City, to the Miss
Adeline Bardenwerper' class and
friends in the ballroom of the Gunter
Hotel Friday afternoon was one OF
the most interesting of the many talks
given by this delightful lecturer
throughout music week.
DR.. Spaeth took for his subject the
title Of his book which will be released
next month. The Common Sense OF
Music" He showed by convincing
argument and illustrations on the AM
pico how everybody loves music and
it is only question of better under
standing that makes many people
afraid of the so-called classical
music but which DIR. Spaeth prefers TO
call the permanent music he blames
the attitude of many of the musical
leaders and critics for the condition OF
music today. His plea is for the 80
per cent of human being who love
music but are inclined TO take 1t in Its
simplest forms because they have not
been made TO see that the melodies
and heart music that they love is more
surely embodied into the great music
if only they will try and find it. DR..
Spaeth's theory is not to deride or dis
courage the humble enthusiasm of the
unsteady uneducated nor to condemn
any form of music no matter how
crude but by gentle persuasion and
kindly tolerance to lead them TO the
better music of the maste~s. This
theory which is really his serious mis-,
sion is the basis of the subject treated
in his book. ...,
In order not to be too serious with
the younger folk who made up part oil
his audience DR.. Spaeth concluded ms
program with some musical tricks oil
his own origination and also sang as
final encore Give Man Horse ne
Can Ride accompanied by the GhlcN-
ering Ampico. furnished through me

The pupils of Miss Adeline Barden-
werper and their friends were given a
rare treat Sunday afternoon in the re-
cital given by Senior Ramon Cardona.
Spanish pianist in the ballroom of the
Gunter Hotel. The hearty applause OF
the large audience showed the sincere
appreciation accorded the gifted artist.
Senior Cardona's thorough under
standing of Chopin won the approval
of even his most discriminating critics,
the group by this composer being the
first numbers on his well-balanced
program. However, it was his Schu-
bert selections that gave the most de-
light and brought out the remark why
was not Schubert played more fire.
quently by the concert artists" The
lmpromptu. + Flat Major by Schubert
was interpreted with brilliancy and
depth of understanding of the greatest
song writer of all ages.
Ii was perhaps in the List group
including the Tarentella. the Ave
Maria by Schuiert-Liszt and the
Etude. Paganni-Liszt that the really
great art Of Senior Cardona was real

in such feeling, and with exquisite
technique as to place the pianist in
