Friends of Jazz
Protest Its Entry

New York, Dec. 22.-(By the Asso-

turo Bodansky, Viennese conductor
of the Metropolitan Opera Company,
That jazz may yet find a place as a
dance form in Grand Opera. has STIR
red up gale in the musical teapots
OF New York. The creators of Jazz
have rallied to the defense of their
medium and make it clear that, at
least for the present, jazz wants no
place in the Metropolitan. They
even declare that such place would
be fatal to jazz.
THE best way to ruin jazz, is to
dress it up in an opera cspe and put
it in the diamond horseshoe of the

exponent of true jazz, today. The
other jazzists agree heartily with Mr..
Lewis. They think Jazz justifies it,

continued. "If an American compos-

them and in quick succession. Hence
jazz! An American opera will have
to be in jazz tempo. for jazz tempo

ing card which the Eastern Athletic
Club offers to the fans as Christ
mas afternoon fistic menu. The main
bout brings the old rivals, Jimmy
Kid Rice and Tommy Fleurant to-
gether, and a New England cham
pion appears on the bill in the person
of Harry Goldstein of Boston. Des-
pite the fact, that Goldstein, puzzled
by Menards Greb-like style, was nos
ed out at the last show, local fans
recognized him as a master boxer.
He should make a great battle with

to stage a comeback with Willie
Stone of Boston. The local welter-
weight tried to come ahead too fast
when he took matches with Cote and
fighters of longer experience and
more ability than himself. Now he
will go along in natural channels,
