this work not as student but as
genuine professional scoring.
Closes Lawrence Season.
From a concert standpoint the
"Meistersinger" prelude was ex-
cellent in the use of woodwinds for
strings and in the fine motive"
delineation, under Mr.. Martin, the
climax and big march finale. There
was gusto, also, in the final Erkel
with Mr.. White obtaining a rich
tone-drama of the music.
Incidentally, this was part OF
the final concert of Bob" Law
rence's winter community music
program at Central High School.
There were incidental solos with
a unique novelty, when George Nc
Cauley gave a tenor banjo march
of his own, 20 band accompaniment
arranged by Student William E.
Rice. With dainty Irna Calvert
at the piano in songs and accom-
paniments, these two entertainers
proved prime favorites.
Robert Lawrence. Jr., played
most appealingly for violin, the
Lullaby" from Jocelyn and Saint
Saens' Swan" accompanied most
artistically by his mother. Mrs. Rob-
ert Lawrence. And the Lawrence
School Glee Club. three-part
woman's chorus. gave some very
artistic choral selections.

cUNSToN HALL SINGERS
IN JAPANESE FANTASY

A novelty, in the form of a
Japanese Fantasy in costume and
action. was presented by the pupils
0f the vocal department of Custom
Hall School on Monday evening,
May 25.
The Fantasy was arranged and
conducted by Nellie Floyd Cutler
head OF the vocal department. The
songs were most attractive, varied
and contrasting in character, fol.
lowing the Japanese models with
their peculiar Intervals built on
the five-toned scale. The action
of the singers was spontaneous
naive and simple befitting the por,
trayal of the little Japanese maiden
Characteristic dances were in.
terspersed throughout the program
In dainty gracefulness, illustrative
Of the merry whirl OF the Geisha
girls amid the cherry bloom of
the Flowery Kingdom.
The charming and effective
arrangement Of the stage as a
Japanese garden deserves special
mention and formed an appropriate
setting for the gay colors Of the
Idmonos, yying with those of the
blossoms--cherry bloom. lilacs and
wisteria. 1t was an unique success
as well as a pleasing novelty in
the form of a song recital.

was brought all the way from Its
native South American home just
to honor this occasion and to bring
a message in music from the Presi.

the, President OF another.
It is the greatest marimha band
in existence.
Franklin Adams, councillor Of sthe

They. have been the palace band,
for the President Of Guatemala
for four years, which emphasizes
the official dignity Of their pres
SOFT, vital, strong in the ac.
cent of rhythm or syncopation, yet
always peacefully sweet, the music
Of the InariInba has somewhat the
quality of the wood-wind instru.
merts of an orchestra.
Do you know what they are?
1t seems rather odd that these
flat instruments, played upon by
padded hammers. like drumsticks,
should have such rich possibilities
in music. They not alone play
most delightful dance music, but
an opera pot-pourri is equally az
effective or a Latin coIorful bit Of
South American music.
They look like enlarged 10Y
pianos, such as the children used to
play. Only there is an entire key
above the level keys in regular
piano form.
These keys are varying sizes of
finely apportioned wood. bound to-
gether with cord, so that nothing
but a soft substance goes into the
making OF their tone quality.
There were two of them, one
much longer than the other, the
narrow keys of the treble reaching
a much higher pitch than the other,
and treble, placed in the center of
the band" encircling the melody
with the entire harmonic scheme.
With it, for added tone effects, the
''marimbistas, as the players are
called, use bass violin and drums
and traps much as we use in our
jazz bands.
The dexterity, the surety with
which these marimbas were plaved.
was q real art. People who had
heard marimba bands in South
America said they had never heard
one so fine. The music was
ingraciating.
When, in their turn, they later
shared the dance program with
Arsenic Ralon's dance orchestra in
the beautiful ballroom, the soft
subtle music was waited out into
the moonlight gardens where that
mystic Aztec Indian-at the Mirror
Pools far-end-holds communion in
his uplifted face with Orient and
Occident of primal days, the ele-
ments out of which grows the
greater internationalism for which

Quieitely stands,

JAPAN DOES NOT
 PLAN NEW MOVE
Ambassador Denies Orders to
 Reopen Immigration Issue

Washington, March 17.-Reports that Tsumeo Matsudaira, the new Japanese ambassador to Washing ton, had received instructions before leaving Tokio to reopen the immi- grafton question upon his arrival here, were denied today by the en- voy.
 His instructions, he said, were purely of a general character de- signed to promote friendship be- tween two governments. He added however, that although the immigration question was re- garded in the United States as set tied forever, hope still was enter tained in Japan that at some future date the problem might be taken up again and another solution found &C., ceptable 10 both Tokio and Wash ington.
 Japan's attitude during the Wash ington disarmament conference and thereafter had given the world a clear view of Japan's position as re- gards arms reduction the envoy said. In view of this, he predicted that should another arms confer ence be called by President Cool idge, any invitation extended to Ja- pan would be favorably received, in principle at least.
 Actual Japanese. participation in such a conference, he added, natur- ally would depend upon the program submitted by the United States to the powers invited
 Recognition of Russia by Japan, Ambassador Matsudaira said, had been found advisable by Japan ow- ing to her peculiar political, eco- homie and geographical relations with that country. He suggested that owing to the soviet principle of not allowing commerce by individual citizens, restoration of trade to pre- war levels could not be accomplished Immediately. He hoped, however, that with the complete commercial intercourse could be resumed.
 The ambassador said Japan had taken no steps so far to settle the Chinese eastern railroad question, and he denied reports circulated in this country that Japan had en- tered into an intensive aircraft con- struction program, with an output of several hundred planes a month. Japan, like all other countries, he said, was perfectlng its air service, particularly needful because that country as yet has no commercial aviation.
 Discussing popular agitation in Japan over the American fleet man. euvers off Hawaii, the ambassador said that any misunderstanding which had arisen in Japan on this question had been settled by state
 ments put out by Japanese naval and civil authorities, explaining to
 the Japanese people the actual sit
 uation.
