An article in the London Daily Herald, how
ever, from the pen Of a correspondent who was
driven out of Italy by the fascist may shed some

prior to Mussolini's latest attack on the opposi-

fascists led by Roberto Farinacci an ex-sociaIist

Farinacci, speaking for his prize cutthroats,
warned BenitO that unless he stopped flirting
with consttutionalism that he would be superseded

complshed was suggested by Farinacci, as he care

Mussolini Immediately decided to give the op-

up. He suppressed several papers and gave his
assassins permission to go on an orgy of rape, ar

BY ALFRED V. FRANKENsTEIN

The thirteenth program Of the Chi
cago Symphony orchestra, given at
Orchestra Hall last Friday and Satur-
day, was completely given over to
Brahms. Three of the German mas
ters compositions were played, the
overture Academic Festival" the
third symphony and the second piano
concerto.
This program illustrated beyond a
doubt that Brahms was at his best as
a composer of pieces In small forms.
When he wrote in the large forms,
especially that of the concerto, he was
more or less of fat fire.
The "Akademische Fest" is COM
posed of four student songs woven
together in freely constructed over
ture. 1t smells of good beer and bad
cigars. 1t is very German and very
lively.
The symphony and the concerto can
be considered together. The concerto
is far worse than the symphony, but
both suffer from the same defect in
the composer.
Johannes Brahms lacked sustained
inspiration. He could write deep,
profound. stirring. wonderful melodies
sixteen measures long. After that
his flow Of melody went dry. These
short, undeniably great melodies make
up some OF the finest songs, waltzes
and short piano pieces in the literat-
ure.
Beginning Of Symphonies Best
But when Brahms started out to
complete a symphony he struck a
snag. After the statement of cap
tiyating theme at the beginning Of
every movement OF his four SYM
phonies he had to fall back or his pro-
digious knowledge OF musical science
to finish the job. The result is that
the short melody OF the opening is in
variably variated and juggled about in
SO many ways that variation ceases
TO be variation and becomes distor-
ton.
The composer ChaylSovski express
es this unsatisfactory quality in
Brahms as a symphonist by a clever
metaphor. The letter in which It ap-
pears is quoted below Tho concerto
mentioned in the first sentence is
Brahms only violin concerto. but the
criticism of this work applies to all
the symphonies and concerti of the
German.
Says Chaykovski:
"The concerto Of Brahms does not
please me better than any OF his
other works. He is certainly a great
musician. even master. but. In his
case, his mastery overwhclms his in
spiration. SO many preparations and
circumlocutions for something which

ought to come and charm us at once,
and nothing does come but boredom.
His music is not warmed by any gem
uine emotion. 1t lacks poetry, but
makes great pretensions to profundity.
These depths contain nothing; they
are void. Take the opening of the
concerto for instance. 1t is an intro
duction, preparation for something
fine; an admirable pedestal for a
statue; but the statue is lacking, we
only get second pedestal piled upon
the first. Brahms =. never express
es anything, or when he does, he fails
to express it fully. His music is made
up of fragments of some indefinable
something, skillfuIly welded together.
The design lacks definite cantour,
color, life"
This opinion of Chaykovski is per-
haps a bit exaggerated. but is never
theless true in the main.
AS we said before. the piano concerto
Of this program was far worse than
the symphony. IT is one OF the worst
concerti ever written. Except for the
third movement. there are four instead
of the conventional three) and parts
of the first, there is little music in it at
all.
Olga Samaroff, who played the solo
part in. the concerto, knows how to
play the piano. There seems not the
slightest effort in her work. She play
ed thru this long and difficult concerto
without misplacing hair. This does
not mean that her work was lifeless.
It was simply effortless, imposed,
beautiful piano playing.

McAndrew's Hypocrisy

The school teachers of Chicago who have been
resisting the autocratic rule of superintendent
McAndrew since he was appointed to his present
post, may be excused for rubbing their eyes in
wonder when they read in the papers last week.
that the local school car favored granting them
an increase in wages That the teachers are en-
titled to an increase and big increase nobody but
a miserly bourgeois taxpayer will deny But
that McAndrews is serious in recommending the
increase is not so certain. Why?
Ever since McAndrews came to this city to as
sumo his duties as superintendent he has waged
a vigorous campaign to smash the teachers coun-
ellis. He wanted complete control over the schools
and he bitterly resented the teachers-those who
charged with the task of preparing the children
of the workers for their role in lfe-having voice
in the manner this training should be done. The
very idea of union among the school teachers was
gall and NORWOOD to this lackey of big business
and he used every trick he knew of, to break down
their morale. He first made frontal attack and
he had to retreat Since then he has continued the
fight using whatever tactics he thought would
best suit his purpose So far he has been defeated
But he is persistent. Having failed to win by
frontal attack he tried flank move. Having
failed to break the solidarity of the teachers by
threats and cajolery he decided to play his hest
card. He recommended an increase in salary, to
prove that he was the teachers friend and that
they could accomplish for themselves by being
loyal to him and junking their organizations than
by fighting him. In other words, by recommending
something that he cannot deliver, he hoped to
create division among the teachers which would
enable him to destroy the councils
The school committee will not sanction the pro-
posed salary increase. McAndrew knows that.
The city council would not approve of it even if
sanctioned by the school committee. McAndrew
knows that But when his recommendations are
rejected by the representatives of the capitalists
on the school committee and the city council,
McAndrew can go to the teachers and say 81
did the best could for you. Can't you see now
that I am your best friend"
We do not believe that McAndrews will sue
coed. The man who tried to save money for the
tax dodgers by cutting out the penny lunches of the
school children, cannot fool the teachers by his
present streak of generosity.
There are many other angles to the school
situation which will be dealt with later on, but
McAndrew's hypocrisy deserves special treatment.
