return for our true national inspira~
ton, or to the coasts of Africa, which
have supplied US With what others
would call our real folk music. It
is wholly reasonable to believe that
the American Indian and the native
environment which our early settlers
shared with him has written an in
fiuence into our present day natures.
Then that influence will come out
in the music we write, If we write
honestly and in expression of what
is in US. But otherwise we cannot
pick up the Indian rhythm or an In
dian harmony and call that the es-
sential foundation of a national school.
II fail to find any cause for dis
satisfaction in this. 1 believe that
am truly American in breeding, ira
dition and thought. l am proud OF
every individual American accom-
pliShmcnt in the arts. because to me
they are the best of life. but | do
not find that accomplishment any
the less IL 1t tells OF an iusplraaion
from other corners of the earth. One
of the greatest art inspirations Of
all history came in the Italian Re-
naissanCe. The art of that pe"ioo
in Italy was not from the soil of that
land. 1t was borrowed art. brought
to Italy from the east after the fall
of ConstantinopIe. 1t was Byzantine
art; but because II was beautiful a;'4
of A beauty that struck fire with the
Italian temperament, il was adopted
and developed there. 1t became Ital-
ian art because tho Italians loved II.
My insistence is that an art which
appeals to American audiences, of all
parts of America is American in the
only sense in which any art can be
nationalistic.
One of the most interesting dis
coveries ] have made in playing be-
fore audiences of this country is that
tee true music lovers of New York
and Kansas City, Boston and Seattle,
respond alike to the same programs.
One cannot hold any composition
alien to America which makes thai
universal appeal to the people O,

American Decries Demand
For ''NationaI' Music.

NEW YoRK-The insistence upon
the development of strictly
American" music is an error of this
ambitious age, according to leading
American musician who sees in the
emphasis upon this nationalistic as
pect a handicap rather than aid to
the musical advancement of the
country.
"A national school of any art
cannot be developed self consciously"
Albert Spalding. American volinist,
has declared. THE very artihciality
of such an effort destroys it's honesty
and consequently it's reality. Even
il it were important to have a school
of creative music peculiar in it's char
acteristics 10 this Nation. 1t would
be impossible 10 develop it delib-
erately and purposely. 1t can come
only spontaneously through the in
dividual musicians expressing him
self in his music. 1t is possible that
with a growing number of creative
musicians born and bred in the tradi-
tions of the land, all working hon
estly to write into music what they
feel within themselves, there may
be unity of form or feeling in their
compositions which may well be
taken to be American and which
will be sufficiently different from the
compositions of the artists of other
nations TO tablish a nationalistic
| claim. 1t is impossible for such a
thing TO come otherwise.
But suppose it doesn't come at
all? suppose the best work-and that
must mean the most sincere as well
as the most beautifui-written by
American composers continues to be
| refle ctive of Italian influence, or Rus
sian, or German, or French, as opr
| critics tell us it is at the present
| time? Does that reflect in any way
upon the value of it to America? Is
| 1t any the less great or any the less
| our ownr AS matter of fact, We
| are great deal closer i'll thought
and taste to the people of those ma
| tions than we are to the aboriginal

ROOTH HARRINGTON is said to be

of Ben Alexander to play the role

"Pampered Youth" the film adaptation
of his story The Magnificent Am

In a letter the novelist says: Il
never believed it would be possible
to find an interpreter of the Ameri-
can boy of my stories. Being a real
boy and at the same time having
obtained that training that is neces-
sary for young boys to have in order
to do movie or spoken drama, is a
difficult background to possess.
But Ben upsets my theory. He is
able to stay true American boy, a
regular fellow and yet accomplish
things in a dramatic way. He is a
natural actor"

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
CoTT TO THE LITTLE MAR
QUISE. CO THE SECRET
DRAwER-CONTINLED

DRAWER-CONTINLED.
This letter from Melville Sartoris
I am going to place with mine in the
little secret drawer. 1t is too beau
tiful to destroy. yet l am not sure
that I should not destroy it. l Won
der if ever before any woman occu-
pied such a place in a mans heart.
Melville Sartoris has told me in this
letter that he loved me, and he init
mates that more than all else in the
world he wants to know If l love
him. And yet such a queer bias
there Is in his mind, he tells me
that he would not love me any more
If ne should discover that 1 had
transferred the love that he feels
have for my husband, to him.
You see, he has been calling me
his Madonna of the Snows-a very
subtle compliment, my dear, which
means the purest and best Of living
women. who is ever cold, and invites
nothing but respect and reverence
from the men about her.
In his contradictory way he tells
me that his heart is burning up with
love for me, and explains that he
would not say this to me, only that
he never expects to look upon my
face again, never expects to hear
from me.
It's a queer situation, is II not?
Sometimes I think it isn't true
that he is only taking this way OF
piquing my curiosity so that l will
keep him in my thoughts continu-
ously. He has never done anything
like any other man since I have
known him. He is either the most
proficient and expert squire Of
danes that ever lived, or else he
is really in love with me.
You see. little Marquise, he has
the reputation OF being the most
consummate f1irt, with more broken
hearts to his credit than almost any
other man of modern times, and yet
he has contrived to make me con-
celted enough to believe that what
ever may be his past. he has found
in me something he has been search
ing for all his life.
Isn't it strange, my dear Little
Marquise. that he has made himself
believe that finding what he seeks
will be to lose it. and forever losing
it, he will call it his.
The day before he left on a kind
of modern Holy Grail expedition, he
gave me the most elaborate enter
tainment on his yacht that was ever
given in this country. He told me
that he had never met a woman who
was honest, that even his mother
