CHORUS IN
FINE CONCERT

The Interstate Male Chorus,
Clyde B. Aitchison, conductor. gave
its second concert of the season
last Tuesday at the Masonic Audi
forum, with Paul Bleyden, tenor, as
soloist. and Robert L. Feuerstein,
accompanied.
1t is interesting to learn from
Mr.. Aitchison, who is Commissioners
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and a musician by avoca.
ton, that this is the sixth year of
this chorus of men of the Govern
ment department The club Is
supported within the department
by contributions from several hun
dred music lovers.
They sing both fine music and
with fine effect. Mr.. Aitchison
brings out all the virile force that
distinguishes male chorus, and
also he has woven them into an
instrument OF unity that may be
used in the soft, subtle shading
that makes choral program more
interesting.
Song Of Marching Men"
Dominant in their music were
two compositions Of Protheroe, the
first, stalwart Song Of Marching
Men, in which voices resounded
to the trumpet" call, the second,
a long narrative "Drontheim," being
a tale of King Olaf's Christmas"
BY depression it is OF moment 20
recall that the famous Ole Bull
first told Mr.. Aitchison this legend.
when the latter was a small boy
and a companion to the great Scan
dinavian vioIinist. He first heard
of King Olaf sitting on the famous
VirtuosO'S knee.
The singing Of this legend held
many significant points. The har-
monies were rich, they fairly
shouted challenge. or returned
to q spirit Of prayer as lovely as
a lullaby.
Another exquisite work was the
medieval Hymn to Venus" Of
D'Albert. with solo given by Mr..
Bleyden. Although D'Albert used
Wagner in accompaniment and
Mendelssohn in melody, the music
Is none the less, or rather more,
compelling because Of these things,
and Margaret Bowie Grant carried
well the piano score.
Lullaby Rhythm
Josef Pache was represented as
composer in an Evening Serenade, :"
melOdious work in lullaby rhythm
that was nicely done. The chorus
also did two amusing Irish com
positions that were good choral
work as well, having. to repeat the
Eight Bells" arranged by Marshall
Bartholomew.
Dudley Bucks cantata, Chorus
of Spirits and Ho lrs,' closed with
program Mr.. Bleyden again sang
the incidental solos and group of
solos. Ones thoughts go back to
the choral arrangement of Believe
Me If All Those Endearing Young
Charms" with the answered Ques.
ton: why do certain tunes last?"
It was the righteousness Of 1t. It
was melodiously given.

Koussevitzky b
"Movin' On" From
Symphonic

Rumor has it, according to
Edward Cushing's spicy AN
swer, Echo" column in the
Brooklyn Eagle, that:
"Feodor Chaliapin, during the
rehearsals of "Don Quichotte,
had an interesting run-in with
the general manager. = Mr..
Chaliapin, determined to have
everything his way (which
would probably have been the
best way), was creating trouble
on the stage when Mr.. Gatti
was hailed from his offices to
read the law. The Rus
sian singer protested, and the
general manager suggested that
a resignation would not be taken
amiss. Mr.. Chaliapin thereupon
behaved himself for the balance
of the morning"
And also:
"The rumor persists that Eu-
gene Goossens will succeed
Serge Koussewitsky as conduc-
tor of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. = Our belief is
that Mr.. Koussewitsky's con-
tract has not yet expired, and
that even if it had he would
be retained because of his evi-
dent popularity"

Marie Tiffany. soprano of the
Met" who sings this evening at
the d. A. r.. Congress, possesses
q voice Of wonderful richness and
power. She has created roles in
world premiers of such operas as
"Il Tabarro," "Gianni Schiochf' and
"The Blue Bird" by Wolff, under
the composers baton.
Some years ago Miss Tiffany tried
the experiment Of giving programs
designed for children. But there
were no baby songs on her list;
the music was of the highest stand
ard. She sang and made them un.

les of Schubert, Schumann, Grieg,
Mozart, giving them also our mod

The children were delighted! But
"big children" came, ais well. 1t

capital is increasing.
Cafe orchestraS are becomin E

hate to be annoyed by music when
they are concentrating their atten-

Hundreds of American girls come
to Paris each year to study music.
They seldom snow sufficient tech

musicians. Consequently they take
lessons from English or American

 WASHINGTON.-A plan las been suggested by the Interior Depart ment to reorganize the Federal Governments activities in Alaska with a view to decentralization and to give greater authority in local affairs to officials in the Ter ritory. The plan is now before Secretaries Hoover and Jardine for revision and approval.
 The proposal provides that the Secretaries of Agriculture, Com meree, and Interior each appoint from among their present forces in Alaska a man to supervise and coordinate all work in his own department which in some cases is divided among as many as twenty bureaus. These executive officers who would not occupy any new position would have power subject to final appeal to their respective secretaries to decide all local administrative matters.

E. Lansing Ray, Publisher of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, says.
 That advertising is playing an important part in the progress of civilization It's function is broad CT than that suggested by its commercial application.
 Of course, primarily, advertising sells things-commodities and ser vices. And, in multiplying these sales, advertising helps to reduce costs.
 But advertising educates the people to appreciate the conven- fences, the luxuries, the better things of life. It extends horizons. It brings into the lives of the masses the things which once were reserved exclusively for kings.
 For science and invention ad- yertising offers the key which un- locks the doors which yesterday were closed fast.
 New discoveries need no longer lie hidden in musty garrets, for advertising can find the way to apply them and to distribute the products which they yield.
 For this genius which is build Ing cities and eniarging industries; i; making bond-holders of wage earners; teaching health and happiness to millions-this genius we call advertising is quick to appraise values and to find ap- plication for worthy ideas.
