Symphony Music In Spain

SPANISH musicians are in a sorry
state, compared with those in the
United States. according TO Walter
DamroSch, conductor OF the New
York symphony Orchestra. Mr.. Dam
rosch made a study of musical con-
didons in Spain this Summer.
The Spanish government gets
about 30 per cent OF the gross re-
ceipts Of concerts" he said. there
fore, when the expenses are paid. the
musicians reward is very small. When
I accepted an invitation to conduct
the Madrid Symphony Orchestra at a
special concert this Summer, the or
cheetra played three rehearsals with
out remuneration. Their share Of the
receipts for the concert amounted TO
about 81 each. If that is not art
for arts sake. / don't know what is y"
Queen Victoria was in the royal
box at the concert which Mr.. Dam
rosch conducted. and later he was
decorated by King Alfonso. receiving
the Isabella Catholica Medal.
The Madrid symphony Orchestra
Is to be congratulated on its unusual
enthusiasm which enables II 10 hold

ton, when the pay is SO inadequate,

strangely enough. here ore no
aristocrats in Spain interes' ed enough
in music to serve "a patrons or IN any
way TO encourage musical develop
ment. The rank and fl" of Spanish
people are music lovers. but the
aristocracy, as a rule. do not even at
tend the concerts. An orchestra,
therefore. has TO depend entirely upon
the box office. This would be impos-
shle in the United States Under pres
ent conditions. Formerly ! made
cross continent tours with an orches-
ira Of 80 men and was able TO do so

not do so now Orchestras have to
he larger-s5 members at least, and
their pay is much higher. This, with
the rise in hotel and travelling ex-
penses, makes tours like that quite
out OF the question.
Much of the interest in symphonic
music in Spain 10 due to one remark
able man. He is Enrique Arbos. The
United States knows him principally
for his having been concert master of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra un-
der Gericke. For the past Il years ne
has been conductor Of the Orquesta
Sinfonica OF Madrid and has given
concerts under terrific odds. Not only
has he had no financial support, but
he has had 10 turn over 30 per cent
of his receipts in taxes to the gov
eminent. Here. Congress exempted
symphony concerts from the amuse-
ment tax. but in Spain they pay
higher tax than the theaters.
"Arhos IL now giving a series Of SO
concerts throughout Spain, not only
in the larger cities. but also the
small ones. This is much more diff
cult than 1t would be here. There are
no through trains except between the
larger cities. and the express trains
seldom go faster than IS miles an
hour. 1t takes IL hours to travel be-
tween cities little more than 100 miles
apart.
Spain is not popular country for
tourists. There is none OF what we
call night life and little or no merry
making. People seem TO he content
with conditions as they are. and the
position OF women is almost Oriental
in its seclusion. The church and their
children occupy most Of their time.
There is in Madrid. however. A small
colony Of intellectuals, artists, journal
lists and musicians, which is doing its
best to raise the standard of culture"

Pola S New Picture

"HOTEL IMPERIAL" Pola Negri's
new picture. will bring to the
screen one OF the most dramatic
episodes of the early days of the
World War. which has almost been
forgotten by historians. This was the
sensa tional drive by the Russian
army into Hungarian Galicia, which
later ended so disa strously for the
Cars forces.
Poia portrays a Hungarian heroine,
chamhermaid in the hotel which
serves as the headquarters for the
Russian general. AS the central fig
ure of an intrigue involving the gen
eral and a fugitive Hungarian officer
upon her finally depends the fate of
her love and the armies of two ma
tions.
The lole is said to be the Polish
stars greatest achievement since
Passion" giving full play to the
emotional portrayals which brought
her to the heights.
