flood to its fullest rush. And the
critics supply the frosts.
A development in music that will
prove important not only for the pleas
f; ure seeker and through him to the
general musical culture of the coun-
try, but to the music teacher, student
and interpreter as well, has just been
brought TO fruition by the Aeolian
1 company. 1t is called photographic
music, and is an improvement on the
ordinary Duo-Art music roll TO be used
in the recording piano.
Charles Nacgele, pianist, has been
dubbed the 'Lindbergh of the Key
board" by the Chicago Tribune and
other papers, presumably because he
resembles this idol but actually be-
cause he flies high, though he does it
with the piano. On November 10 he
played in Washington at a large func-
! ton given in honor Of President Cool
i idge.
On November a, the Dayton West
minister choir sang at the Coliseum in
/ ST. Louis, Mo, to an audience Of ex-
actly 1904 people. The clever local
manager, who was responsible for the
advance publicity given this concert,
When asked what she did to get this
! vast amount of publicity that the con-
cert received, said she believed in
three T's. Telegrams, telephones and
tell-a- woman"
! After scoring a tremendous success
before an enormous audience in the
Coliseum at ST. Louis on November 4,
the Westminster choir of Dayton, Cnio,
] duplicated the feat in Washington,
ID. c. The choir is on tour which
takes it as far south as North Caro-
lima and to the Atlantic seaboard.
European appearances have been ar
ranged for later dates. The rapid rise
OF the Dayton choir is due largely TO
| the thorough schooling received by its
members At the Westminster Choir
school there are classes in theory, his
f, tory of music, psychology, English,
hymnology, voice teaching, publ C
| speaking, conducting, harmonic, analy-
sis, counterpoint, religious education,
Bible, and orchestra organization and
understanding. Members OF the school
must pass satisfactorily in personality
and leadership, as we'll as in all those
studies which unite to make thorough
musicians Another important factor
in the excellence and success OF the
choir is Mr.. Williamson, the eXtraordl-
narily gifted leader of the organlza-
| ton.
Ethel Fox, soprano, who made her
operatic debut with the San Carlo
Opera company in Asheville, N. c. and
who scored as Musetta and Gretel
with the company in Boston, opened
! the New York season as Musetta IN
Boheme Everywhere the critics praised
her voice and acting.
There are two distinct musical
camps-the modernists and the stand
patters Each considers itself the mu-
sical intelligentsia. AS matter OF
! fact, the real intelligentSia are those
persons who understand and like the
best examples in both schools.
| Punch, London, suggests that motor
horns and hooters should be standard
| lied as td pitch and a more melodlous
note adopted. Nothing is more irr1tat-
| ing than an unmusical motorist who
knocks his pedestrian down in D flat.
new sort of magazine has been
started in San Francisco by Henry
Cowell, the futuFist composer who
made quite a sensation with his own
compositions in New York several years
AGO. This magazine is called New
Music and is issued by the New Music
Society of California. 1t appears to be
the theory of Mr.. Cowel and ms aSso-
ciates that to print the music ltsel1 is
better and more sensible than to WrlCe
about it and this new magazine con-
tains, in fact, very little except music
| The first issue of the paper is nothing
but the score of Carl RuggleS sym
phonic piece called Men and Noun
| tai: S, which was given two or three
wears ago by the international COM
posers' Guild in New York.
The first meeting of the Douglas
Music club will be given Monday
evening at 8 O'Clock at the Parish
house. The Juvenile Music club VIII
give the program.
