washington will miss Larry
Beatus. Since 1915, he has been
managing director Of the Loew
interests here. He plotted the
Palace and Columbia to finan.
cial success, and made for him
self host of friends.
we know that Larry leaves
washington with a pang, for II
means the severing of ties which
thirteen wears Of residence in
the Capital have bound tightly
around his heart.
But it means promotion for
Larry, and he's glad OF that,
and all his friends are, too. He
has been with the Loew organi-
cation since 1912. and was hon.
ored by the friendship Of the
late Marcus I.oew.
Larry went into the show
business % years ago, as a
water boy in the Lyceum Thea
ter. Memphis, Tenn. He went
to New York, first associating
himself with the Shuberts and
then with Loew.
He has gone up the ladder
steadily, and we hope he won't
stop now. Good luck, Larry,
Courage, pards!
Just few more weeks lie
between us and the new amuse-
ment season. Just few more
weeks, and the sunburn will be
wearing away, the city will fill
up and the playhouses will be-
gin their yearly battle for the
favor of the populace.
Washington should see a STAR
Ting change in lineup along its
amusement lanes.
The Belasco, RiaIto and Kafth's
will reopen; the LoeW fheaters
will have new boss; the old
President may bloom again with

HYMN COMPOSITION .

Yale Professor Points Out Its

The composition of hymns for church singing, far from being the easy matter which their simplicity might lead one 10 believe, is q diff ficult task involving numerous quos- ,ions of propriety and suita hiity. ac- cording to Prof. II.

Hymns are design cd 10 be sung by groups Of persons Hho have but little or no technical knowledge of music. who cannot rt ad difficult music al sight, and whose untrained voices have limited ranges. It is therefore advisable that hymns be kept within certain quite close restriction
 The first consideration is range. Professor Baumgarter says. The NCice of the average person does not allow him or her to sing very high or very low notes. and the ideal hymn is one W hich keeps with Further. to allow persons musically uneducated 10 read at sight, Pro- lessor Baunsarter says that there sh ould be no sudden jumps from one note to another very far away. Rather the notes should run d great deal in 'do-rc- mi-re- do" fashion. with notes generally just above or below those immediately preceding them. Where a long jump is made. he says, lt is best to have lt either , followed or preceded by a regular { lessen the quality of hymns where they are taken into account, he points out, for practically all Of the greatest and most popular hymns are those which observe these rules. Furthermore, he considers lt likely that they are popular largely be- cause of this fact.
 The time of a hymn is another matter for thought. IL should be kept as regular as possible, the Yale professor says, as this makes it easier to sing. Fairly constant suc- co ssions of quarter notes arc th" simplest, according 10 Professor ltuumgartor and the departures from this should be as few as pos sihle ill order that the hymn may uot become j"rkN.
