AN EXAMPLE OF
GREAT DIRECTION

That is what we call great direc-
ton of musical composition
direction that not only shows an
understanding Of the requirements
of the composer, but an intelligence
and an originality In meeting them
that is real musical art.
There isn't a lot of space left for
comment on the enjoyable comic
opera performance Of the Chicago
Civic Opera Company in Strauss
THE Bat" which WIZ served us
last evening. The big cast of the
piece seemed to be enjoying itself
hugely with the dialogue-in fact it
had more dialogue than singing
and the music was thoroughly and
wholly Strauss. Richard Crooks, the
American tenor, who served as guest
star of the Maxwell doings, con-
firmed our previous idea that he has
one OF the best voices in captivity
and knows thoroughly how to turn
it loose on the wave lengths.
In the Eskimos' turn at the
microphone the announcements of
Harry Reser of his own bands work
were a pleasant change from the
usual run of such things, although
we are not so sure they'd do as a
steady diet, The Hooverites continue
to misuse the United States Artillery
song for advertising purposes in
closing their concert. We certainly
hope some artillerist or the War De-
partment calls their attention to it.
OF course, this is free country and
singers can sing what they please
but it seems little enough to ask
that a song identified with the army
as this song is should be permitted
to remain just that and not trans
formed into balIyhoo for electric
whiek broon1s and busting ma
chinery.
