CHRISTMAS MUSIC IN THt, CHURCHES

Church organists. directors and the singers were busily engaged of fate getting things in order to present an adequate musical setting to the festival of Noel. It was a hard and grueliing task. and not even the shop-kcepers had more 10 think about during the annual pre- holiday settlements. While the gentlemen behind the counters have been re- lying upon well-developcd com- mercial instinct to keep step with the demands of that mythical Santa we all adore, the war departments In the churches-beg pardon! the music departments-havc been drawing upon their artistic am munition and promised to celebrate the coming Of Christ if not with fanfares, then at least with close and open harmony and the deep. rotund hasso profundo which Is af- filiated with the resources Of the king Of instruments.
 It is a time when the pastors be- come sort of side issue. The mes sage is portrayed in song rather than with oratory. To be sure. our clergymen sermonizc. or tell the beautiful story of Bethlehem; but in their hearts they realize that they are compelled to compete in inter- est with the musicians at this time and under the circumstances it is perhaps best 10 say as little as pos ible and permit the main thesis. set to music, to come from the organ loft.
 And what a galaxy of Christmas music there ia to choose from.

Why de- nounce does for fighting when there are producers In the world for that purpose, actors who arc in wrong roles. and actresses who are more or less similarly mismated? As for the playwrights. some Of whom were once critics, there is no mercy in the hilarious lexicon of literary buffoon- cry.
 Entertainment in the form of criticism is an inevitable accom- paniment of the jazz age-some- times erroneously termed the ma chine age. It is easier to make the reader laugh by hitting an actor be- tween the eyes with the custard pie of Menckenesque phrase than by bothering him to concentrate upon the more important elements in the show: but. we are advised, modern readers, from the lowly morons to the intellectual intelligentsia, refer their fare steaming hot. and can di- gest nothing so cold as the chiseled steel of plain reason.
 Sometimes however. we refuse to be entertained in that superficial manner and turn to the comics or go to a vaudeville show, or read q tome by Aristotle. John Dewey or take to the fervid idealism of the New Re- public. At other times. desiring | kick mixed with indignation at politician we think need attention. we even read the editorials in the New York World; if we want to be convinced that the big navy idea is even more important than critical entertainment we spend little time with the editorials and the headline editorials in the Herald Tribune. If all of these things don't help we read our own.
