THE MISlC LANDSGAPE

THE MUSIC LANDSCAPE
 Three items of more than passing interest regarding musical affairs appeared in one issue of the Herald: l. The New York Philharmon- ic and the New York Symphony or chestras merged
 2. Leslie Stuart, composer Of the world-famed "Florodora," died as an obscure organist in England.
 3. The New Britain Community Orchestra, with the dynamic Per Olsson as conductor. showed that 1t meant business and elected officers. Taking up this material in order we find that the two great New York orchestras had 103 musicians each. which Is slightly fewer than the famed Philadelphia orchestra. The highly skilled instrumentalists have been debating salaries with the respective arrangements for some time: but as no way has yet been found for these old established or chestras 10 make both ends meet, the respective guarantors decided to combine into one orchestra and then. perhaps. they could pay the salaries demanded. About 100 high class musicians, however. will be out Of the merged orchestras when 1t opens next fall. Thus economies takes precedence over art---at least, in the quantity of art.
 The story told about "Ilorodora" is that the show would have had very little 10 commend if above the average had not a fortuitous cjrcun- stance occurred. It seemed that the producer. during rehearsais, came to the conclusion it was at least one musical number short to make it last long enough 10 give cash cus- toners the feeling they were getting their moneys worth. Leslie Stuart therefore was told to write an- other number In due time he brought forth the famous double sextet. and what a tremendous suc- cess it turned ont 70 be. People went to see "E'lorodora' mainly to .ses. the double sextet, the tripping number beginning. "Oh, toll me lit- tie maiden are there any more at home like you' The sextet had to be repeated 2 times at one per tormanca al the old Casino in New York; and a dozen repeats Were common at every performance. Are there any numbers in Mr. Zicgfeld's 5 shows getting such a hando Or does anvthin- Of MT. Gershv-in or Mir T., fliu hit that mark? We'll, hard

Harry Wills Wins Call
Over Johnny Jordan

A large crowd at Crystal Pool
Tuesday night saw a well-balanced
boxing show staged by Austin and
Bishop. Interest of colored fans CEN
tered on the semEtfinal six-round
bout between Young Harry Wills,
colored welterweight of Seattle and
the veteran Johnny Jordan of Ia
coma. Wills won the decision. He
lived up to expectations of the fans,
giving a clever exhibition of boxing.
He exhibited q beautiful uppercut
which cut the Tacoma boxers face.
Wills also excelled at infighting.
Had 1t not been for the fact that
Jordan was an unusually tough and
experienced boxer he would have been
Knocked out in the early part of the
contest. Wills is fast on his feet,
cool under fire and possesses unusual
boxing skill, but he does not seem to
possess the knockout punch his IL
lustrious namesake carried. AS us

fans who do not like his "chesty

Seattle Boxing Fans
To See George Dixon
On Next Boxing Card

Druxman and Waterman of the
National Athletic Club will stage the
boxing show next Tuesday night at
Crystal Pool. The main event will
be a six-round clash between Jock
Malone, veteran St. Paul middle
weight and George Dixon, sensation
al coiored boxer of Portland, who is
under management of the popular
sportsman, George Moore.
. Malone is no stranger to Seattle
fans having fought here on four oc-
casions the past few years. He met
Leo Lomski twice, Ernie Owens and
the late '"Tiger" Flowers. 4
Malone is best remembered for his
win over Lomski. in their last meet
ing. He gave the Aberdeen flash
quite drubbing that evening. Jock
also beat Ernie Owens, but dropped
the call to the invincible Flowers.
Dixon is rated as one of the few
Corners of class that the Northwest
can not boast of. The colored young
ster has been a regular main event
favorite in Portland for the past year
and half, headlining a card in the
Rose City on the average of once
q month.
Dave Shade was the only one to
give Dixon a trimming. They fought
a year ago. Since then George
knocked out Johnny Burns and Her
man Auerback and took on Mike
Hector for three scraps. Several 9TH
er bouts with coasters interviewed.
