REPORT SHOWS Big
INSANE INCREASE
All Calculations In Regard To
Growth Are Shattered DR..
Tarumianz Says.

One thousand persons will be pa
tients in the Delaware State Hospital
for the Insane, at Farnhurst, by
1885, if, during the next five years,
the increase continues at the same
rate it has during the past year.
This condition was revealed in a
statement made public by DR.. M. A.
Tarumianz, in which he said that
"all former calculations in regard to
the growth of the hospital are shat
tered to pieces"
Referring to the fact that there are
COL persons being taken care of in
the hospital, which has a normal ca
pacity of only 500, DR.. Tarumianz as
serted that crowded conditions in
the hospital necessitate immediate
action in preparing a building pro-
gram.
The average daily resident popula-
ton during October was SOL, DR..
Tarumianz pointed out, as compared
with 624 in October, 1928, indicating
an actual increase of 81 patients in
one year.
" Jul Cct1CuAelbAODO III
preparing our biennial report and
the future development plans" he
said, "our estimated future popula-
ton of the hospital in the year 1941
was not to exceed 1000 patients. At
the rate the population has increased
in the last year, we will have more
than 1000 patients by 1885. Which
means that we are confronted with
a problem of exceedingly difficult
nature.
The board of trustees of the hos
pital has authorized study of the
development program presented at
the last Legislature, particularly
with reference to fastening the
building program to meet the popu-
lation increase.

Col Roosevelt Tells W.C.T.U.
Laws Cannot Gain Temperance

San Juan, Porto Rico-Hav-
ing declined cocktails since he
came here, Governor Roose-
welt sent a message to the
Porto Rican branch of the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance
Union in which he strongly
commended temperance, as
sorting, however, "that all of
us must bear in mind that
when we say temperance we
mean temperance"
There should be no fanati-
cism connected with it." the
message said. Laws can new
er take the place of character
building. 1t is far easier to de-
mand a law of a legislative
body than laboriously to teach
people how to act, but de-
manding the law is the lazy
mans method. The future aim
of the country must be to build
up men and women who do
right by their own volition."

"As necessary as my break
fast" said a business man,
when asked how he liked the

The Music for ''Sherwood"
Described by Composer

A DELIGHTFUL musical score, mag
"a aginative and alluring. has been
provided by one of Americas versatile
young composers Edward A. Mueller,
for Sherwood" the Alfred NoyeS play
of old England In the days of Robin
Hood, which is being presented Thurs
day evening at Sis o'clock at the Syl-
van Theater, in the Monument Grounds,
by the Community Drama Guild and
under the direction of j. Miner Dorey,
who has made short adaptation OF the
English classic for outdoor use.
The full orchestra of the United
States Marine Band, with Capt. Taylor
Branson conducting, will play the over
ture and interlude music and will ac-
company the Mckinley Dancers in the
fairy scenes. The choir of Epiphany
Church, directed by Adolf Torovsky, will
sing the beautiful choral numbers pro-
vided by the composer, including the
lovely Song of the Fairies" at the
close of the prologue, and the evensong
of the nuns in the epilogue. Mrs. Hugh
Brown, soprano, and Mrs. Roland VIII
lirnson, contralto, will be heard in one
Shall Conquer"
The beloved story of Robin Hood and
His Merrie Men" in Sherwood Forest
would not be complete without Alan-a-
Dales ballads. One of Washington's
popular baritones, Robert Davidson,
playing that romantic role, will be heard
In 1.-THE Old knights Vigil" which is
essentially reminiscent of the ballads
of medieval England and the era of
the Crusades.
Another old ballad Is to be sung by
Estebsn Cerdan as Blondel, King Rich
ards minstrel, Mr.. Cerdan being new
conner to this city, where he is now
singing as member of st. Patrick
Church choir Before coming to Wash
ington Esteban Cerdan was a member
of the National Opera Club of New
York City and the Fique Choral of
Brooklyn. and has appeared in both
professional and amateur opera there.
Mrs. Edith H. Hunter, we'll known plan
list of this city, is accompanist for
Sherwood
Edward A. Mueller, composer of ora
torios and many musical settings for
dramatic works, wrote the music for
Sherwood" in 1915, arranged originally
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-16

merely as a school production. When.
shortly after, however, he was asked to
put the music on the market with the
play itself, great demand for the pro-
duetion of Sherwood" was noted, and
1t was not long before Alfred Moves
play, as arranged by j. Minor Dorey
and the musical score. as composed by
Edward A. Mueller, were produced all
over the country. In the past few years
this version with music, has been pro-
duced In every State In the United
States, in Canada and in Australia.
MIR. Mueller says he has rewritten
the score three times, and had he
known that his music was to be played
here by the United States Marine Band
he would have rewritten it again for
the full orchestra which will play 1t
Thursday evening under direction of
Capt. Taylor Branson.
Mr. Mueller has been in the city in
conference with Capt. Branson and
Mr.. Dorey, and expects to return next
week for the performance When asked
about the two ballads introduced into
the play and sung by Blondel, the kings
minstrel, and Alan-a-Dale, he re-
marked:
"Blondels song is the simplest form
OF ballad and is the most difficult to
compose. 1t Is really ballad such as
the old-tirne bards sang, and is written
In the short phrases of the archaic
style. Alans song, OH the other hand
Is dramatic, with recitative and air
This song brings out the two phases of
chivalry-humility and fervor-and is
written In real deelamatory style.
The overture is in reality merely a
prelude, setting the mood for the play.
In composing it two motifs we're en-
ployed-the spirit of Fairyland and the
combining the fairy and the mortal
themes of the drama. AS to the choral
numbers, the 'Miserere.' sung in the
last act, was based on a Gregorian
theme. the words being taken from an
old chant but the music being new.
The fairy choruses and dances, how
ever, are entirely original in concep-
ton and written In thematic style"
Mr.. Mueller himself conducted q
number of music rehearsals while he
was In the city and expressed himself
as delighted with the orchestra and
cast
