New York Schools Install
First Reproducing Organs

tair.....1t possibilities Of tremendous
value in the school,. but also broadens
the educations use OF the pipe organ,
which now becomes available for teach
inR purposes to many.
As an instrument for teaching mud
cal appreciation, the concert pipe organ,
combining all instruments and the voice,
Ia Of value to students In any special
ICED field Of music. The automatic re-
producing feature offers wide oppor-
tunity for teaching composition and Or
chestration In general and organ or
chestration and registration in par
ticular.
Organs In 1'hea&ers.
Only within the past few years has
the public become conscious OF the pipe
organ for anything except sacred music.
Much Of the growing public acceptance
Of the organ was originally due to the
silent film theaters, where the public
became familiar with the pipe organ as
an instrument which could play secular
music, too.
with the advent OF the talking Aims
the need is felt for an increase in
auditoriums offering opportunities for the
public to hear organ music. The public
schools to an increasing extent win
serve this purpose, while at the same
for all musical courses.
The teaching value Of the complete
automatic performance is enhanced by
the fact that the performer can also
play the same roll with his own regis
tration and expression. He Is able to
cut on the control over the stops or
pipes exercised by the roll. All rolls
win be fully automatic, but can be
operated semi-automatically. In the
Semi-automatic operation the rolls,
while not physically controlling the
tempo, r. distraction and expression, will
indicate these. allowing the person at
the keyboard to make changes and con-
tribute additional ornamentation, coun-
ter melodies and other notes at will.
The seven organs will be identical
under the specifications, which call for
electric pneumatic action, three man
uals, or keyboards, and 81 stops or sets
Of pipes. These are contained in four
divisions, Known as great, swell, choir
| and pedal organ. The n'Des il. the four
organ divisions total 2,181, of which
| 718 are In the great organ, 1854 in the
swell organ, 511 in the choir organ and
80 in tf pedal organ. Twenty-three
couplerS make possible combinations of
tone coloring between the various organ
divisions. Each organ will be COM
pletely finished, voiced and played In
] the factory before shipment.

of course, will be Isolde. She

Vienna Opera House, professional
home Of Maria Jeritza, Metropolitan
Opera soprano. will shortly present
movie opera with sound that will in
clude the services Of every member of

will not be party to the enterprise.
The famous sopranos refusal to take
part, It is said, is due to a clause in her
contract with the Metropolitan which
forbids such activities.

works to be offered in New York this

leading role she has sung 50 many

Scarcely out of the fiapper age, Miss
Mackie determined upon an operate
career, and applied for O position as
usher at the Metropolitan Opera House
so as to study the important operate
roles at first hand. With the lowering
OF the lights for each act she would
retreat to secluded corner with the
score of the opera in one hand and a
pencil in the other to note the breath

Score for "Lysistrata"
Written by Leo Ornstein

THE uitra-modernist about whose COM
position, 1.-THE Cathedral" there
were those who said unkindly, "It had
bats In It's belfry," Leo Ornstein, wrote
the score for the current New York pro-
duction Of "Lysistrata.p This riotous
version Of Aristophanes' comedy, which
was originally written 2,34l years ago
in Athens. as arranged for present
Broadway consumption by Gilbert
Seldes, seems to be arousing more COM
ment than any other one w. ..uction OF
this time.
Mr.. Ornstein's music Is quoted rs be-
ing extremely poignant, which greatly
heightens the action. The music Is
played o.i-gtage, and Is written and
performed in q restrained manner,
which never permits the accompani-
ment to obtrude, as Is frequently the
case with music Of the sort. There Is
less, too, of the detached type of num-
Der, the music as O whole really be-
coming an integral part of the text,
a.-d consequently of the action"
This all sounds particularly interest
ing, as detachment" and restraint"
would seem the least likely adjectives
to be used in connection with anything
on the theme of "Lysistrata," or Leo
Ornstein's music, either.
