Sousa Early Marches
Brought No Royalties

BECAUSE of his own early expert
ences, one of the lifelong interests
of Lieut.. Ccmdr John Philip Sousa.
who this season makes his thirty-eighth
annual tour at the head of his band,
has been working for legislation in
tended to protect the author and COM
poser in his royalties. Sousa was de-
prived Of royalties on many Of his most
famous marches because Of lack Of
legislation. He was largely instru-
mental in securing the passage Of the
present law relative to. royalties on
talking machine and player-piano
records and also on the radio and mo-
ton picture theater use OF copyright
compositions. He will play his last
concert of the present season in the
Auditorium the night Of Thursday,
November 20.
Sousa never received a penny OF
royalty for the talking machine records
of Stars and Stripes Forever" although
more than 5000 900 copies Of that one
record have been sold. This condition
was due to the fact that no law COW
cred talking machine records when the
monograph came into popular use
ABOUT 19UU. "nen the ia" AHaliy was
passed it contained a joker making 1t
applicable only TO compositions written
after the passage of the law.
Sousa, furthermore, received little
money for his early marches, invariably
disposing of them outright for IS to
$50 each. ''Semper Fidelis," THE
Picador," The Crusader" Washing
ton Post" High School Cadets" were
all sold to Harry Coleman, Philadel-
phia publisher, for s35 each as was a

Latin American artists that have
achieved success both on the OPP
cratic and concert stage. This
success has been so outstanding
as to cause in Europe a general
recognition of the fact that the
people from these Latin Ameri-
can lands are especially gifted
musically."
Judging from the quality of the
artists from Latin American
haunts who have performed dur
ing the past few years at the Pan
American Union, this remark is
entirely appropos. Furthermore,
these musicians not only perform
with smooth, rhythmical preci-
sion in their various musical
fields, but they have that tang of
personality which augments any
artists performance by several
per cents. Although the compost
lions that have been heard in
this country from there seem
trifle less exciting than the per-
formers themselves, this is due
perhaps to the infrequency of
performance, and the sometimes
unattuned ear of the listener to
the fantastic strains. 1t seems
a pity, however, that the So
Latin American concerts that
have been given at the Pan-Amer-
lean Union haven't been dupli-
Gated in other parts of the coun-
try for-as satisfactorily as a
radio may carry the mood % the
music-gone is the personality rs
mentioned above and the particu-
larry pleasing method of attack
that goes with these artists.
Among other interesting ideas
that Mr.. Adams brings forward in
this article is one about musical
memory" which is something
really out of the ordinary and
we'll worth the attention of North
erners who revel in their own pro-
digious memory. The author says
about this:
practically all Latin Americans
possess, in marked degree, what
is known as musical memory
This is only natural with races
that have, for thousands of years,
memorized complicated melodies
and, through this ability, have
brought down to modern man a
wonderful collection Of ancient
themes. This ability to memorize
has been eXemplified on many oc-
casionS in San Antonio, Tex, when
the visiting Mexican band has
been asked to stand by while
the latest march from the United
States is being played by the
American band. With all stand
ing at attention, the Mexican
bandSmen have waited until the
finish of the first strain and then
came the marvellous test; the
playing of this number in har-
mony by the entire group. Aud
fences have been astounded at
this exhibition and some in the
audience have expressed the
thought that there was some
trick in it, That is absolutely
true, for there is a'trick, but it
has taken thousands of years to
produce 1t, and it Is in the form
of this musical memory :.
Leaders Of the great orchestras in
Latin America, with but little eff
fort, are able to memorize the
entire scores of dozens Of operas"

Chamber Music Festival
Triumphs In Chicago

THE annual Coolidge Chamber Music
Festival in Chicago seems to have
taken place with considerable eclat. AS
witnessed by the performance in Wash
ington last week at the Library Of
Congress by the Brosa String Quartet
and Harriet Cohen, Mrs. Coolidge as
sembled for this now classic event an
array Of imposing talent.
The Musical Courier had to say Of
this in an Introductory paragraph:
Musicians from all parts Of the
world rejoice that men and women of
culture and wealth spend lavishly for
the benefit Of music. Among these phil
anthropic benefactorS of music must be
placed in the first rank Mrs. Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge, formerly of Chicago,
now of the world, even though she has
established her permanent home at
Pittsheld. Mass. 1t was in that locality
that, a few years ago. Mrs. Coolidge
conceived the happy idea of annual
chamber music festivals, to which are
due the new impetus given chamber
music the world over.
with the modesty that BELTS such a
great patron of art, the festival in Chi
cago was named the Chicago Festival
of Chamber Music, and the name of
the benefactress was not to be found
anywhere in the program"
Among the artists appearing at the
five concerts were Olga Averino, So
prano; Emma Lubbecke-Job pianist
Georges Barrere, fiutist; Nahoum Ben
ditzky, cellist; Ivan d'Archambeau,
cellist; Marcel Honore, oboist; William
Kroll, violiniSt; Ernest Liegl, flutist
Joseph Vieland, violinist; the Brosa
String Quartet of London; Harriet
Cohen, pianist; Rudolph Reuter- plan
list; Lee PaCtison. pianist; the Gordon
String Quartet Lucille Lawrence, harp
ist, and Frederick Stock, conductor.

Hope Hampton Has
Los Angeles Debut

. EPORTS from Los Angeles concern
ing the operate debut there of Hope
Hampton have been published as fol-
lows:
THE much-heralded appearance Of
Hope Hampton as the heroine in Mas
senet's 'Manon' brought an overflow
audience, including many members of
the film colony, which capitulated to
the sway of the singers good looks and
elaborate costumes Miss Hampton
made the leap from screen to operate
stage gracefully, II not in a manner to
efface memories Of other representations
of the role. She evidenced sincerity
and industry in fitting herself for the
debut, though her pleasing voice was
not always under SUFFICIENT command,
because of q recent illness, to enable
her to give q wholly satisfactory por-
trayal. Gigli, in the role Of Des Grieux,
did some beautiful singing, and was
calamity deferential to Miss Hampton"
