Did you ever know that rats
like music? good music?
A veteran Of the United
States Marine Band !, in q
reminiscent mood divulged the
fact that when the Marine
Band first started broadcasting
some 10 years ago, the mu-
sicians had to all but put their
feet up on the racks with the
music for the dr0ves Of rats
that came to inspect the source
Of the pleasing melody.
This Of course was in the
days Of the bands first air
presentations over the little old
station NOF in AnacoStia.
There, under a big tent and
the leadership Of Captain Tay-
lor Branson they offered of
their splendid ware over old
fashioned telephone mikes.
Those were the hours when
the discovery of placing cheese
cloth over the mike to filter
the tones was q great event.
How the band looked on when
an engineer from. the General
Electric came down to disclose
improvements of vast ingenuity.
Maybe those weren't the best
days In the era Of radio, but
they'll never be forgotten by
the members Of the Marine
Band.
Speaking Of wit (not that we
have been doing so. but them
speaking of wit, Senator James
e. Watson, talking for the Re.
publican party on the new Haw-
ley7Smoot tariff enactment over
the Columbia System last week,
was asked at the conclusion Of
his broadcast if he knew that
his program had displaced the
regular Nit Wit broadcast.
With wry. smile, the Senator
inquired:
do yOu mean to say the
Democrats have q weekly pro-
gram on the air?"
Senator Pat Harrison of Mis-
Sippi, who will present "A Demo
cratic View Of the Tariff" in re-
ply to Senator Watson's talk
this evening over Columbia at
$3.50 o'clock, might we'll take ad-
vantage of diSproving the joke
by the gentleman from Indiana.
Summer time is hard for most
businesses that thrive in the

American Opera Composer
And Author Described

MUCH has been heard about "Yo-
landa Of Cyprus" the new Arneri-
can opera, by Clarence LOOMS and Gale
Young Rice. This opera will open the
third annual season Of opera In English
by the American Opera Co., at Polls
Theater. January 20. The men who
wrote this much discussed work, merit
mention here.
Gale Young Rice, who wrote the book
Of "Yolanda of Cyprus" is the husband
Of Alice Hogan Rice, author Of that i'm
mortal MRS. Wigs Of the Cabbage
Patch" He has written number of
books of romantic type, one of which,
Turn About Tales" was done in coll
liberation with his wife.
Clarence LOOMS, who wrote the score
Of "Yolanda," Is O. distant relative by
marriage Of Abraham Lincoln. His
score for "Yolanda" won the David
Bispham Medal He also has collabo-
rated with Mr.. Rice on q work called "a
Night In Avignone." LOOMS is well
known for many orchestral, string and
ensemble compositions. His Hymn to
America" has been sung by naSsed
choruses throughout the country.
The presentation OF "Yolanda Of
Cyprus" is in line with the policy Of
Vladimir Rosing, director Of the 'ATneri-
can Opera Co., to present at least one
IdLlNG OpGE6 cdCu ScASO0. Inc new
opera Is in three acts, and its combined
Italian and Saracen atmosphere and
locale calls for elaborate costumes and
settings, both of which have been de-
signed by Robert Edmond Jones, the
noted American scenic artist.
The story deals with the romance of
Amaury, the son Of O. medieval italian
ruler, and Yolanda, his mothers ward.
and involves the intrigue between Am
aurys mother and one Camartn, a
baron Of Paphos, at q time when the
Italians are at war with the Saracens.
Natalie Hall, who viii also be seen in
another leading role during the Ameri-
can Opera Co.'S coming "season"-that
Of Marguerite in "Faust''-has the So
prano name part Of Yolanda, with
Charles Kullman, the brilliant young
tenor Of the company, as her lover,
Amaury.
There are 10 principals in all, every
one Of whom has o number Of arias.
The ensemble effects are said to be par
ticularly attractive and appealing.
The coming appearance Of the Ameri-
can company. January 20, 81 and %,
Is under the local management of Mrs.
Wilson Greene. Reservations are now
being filed for season and single per-
formances at the concert bureau, 1900

| music is elbowing real music on,
Of motion picture theaters, thus

ly, If machine-made music. dis.
places the artist in thousands OF
instances, the incentive for any

The article ends with a plea ad-
dressed to the motion picture pa
iron to convey to the manager OF
his favorite theater his own in
dividual reaction to what seems
to be a threatening humiliation
Of the orchestras in all such
houses.
Going from the general to the
specific, it all makes one wonder
what the reaction of music low
ers in Washington Is to this prob

THE difference between clean,
wholesome jazz and the deca.
dent, insinuating variety never
was more plainly shown than last
week at the Fox Theater in
Washington. There are some peo-
pie who will rise up Immediately
and say that there is only one
kind of jazz and that it is unmen-
tionable-the unruly f1apper Of
music, as DR.. Damrosch originally
termed jazz. The tolerant, dis
eliminating person, however. can
not help but admit that there is
jazz and jazz.
These young Californians, who
under Horace Heidi provided a
remarkably good and decidedly
wholesome jazz entertainment
last week-so good, in fact, that
they are being "held over"-dem-
onstrate what young Americans
can do in thoroughly American
way in music. They are college
boys, chiefly from the University
of California, with one Stanford
member. They all have pleasing
voices, not trained for concert
work perhaps, but with good,
sensible production of mellow,
enforced tone and excellent
enunciation. In their bag of va
ried, fascinating tricks there is
not one that Is truly original. It
is, however, the perfection of the
NAV in Nuhinh aonn Y1ffYr1hAT fe. S1,1R
across and the snappy speed with
which each number follows its
predecessor that makes the Cali
fornians so successful. They
show thorough practice and ease,
without ennui. All their fun, and
there is plenty of 1t, is clean cut.
There are one or two unusually
fine voices, too, and some very
good singing of good, though not
classical music, in this program.
They go to the Rivera after
their Washington engagement.

Observant, and with thirst to investi-
gate his strange surroundings, he
wandered about the stage. When a

him, and whispered, "Ill give you q

He stuck. But while I was singing, to
keep him still, he demanded, and got
later, rabbit, a gun, gumdrops and a
pair of roller skates.
My worst experience in Madame
Butterfly" was with the Chicago Opera
Co. There is law In that city which
keeps children under 16 of the stage.
So they brought me two nnidgets as

WHEN Puccini composed the opera
w Of Madame Butterfly" and put
a stage baby in 1t. he gave q risky
Job to prima donnas. Some Of the
fair sopranos singing its title role know
how to handle little children; others
seem to look on them as so much ex-
cess baggage. In either case the
babys troubles will be fewer than the
pr1ma donna's.
Singing a role in opera with trained
colleagues is an onerous task, but when
figure the awful things that 1t can do
cannot be foretold. No woman could
love babies better than do, but neither
nor any other woman would have
put them in an opera. Times untold
I have sung the role of Butterfly"
both in Europe and America. And I
have had blood-curdling experiences in
doing it.
The infants given me by stage man
ayers to be my own as Nine. But
terdy, "for one performance only"
have ranged all the way from to 80
years old. At one time, disheartened
by calamities, got big doll for the
part. Even that proved fatal. In a
tender scene, just as lifted 1t for the
American consul Of the opera to kiss
good-by, one arm dropped off and fell
With merry rattle on the stage.
Good real babies in opera, though an
exception, prove very, very good like the
little girl with the curl. All they require
Is to be gently cuddled. One night in
a Butterfly" performance, a baby was
wished on me, after being told it was as
good as gold. The gold in its reputation
furnished early in the evening. AS long
as held it very close, there was not a
sound. But had to breathe that
might sing. II, to do this, loosed nv
hold 1t gave one terrific yell. Clutching
1t to my wishbone had to sing the
scene as best could.
A small boy of ruined a perform
ance in its most dramatic climax. It
was when poor Butterfly" learning
that her marriage is not valid and her
supposed husband Is now welded to
another, commits suicide. To keep the
horror OF It from her baby, she band
ages his eyes. This, at the proper
moment did. Promptly the small boy
raced from the stage yelling Mama!
On another Butterfly" night three
baby candidates were stood in a row
for me to choose from They were
children of chorus singers. Two of
them, aged 8, wept at the prospect and
were discarded. The third, aged 4,
showing neither tears nor fears, was
accepted. Before he finished that night
on the stage, I felt sure he would some
day be a noted fl1ancier. His talent for
bargaining was uncanny

Mr.. Karolik has command Of that
