Network 'FriendsofMusic"
Announce 1901 Novelties

Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Cherubini
and Locatelli also will be presented.
Il think we have never hid more
interesting, important and beautiful
group OF novelties and revivals than
these which are being prepared for the
coming season." Mr.. BodanZky is quoted
as saying. THE Janacek mass, one of
the last things he wrote, is stirring
expression Of the Czech national spirit,
filled with peasant themes--it really
has nothing TO do with the church at
all. Musically. 1t Is highly modern, but
at the same time melodious and inter-
esting in every respect.
"CarisSimi's oratorio Is we'll worth re-
viving in any case-it has been given
in New York only once, by the Schola
Cantorum few years ago-and Cuts
thorough re-editing and orchestration
give it additional interest and novelty.
1.-THE Schumann-P ftzner 'Acht Frau
enchore' Is an exquisite thing. Pfltzner
has taken eight Schumann choruses,
written originally for women's voices
and piano, orchestrated them, arranged
them in a cycle and made for them a
beautiful frame--like eight lovely mini
atures mounted within delicate golden
border. Pf1tzner Is an expert on Schu-
mann, one might almost say a wor-
shipper, and this cycle Is a labor Of
love"

certs october 26, November and %,

Other George Has Opera Aims.
The other Of these all-American COM
posers, another George, is of the sur
name Antheil. He halls from Trenton,
N. j., and it is possible that the
mechanical proves of this town Is
what inspired him to create as his most
talked-of work, a Ballet MechaniQue, "
which was orchestrated for many in
struments strange to the ordinary or
chestra. Anvils. airplant propellers, au-
tomobile horns, alarm clocks, police
whistles and sirens were among the
everyday equipment added to mechan-
ical pianos to perform music that
housed Paris first and Europe gener-
ally later to combined Kissing and ap-
plauding When the ballet finally
reached Antheils native shores and was
performed at Carnegie Hall it received
the practically unanimous edict OF
thumbs down. Antheil went to Ire
land for a time, and the latest report
has It that he is now in Paris, the city
that has been most consistently SYM
pathetic to his talent and efforts He
is reported also to have ceased his icon
oclastic clamor outside the bounds of
any vestige OF classical music and to
be writing much more conservatively at
this date Nevertheless, he, like Gersh-
win, cannot be called in any way ira
ditional
Antheil's latest efforts are along
operate lines. He has just this Spring
had an opera called Transatlantic: or
The Peoples Choice" produced in Ber-
lin, where it has aroused much discus
sion. 1t is supposed to be the story OF

THREE novelties are announced by
the Society Of the Friends of Music
in New York City for production next
year, In addition to revivals of works
by Beethoven, Mozart and Bach which
are new to the society's repertoire and
probably have not been heard in New
York in many years The programs will
include several major works sung pre-
viously by the society.
Ten concerts will be given at the
Metropolitan Opera House on Sunday
afternoons. Arthur Bodanzky, musical
director of the society, will conduct.
Walter Wohllebe continues as chorus
master and his chorus will be aug
mented to 100 voices for the larger au-
0itorium. The orchestra will be that
of the Metropolitan Opera Co.
The programs are predominantly
choral In only four cases, however,
will an entire concert be taken up by
a single work.
A list of the chief works to be given
during the 1930-1931 season follows,
the first section being new, the second
from previous repertoire:

Africa Speaks"

THE first all-talking production -
come out of the heart Of Darkest
Africa and which presents territory
never before travelled by the white man,
will be brought to the screen by Column
bia under the title of Africa Speaks"
This sound and film record of the "a
months spent in the jungle by the fa-
nous Colorado African expedition pre-
sents the thrilling adventures and dis
coveries of Paul Hoeffier, the noted At
rican explorer and big game hunter. 1t
was photographed and recorded by Paul
Hoeffler and Walter Futtcr.
For Africa Speaks" Hoeffler inaugu-
rated the use of fiber gears to silence
his camera so that he might obtain
close-ups of objects and animals which
would be frightened by the click OF
metal gears. In this manner he OBJ
tanned real close-ups and avoided the
use of telephoto lens.
The picture includes among other
startling sequences, a native lion hunt,
close-ups of the king of beasts in his
native haunts, CRATES, and the arrival
Of the first horde of locusts that have
invaded the district in 90 years.
1t is guaranteed to be 100 unlike
'Ingagi."

Buford, Tenn. Gains Fame.

POSSIBILITY that q motion picture
will make the tiny village Of Buford.
Tenn, nearly as famous as Octavus Roy
Cohen made Birmingham, Ala, looms as
the result Of production Of "Anybody's
War" Moran and Macks second Para
mount picture.
Much of the story action takes place
In Buford, the towns activities being
chronicled in characters and localities.
Buford exists almost exactly as it is
portrayed on the screen, according to
Charles E. Mack, who wrote the original
novel from which the Aim is taken.
1t Is located IS miles south of Nash
Vile in the section known as Middle
Tennessee and boasts q population of
about a dozen families In a radius Of
half a mile.
The business district includes one
general merchandise store, in the cor
ner Of which is a post office, and a
blacksmith shop and nearby a cotton
gin.
AS early as 1908 there was a store in
the village. The older inhabitants say
the railroad was there before the Civil
War. The Buford family for whom the
village was named were owners and
breeders Of the well known Hal horses.

WASHINGTON admirers of Beniami-

THERE are large number of writer's
of music who live in the United
States who are called American COM
posers. Some of them are naturalized
citizens, who blithely write music that
shows definite influence of their native
countries; some of them are born in
this country yet write in the style Of
the German, Italian or French school.
But there Is third group which in
cludes writer-born Americans, who are
writing really American music.
There are two young men who have
risen into the spotlight of fame, who
may unhesitatingly be termed 100 per
cent American composers. Many of the
music lovers who like only the works of
the classic writers of Europe may not
like their music, but certainly they can
not say it Is un-American. These boys
are George Antheil, born in Trenton,
N. j., and George Gershwin. born on
New York's East Side.
Both young men write in modern
vein. Gershwin won marked renown
with his remarkable Rhapsody in
Blue" 1t has been the one composition
that blended the elements that made
jazz success, with a standard of treat
ment that won position as a pioneer
in the newest movement Of classical
music for this work. Although his later
Concerto In FL and An American in
Paris" have aroused much discussion,
neither has achieved the unique posi-
ton held by the Rhapsody in Blue"
Since the earlier composition was first
played by leading symphonic orches-
tras and noted two-piano artists. there
have been many works by Mr.. Gersh-
win and others attempting to reach the
same level in this field, but to date none
has succeeded. It also has been ru-
mored that George Gershwin. has lately
attempted a serious opera. using the
song theme of the Jewish dramatic
masterpiece, THE Dybbuk," for his basic
theme. However, an Italian composer
was discovered working on the same
idea and with the advantage of having
acquired all operate rights from the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-13

representatives of An-sky in Warsaw.
Temporarily, therefore, Mr.. Gershwin
has laid aside work on the "Dybbuk."
His latest success has been in the lighter
field with the musical show, Strike Up
the Band" He has a contract with
the Metropolitan to provide them with
an opera and he has indicated that the
theme will be contemporary and Amer
lean.
Gershwin Is Not Traditional.
Mr.. Gershwin has been quoted in this
connection as saying: Certainly I'll not
write a traditional score Because, in
the first place, have no traditions.
Don't talk Indians to me, either, for the
Indian is just as much a foreigner to a
contemporary American as is Russian;
more of foreigner, in fact. Where is
the sense-thats the way feel about it,
anyway, and 1 can talk only for myself
in trying to repeat something that
Verdi or Wagner have already done in
indispensable form? I'd rather make
my own mistakes. break my own paths. +"
Everyone who has had any personal
contact whatsoever with George Gersh-
win must realize that this boy, who,
when Is, first got longed-for piano
and began his musical studies with a
teacher friend on the East Side of New
York, Is primarily not traditional. In
an interview with him in Washington
the year his Concerto in F" had. its
debut, this fact was brought out rather
amusingly. Mr.. Gershwin was sitting
in one of the very back rows of the
National Theater here. The house was
dark except for the pale glimmer that
surrounds always a stage where re-
hearsal is in echoing progress. Sammy
Lee was putting the chorus girls of
Gershwin's "Tip-Toes" through their
PAGES and a few lost souls were drifting
aimlessly about. Gershwin was asked
how he went about the writing of a
formal concerto when, except for his
blue rhapsody. all his musical writing
had been in the musical comedy field.
He said:
We'll, went to the Public Library's
