I want to take my audience behind the

the thrill OF earlier years, and recalling
these favorites of the American theater.

paths of German and Italian
music study. 1t is said that when
Verdi heard the first performance
of Gomez opera, I'll Guarani," at
La Scala in Milan, he enthusi-
astically exclaimed: This young
man is beginning where I left of, +"
and a celebrated pupil of Hayden,
who spent a few years in Brazil,
pronounced Father MauriciO equal
to Mozart.
At the foot of the Andes, where
the Indian still celebrates his re-
ligiouS festivals with music play
ed on ancient instruments, Emilio
Murillo, the great Colombian
composer, sought and found his
musical inspiration. Here he
studied and absorbed these themes
and rhythms Of pure American
origin and welded them together
by the harmonic aid Of the Eu-
ropean school. His Hymn to the
Sun" is the inspired work of a
master. Guatemala and Yucatan
conserve the Mayan music, the
musical expression of the glorious
old civilization we have recently
discovered that era to have been.
Its type, of a distinct originality
and differing completely from
other Latin American music, has
been put into modern dress in the
opera, The Native Warrior" by
Jesus Castillo, which has had
many public appearances.
To Venezuela North Americans

helped in giving to the world our
own composer, Edward Mac
Dowell. For several years he was
a pupil of Teresa Carreno, the
Venezuelan-born but world-ac-
claimed pianist. If he could not
equal the unbounded tempera-
ment and gigantic technic Of his
teacher, he gained the power OF
her musicianship. which he adapt
ed to his less robust talent. To-
day, Reynaldo Hahn, claimed with
pride by France as one of its fin
est composers and conductors, is
nevertheless a Venezuelan by
birth, and French by adoption.
Mexico has especially contributed
to the number of concertizing
artists and it is said there are
many more of the artistic type
of Jose Mojica if they could but
be induced to leave their beau
tiful country and make the world
their stage. Cuba. Bolivia, Chilli,

some respects, surpasses the

The music Of the New World
here. perhaps. is the salvation of
this tired Old World that is SO
enmeshed in it's musical compli-
cations that it has lost sight of
the inspirational possibilities of
simplicity and true feeling. In
the unique conditions of unspoiled
sentiment that exist in the sim
pier folk of Latin America there
is a tonic for our faded musical
senses and a new rhythm for the

Philadelphia Orchestra have become
more and more popular until sales for
the records made by Mr.. Stokowski and
his famous organization now reach
more than a half million each year
