busy friend at the other. A singer sings
as she walks across the stage, the sounds
of her invisible movements accompany
ing her singing.
The range of sound which can be
transmitted was shown by q musical
chart Of nine octaves thrown on a
screen. The lowest tone, hardly audible,
crept up the series Of notes to vanish
in the sounds beyond the range Of hu-
man ears. Further demonstrations
proved the control Of range in pitch
that this invention Is the first to ar
rive at.
The musical program continued with
the performance Of Debussy's "L'apres-
midi dun Faune" and a magnificent
and awe-inspiring rendition of the finale
OF Wagners "Goetterdaemmerung."
From musical standpoint, the door
has been opened to undreamed of (per-
haps dreamed of by Wagner, neverthe-
less) possibilities Of expression. 1t is
remarkable to note. however, that the
urally fitting for the ampliflcations that
are possible through this new inven-
ton. OF the entire program, the Bee
thoven symphony was the least satisfy
ing through this production. Bachs
music is more adaptable, strange to say.
Debussy exquisitely SO. but the apogee
Of grandeur was reached in Wagner.
The colorful impressionistic picturaza-
ton which filled the screen on the stage,
as visual accompaniment of the mu-
sic, interpreted, by its changing lights,
the mood of the composition. The rose
window of Bach was superseded by .
dimly towering mountain effect at sun
set for Beethoven, vague pastel shad
ings for Debussy and for Wagner,
grandiose flaming light. surrounding a
family visible recumbrent figure of
Bruhuhilda, which changed through
clouds Of color to the clearly defined
outlines Of Valhalla
Dr. Stokowski had chosen a program
well calculated to show different points
of contrast In the classical numbers
the lack Of the human element, the In
innate union Of musicians and audience,
might be felt but for Wagner and De-
busy. who translated music Of the
spheres, it was an ideal medium Of ex-
manner host of glories to yet be
given out.
In a short speech at the end Of the
program, Dr. Stokowski told of the
greater richness of tone color, to be
achieved, the importance Of sensation
of space in music and the mastery Of
the control of sound which will now
be possible He also spoke of the
greater musical advantages to be ac-
crued by the remote corners Of the
country through the actual bringing to
them over a system of wires not only

classes than with the younger. Some
OF the very young, indeed. have
complained that 1t is sloppy
saga, too drolling with emotion,
and completely unconNncing as to
story. They say that no such bitterness
could ever have come into a single
home, and that wars just don't behave
themselves that way.
Unfortunately. they are wrong. wars
do behave themselves that way. People
who have seen service in the Boer war
and the Great War. and those other
major disasters depicted in the MIN
will tell you that the film is grippingly
true. That while sentiment and theater
may rub elbows in 1t, there is vastly
important part of the material devoted
to fact, which is as true and as mercl-
less as the fact that there was such a
thing as a World War.
The events which are mustered may
be presented at the height OF their
theatric value, but they are also pre-
sented IN what must have been at one
time or another the full fury OF tnelr
truth. Some little boy. for instance.
might we'll have said, as he watched
queen Victoria's funeral procession.
'She must have been a very little
LADY,; a pair of lovers may very well
have walked away from in front OF

that single word. Titanic" and a
mother, whose sons have lived through
a succession Of wars, might easily have
lost two Of them during the short span
Of a dozen years.
yet. these very events have caused
those who seem to think "Cavalcade'
is all theater and tinsel to complain
that no such tragedies ever occurred
IN our civilized world. They point to
Mr.. Coward and say that he has woven
his tanestry with the single purpose of
pointing Q finger Of wrath at the folly
of war. They rant and roar at his
theatric conception Of hystercal doings
which they claim were actually as
normal and smooth and unemotlonal
as butter. ~,
THANKFULLY many, many people will
DENY this, too Mr.. Coward u pacl-
fist only In that he chooses to show
the blindness Of man In the pursuit
OF pride. He Is fonder Of the family
as q unit than he IL Of the uprootlng
of man and the every-so-often blowing
up of him to BITS His message s one
OF loyalty and courage in the midst OF
the hard and cold necessity OF ngnting
the rood fgtt. You cannot blame him
for feeling that It is too bad that sucn
a splendidly patriotic family as the
Marryots should be wrecked through
circumstances which are far beyond
its control.
Whatever you may think of the
story whatever you may think OF Mr.
Coward's bitter philosophy, Whatever
YOU may think Of the vast spread OF
emotion which is necessary to the un-
raveling of this theme, you will have
to admit that, as production, II Is
ned product Of the season. Each CHAR
acter is reality. Each scene Is life.
Each spoken word is meant with in
tense sincerity. There is not crop
of blood lost in its transplanting from
stage to screen. Mr.. Coward Will tell
YOU that he is enormously satisfied with
it, because it has been edited word for
word, and whipped straight from the
original with the omission Of only one
brief scene.
