the Music Division of the Public Ii
brary, the association, as invited
guests, heard the Casella Trio in a
program of interest to chamber music
groups. In November Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend gave a talk on the vocal
method of Jean de Reszka. and Edwin
Hughes spoke ON Leschetizky and his
manner of teaching. A talk on radio
music and program by the Cremona
Quartet was given in January, and
in February Egon Petri preceded his
lecture on How to Practice" with a
piano recital The March program,
given by Sylvia Lent, violinist, honored
the memory of her father.
The aims of the association are
three: To encourage good fellowship
in the profession, to advance the
cause of sound musical instruction
and clarity ethical problems and to
further the general musical activities
of the community. The meetings, the
code of ethics, carefully constructed,
and contributions to the Public Lii
brary Music Division and the National
Symphony have exemplified the inter-
preation of the reasons for the forma-
tlon OF the association.
r ECENTLY the A Cappella Choir
of First Congregational Church,
Ruby Smith Stahl, director, ventured
into the heart of musical endeavor by
giving a concert at Town Hall, New
York City. The annual Lenten pro-
gram of this polished group has at
tracted special attention in local
music circles and their recent appear
ance in Philadelphia at the Fedora
ton of Music Clubs national reunion
was one of the high lights of the en-
tertainment program, but this is the
first attempt of any Washington
choral group to win renown in the
uncompromising atmosphere of So
phisticated New York. The following
excerpts from the criticisms of the
most prominent newspapers Of that
city are worthy of reproduction as a
means of spreading the good news of
the success of local singers and as an
encouragement to others to go and
do likewise.
The New York Herald Tribune
says: THE singers, under the direc-
ton of Ruby Smith Stahl, made an
excellent first impression here for sew
eral reasons, including the collective
quality of tone, devotion to pitch and
responsiveness to their leaders wishes
in expressive and dynamic coloring.
The Washingtonians were warmly ap-
plauded by good-sized audience" In
the New York Times: "The choir
acquitted itself with distinction in
tonal shadings and expressive treat
ment of text"
I. K. in the Sun says: "In Pales-
trinas o Bone Jesu' and Now Thank
We All Our God,' by Crueger, the
choir displayed the benefits of sound
training under Miss Stahl, especially
in technical matters of unanimity,
nuance and intonation. She was very
successful in establishing good bal
ance between the different parts and
maintaining that relationship" while
Pitts Sanborn in the Christian Science
Monitor writes: The white-robed
choristers, singing entirely from men,
ory and without accompaniment,
showed skill throughout, enunciating
clearly, phrasing musically and
achieving noteworthy balance and
finish "

While the io-phonograpn de-
velopment is exclusively for the nm
ishing process of piano playing, Prof.
Coolidge Is at present using an aid
that later may be applied to the very
rudiments of study. A method has
been perfected by means OF which
musical scores are projected on
screen at the same time that the
music itself is being played. For the
moment this invention is being used
in the study of modern music as a
method of assisting in the under
standing and appreciation OF the new
harmonic combinations and form OF
the so-called modernistS. BY means
of this projection, entire classes OF
students are able to follow the har-
monic and rhythmic variations and
the parts of the different instruments
with the eye while the ear hears the
performance of the composition.
The study outline begins with
discussion of the score to be played,
after which, page by page, the music
Is thrown on the screen so that the
technical study may be furthered by
the coordination of sight and sound.
SOOllOSC says Va IA1Ao AiSN AAASS1AON
of music study: The plan makes it
easier to discuss technicalities and
eliminates the need for supplying all
members of the class with individual
scores The novelty increases student
interest in their work"
A miniature camera is used for the
photographing of consecutive parts OF
the score with a film 35 millimeterS
in size of the same type as employed
for moving pictures and the resulting
film slides" attached to a protector
of standard make operated by elec-
tricity.
Such a method of study has great
possibilities. BY its means school
groups and music school students
could carefully study symphonic
scores or any type of music and be-
come more fundamentally acquainted
not only with the actual writing. but
also with the interpretive indications.
Beginning with the simplest music for
childish faculties, it would be easy to
plan a progressive aural and visual
study that would surely clarity much
that does not become plain until after
many years of study and infuse a
vital interest into the analysis OF the
Individual talent of each composer.
The radio-phonograph recording
which Nine. Won Unschuld has been
80 successfully using is also of great
constructive help to the student. Any
inStrumentalist who has need of an
orchestra or another instrument in
ensemble work will have at hand
record that can be played until
knowledge of the entire composition is
perfected. With such helps as these
music study should bring quick and
positive results.

GRANDFATHER OF
 MILNE SHOCKED
Can't Believe Story Told By YOutIl-WiII Stay in
 Background

Philadelphia, Dec. 28- (UP)-- Caleb J. Milne, 2nd, wealthy grand father of Caleb J. Milne, 4th, was shocked" today when informed that his grandson confessed his kidnap- ing was a hoax.
 ''It's inconceivable," Milne said. T can't believe such a story" He told the United Press he had talked with J. Edgar Hoover, chief justice agent, yesterday afternoon regarding Caleb's departure from his mothers home at Woodstock, N. F., but was given no information as to the belief of federal agents at that time.
 Milne said he had visited the youth for about only two minutes while he was recuperating in 8 Doylestown hospital.
 "Caleb appeared very weak and was unable to talk, so did not stay long," he asserted.
 As to the alleged hypodermiC needle marks in his one arm, Milne said he did not know definitely, "but his one arm was very sore."
 The youths grandfather added that he would not go to New York, and he would stay in the back ground" as he has done all along.
