were straining forward in their pro-
grams to see who might be appearing

Nevertheless, if the younger, as well
as the older generation, wish brief
and exhilarating glimpse Of acting at
its most sublime, If they will pause
long enough in the brisk climate of an
autumnal May Cat least it was cool
last night to give Nine. Nazimova
the attention she deserves, then they
should haste to the National for an
evening of continual sorrow in which
the author and his star conspire to
heap Goals Of fire upon grief and re-
duce all sensible and even insensible
citizens to a cringing pulp.

GHOSTS" is not, of course, the
~ sort Of business on which to
sharp the appetite of Alice and
Wonderland" assemblies. The very
young should not attend 1t, and even
the very old may come out Of it
quaking with Nightmares. Certainly
the sins of the fathers visited upon
their children, ETC., have never been
bound into a play which you may at
tend with rejoicing.
The plight, particularly in this case,
of poor Mrs. Alving, who sends her
son out Of her home so that he may
not know the errors of his male par
ent, is one of the Saddest ones extant.
And when, after a lifetime Of devo-
ton to this also-smitten human, she
finds him hopeless derelict, useless
in mind and purpose, and quite in
sensible to the sacrifices she has made
In his behalf, no wonder 1t is that she
fortifies herself against the eternal
disaster by giving him the drugs that
up to then she had cried out against.
A LII of this is spoken in clear and
beautiful English by Nazimova
and her company. In smaller roles
Beatrice de Neergaard and Raymond
O'Brien stand out in their simplicity
and excellent. Mr.. Morris seems
rather overdone. But Mr.. Ellerbe,
after perhaps a faltering start, strikes
chord after chord Of the sort Of be-
numbed grief that his author must
have wanted from him-and his last
scene is something which may not
easily be forgotten.
For the rest, in fact almost for all,
the quiet. dignified, moving spirit Of
a great actress carries the play for
ward to its half dozen or more cur
tain calls. which it undoubtedly de-
serves. 1t is distinct triumph for
Nazimova and one for which she de-
serves infinite credit.

Music Talk

Noted Conductor Dis

given by Antonia Brico, noted
woman orchestra conductor,
Il was given last evening at Wes-
ley Hall. Her subject was Musical
Attitudes Here ard Abroad" The
Washington Music Teachers Asso-
citation, Mrs. Hugo Hesselbach, pres
ident, attended in body. the lecture
serving as the feature of the monthly
meeting of the Association.
Miss Brico proved to be as dynamic
a speaker as conductor with many
truths to tell which she did in a
straightforward fashion, with no at
tempt to minimize the importance of
her message. For her talk was in
reality message to the parents and
teachers in the cause Of music study
and appreciation in this country in
which she impressed upon her lis
teners the value Of the talent to
be found at every hand and the
responsibility toward its developemert
Europeans Music Lovers.
In informal manner, she told of
the great love for music which is
to be found in every European COM
munity and how no matter what
national distress may occur, music
is cherished and cultivated. American
talent rates high ir Europe, especially
the vocal talent, but America has
still to appreciate its own to the extent
Of providing every means for its
training and opportunities for it to
be presented to the world She ad-
vocated the beginning of the study
Of music even before the school age
believing that the energy of children
can be employed as successfully in
learning the rudiments of music as
in any less important occupation.
Her talk was interspersed with
many entertaining anecdotes, mary
of them connected with her stay in
Bayreuth where she served as coach
at the opera. During her stay in
Europe she conducted concerts in
Germany, Poland and Latvia and
spoke from personal experience Of
the high standard of excellence at
tanned by musicians who followed
music as an avocation as we'll as those
who had passed through the arduous
course Of study necessary to become
a professional. Miss Brico attended
the Hoshschule fur Musk in Berlin
and studied conducting under DR..
Karl Muck, the noted German con-
ductor.
Needs of United States.
She belives more orchestras and
more opera companies are needed in
United States and that it was not
necessary that they all be of superior
quality but the prime need is to be
able to hear more of the great works
in order to cultivate a liking for good
music. One enjoys the music which
one has heard often enough, she con-
tends, and even symphonic music
can becomee popular with the layman
If he has sufficient opportunity to
hear it.
At the end of the lecture Miss Brico
offered to answer any questions asked
her and several took the occasion to
ask regarding the expense of music
study abroad in comparison with this
country and other pertinent matters.
The second lecture on Prejudice and
Discrimination Against Women in the
Music World" will be given tomorrow
morning at II o'clock at Wesley Hall.

Comparison has it that Nazimova is
less ambitious in her grief, more

She refrains from swallowing up the

brooding over her sorrows while more
