Philadelphians Have
Famous Baritone
AS SOlOist.

WHEN John Charles Thomas, the
famous American baritone, ap-
pears here on April S, with the Phila-
delphia Orchestra, he will sing twice
on the program. The first time he
will be heard in Verdis Fri Tu" from
The Masked Ball" and later in Grieg S
Eros" Duparc's "Phydile" and Mas
senet's recitative and aria, "Salome'
from "Herodiade"
When he is not on a concert tour or
busy with operatic activities at the
Metropolitan, he spends nearly all OF
his time on his 85-foot yacht The
Masquerader. Il have no home but
that boat" Thomas says. MY apart
ment in New York is only an office or
a place to stay when business keeps
me in the city. Masquerader is our
real home. Some day I suppose we
shall have to take house ashore and
then I shall have to replace Mas
uuerader with smaller boat-one
less expensive to maintain"
Masquerader always goes with
Thomas on his vacations. Every May
and June he goes fishing in Florida,
spending his holidays in the Keys.
Attached to the yacht is small fleet
of other little boats-runabouts, speed
boats, fishing skiff and a rowing
dinghy. Within the last year or SO
Thomas has become an important
figure in American motorboat racing,
winning numerous medals, cups and
other trophies. His enthusiasm for
racing caused him to establish new
trophy for the American Power Boat
Association. Henceforth the Thomas
trophy-a huge, sterling silver tray
will be presented annually to the win
ner of what is known as the 225 class.
There is every inL.cation that it will
become one of the most strived for
prizes of American speedboat racing.

Although Antonio Vivaldi devoted
his life chiefly to music, he was early
ordained a priest, and because Of the
color of his hair he is known in
musical history as the red priest of
Venice" He was one Of the most
incredibly prolific composers on rec

instrumental combinations, which rep
resent only small portion of his
actual output, numbering more than
100.
Bach was both student and an

the finest artists before the public to-
day and suddenly the idea was borne
in upon the music lovers that here
was chance to have for all time the
interpretations of the worlds MASTER
pieces by their favorite artists rather
than have performance gone forever
over the air with one hearing.
Within the last two years the sale
of monographs and of records has
taken on a new impetus. People are
acquiring libraries of the finest music
and demanding more. The victrola
has been improved from every angle,
so that now one has greater richness
of tone which can be varied at the
pleasure of the listener, as we'll as
comfort in manipulating the change
of records. Every few months some
new improvement has been added, so
that it seems there is no end to what
will eventually be accomplished by the
designers. The various companies
have overlooked no opportunity in
musical performances which might
prove of special interest to their
patrons.
ONE of the greatest undertakings
has been the Victor Co.'S reg
istration of Bach's "The Passion Ac-
cording to st. Matthew" by the Boston
Symphony Orchestra under the di-
rection of Serge Koussevitzky. assisted
by the Harvard Glee Club, the Rad
cliffe Choral Society. G. Wallace
WoodWorth, conductor and as soloists,
Jeannette Vreeland. soprano; Kathryn
Meisle, contralto; John Priebe. tenor;
Keith Faulkner and Fritz Lechner,
basses. In addition, they have used
a harpsichord played by DR.. v. Ernst
Wolff, viola de gambia played by
Alfred zighera, with Louis Speyer
and Jean Devergie playing the oboi
damore and Mr. Speyer and Henry
Stanislaus performing on the oboi da
caccia.
These two now obsolete instruments
were favorites of Bach, and his use of
them was frequent when he sought a
particular tonal effect. The large list
of performers also includes Carl Wein-
rich, organist; Georges Laurent. flutis::,
and Richard Burgin and Julius Theo-
doroWicz, violinists.
The times that this great work of
Bach has been given in this country
are very few. Last year, in March,
it was presented by the Boston SYM
nhnyov oyI fhocn ficfc iv,
Hall, Boston, for the pension fund
of the Boston Symphony. The record
ing was made at that time and re-
quired great deal of ingenuity in
the matter of placing of the ensembles
and in deciding how much could be
put on one record. The first re-
lease was an album of 10 double disks
while the second has double and l
single disks. The final numbers of the
Passion" will be released in April
The whole will make a collection of
about 27 records.
IN RECORDING the Passion" dur
ing the performance in Symphony
Hall the disks have caught all of the
emotionalism which goes into a public
presentation. There is none of the
forced atmosphere which might accrue
from recording in studio without
the benefit of an appreciative au-
dience. In fact, the sounds from the
audience are also taken on the rec
ords, and one can hear the rustling
of released tension when a pause in
the music occurs and the inevitable
coughing and other disturbances

Shows how little you know
of a logger's outlook" he re-
piled. "The companies went
about this business with malice
aforethought. At the same time
as they fixed up these barracks
and mess halls, they brought in
hordes of girl mattresses. Now
here's the idea. The big lumber
companies have always had
trouble holding good men. These
lads, such as myself, would
work a spell, get some money to-
gether and then go off on a
grand drunk till the dough was
used up. Kind of threw sched-
ules out of whack for the COM
panies.
G0TNHEY deliberately brought
l. those mattresses into the
camps with the idea that lonely
men would marry them. They
even offer them houses, rent
free, if they'll hook up-and,
believe me, they're doing it.
There were more than a hun
dred camp weddings in the West
Coast logging camps this winter
and 80 per cent of them with
mattresses. The next thing a
logger does is have kids-and
quit drinking! Isn't it time I
was going back to Ireland?"
The final straw, the one that
broke the camel's back, arrived
when Mr.. Skully walked into
the camp store on his last log
ging job and asked to buy a
red wool undershirt. They didn't
have any-but they offered him
four choices Of color in rayon!
Stumbling out of the place in
a blind rage, he knocked over
a movable glass counter stocked
with baby diapers, rouge, lip
stick, hair nets and tWo-way-
stretch girdles!

AS a visitor to your great ma

speak English too well, I wish
to make a protest against the
incivility of some Of the police
Of your city.
I am a Frenchman, who dur
ing war entertained American
soldiers, and they told me I must
come and visit their great coun-
try, and for all these years I
longed to do so.
At last am able to come here,
and I arrived in Washington
with the great spirit of feeling
for George Washington and Ben
