Domingo Santa Cruz, dean of the
faculty of fine arts of the University
of Chile, is not merely a school
official who fulfllls his obligations
with strict punctuality, working at
his desk from morning until night.
He is more than that. He is man
at the service of an ideal His love
for art has led him to take part
in all the cultural activities in Chile
for many years, and in them all
he has been good campaigner
with well-defined opinions, which,
at times, might even be called domi-
neering.
Before accepting the official posi-
ton which he now holds and to
which he has been elected twice,
Domingo Santa Cruz worked un-
ceasingly in the Sociedad Bach
(Bach Society.
The Bach Society is private
musical institution organized in
Santiago years ago for the purpose
of making the masterpieces of the
famous German master better
known, but the programs of its con-
certs soon included chamber and
symphony music of all the great
composers. In those days the aim
of the society was to oppose the
influence, perhaps excessive, of Ital-
ian lyrical music. This influence
was determining the taste of the
public and the general orientation

Following the performances at the
Pan-American Union and at the
Pan-American Club of the Y. M. C.
A., this latter given Friday, the di-
rector of the Pan-American Choral
Society, Nine Nadia FAM d'Aulby,
decided to enlarge the group. With
this object in view, she plans to in
stitute spring session for the train
ing of second singing group, 70 be
combined with the initial group.
Subscriptions will be received dur
ing the entire month of April at the
studio of Nine. d'Aulby, 735 Thir-
teenth street NV. Male voices
especially are desired, particularly a
tenor for solo parts. The latter
part of May an important perform
ance will be given by the Pan-Amer-
ican Choral Society.

of the studies pursued in the old
National Conservatory.
1t was an impassionated, as we'll
as a passionate campaign, and
Domingo Santa Cruz has been the
soul and champion of a true move
ment Of renovation in Chile.
The Bach Society, it is only fair
to recall, is the precursor of another
private organization, the Associa-
cion Nacional de Conciertos Sin
fonicos National Association of
Symphony Concerts), which sup
ports the orchestra that bears its
name. Santiago will never forget
the magnificent concerts in the
fashionable hall of the Teatro Cen
trail on Huerfanos street. They were
splendid seasons-five of them.
The baton of Armando Carvajal,
the director Of the symphony Or
chestra and of the national con-
servatory, won merited prestige by
his steadfastness, by his honesty of
Interpretation, and by his artistic
feeling. And the prestige of Car
vajal transcended the boundaries of
Chile. In 1898, by special invita-
ton, the director of the Chilean
orchestra attended the festivities by
which Bogota celebrated the fourth
centennial of its founding. In the
Colombian capital Carvajal directed
the Colombian orchestra admirably
in three or four symphony concerts.
We mention all of this because of
it's relation to the work of Domingo
Santa Cruz, first in the Bach So
ciety and later in the National As
sociation of Symphony Concerts.
The dean of the faculty of fine
arts was an active member of both
of these organizations.

Eddy is in Washington today,
waiting for 4 o'clock this afternoon
when he will give his last song

presented him here six times,

wanted him next season, but SO

By Elena de Sapn,

A miscellaneous aggregation of
single records made by Columbia
and Victor, featuring shorter pieces
confirms that both companies strive
to enrich their collections with num-
bers not overly exploited on the
concert platform. To these belong
two French compositions, one by De-
busy, First Rhapsody" for clari-
net, played by the incompatible
Benny Goodman, the wizard per-
former of jazz and of high-class
music, and Saint-SGens' "Scherzo
Op. 81" for two pianos, presented by
a perfect team, Arthur Loesser and
Beryl RubinStein. Both recordings
are released by Columbia.
Even at a first hearing it is hard
to believe that Saint Saens was de-
MED the coveted Grand Prix de
Rome" at the Paris Conservatory 80
years ago because Berlioz main
tanned he lacked melody" 1t is
the type of his melodies today, his
sense of proportion and finish that
make his shorter selections so de-
lightful. To hear the two artists
toss off brilliantly any difficulties
encountered, stirs interest in the
composer. The recording is un-
usually good.
Although Saint-Saens' contem-
porary and his junior by a score
and 10, Claude Debussy was a revo-
lutionary who broke all the then
existing precedents and standards.
His clarinet Rhapsody" is one of
the best examples of his style free
as to form, but clear as to the de-
velopment of his ideas, woven into
a rich harmonic structure. The vel
vety tone of the instrument, against
the background of strings and of
the harp, occasionally, opens ravish-
ing vistas into tonal exploits which
lift the clarinet into place of
importance as solo instrument.
Mr.. Goodman, a master in more
than one line, gives the compost
ton a full measure of his talent.
John Barbirolli and the New York
Philharmonic assist the artist ex-
pertly.
Another Debussy's work, an aria
from his famous cantata, 'L-En-
FAINT Prologue which brought him
the prize once denied to Saint
Saens, has found the right inter-
prefer in Dorothy Maynor. A 12-
inch disc. released by Victor, con-
tains, in addition on the reverse
side, the exquisite aria. 'Depuis lie
Jour-" from Charpentier's Louise"
both serving as examples of Miss
Maynor's versatility. She is able
to give two entirely different tone
qualities to her voice, the first
rich and deep in timbre, the sec
ond lovely in its higher tessitura.

Dean Domingo Santa Cz Ubholds Love of Art for Chile

that 1t is the fruit of the study,
the love and the devotion of Do
mingo Santa Cruz. When the law
was promulgated the man who had
led the fight for it had already
left Santiago.
Reform Leader.
1t is to the culture of Domingo
Santa Cruz, a composer in his
leisure hours, and to his organiz-
ing spirit that Chile owes the re-
forms which have been effectuated
in the courses of study offered for
artistic and musical education in
Chile. These reforms have made
of the School of Fine Arts and Of
the national conservatory notable
schools of culture, with a broad and
modern orientation where distin-
guiShed artists and young masters
are developed. The pupils of the
conservatory have ceased to be the
amateurs of former times. Today
they are professionals and some Of
them honor the name of Chile.
Another of the important tasks
to which Santa Cruz has set him.
self is the promotion of the ap-
piled arts. in the school devoted to
them, which has also been estab-
lished in Santiago.
Domingo Santa Cruz is at pres
ent visiting the United States and
is already thinking of the posi-
bility of organizing an exposition
of Chilean paintings in the city of
New York next year. Far from
his own country, in this land of
marvels, the United States, he con-
tinues to serve Chile with the same
faith, with the same enthusiasm in
his special field, the field which is
undoubtedly the one nearest to the
heart and mind of man.

chestras cannot thrive as private
institutions. The same phenomenon
repeats itself In all countries. The
income from attendance, no mat

time the Chilean orchestra received

not enough to cover it's annual
budget. 1t had. to become an official
