“ S more than one wise man has remarked in pages handed down through dusty centries, there is nothing like co-operation. That this statement is true of music as well as in all other lines of endeavor was admirably proved recently by the mass concert of the United States Army and Marine bands. The concert was presented under the guspice$ of the Belleau Woods Memorial Association, and was so enthusiastically received that many requests 'have been made since then to both band leaders for more concerts by the combined bands. s ok ok ok URING the world war the American soldiers and marines by their combined efforts and excellent “teamwork” won cternal fame on the battlefield. At this concert, the soldiers and marines in these two fine musical organizations proved that the same thing could be accomplished musically. Musicians and singers. are generally hoted for a quality of tempera- rent that calls persistently for appreciation of their talents as individuals. There are many highly talented men in these two bands—in fact, every man in the two organizations is carefully chosen for marked ability—yet they have one and all submerged their personal identities and talents for the success of not only their own band as a unit, but for the multiplied impressiveness of the two units working as one. The results obtained by this intelligent co-operation were generally consider¥d to far exceed all the previous records of the two organizations working separately. There was splendid tonal quality, richly sonorous and of stupendous volume, but lacking that harshness that is frequently heard at massed band concerts T[ll, cot mentec * anding officer of the United States Marine Band compli- 1 both organizations very highly and commended their co- operat! in a speech to the massed band, stating as his belief that these two organizations combined could beat the world in music.

Big producers and directors are praised for having aided many a struggling _artist to higher things, but de Mille's name is seldom men- tioned. However, it is said to be because he {s entirely too quiet and unobtrusive to seek the spotlight. But a search into the back records shows that more than one prominent film player must thank'de Mille. Lois Wilson, for example, was little heard of until she attracted wide and favor- able comment in “The Lost Romance,” fiss Lulu Bett” and “Midsummer { Madness,” all Willlam de Mille pro- ductions. Thomas Meighan added im- measurably to his fame under de Mille's direction in “The Prince Chap” and “Conrad in Quest of His Youth."” In “Midsummer Madness’ and “The Lost Romanee” Jack Holt'won lau- rels which elevated him to the point of stardom. Today Willlam de Mille is still the same quiet, unobtrusive director, always making good pictures, al- ways bringing to light good actors and actresses.

KING VIDOR, who has put the fin- ishing touches to his first Gold- wyn picture, “Thres Wise Fools,” from the play by John, Golden, will next make “Wild Oranges,” Joseph the Georgla coast as its locale. The wild and eerle setting and .subtle strain of mystery interwoven caused Vidor's decision. The story concerns John Woolfolk, who since the death of his girl wife twelve years previously had lived secluded aboard his yacht. On the coast of'Georgia he finds a young girl, Minnle, llving with her cowardly father, and thelr servant, Nicholas, a homicidal mantac. The girl lives. in daily fes#r of Nicholas. The latter kills the girl's father and himself killed by Woolfolk, who takes Minnie away with him. Together they find happiness. . It is not explained how oranges” get into the tr: “wild c romance.

Mr. Gpnverse is one of that list. \ C. Crozat Converse was born in Warren, Mass, on October 7, 1832, His ancestry can be traced ack through American channels to the days of 1630. Like more of the mem- bers of the New England group of musiclans, he spent much of his com- qnulnx genius with religious themes. Particularly notable among his re- iiglous works that have become po| ular are the two hymns, “God for Us” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The last-mentioned is sald to have been published on over 50,- 000,000 coples and printed in all the tongues of Christendom. Mr. Converse studied for the law and Feceived his LL. B. from the Al- bany Law School In 1861 and his doc- tor’s degree from Rutherford College, N. C., in 1895 He went to Germany to study law and philosophy In 1855 and also studled music there with such in- structors as Richter, Hauptmann, Plaidy and Haupt while attending the Leipzig Conservatory. Later. in the United States, he refused the honor of a doctorship of music from the Uni- versity of Cambridge offered him by the distinguished English composer. Sterndale Bennett. The offer w. made in recognition of the exoellenc of his five-voiced double fugue that forms the finale of his psalm-cantata on the 126th Psalm.

When it was agreed that the Wister romance should be refiimed by Pre- ferred Pictures as a Tom Forman pro- duction, it was decided that the new picture’ should be made on a more elaborate scale and that the old film should be destroyed. To carry out this last stipulation all the existing prints of the original cellulofd Virginian were recalled and the lot—valued. it is said, at approxi- mately $100,000—were placed in & great bonfire that flared skyward in the presence of representatives of the original producers and the purchasers of rights to the story Filming has already started on the new and costly verstonj with Kenneth Harlan, Florence Vidor, Russell Simpson, Pat O'Malley and Raymond Hatton in the cast SOL MINSTER. \HERE are many individuals in Washington music circles who may be called the “old standbys” of local music programs.

It 1s an innocent form of egotism that is natural enough. Instinctively one is inclined to be hostile to’the thing that Is strange and offer warm wel- come to that to which one is accus- tomed. Because of this thers have been frequent discussions as to what is really a popular concert program. What does the public really want = llllélel‘ or musiclan to give at a con- cert. 2 .The Wolfsohn Musical Bureau has taken this matter up and has sug- gested programs for vocalists, pro- viding 'a cross-section of what people like to hear at concerts. It is quite probable that many other equally popular programs could be suggested.
