A modern Oriental dance, entitied “Sahara,” is danced to the music of Delibes. It tells of a girl escaped from a prison harem, lost in the desert seeking freedom. vet realizing that the only real freedom is of the mind.

HE opening of the public high schools last Monday marked the commencegient of the 11th year of giving major music credits to students for serious music study with private teachers. Upon request bulletins and application blanks may be obtained by those interested, at all local high schools. After a concerted effort of nearly 10 years the plan to grant such a credit was_secured for local high achools by Dr. Willard S. Small, then principal of Eastern High Schooi, now dean of a department of the Marvland University, and Miss Katharine Mc- Reynolds, pianist, now Mrs. Martin T. Morrison, wife of the former Rep- resentative from Indiana The plan of operation was modeled after that already established in large high Schools in_other cities of the United States. It provided a major credit for satisfactory progress made in musical education obtained from outside teachers of pianoforte, vocal and orchestral instruments Dr. Small expected ‘o give the new plan a trial for a year at Lastern before approaching the other schools with it, but the announce- ment was scarcely made before the interest it aroused became o general that all the other high schools in the city were forced to grant a like credit before a week had passed While the same gencral plan was adopted by all of them, it is interest- ing to note the difference in the in- dividual development of the various high schools. Eastern and Western, under the enthusiastic supervisorship of Mrs. Frank Byram and Miss Lucy Lynch, have adhered closely to the original plan, and earnest music students are welcomed and encouraged in outside music_study. In their semi-annual examinations progress is strictly graded by professional musicians, ex- perts in the instrument studicd. Business High School since the Fall of 1923 has its own music supervisar, Miss Emma Louise Thompson, for- merly of the faculty of the Washing- ton College of Music, and follows closely in the footsteps of Kastern and Western. McKinley Manual Training_ High School, with Miss Florence Keene, supervisor, and Dore Walton, director, has won a unique position in the his tory of our city schools by artistic annual performances of light opera. For this reason it offers unusual in- ducements to the student interested in opera and orchestra practice com- bined. Central High School, H. P. Hoover, supervisor, it seems, is more in favor of general musical education, gives a smaller per cent to the actual prog- ress in music studied outside. Central requires an entrance oxami- nation where, it is understood, the possession” of absolute pitch (easiest of musical gifts) is required. In the | usefuiness high | semi-annual sight reading is emphasized. This year Central introducing an in- teresting new feature in the form of 1 class in musical appreciation. It is examinatiol clever suggested that the parents of talented sons and daughters carefully con- sider the opportunities offered by the different high schools before making their choice The popularity sic credit system may be for by a general recognition of its There has been a decided increase in the number of students obtaining this credit. From a mere handful at Eastern and Western, the first year, the number has grown to 40 and 50, respectively. The other high schools have increased propor- tionatel. The supervisors of music state that giving this redit seems to have aroused added interest in all musical activities of the school by those re- ceiving it, as well as hearty co-opera- tion by outside music teachers. Pri vate music teachers and parents say that it has caused an added incentive to music study and practice, a greater degree of excellence at a younger age. Bspecially students cx- pecting to spe ¢ in music later, having received the credit four full years. explain that it made it possible for them to obtain a high school edu- cation while pursuing the study of music during its most important ars, Musical artists say that the ncert halls are filled with more in- telligent listeners, A complete list of especially gifted high school students, who by special permission were cnabled to benefit by a four years' music credit, is not available, but a few local musicians so trained are Elsa Raner, concert violinist; Alden Finckel, cellist, grad- uate Eastman Conservatory of Music, Rochester, N.

HUGO RIESENFELD'S score accompanying the production of Cecil B.

Much intérest should be arpused among music lovers in the Washington premiere of “The Ten Commandments” at the National Theater tomorrow night, not only because of the novelties of the Ries- enfeld score, but also because the music will ‘be performed by an orches- tra of 20 pieces, headed by Frederick Arundel, who had charge of the music for this production at the Woods Theater, Chicago, and the ~Pavilion Theater, London, England.
