The New York Symphony Orchestra is €0 successful in its concerts in New York City that it is gradually lessen- ing the nber of concerts in other clties. Washington is among the few ces which this orchestra still visits. Mr. Damrosch’s brief explana- tory talks are a feature of these eve- ning concerts, and, as all who have attended in the past know, they are peculiarly instructive and charming. They are, in short, what talk about music should be—not merely talk, but a means to fuller and greater en- joyment. . Walter Damrosch has done a service for music in America greater perhaps than any one else living today, and it has been done through a sincere desire to share most widely with others that which is full of beauty and enjoyment to himself. He is one of the leaders in the musical world today who is ever ready to welcome that which looks toward progress and to help the young adventurers who show evidence of talent and are striving to accomplish worthy results. There are few who have so splendid a record of achievement and are so genuinely beloved U. S.

"OHN CHARLES THOMAS, American baritone, who comes to the Na- tional Theater Thursday afternoon for & recital, contends that every audi- ence has a lesson for every serlous concert singer. “I learn something new about hu- man nature,” Mr. Thomas states, “every time I sing. Every audience has something to teach a singer. Some of the men who come to my re- citals come Because they are brought by thelr wives. To please these I must sing a brisk, hearty sort of a song like Walter Damrosch’s ‘Danny Deever.” Others come because their young lady friends like music and need an escort. To these, who are apt to be more interested in the young lady than in the recital, I must offer a love*song, something with senti- ment, a heart song. Other men come because they like singing. These 1 must interest with operatic music which demands skillful vocal treat- ment. They enjoy the tone and the style. Then there is a group who come because they love music. I se- lect my programs only after consider- ing carefully every sort of man and woman who is likely to attend my concerts. Audiences are greatteach- ers.” Mr. Thomas will present the fol- | lowing program Thursday: “Invoca- | zione di Orfeo” (Peri), “Che Fiero Costume” (Legrenzl), “Zueignung” (Stratsx), “O Liebliche Wangen” (Brahms) bbesse” (D’Erlanger), “Nicolette” (Ravel). “Drinking Song” from “Hamlet (Thomas), Come to Me in My Dreams” (Bridge), “Old Skinflint” (Howells), “Take, Oh Take Those Lips Away” (Roger-Quilter), ;Dialogue” (Lord Borners). “Mr. Bel-| loc's Fancy” (Warlock), “The Crying ot Water" (Campbell-Tipton), *Tree: e “The Lablo-and the RACHEMANINOFF Fritz A MueLLER Marine Barracks BrrTA MorENA Polis HE regular meeting of the board of the District. of Columbia Fed- eration of Music Clubs will be held Saturday at 4:30 p.m. at the Homer L.

THE Chicago Civic Opera which is coming to Washingtoft next month to present four operas at the Washington Auditorium, is visual- ized by the general public as an aggregation of world-famous artists supported by a great orchestra and ballet. Few people seem to realize that the affairs of the Chicago Civic Opera are those of a vast industry, with properties valued at several millions of dollars, and given over to the building of everything, from an ink- stand to Egyptian temple columns. When the company is on tour those em- ploves that are not necessary to set- ting the opera in other cities pro- ceed with their work of building new operas for another season, renovating and keeping in repair all the proper- ties that are stored in 40,000 square feet of floor space in the company’s great warehouse in Chicago. Proper- ties of the Chicaga Civic Opera Com- pany are capitalized at $6,000,000. The Chicago Civic Opera originates and paints all its own scenery. It has its own carpenters housed in a great manufactory a few minutes’ drive from the warehouse, where the larger sets are constructed and the tramework of all scener. Company Hobart Henley has revived a bur- lesque show of the 1897 variety for his production of “The Square Peg.” This sequence shows a dozen Gaiety girls in silk tights.

He atoned for his indiscretion, however, in the “Vivac Assai” that completed the quartet, for this was in traditional style, somewhat artificial and inclined to be wearisome.

Having paid its tribute to the old master, the quartet played for its last regular number Waldo Warner's “Pixy-Ring.” Warner, an nglishman, was one of the first com- posers who dared to leave the formu- ar for composition that governed most of the writings of the past. He struck out for himself and went into the fleld of impresslonistic writ- ing. Blessed with a wonderful im- agindtion, he has written in this ring a_series of five movements, “Moon-Beams,” “Toad-Stools,” “Tink- ling Blue-Bells,” “Pixy-Laden” and the “Ring Dance,” that are as dell- cate and fairylike as if they had been the true music of the fairies. sonances that would have been sh had they been played at a forte were as beautiful as the ringing of Chinese love bells. The work is so crratic, the tempos So uneven, the intervals so out of the ordinary that the listener's attention is held firmly throughout. It required no great stretch of the imagination to picture the wild revels of the elfinfolk as they played around in the moonlit glen that was the setting for this fanciful work. The contrast with what had gone before made it all the more striking. (Verdi): overture, “Poet and Peasant” (Suppe); “Menuetto all'antico” (Karga- noff); “Caressing Butterfly” (Bar- thelmy).

SWERANTZI” fs the title of the new operetta written by Bailey F. Alart, director of \the orchestra at the Rialto Theaterlof this city. Mr. Alart will conduct the overture and selections from his operetta as the musical part of the program at the theater this week. This work is based upon the old German legend similar to Tennyson's “Pied Piper of Hamiin,” and the story is laid in a Dutch border village. The music is Viennese in character and the score is said to contain many me- lodious waltzes. It is more in the vein of light opera than of musical comedy. Distinctive motifs for lead- ing characters are woven throughout the work. “Frantzi” was submitted to many New York producers during the perfod of the World War, and Henry Savage was one who said he would gladly have produced it had the locale and characters been of a different nationality. Since then the work has beon practically rewrltten, and negotiations are pending for an early New York production. It will bo presented in Washington this Spring with & cast of Washington favorites.
