By Helen Fetter. HE Commissioners of the District of Columbia have sounded the trumpet call, and Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, to the board- room of the District Building, will go 200 representative citizens of this community to battle with the problems that will make a highly successiul Spring Festival of Music for Washington next May. As yet no details are announced as to the chairman of the vast commit- tee, who will, in turn, appoint subcommittees, even unto the tenth and | twelfth degree, if necessary, to supervise every phase of the plans and develop them logically and thoroughly. Tt is the idca of Commissioner Rudolph and his cohorts to have an international figure as the chairman of the chief committee if possible, an individnual who is representative of the greatest interests in Ameri- can musical, political and social life, thus welding into one irresistible force distinctive qualities of the American people. Every line of this musical picture which is to illustrate the true worth of Washington as a center of music progress, is drawn on Gargan- tuan proportions—oi a size surpassing anything ever attempted here before and planned to override and eliminate all possibilities for personal pettiness or the narrowness of any particular clique. When the musical director is chosen he, too, will be an international figure, yet one who stands primarily as a pioneer in American musical development. The hearty co-operation of all citizens of Washington interested in music is not only asked, but expected. It is significant of the approval and desire for harmonious sharing on the part of leaders in local music that already, before definite plans can be stated. several hundred have expressed, either personally or through the speaker of their organizations, a willingness to do anything whatsocver that may be asked oi them to make the festival a tremendous success ) Washington has proved a championship town in sport, in_convention hospitalities, in international conferences—now, let’s “Say it with music. PR g 1 T}L\T the festival idea for musical programs in the United States is so well founded that nothing can completely annihilate it, but that it will spring to fresh life in the face of heavy obstacles, was proved recently at the newest of the Worcester festivals. Albert Stoessel, the new con- ductor, achieved a real feat when he lifted an organization from ruts into which it had fallen and made the festival alive again. He put works by Moussorgsky and Gustav Holst on the same programs with Beethoven's “Ninth Symphony” and the Schiller “Hymn to Joy.” * ok K % A N amusing challenge to the prospective program of the Spring festival in Washington is contained in a lengthy “poem” published in Philip Hale’s column in the Boston Herald in a recent issue. The verses are much too long.and local in their appeal to be given here, including as they do the list of the mulitiple foreign bands and composers who helped make that occasion a resounding success. A general idea of the work commemorating the greatest festival cffort ever held in the United States to date, and under the direction of Patrick Gilmore, is contained in the first verse, which states: “At Gilmore's great peace jubilee in eighteen-seventy-two, The greatest musical event this country ever knew, A coliseum sprang to life on Boston's new Back Bay, Where music in her majesty held undisputed sway. Great_artists were assembled there, both those of naYive birth And famous foreigners whose names were known throughout the earth. With choristers recruited from a hundred towns around, And mastodonic organ to accentuate the sound. The last verse tells of the “horde of ghostly visitants their voices till attune” that returns every year on the 17th oi June and gives the irilliant performances again It is to be hoped that the coming Spring festival here will raise no nightmares. * % k% ER in England the festival spirit is also marching on, and recently the famous Three Choirs Festival, which has been in existence since 1715—half a century before our country was a republic separate from the British empire—celebrated its annual festival at Gloucester, gland. There were seven days of festivalities, two of which were for rehearsal purposes and five for-actual performances. The programs were given in the marvelous eleventh century Norman nave of Gloucester's wonder- ful cathedral, which, is reported, resounded during the festival with such musical strains as its builders never dreamed of. * %k ok NOTHER bit of musical news that comes from the British Isles is a reflecting echo of the statement made in Washington that instruc- v i The Manchester Guardian, that autocrat of Eng- lish journals, that shares the deanship of Fleet street deities with her tea- table sister, the London Times, ventures to take the ‘mandate of the law in this regard quite facetiously. The writer of the Guardian's editorial on this subject takes as his text the phrase in the Washington police’s statement, “that tom-tommy sort of Oriental music that makes men forget their homes and babies,” and remarks: X Alas; so very much depends on the man, the home, and, perhaps, cven the babies. The listener’s standards vary with his generation. Some found Wagner ‘improper,’ but few writers are wrung today by that {car. Today there are those who incline to the opinion that some of the languorous, wistful strains of Debussy or Ravel are reaching out into vistas which an active, God-fearing Rotarian would do well to leave un- explored. and vet it may be suspected that if those strains were played to the Washington police, so far from being provoked and seduced, they would be undeniably bored.” Of course, if one cared to take this glib writer seriously, it would be casy to remind him of the British "Limehouse Blues” and other melodies, including quaint works by Noel Coward, recently imported here from Tondon, that have all the ear persuasiveness of “tom-tommy music,” and that, with their success in America, make it possible for certain English- men to have homes well worth remembering. But why dwell on the mat- ter at all? EREE T would seem as though the premier danseuses of Europe found a bogyman in America that scared them off for the present, at least. Both Anna Pavlowa, than whom no artist has ever received a warmer welcome or more gladly postponed “farewells,” and Thamar Karsavina, another Russian ballet dancer of undoubted ability and charm, have canceled complete American tours, which included local appearances, for the season. Pavlowa, it seems, preferred remaining in a Continental atmosphere, with possibly an extended sojourn in the Orient. Karsavina gave no reason at al At any rate, that remarkable American-grown ballet group, the Pavley-Oukrainsky company. that has done so much to give color and artistic charm to operatic productions of high quality, will not disappoint Washington, but will give a performance at the National Theater Thur: day afternoon. Especially commendable is the fact that so many Amer can girls are given thorough training with the ballet. The group goes shortly to Paris, France, for a lengthy engagement, following a few more American appearances. ¥4 * ok ok *x HE radio is a great institution, with new possibilities being constantly discovered and made use of. Tt is as a magic carpet that transports every sound, ugly and beautiful, directly into the doorway of millions of ears. Tts very invisibility gives added keenness to the aurical perception. . There is a much-harassed gentleman in Washington who is manag- ing a series of rare musical programs to be presented shortly in a new and exquisite little auditorium here. The very nature of the compositions to be given on five programs requires a limited' space ‘for perfect per- formance, hence the eager throng that is storming at the gates can only be admitted to the number of 500 strong. But there are thousands, not only in Washington but all over the United States, who would enjoy the delicate music produced by these few prime artists. So at last the genii of the radio took pity on the heavily burdened gentleman, and in the casy manner of a Solomon of old soived a perplexing riddle. . The Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Festival of Music programs, to be given October 28, 29 and 30, in the new auditorium at the Library of Congress, will be broadcast, so that all who seek true music may hear and enjoy. byl * k k% ASHINGTON has scveral favorite American singers. Quite near the top of the list is Reinald Werrenrath, who comes tomorrow night to the largest auditorium in the city. Mr. Werrenrath has won a special name for himsclf with his industrious ferreting out of unusual songs of various nationalities and his artistic presentation of them. It is pleasant to remember the group of quaintly intriguine Scandinavian songs which he gave in a program last year at Central High School. * ok ok % ASHINGTON music lovers will have an opportunity to hear the musi- cal story of the “Blossom Time” of another composer very shortly, when the beautiful “Love Song,” with its dazzling spectacular scenes of court life and its bie chorus, portrays the romantic love tale of Jacques Offenbach. As in “Blossom Time,” the composer’s best loved works are woven as the fundamental mesh in the pattern of beautiful music. No one who saw this, one of the rare “musical” shows, in New York last Winter can forget its charm and beauty. Very few citics. only five in number, will see this remarkable produc- tion, which is a real treat for the musical. Human Chimes to Come Here AN the human voice chimes? “Yes,” savs John Finley Willlam- con, conductor of the Westminster Cholr of Dayton, Ohlo, which will ive a concert in this city November 4 (18, and he has started to prove it. He has taken his 60 singers in the mixed choir and put them through tests to determine which notes each will sing, or rather which chimes each will imitate. Then began imitate | the rather stupendous task of “strik- ing” the chimes. This he accom- plished through endless experiments —cutting the vowels, prolonging tonzl consonants and combining both effects with careful shading. The experiment evolved out of a New Year's anthem. The effect of human voices singing these chords sives the beautiful harmony of bells Discussing his results, Mr. William- son said: “Of course, its success de- pends upon eagh individual being THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, OCTOBER 18, 1925—PART 3. Reinald Werrenrath Sings Here Tomorrow EINALD WERRENRATH, popu- lar American baritone, returns to Washington in recital tomorrow night, when he will give the inaugural con: cert of the Peggy Albion series at the Auditorium.

Vipivoce Club Meets For First Programs HE Vipivoce Music Study Club opened the season with a meeting at the Frances Gutelius Studio re- cently, with 25 members present. The following took the pledge of the National Federation and were enrolled as new member: Virginia Berry, Sel- don Kennedy, Jean Marion Hammer- lund, Herbert Britten, Jane Cooper, Sadie Raffel and Marie Hudson. After the singing of Plerson's “Washington,’ the club was enter- tained with a violin solo by Gladys Cowsill .and a cornet solo, “Largo,” from the “New World Symphony” (Dvorak), by Russell Willhide. Lee Balley gave a Spanish dance, in cos. tume, and Thelma Callahan played her own “Toy Symphony,” in four move- ments, which she composed with the assistance of Miss Gutelius the past Summer. Miss Gutelius read a story “Our Feathered Orchestra,” from the magazine Music and Youth. The second meeting was held at Wallace Memorial United Presbyte- rian Church October 10, with an at- fendance of 30 members. At that meeting rehearsals of Haydn's “Toy Symphony” and of Thelma Callahan's “Toy Symphony” were begun. Mrs. Kennedy lent the paper tom-tom which =he had brought from Halti. a able to sing the correct note without the aid of a pitch pipe or piano. My choir Lias always done that. “The idea came to me one New Year eve when I listened to the chimes in old Trinity Church. I de- cided then that it could be done with the human voice, hut I decided to try it first before 1 said anything Needless to say, we must further per- tect our rendition of ‘chime work' before we can even think of present- Ing it to an audience. This I hope to do before the choir stars on fts eastern tour to New York, Phila- delphia, Brooklyn, Boston, Washing- ton and other cities.” baritone | the bhallet con | of | appearance in W local management of T.

Senor Nicastro ‘was born of Ttalian OSCAR NICASTRO. parents {h 1894, and his father took him to Italy in 1903, where, after one year's study, at the age of 11, he gave his first recital, and the,Italian new: papers wrote of him as “the child Mozart of the cello.” He gave many more recitals and then went to Ger- many to study at the Royal Conserva- tory of Music, entering two years be- fore the prescribed age of 14. For elght years he studied with the noted cello master, Hugo Becker, and he be- came the assistant and later first cello instructor in the Royal Conserva- tory. He gave several concerts in Ger- many, recelving the approval of Max 3ruch, Humperdinck and Marteau. In 1914 he returned to South America and toured for several years. He was in Mexico two years. Praxedes Reina Rubia, famous Mexican planist and music’ critic, paid Senor Nicastro a high compliment when he said that he played Sarasate's. “El Zapateado,” with the characteristic interpretation of that master’s work as only Sarasate himself had given it when playing_ the work on the violin.

The Chinese folk music grew out of the street cries of peddlers of turnips, Ashoe menders, pottery sellers, etc., and is filled with the soft, minor school of Chine Musical worship at complete to Western ears. There are also, even today, wandering bards, as there used to be in England in the days of Richard the Lion-hearted, who siug long warrior epics and de- lighttul legends. These bards are really musical story-tellers, who go from house to house, for they have not learned yet to tell their hedtime storis to thousands at one time by radto. An especially beautiful and common legend used by these story-tellers is called “The Rainbow \Cloak and the Peacock Feather.” Tt tells of a vision which the mother of Yang- Quef Fei (the most beautiful woman in the Han dynasty) had just before the birth of her beautiful daugh- ter. The mother dreamed she saw a brilliant comet in the sky with a peacock’s feather in its tail. This was against one of those iridescent Orienta) skies with green predominat- ing, so it is alluded to as a “rainbow cloak” for the peacock feather. Yang-Quei-Fel was the daughter of a high offictal in the Chinese court life of that time. Also, as Mr. Boyd-Car- penter remarked, beautiful women are not plentiful in China, but when a Chinese girl is beautiful no other type can surpass her in beauty.

Mr. Robbins bhecame inter- ested in the boy's playving and made a mumber of opportunities for him to play at exclusive club entertainments. Th young pianist proved a marked success on these occasfons and won more wirels with his act on the Keith programs. Yet he has kept his head, continued sound fundamental stud: and_the indications are that young Mr. Ratner will soon reach the point where musical managers will urge him to assume an Italianized or Russianized version of Ratner and li_sl him among their concert attrac- tions.

Errol tallied up the men working | behind the camera in his tailor shop scenes and counted a director, an as- sistant director, a camera man, a make-up expert and five electricians— a total of nine. “Clothes Make the Pirate” is being produced under the supervision of Marion Fairfax, who adapted the story from Holman Day’'s novel.
