By Helen Fetter. REAL Christmas treat, musically and otherwise, should be the appearance here tomorrow afternoon of Ignace Jan Pederewski, the one professional musician who will give a recital in Washing- ton during the holiday scason. Next week Bess Schreiner is go- ing to present an unusual Christmas program called “The Other Wise Man.” We are not yet let in on the secret of precisely who Miss Schrei- ner’s Wise Man really is. It is our opinion, however, that “The Other Wise Man” would he an excellent title for Mr. Paderewski. He is a wise man whom Washington welcomes with generous greeting: It seems that it was “upon the direct request of President Coolidge to benefit o charity designated by the Chief Executive,” that M. Paderewski will give this, his first concert in Washington for 10 years. The proceeds will go to the American Legion National Endowment Fund, for disabled World War veterans and orphans of veterans. What other object could e been more fitting at Christmastide? This concert wiil be the third in a series of four planned to raise 000 for this wort cause. At the first, given in New York Decem- $9.500, the New York Times reported : “M.

The Baltimore amateurs have evi ently made themseclves ac- quainted with the manners of those days when Alexander Pope and John Gay collaborated on several lively satircs, and they wear the costumes and turn their words to good effect. In a little theater, converted from a stable on the steep hiil that lics just around the corner from Peabody Conserv ry of Music, this group presents the opera most attractively.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 19.—The man who jumps out of an aecoplane never knows until he feels thut un- mistakable pull at his shoulders whether his parachute is going to open. Just so, the imaginative genius who composes a score for symphony orchestra does not know how it sounds until he hears it played. The analogy here may not be pre- cise, but is intended to establish the point that the jumper and the com- poser suffer from nervous suspense until that time of certainty arrives, Several persons in New York lately put their heads together and diag- nosed the appurent anemlc uilment of mericun music.

The corrective measures for the ill, they concluded, were to remove that too prolonged period of suspense and &£ive & hearing to symphonic composi- tions in their infancy, or in their incubacy. They laid their plans and took them to the State Symphony Society, which decided that for the advancement of American ot and artists it would have its orchestra play scores of youthful composers who would have the opportunity to listen and recefve criticism. The soclety decided to do more than this. It adopted w threefold program, resolving, first, to interest itself espe- clally in unusual mu: second, to foster and encourage young and promising American musicians and to develop an American conductor, and third, to carry its performances of £ood music to the masses. In accordance with the first part of this plan the orchestra obtained the | services of Ernst von Dohnanyl, Hun. garian in birth and education, whose forte is popular rendition of unusual masterpieces.

GREAT POLISH STATESMAN-PIANIST-COMPOSER JAZZ IS INDURSED BY MAX REINHARDT Famous German Says Music Reflects Spirit of the Times. Correspoudence of the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 25.—America, through Its jazz, its rhythm, and its modern dance, has found the proper expression for the spirit of modern times better than any other in the opinion of Max Reinhardt.

Hits Modern Hamlet. Hamlet in full evening dress and Shylock in bathing tights constitute 50 much nonsense, said Reinhardt. “America is on the threshold to a tremendous theatrical future,” Rein- hardt observed. “There is a yearning, @ craving among American theater. goers for the best in art such as is equaled In but few countries. “This yearning, coupled with your American temperament—pep,’ 10 use a slang expression—and with the ca pacity of vour people to absorb new ideas, predestines America for a lead- Ing position in theatrical art.” Elaborating his ldeas concerning juzz, Reinhardt explained “The American feeling for rhythm, as exemplified in jazz, gives better expression to the spirit of our time Jazz is literally crylng for some one to do for it w for instance, Johann Strauss did for the + ve it con- crete expression In a manner that will endure through generations. KFor Some Modern Settings. It i going too far, according to Reinhardt, to produce Hamlet in eve- g dress suit, or to lay the scene of the “Merchant of Venice” in the fashionable Lido off Venice, with Shy lock in bathing togs. us suggested by one theater producer. At the same time he is not opposed to the idea of Riving a modern setting to old dramas in which the time eiement is unim portant “Remember that the Shakesperean plays themselves were offered in Eliza bethan costumes when f pro duced,” he said, “although the scenes were often laid centuries earlier. “In the course of my work us reg- feseur I have often observed that actors made stronger impression during rehear: when they were dressed in their street clothing. than did afterward during the per- formance, when they wore historical costumes 1 therefore costumes are plays.
