5 BY HELEN FETTER, S each month hag rolled by within the past three years, it has become increasingly _evident that Washington really is laying a/more solid founda- tion toward itg ntually becoming a vital musig tenter of the country, Just as it 1s the political center, the :onvclg‘!bn center and, in spite of New York’s “400," may be ‘safely called the social center of the United tes of America. Y 5 he progress steadily toward more: complete and specific musical train- ing for children in the public schools is one of the most encouraging signs. Also, as stated more in detail else- where on this page, the junior clubs which are affiliated with the District Federation of Music Clubs are plan- ning their second annual concert after a fashion that shows originality and care in preparations. Every so often a®local musician comes out in a program that shows not only the results of concentrated, logical work, but also marked talent. The day of the singer who is popular because he or she is asked to sing “At Dawning” at a wedding or “Lead, Kindly Light” at a funeral, as a sign of musical ability is definitely pass- ing. The local amateur programs show more ambitious works. The radio has done not a little to help this state of affairs. Also the cham- ber music type of program is return- ing to popularity and, following thé White House precedent, many gatiety folk who also have real njysféal taste are re-establishing the after-dinner musical as an ireréasingly popular form of evenin i s lg entertainment. Such musicals Lave an intimate air that is Impossible to secure from a concert stage. They demand much from the Zerformer in the way of personality as well as musical ability. * * ¥ X ASHINGTON has never had a finer incentive toward musical re-eminence than the establishment ere of the little chamber music auditorium in the Library of Con- gress. Only a year ago last Fall was this auditorium formally opened. Since that time many programs, each of them unique in its class and with definite meaning to its construction, and numerous performers, have been presented to the public of Washing- ton. Origina E when these Elizabeth Sprague olidge Foundation con- certs were established, a list was made of local musicians and names were added to the list from time to time at the request of other musicians or music lovers who wished to be notified of coming events at the little auditorium. In a short time, however, the length of the list grew so alarmingly that it became unwieldy and impracti- cable. Carl Engel, chief of the music division, and Herbert Put- nam, Librarian of Congress, put their well poised heads together and discovered an even more dem- ocratic method to reach surely all those who sincerely cared to hear the programs. Instead of using the list they mereiy put notices in. the newspapers, notifying the public at large that these concerts were to be given on such dates and cards of admission could be secured free of charge beginning a certain day men- tioned, usually about a_week in ad- vance of the concert. No cards were reserved and no telephone reserva- tions were taken or cards mailed except to musicians who lived out- side of Washington and wrote in asking that they might hear certain programs. Due to this change there was not a little misunderstanding in local music circles. Many of those who are most frequent in asking for space for free mention of their own per- formances do fiot seem to read the newspapers at all thoroughly, and there were those whose names had been on the original “list” who de- veloped entirely unnecessary and un- called-for chips on their shoulders, feeling they were slighted when they found no notice sent them personal- ly regarding the concerts to be given. Hoping that they may read this column 2r least this once. the fol- lowing statement as issued by the S Coolidge Foundation,” the to persons whose names are on its mailing list. Announcements of com- ing doncerts will be found in the music columns of the Washington papers, generally in the Sunday is- sues, and occasionally among the paid advertisements, once or oftener, in advance of each concert. The papers will announce the day begin- ning with which the free cards of admission, in each case, may be called for at the music division, be- tween the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 pm. W these musical HE national aspect of Library of Congress events is indeed inspiring. Washington to have within its local grasp so fine and broad a project is a wonderful thing. Although many foreign artists of marked ability, prominent among them being the English Singers, who gave their first concert in this country on one of the programs of the opening Coolidge Festival of 1925, are pre- sented in this little auditorium, a glance over the file of programs collected to date shows many op- portunities given American per- formers and composers. Within the coming eight days there are three programs to be pre- sented under the auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Founda- tion. Tomorrow Harold Bauer will play a program of rare old clavier music, the detailed program given elsewhere on this page. Next Sun- day afternoon, by the courtesy of Mrs. Edward W. Bok, the Curt String Quartet of Philadelphia wil give a recital at 4:30 o'clock. The members are: Carl Flesch, first violin; Emanuel Zetlin, second violin; Louis Bailly, viola, and Felix Sal- mond, violoncello. They will play | Ludwig von Beethoven's “String| Quartet in E Flat.” opus 127, and | Antonin Dvorak’s “String Quartet in F.” opus 96. Two days later. Tues- day evening, February 1, a program | of orchestra music of the eighteenth century will be played by George: Barrere and his “Little Symphon: They will play works by Hay (Symphony No. 81 in G major—"“The Hen"). Francois Couperin (“Concert Royal”). Luigi Boccherini (“Concerto in D Major, for Flute and Strings”), Gluck (Dances from “Iphigenie en Aulide”), Rameau ("Les Fetes de I'Hymen et de I'Amour”). The fascinating historical and edu- ~ational values of such programs in addition to their intrinsic musical beauties makes these Library musical events unique in American music music | division no longer makes it a regular | practice to send out special notices | For | | at |at that time conducted the first | Washington.

Certainly Washington | music lovers and musicians would | do well to look at the wide possi bilities of this fine work and appre- | ciate these aspects of the situation completely. | TO.\IORRO\\' night Delibes, most | noted for his delightful ballet | music. will be represented by a production here of his opera “Lakme” the Washington Opera * Co.| This opera, which has a Hindoo version of a story not unlike that of Puccini's “Madame Butterfl i noted especially for its beautiful | “Bell Song"—a coloratura war- horse—and the charm of his ballet music. This will not be the first time this opera will be given in Wash- ington. Many who have been long established in local music circles recall distinctly previous perform- ances. Miss Amy Leavitt sends a note to the effect: “My libretto shows that ‘Lakme’ was given here in March, 1910, and also in 1911. The penciled notes are few, but show that Lakme was sung by Mme. Rolland and Mallika by Stuckmans. Nilakantha was Huberty, a bass. and Hadji was sung by Geoffrey. It may have been the Chicago people and then again it may not.” Anothér local musician gives the opinion that it was the French opera company that put on these per- formances on a visit to Washington. More definite records do not seem available at quick wneed. but at any rate. this is not Washington's first A music division is printed: | For the public concerts given at | the Library of Congress under the | provisions of the *Elizabeth Sprague | EVENTS OF THE WEEK TONIGHT.

Last summer the “Buggy Ride,” a dance that is the rage at the present time, came Mto existence. One boy, possibly without knowing it, brought out a new dance. This boy began swaying back and forth as he danced Just in fun, others intently. By the time watched him | the dance came to an end every one in the dance hall was dancing the “Buggy Rid The song called “Thanks for the Buggy Ride” had just been released, and it was with this he had danced, and so from that came the name “Buggy Ride.” The new dances that are at present being taught at studios are: ‘“Varsity Waltz,” *St. Louis Hop” and the “Princeton Tottle.” ~ The “Varsity Waltz” is made up of quick running steps mingled with a few balance steps. This dance is mostly used at the colleges throughout the country although it is different than the “Co legiate Waltz." The “St. Louis Hop” is popular in Chicago and other cities in the West. It is different from the “hop’” that is familiar in local dance halls, being danced more with the stiff-legged ef- fect. The “Princeton Tottle” is popular among the Southern colleges. “Dot” Meyers' Melody Four, local Jazz aggregation, will play at the weekly dances to be given under the auspices of the Octavian Social Club.
