Fleeting as the appearance of Maestro Toscanini and the now continentally renowned sym- phony orchestra are to be, it is really something of an event to have them at all, inasmuch as| their out-of-town programs are to be very scarce. Furthermore, since Europe—traditionally cold to the musical efforts of this “new” country—has treated this orchestra with everything short of | the laurel wreath, during its sen- | sational tour this Summer, one may expect the pulse of popular“Symphony Orchestra—is chair- excitement to rise even more than heretofore. And, incidentally, this is the first | time Toscanini has appeared more than once during a season. W ‘The third concert that this famed orchestra from New York is to give, will be under the direc- torial baton of Bernardino Moli- | nari, who will have as soloist | Nikolai Orloff, prominent Rus- sian pianist. The date for this event will be January 27, the other | two concerts coming before and | after. And just to tie up with last| week’s ramblings, it seems that | Toscanini will—after all—be more | or less permanent director of | Bayreuth activities, according to Walter Damrosch, who seems to know about such things. * % % X ‘While fiddlers and fiddles, pian- ists and pianos are all trouping back to town, fresh from favorite recreation haunts, and music| shinglies are going up and shut- ters coming down, a few favored ‘Washingtonians are coming back from a place that is better known on the West Coast than here. The Bohemian Grove, 70 or so %l:: to the north of San Fran- , must be the most idyllic spot imaginable for musically minded people, if the reports that have drifted into town are true. | Here, in this wild, untutored | grove—really a series of groves— cut into the midst of giant red- forests, more than a thou- sand members (it started with 30 some years ago) now spend what m be said to be a unique vaca- Both the arts and sciences are represented among these mem- bers; musicians, bankers, railroad magnates, pln{wrlghtx, publishers, Jjournalists, all are to be found during the Summer at this haunt. But “nary” a lady. The organiza- tion was formed with the pur- pose of fleeing domesticity—and possibly—feminine foibles. At any rate, scattered among the| rambling California hills, perhaps as near to the clouds as a modern | Valhalla could be, the Bohemian | Grove swallows up into its ample folds all who are anxious to “get away from everything” in the tepid city. t is said that no formalities of eny kind are in order here. A group of two dozen or more per- sons have tents around a redwood clearing. In the center is a plat- form, and on a platform the best piano that money can buy. This piano remains there during the| Summer, rain, literally, never so| much as scarring it with a drop. And here is the wonder of the place: It seems that almost any morning of the season one may fall out of one’s tent to find Rach- | maninoff or Hoffman informally | playing ante-breakfast music. Further along, in another grove, Lawrence Tibbett may be singing away to his heart’s content, and | further on yet a celebrated com- | poser may be strumming a little of | his latest opera or symphony. No formal audiences, no regu- | lated applause, no scraping of | chairs greet these performances. | They are expected and as gener- ally anticipated as the 8:15 train into town. The artists are there to enjoy themselves. If they hap- n to want to give vent to in- ormal outbursts of their art they are free to do so—every technical facility eing at hand. It isall a matter, so it is said, of “do as you will.” The bankers may trot hand | in hand through the forests and the railroad presidents may go swimming. Or, over the eternal! fire that a vigilant Italian chef | watches, day and night, a band of | philosophers may argue the words | of their profession. It seems to be,- however, the musical atmosphere that every- body or anybody may fall into that brands this spot as unique. The idea of waking up to the strains of some world-famed com- position, played flawlessly by a maestro, who has probably only himself to satisfy, is something certainly to make one's eyes open wide with astonishment. again, at informal gatherings it is said that the number of stereo- typed executives who suddenly ourst forth with musical accom- And, | is a project under way which | should come to the attention of |every youthful and ambitious | singer in the District. This is, of | course, the Atwater Kent Radio audition, for which applications | are being received. | Dr. Albert W. Harned—who, it will be remembered, has been sig- nally honored as director of the National Capital Oratorio Asso- ciation, which has been chosen by Koussevitzky to supply the choral part of the Beethoven Ninth Sym- phony when it is produced here next December by the Boston man of the District of Columbia Sponsorship Committee, in charge of the Atwater Kent competition. He has announced that tomorrow will be the last day for applica- tions. These auditions—and the com- petition for this prize—offer something not only of pecuniary value to the individual, but pro- vide a plan that should glean from the entire country the best that can be had in music talent. Wash- ington already having been among the winners, is. said by Dr. Harned to be especially for- tunate in the interest aroused in the audition this year. This is most gratifying, because Mr. Kent and his associates have music fundamentally at heart and the promotion of it in a way that reaches more nearly every class of the great public than any other means. The focussing of atten- tion on some new singer, and the developmeiit of his further musi- cal education in a manner that should befit a good, if not great voice—if such be found—is of in- calculable benefit to the world of music. There are far too many ambitious and courageous young musicians who are struggling for the sake of their art, with only the minimum of opportunity for advancement. When one of them is tapped by the golden wand and sent bustling off to a musically propitious sphere, it is time to do publicly as well. QOne can only hope that the yfiuyng m:ent nmdd vz]omeil of this city are not modestly clinging to the hearth if they havlgswnighln them the faintest spark of vocal ability. Led on by the enthusi- astic appeal of Dr. Harned, great things may be expected—and, perhaps, like two years ago, a Washington voice again may be heard echoing around the world. Ghiambsi™usia Cous sic Composers In Pn;e Compentmn THE Society for the Publication of American Music has announced its 1930-31 competition for publication of new chamber music works by Ameri- ¢an composers.

THE SUN Returns After 46 Years To Lead Two Concerts ON‘E of the most important items of interest to the music world during the past week is the announcement that Sir George Henschel will return to the United States after an absence of 46 years. the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which he led from 1881 to 1884. His visit to this country will be something of an event, since he is coming over for the purpose of lead the orchestra which he first helped to incorporate. The first of this season’s concerts by the Boston Symphony, to be held October 11 and 12, will thus see Sir George again at thée helm.K . rge Kouscevitzsky, beginning his seventh season with the orchestra, will take charge the following week. Service Band Date THE U. 8. NAVY BAND. THE overture to Smetana’s opera “The Bartered Bride,” will open the pro- gram by the Navy Band at the Capitol tomorrow night. This will be the final appearance of Lieut. Benter and his musicians at the Capitol this season. Tuesday night the band will play at Anacostia Park, presenting a program which includes Verdi's “Sicilian Vi pers,” the ballet suite from *“Coppelia” by Delibes and excerpts from Victor Herbert's “The Only Girl.” Notable numbers to be presented at the Navy Yard Wednesday night are the fourth movement from Rimsky- Korsakow's suite “Scheherazade, “Dance of the Hours” from Ponchi- elli's “La Gioconda” and the overture to Wagner's “Flying Dutchman.” Other conoerts by the Navy Band this week are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3 o'clock at the Navy Yard. THE SOLDIERS’ HOME BAND. The United States Soldiers’ Home Military Band, under the leadership of John 8. M. Zimmerman and Anton Pointner. assistant, will give two con- certs this week. These will take place Thursday and Saturday afternoons at 5:30 o'clock in the bandstand. The programs for these are published the day of the concerts in The Star. Friends of Music Society To Present “Festival Mass AN interesting news item from New York brings word that 190 appli- cants for places in the chorus of the Society of the Friends of Music were recently heard in five hours, which brought that well known chorus up to full strength—160 voices, the increased number set for the coming season of coneerts at the Metropolitan Opera House. Rehearsals are said to be proceeding in preparation for the opening concert of the “ear, Sunday, October 26, which will bring {o America a first perform ance of Janacek's ‘‘Festlval Mass,” der the baton of Artur Bodanzky, con- ductr of the society. Th~ audition just held, according to ‘Waltcr Wohllebe, chorus master of the brought out remarkably good voices and musicians. “I have noticed in my two years in this country,” he added, “a growing appreciation on the part of young singers of the value of the training which they can receive in a good chorus.

C., SEPTEMBER 14, ANNOUNCED FOR CONCERTS THIS SEAS ARTURO TOSCANINL TOGRAPHICALLY speaking, there is nothing about the man whose musi- cal wizardry is at present being heralded throughout the world that isn't known. ‘Toscanini, like the famous prima donnas of yore, is being tracked every-| where by persistent Boswellites, who hang on his every word and record every move and gesture. His relaxation —privacy being deprived the great—is said to be confined to such indoor tonics as poetry and philosophy, although pic- tured frequently in the front seat of his automobile it would seem as though ' he enjoyed especially driving around the country. Since Toscanini is breaking a tradi- tion that should have been broken years ago—by appearing in Washington twice instead of once this year—this seems a proper time to review what has gone before, or rather what has happened to him since, on March 25, in Parma, Italy, he first rubbed daylight into his eyes. At the age of 18 young Toscanini other people and with an orchestra, study of the great choral masterpieces— these are things, I have been saying for many years, which should be part of every singer's experience. And so for nearly 200 people to overflow our rehearsal hall, seeking to fill the few vacancies in our chorus, is gratifying f that the value of this experience recognized.” leold_’;[orrin- to Play With Boston Symphony A YOUNG American composer, Har- old Morris, whom Was were introduced to last season at the “Salon Sutro,” seems to have been gaining considrable musical prestige. Announcement is made that he is to perform his piano concerto with the Boston Symphony, under Koussevitaky in Boston, during the coming Winter. Word furthermore comes to the effect that Mr. Morris is to have this same honor at Rochester, where he will per- form under the idance of Howard Hanson. Incidentally many of Mr. Mor- ris’ works were played at the Liege fes- tival in Belgium this Summer, Steel Pier Op.erl Co_ Closes Season Tonid}n THE Atlantic City Summer season of 15 Sunday evening performances of opera in English by the Steel Pier Grand Opera Co. and 15 Sunday after- noon operatic concerts, under the di- rection of Jules Falk, closes tonight. American Music selects two or three works from the entries and pays for their publication. Notice of the awards and copies of the new publications are sent to each member of the society, and in this way the new compositions are brought to the attention of music lov- ers throughout the country. During the 11 years since its found- ing in 1919 the society has published 23 chamber music works and five or- chestral works. The society is limiting its efforts this year to chamber music compositions; songs and solo pleces with plano ac- companiment. Works for piano alone and orchestral compositions are not in- cluded in the scope of the society’s activities. The terms of the competition are: Compositions should be the work of American citizens or by composers who have applied for citizenship; manu- scripts should not bear the composer’s name, but should be marked with a pseudonym. The composer’s name and address and postage for the return of the manuscript should be inclosed in a sealed envelope, marked on the outside with the pseudonym, and manuscripts should be sent to the secretary, Oscar Wagner, at 49 East Fifty-second street, New York City, before October 18, 1930. Dr. Edwin Barnes to Head VOICC Dept. Of NE\V Schflol R. EDWIN N. C. BARNES, for the past eight years director of music in the District of Columbia Public Schools, has become associated with the Washington Musical Institute and will head the volce department of the new school. A Canadian by birth, Dr. Barnes spent much of his early life in New Eng- land, becoming well known as & recital- ist in Boston, where he taught voice for 12 years. He served as director of music for Massachusetts from 1906 to 1914, and of Rhode Island from 1914 to 1922, when he came to this city. In 1919 he was song leader with the War Camp Community Service at Newport and conducted the first State-wide chorus of children in Rhode Island.

Mr. Cromwell, who directs the choir at Calvary Church, Georgetown, has been acting as senlor soloist at the First Presbyterian Church of New Brunswick during his stay there. Word comes from Skyland, Va., that during the Summer months Elizabeth Gardner Coombs has been presenting a series of piano after-dinner concerts three times a week that have met with much success. Miss Coombs has been assisted in her half-hour evening pro- gram by Norman S. White, baritone. Ruby Smith Stahl has returned to this city after three months’ travel and study in Europe. Miss Stahl studied in London with Clara Novello Davies and afterward attended the Salzburg graduated from the Conservatory of Parma, having sheepskins under his arm both for his cello playing and for composition. He seems to have wan- dered from his native land during the following year, for in his nineteenth year occurred that now historical event in South America which probably every admirer of Toscanini has heard of at cne time or another. Still, yarns with the Cinderella touch to them never really grow old, so it isn't out of place | to mention what actually brought the young musician into the spotlight. At that time Toscanini was a mem- ber of the orchestra at the opera house in Rio de Janeiro. It was a gala night, and the rich and the haughty were anticipating a splendid production of “Aida.” Just before the first curtain, however, the management of the house, expressing fears as to the competency of the conductor—suddenly on & burst of temperament—found himself con- ductorless. The man, anticipating the displeasure of the audience, had fled. Speechless, with an audience gathered, the lights dimming, the orchestra pre- paring themselves for their task, the manager suddenly bethought himself of | young Toscanini, whom he had heard | express the fact that he knew the score |of_“Alda.” Modestly having retreated more or less into a corner at the news that he was to conduct the opera that night, the dazed youth was dragged to the chair only by considerable force, the | management shrieking words of encour- | agement at him. Once there, a legend has it that Toscanini immediately threw off his frightened, expression, took, o | to speak, the musfcal bull by the horns, removed the score from the stand in | front of him—and sat on it. ther all this is true, the fact is | that at the age of 19 Toscanini di- rected “Aida” from memory. From that moment he became a con- | ductor, whose fame constantly grew. He | was artistic director of La Scala in 1930—PART FOUR.

This season Sousa, at the age of 76, has arranged five new compositions for his current tour, It is presumed that some, if not all, will:be played here in November.
