B.S. TRAINS OWN CONDUCTORS NOW Pim Lots, Theaters and Radio Produoe Better Lead- ers to Fill Needs. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 1.—America Bas & brand-new training school for &ymphony conductors to fill a need ‘that has become urgent, believes Arthur | Judson. It is three-fold—movie produc- stlon work; the modern movie house ‘with its elaborate musical background, | § 2nd the radio. v Judson has been for many years manager of the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestras d Tects the careers in America of most | of the symphony conductors. | “We have been importing conductors from Europe, and particularly from Germany,” he says. ‘“Sometimes they make good, but oftener they fall, and some of the failures go back to tell the homefolk what a nest of barbarity this is over here. “This is the situation abroad—for example, in Germany, which is the cradle of symphonic music, there are, perhaps, 80 cities in Germany with rmanent operas. The orchestra of r opera plays, in all but the largest citles, not more than 12 symphony concerts & year, usually less. Training Too Limited. . “That means that if the conductor Xnows the nine Becthoven and four ‘Brahms symphonies, plus a few other items of the standard repertoire, he can go two years without repeating himself. And this tiny segment of the symphonic repertoire is all many of them know. Now: “Say we want a conductor for an American orchestra. We import Herr So-and-So from _ Something-on-the Rhine. Here he plays more concerts in two weeks than he plays in two ears at home. z “By the end of the third week he is played out and his audience is sound asleep. He can’t keep up. He goes home, unless he is an exceptional man, in which case he tries to think up nov- elties to please an audience about whose likes he fundamentally knows very little. “Obviously we need young conductors trained to our ways. Abroad a man begins in one of Germany’s 80 operas, by training the chorus. Some day his superior is ill, and the young man con- ducts an opera. Some day he becomes assistant conductor—and is one of 240 or so men trained for service in Ger- many. Master Many Works. “But we can't aflorg to tr‘:‘l:]hn young man from the ground up an ex- pensive organization like the Philadel- phia Orchestra. They must learn their trade elsewhere. Where better than in the fields I have mentioned? “There they learn to put over good music practically unseen; to be in close touch with the public; to master many compositions rapidly; to care for emergencies. The long list of com- positions a few such men are equal to, on no notice at all, vivould give the aver- Furopean apoplexy.” .ggudson does mot believe that such experience is necessarily a danger to a man’s artistic ideals. “A good man will come through a good man; a poor one comes &hrougll': a peor man. Just like anything else.” | Marine Corps Orders | Lieut. Col. Wil W. Buckley, on or about February 20, detached Head- quarters, Marine Corps, here; to Pei- ping, China, via the S. S.
