PRINCE OF WALES SINGS IN PUBLIC Informal Sing-Song at Hungarian Restaurant Leads Him to Try His First Solo. LONDON (N.AN.A).— When the Prince of Wales supped at the Hungaria restaurant recently, he was interested in the old Hungarian custom maintained there of holding an informal sing-song among the guests. On this occagion a middle-aged Ger- man plunged, in a rousing bass, into the songs of his youth. As the student | choruses rang through the room, an-| other voice took them up, humming the | melcdy in a pleasant tenor. The Ger- | man was delighted and invited the un- | known singer to join in with a duet. | This he did, subsequently singing the | famous old “Lorelei” as a solo. HLS" voice, though not powerful, was sym- ntsheuc and his German accent fault- This is perhaps the first time that the prince has sung in public, though his brother, Prince George, is an| accomplished pianist and often enter- | tains impromptu parties with selections of jazz tunes, mostly played by ear.

Leader Controls Sounds of | Musicians in Another Room by Switches. | BY E. de S. MELCHER. | Dr. Leopold Stokowski, conductor, scientist and musical experimenter, tra” concert yesterday afternoon, before |a specially invited audience in Phila- delphia at the Academy of Music. In the darkened auditorium, the specta- tors heard an invisible orchestra play music on an empty stage, while Sto- | kowski, seated in the rear of the hall | before a desk on which were a series of dials and switches and a telephone | with which he could converse with the | orchestra, manipulated the transmission of the sound and “conducted” the | sound effects. | The orchestra was in another room | |of the building. Here Assistant Con- | |ductor Smallens led his men, setting |the pace of the music, while Conductor | Stokowski in the auditorium regulated [the volume. | Held Musical Miracle. The result of this “concert,” and the experiments which went with it, may | be said to be one of the musical mira- cles of this age. After two years of | research work the Bell Telephone lab- oratories, together with Stokowski. has | worked out this invisible or “ghost” or- | | chestra. The first public demonstration of this | | new musical invention will be given in Washington under the auspices of the | National Academy of Sciences on April 27, when Dr. Stokowski will “conduct” his orchestra—which will be stationed in the Academy of Music in Philadelphia— from the stage of Constitution Hall. As in the experiment shown yesterday, the stage will be empty but for a special lighting arrangement against a simple “drop,” which is said to stimulate the audience’s musical appetite, and there will be neither man nor any musical instrument in evidence on the stage of | the local auditorium. Yesterday's audience sat spellbound | before the “miracle” that was being per- | formed. As soon as all of the guests | were seated the lights were lowered and as the curtain rose on the empty stage ‘Wagnerian music of an almost uncanny beauty crept across it. From where you sat you were sure that the violins were | ings. playing to the left of the stage, that the harp was at the extreme right and that | each musical instrument was playing in the exact spot it would occupy if the musician was there “in person.” Sat in Back of Hall Stokowski sat in the back of the hall before a kind of improvised desk on which were the necessary dials and switches, marked “more low,” “less low,” “more high” and “less high,” and which he moved and turned on and off while the music was being played. At the same time those near enough to him could hear him whisper into a phone which connected him with his orchestra, and through which he gave his “get ready for such- and-such an experiment” command. Thus, when Dr. Harvey Fletcher, acous- tical research director of the Bell com- pany, was illustrating the range and the sound “scope” of the invisible orchestra, by means of a specially con- structed chart, Stokowski would whis- per into his phone “Get ready, cellos,” and in another minute he would flash the “ready” signal and the music of the cellos could be heard coming from the stage. Even more uncanny than the range of the music, which is capable, as the chart showed, of reproducing sounds Jouder than “painful sounds,” and sounds less than the “rustle of leaves,” was the experiment in which a man was heard sawing some wood on one end of the stage while a friend came along, tramped across the stage, and gave him some more material for his work. In this brief “drama” you could have sworn that the characters were actually there before you—since while they were invisible, their voices, and their walking and sawing came from the correct angle of the stage, and you cals on the side. Foreigners will be admitted to such palaces of chance upon presentation of fassporu‘ but Brazilians must present | dentity cards. Cashiers or other per- sons handling money will be barred.

Two old business associates at the Southern Railway, both credited with more than a quarter of a century in the employ of the company, died a few hours apart yesterday. Albert Terrill Mason, 56, chief clerk in the office of materials and supplies, died sudden}y in the home in théSherman apartments, 1101 Fifteenth street A native of Columbus, Ky., Mr. Mason entered the service of the railway at Birmingham, Ala.. at the age of 16. He came to Washington 20 years ago | to become a clerk in the Southern office here, and in 1917 was promoted to chief clerk. a position he held continually. Mr. Mason, who was a Scottish Rite Mascn, is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice F. Mason, and a sister, Mrs. B. F. Winston, of Atlanta, Ga. Funeral serv- jces w be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow at W. W. Chambers funeral establishment Burial will be in Rock Creek Cemetery. Shortly after noon, Richard I. Pur cell, 60, wire chief of the telegraph department of the railway, dropped dead at his desk. He was believed to have been stricken with apoplexy. Mr. Purcell who lived at 1526 Seventeenth street, had been with the Scuthern intermittently since the 90s Several years after he entered the rail- way service he left to enlist in the Spanish-American War. He returned, cnly to leave again to serve in the World War as a_captain. After the war he regained his position and held it until his death. During the past vears Mason and Purcell were inti- mate friends Mr. Furcell is survived by his widow.

Meaning to Humanity. “What,” then said Dr. Stokowski, “can this mean to humanity?” | He answered himself again by say- |ing: “I can imagine great gardens of iplrasure in the future—where you can hear the greatest music—coming from a great light and sound tower which | we can construct.” This he showed | would be possible in every city and |in every country, since with the proper wires the orchestra, as will be demon- strated here in Washington, can play in its home territory and be conveyed anywhere and everywhere if the proper equipment is at hand. The music yesterday, except in cer tain sections of the brass, was clear | and as real as though each musician | had been on the stage. The stringed instruments were reproduced possibly with the best results. But there scarcely was a suggestion of the scratchings which the radio, for m-i stance, brings, and the silences were not punctured by any noises whatso- ever. Although occasionally Dr. Sto- kowski turned on a “loud” too loud, and the soft sometimes was perhaps a trifle too soft, the whole musical pres- entation seemed as perfectly repro- duced as though the invisible orchestra had been at hand, and the lighting arrangement op the stage prevented the audience from having to look at nothing.” Man; prominent Washingtonians Don’t Run The Risk Save yourself the embarrassment of offend- ing others with perspiration odor.
