( THE CRITIC TALKS TO MUSIC LOVERS Wcclsly Comment on Things Musical in Discriminating Philadelphia THK Appointment of Pierre Monteux, conductor of Krcnclt opera nt the Metropolitan Opcrrt House, n perma nent comliictor of tlie Iloston Sym phony Orchettrn. wns not nuielt of a surprise. Indeed if wni more of n sur prise that he, did not Ret it this senson, iimteiid of Mr. Kiibaud, innatnuch ns the Metropolitan Opern Company has fit nil times been willinR to release Mr. Monteux from his contract, which, by the way. lins still n j'ear to run, in case the JIoslou Orchestra really wanted hlin find he was willing to Ko. Itv one of those Btrancc happenings so frequent In musical circles, in this i ountry especially, Mr. Itabaud, who hns for years been a distinguished con ductor of opern and has done orchestral and symphonic conducting only Inci dentally, wns cnllcd to one of the great- 1 est of American orchestras, lij the mine token, Mr. Monteutf, who, among other things, frequently conducted the (olonno Orehcstrn in Paris and who inalutaiued his own symphony orches tra in the French capital, only con ducting opera occasionally, and i never mnlilug It a specialty, was summoned to the conductorship of our greatest opern company. One would naturally have thought that Mr. Monteux would liavo gone to Boston and Sir. Hnbaud tQ New York, nlthough probably the sal ary paid In lloston had something to do 'with the flnnl decision. Mtt. ItABAUD'S chief reason for not remaining in Bostoli is said to be that he desires to devote himself almost exclusively to cpmpasition. But there is no denying the fact that the Boston season has not been a brilliant one, either from the standpoint of popular success or of nrt. The series of concerts given In Philadelphia this season arc, positive proof of this, for nlthough there were only five of them, they came at Mich widely distributed points of the reason that the progress or rather retro gression of the orchestra could be plain ly seen. An the early concert, which was coiiductcil by Mr. Monteux, who had been lent by the Metropolian to lead until Mr. Hnbaud should have arrived in the I'ulted States, nothing could be reasonably expected. The Boston Or chestra was then for the first time iu its existence playing under or rather being trained by n French conductor, Despite the mixed nationalities of its personnel, it had been steeped iu the traditions of (jcricke. MUlseli, rnur, Kidder and Muck. These were not to he overthrown in a moment and, in fact, lo nn outsider it seemed as though they had not been bcriously impaired, al though somewhat shaken, by the entire reason. There wns also n new conccrtmeister who had not had the orchestral train ing of some of his predecessors, nnd, all in all, things were not in a very homo geneous state when Mr. Mouteux ar rived to take over the organization. Nevertheless his concert here was one of the best of the series nnd showed that he had some delinitc plans for the handling of the orchestra. VERY much the best concert of the series, however, was the one in De-. pcinbcr, which w-us the first time that Mr. Unbuild appeared in this city ns n conductor. The orchestra at this con cert showed n mental stute entirely dif ferent from that which it hnd shown hince the enforced retirement of Doctor Muck, nnd nt thnt time it looked ns though Mr. Hnbaud would be able to get the organization in nt least some thing like its former self. The succeeding concerts, however, dispelled this idea. There wns very nppnrent frietiou in the orchestra, which played carelessly and with n luck of discipline which would not huve been tolerated for a moment under t)ic former leaders. The writer at one of the later concerts saw one of the violinists stop playing for no nppnrent reason, lny his violin in Jiis lap and deliberately .talk to his scatnintc for a space of riot less thau a minute, before he resumed playing, although the instruments of his lection were biAiy nt the time. This wns Duly one of a number of incidents which occurred in the Philadelphia couccrts, i hi cli indicated something was seriously wrong in the body. Imagine what would have happened hnd such a thing oc curred under disciplinarians like Nik I'ch or (Jcricke. HOWKVKll, this is now all past, and , Hie iutcicsling question is1Vhnt will Mr. Monteux do with the orches tra? To nn Impnrtliil observer it seems lis though the chnngc from Itabaud to Moutoux or. for that matter, to' nny Ww" French or Italian conductor is a case lssuv of "from the frying pun into the fire," 11I1IV99 ll'lllllll 1UUIIUI imtiiKca UIV made. It had been sttid that there are twenty-three changes in the personnel of the Itobtou Orchestra for next sen ium, and boine of these may make Mr, Montcux's task considerably lighter. As hns been snld, the traditions of the Iloilon Orchestra ure those of a nation other thau thnt of the coming aml'tlie retiring conductors. 'It is no ;usy 'matter to make u change so radical without affecting, to n very serious cx ('(.nt, the morale of tho organization ;omc Indication oj, what that means las been given this year. The well- iinmii leopard and the equally well (timvu Ethiopian would have a far east iftline changing their lespectivo spots mil sklu thun the average, orchestral iluyer in changing the traditions under vh'lch his orguulzntion has won success n the pq,st, and from which, a partial licnngc has been shown (o be uniuc o'isfiil. Under nny circumstances, tho utiire of the lloston Orchestra in its ouiliig .season Is mo of the most In- electing situations in American intislc. f T H, of course, Impossible In hrlng it nbout, but there ought to be n-law Igtliiuit the collecting of fine instru ments, especially violins, Mauy of tho Incut Creinouus mid instruments of tlier makes nrc in the hands of cl-, wlon who ni m ply collect them as; tubby or for the Houicwhat problematic oy of possessing something that is be- I loiid the means of the. average person.

There onn be no possible objection lo n wealthy man possessing one or two line instruments It. ho enn play them, po matter how badly, for they arc then nt least' serving some good end: Out tlicre is every reason why he should, not nave a big collection of Instruments simply for the plensurc of owning them. Such n collection' Is of no permnnent value, for they nrc almost invariably sold after the death of the man who began It. Fine instruments arc always In demand nnd they arc too readily sold nt large vrices for the heirs to retain them. Neither are they of nny historical value, ns n collection of paintings or of books may be. It gives no pleasure to the average per son to see a fine violin, ns it does a painting, but in the hands of nn artist, this violin would serve a valuable pur pose. A NOTIIIOlt objection is that it places " an, entirely fictitious value, not only on the specific instruments in the col lection but upon nil instruments of more than ordinary worth. The average denier in musical instruments is de cidedly riot in business for his health, nnd theynre adepts nt getting the Inst cenf possible out of both the musician, who generally docs not know ns much ns he might nbout business, nnd the collector who docs .not know as much as he might nbout violins. Wljen n big dealer gets bold of an instrument of extraordinary value he offers it to the collectors who, he knows, are able to pay four or five times the price for it that the musician can. The dealer cannot be blamed for this, but just the same it Keeps n fine instrument from sonie one who would use It to better advantage than keeping it in a collection. There seems to be no possible way to eliminate such h situation, which is worse in England than here, but it is unfortunate that some way cannot be devised. At the death of a British,no blcman some spars ago about twenty of the finest violins in the world were sold, but here, ns in most other cases, they simply went Into other collections, principally British, although n couple found their way to this country. Since the days of Luigi Tarisio, who was the first to appreciate the value of the Cremona instruments, nnd left about 400 of them, most of which he got by trading in shiny new instruments for the fine old ones, the collector hns been with ns nnd he probably alwnys will be. However, the poor musician hns one consolation. That is. thnt the average collector gets "stung" on faked or doc tored instruments to nn almost incredi ble extent.

There Is apparently no rea' son why the people of the stage should develop nnj sort of a mania, nny quicker than the members of any other profes sion or trade, but it Is so nnd ono rea son given for it is that stage folk nrc temperainentnl nnd their sentimental feelings often lead them to an extreme fondness for pets. Peggy 1'arker, who comes to Keith's next week ns one of the iirincipnls in the musical comedy, "Not Yet Murie," has made n study of wild nnimul life. Miss 1'nrker is a constant visitor tolhc 700 whenever the city in which she is playing hnppcns to have one. She never falls to engage the keepers in conversa tion regarding the habits of the animals. She now has two Angora cats nnd n couple of dogs, but she longs for wild nnimMs nud means to add tome to her collection of peV ns soon ns she has a place to keep them and lime to give them attention.
