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

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.

10 seems to be nn admitted fuet that
almost every member of tho theatrical
profession lias'i.onie sort ot a fad or
another. 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. '
