She was speaking of the reception given the Griffith Aim. Miss Bruce has been an actress for jears. although latterly she has been de voting herself to motion pictures. "I began In repertory out In Iowa," said she. "and I went there from my home In Indiana, r used to do soubrette roles and I would dance a great deal. Just be'ore I went Into picture work I was with Mr. Bclasco. and I played In "Madame Butterfly" and "Naughty Anthony" with Valerie Bergcre. But It Is so much pleasanter to he In pictures and to be able to have a home of your own. I am out of doors a great deai and my warits are not many."' It Is literally true that Miss Bruce has few wants, for she really lives the simple life, and for the last six years she has subsisted on buttermilk, occa sional Ice cream and fruit. And she has no wish to go back to a diet of meat and vegetables. That her food Is sufficient for her Is evident from the clearness of her com plexion and her ability to endure hard ships and the rigors of the weather. THAT there Is Just ns much romance and opportunities for excitement In the average American small town Is proved afresh cverb time a photoplay starring Charles Ray Is released.

Francesco Mallplero, whose orchestral tono poem, "Una Pausa del Sllenslo," has been per formed In this country by 'both the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Boston Symphony. The nnnual competition was thrown open to tho composers of the world foi .the first time this year by the donor of the prize, Mrs. F. S. Coolldge. The win ners of the prize on the two previous occasions when It has been awnrded were Tadcysz lareckl and the famoUB Swiss composer-, Ernest Bloch, both residents of this country. THE winning quartet Is In a single movement and bears the motto '"HI spettl e Htrambottl." It takes about twenty-five minutes to play and, as the name Indicates. Is based upon two an cient forms of Italian poetry, he rl ppetto, a sort of short madrigal, and the strambotto, a grotesque In miniature. The Judges were five men, all of whom were eminently qualified to act In that capacity, as three of them aro men of much practical experience In chamber music. These were Louis Svecenskl, for merly viola player In tho Knelsel Quar tet, and who had the unusual experience of filling that position from the time of the organization of tho quartet by Mr. Knelsel until It was disbanded by that great violinist: Ugo Ara, tho original viola player of the Flonzaley Quartet, and Emmeran Stocber, cellist of the Berkshire Quartet. The other Judges were Ernest Bloch, the composer ana winner of tho prize last year, and Felix Borowskl, the Chicago composer and critic. THE weakness of the plan of the Berk shire competition is that the winning of the prize does not carry with It the publication of tho- work. In this way It DIRECTION Messrs. LEE & J. J.

Houu Bldg., ChutnutST. Below In problem of this country, which Is not in tho production of moro music, but In tho popularization of that which has already been composed. Of considerably greater valuo In. tho solution of this problem ifl tho plan of tho Society for thp Publica tion of American Music, which pub lishes the works ndjudged to bo the most worthy, but 'which carries with It no money jirlzo. "Of all the vnrlous literatures of music, thero Is nono richer In masterpieces than chamber music. There aro unqucstlon pbly moro great string quartets than there are great symphonies, and the same condition obtains wltn regard to the piano trio and th.o sonatas for violin nnd piano. Disregarding ducts without pfano nnd the string trio as not fur nishing a sufficiently broad harmonic and contrapuntal basis lor mo uoveiupiuvm 'of really- great musical thoughts, the other chamber music, "combinations hold tholr own pretty well with the orchestral or oven piano literature In point of num ber and quality. Therefore tho question Is not tho com position of more music, but the getting It before the people who rdally like and ap preciate this great musical form. All over tho United State chamber-music lovers have read of tho annual Berk shire competition, but as tho wprks aro nni mihlluhntl riml mif hufnrn them at a reasonable price, tho mntter ends for tnem witn tno rending 01 mo uuicume, IT WOULD seem a great deal more cffectlvo plan for tho donor of this liberal prize to dlvldo It, setting nsme a sufficient sum to Insure tho distribution of tho music through one of the great muslc-publlshi'ng houses at a rcasonablo price and giving the remainder of the J1000 to tho composer ns a prize. At the risk of being deemed "com mercial," It Is necessary to Bay that this matter of cost has a great deal to do with tho popularization of a chamber music composition. It does not matter so much about an orchestral composition, because tho market for them Is very limited and Is confined to organizations which can pay practically any price within renjinn. Tho rlnnHte orchestral compositions may bo had at a relatively low figure and tho amateur orchestra is technically unable to play tho modern works. But tho chnmbcr-mUBlo- market Is de pendent ttuon tho amateur, Thero Is not a sufllclcnt number of professional chamber-music crganlzatlons In this country to pay tho cost of bringing out a new string qunrtet. If evcrv one of them should purchase a copy. Therefore, to "break even." let ulonn mnklng a pront. the publisher must reach tho amateur market, and this he can do only by putting the works on sale at a price sufficiently low to attract the man of moderate means, for, unfortunately, the amateur of the greatest musical dis crimination Is usually not sufltclehtly equipped with this world's goods to In dulge In $10 and' $12 or even $B composi tions.

At one swoon the oneratlc otitnut of the city has been practically quad - rupieu, wntie me orcnesirai seasons will remain about tho sarrie as In former years, always admitting the posslbllltv of hearing tho Ghlcago, BodnnBky Phil harmonic (New York) and Russian or chestras, although none of them has been announced. It Is more than likely that there will be a far larger number of solo recitals here this season than ever before. The Ice will he broken by the veternn Ysaye next week nndvthe date of Gabrllowltsch has been nnnounced. There have also been sundry long-dlstnnce thunderlngs by press agents of world fammi.t nrtlata to come and the great majority of them win materialize, i no musical attrac tions this season In Philadelphia Willi imulkuiji nu i-uimiueniuiy over llio -0U mark and, what Is moro to the point, the great majority of them will be well worth hearing. Therefore, the music-loving public of Philadelphia may face the Immediate future with confidence, even though a small portion of apprehension may force Its way Into the mixture. The confidence Is based upon the fact of an unusually fine season ; the apprehension upon the contingency that the funds may not hold out to the extent of hearing all that should be attended.
