7l , w V $ l "$J If .- Si 14 T CRITIC TALKS TO MUSIC LOVERS THE United States Government hn , recently nntl quite unknowingly been mndo pnrtlrep crimintn to one of tne moat hclnoiiH mimical offenses thnt of violin collecting. llvvlislit .T. I'nrti'llo, a, wealthy resident of 'Washington, t died some months ngo nnd, In hi will ' bequeathed hit rolleMlon of violins to , the. Nntlonnl Museum In Washington. Tho government Is, of course, power- i less to sell the Instruments or to plni'O friivui in lilt: minim vi i u'."v iinifi " " would put them to the tio fur which they were designed nnd therefore, henceforth, four HtratR thirty other fine Italian violins nnd n few of the beat French ninkes will lie ueeless In the Museum, while nne artists must use Indifferent Instru ments becnuso of the nburd viilues I). to which collectors like Mr. l'nrteiio f have raised flno instruments. 'j lie lour Straus in tne coueeiion 01 Mr. l'artello were known as the Spanish, the Jonehtm, the Kdlnburgli and the I,udwlg. the two first being a pnlr of the llnest violins of thnt great maker in existence, nnd while tin others were not of the class of the first named, still they were violins which nny artln In the world would be glad to own. Of the other violins, there were specimens of (iunrnerlus ffit, (which (iunrnerlus does not appear, nut nil of them nre supern instru ments), ltergnnzi, Gnglinno, (itinila gnnlnl, n Nlccolo Ainatl of 1(112, be sides eighteen Tourte bows. The monetary vulue of this collection may be guessed, when It Is known thnt n genuine Tourte how nlnno brings In the neighborhood of $200. TIUj "nrt" of collecting differs in value according to the medium which Is collected. A collection of illuminated manuscript- does o great nood nor no great hnrm. bernti-ic of the relatively small number of persons who are In terested in such things nnd the corre suondinelv slieht coinnetitlon for sneci- mens. finch collecting Is really bene ficial, because It frequently wives to the world beautiful things which might otherwise be easily lot. Art collecting, whether of paintings or of any of Hie other forme of Illus trative nrt. If done intelligently, which It seldom is, mnv be made of Op great est value, especially if the collector be gins with a dcfinlto idea, which again he Ecldom does. A collection of paint ings, for example, showing the gradual development of one of the great schools of art, would he of inestimable value to the student, nnd this is the kind of col lection which should be kept Intact nnd would serve its best purpose when willed to a responsible institution, where its perpetuity would be assured. Hut, un fortunately, most art collections are not Blade with such nn end in view. The collection of music manuscripts is likewise Intrrcjing nnd hnrmless. They have a ontimentnl value only and. like paintings or uthcr forms of nrt in single concrete fotm. the effect of seeing them may be enjoyed only by those persons to whom they really mean something. Thus, for example, the pearly complete collection of the original manuscripts of the Ileethovcn string quartets in tho possession of the Men-delsolin-nartholdy family in Ilerlin, and which, at least u few jcars ago, was open to general inspection, could not be observed by n quartet player without a distinct feeling of emotion as he viewed the mighty works with which he was familiar, ns they first camo from the inmost feelings of the grent master. Hut to n pianist or a cinger they meant nothing. THUS, nearly nil collecting is rela tivethat is, in so far as it per tains to a particular artistic phase, the results of which are apparent to tho-e persons who mnv phjsicully view Its manifestation, ltut the collecting of musical instruments and this relates especially to violins comes under nn en tirely different classification. For every Cremona, or other violin, which Is locked up in a collection, some artist must go without an adequate Instrument. iLk An nlmost parallel Instance might be U.V I aiiffiriialafl ft, tha ncA ef n (.of..,- .......

AVlint would be the artistic result tn the musle-lowng world at large? And yet the permanent locking up of a number of fine vlo'.ins Is not so ery different In the ultimate consequences. Thorn can be no possible objection to nn ntnntcur violinist, however wealthy, owning any reasonable number of fine violins, so long as they are used and give pleasure to the owner or to those of his friends who have the op portunltj of playing on them or of &nHin ,t.h.. w i nH ,,. i,... earing then, bo long ns the Instru- ments aru thus Used, they fulllll the legitimate purpose for which they wTre no,j:?-tofff ,; inuiic is under the dl- . . t i .1 i . ,, , rect on of N Lindsay Norden created.

MARGARET SEVERN, DANCER Mnrgnret Severn, nf the "Greenwich Villnge Follies, 1020." has the dls Unction of being both a ballet nnd a bnrefoot dancer. Seldom, if ever, can n dancer perform equally well in these two widely different techniques. Her first public nppenranco wns in Denver when she was nine years old. She appeared befort, an nudleuco of 7000 in n program of professional dnnces and made a decided sensation. After this appearanco her mother, Dr. Kllznbcth Severn, tho psychologist, de cided to havo her trnlned as a profes sionnl dnnccr. She was taken to London nnd at tended the Covcnt Gnrden Unllet School nnd studied under I'dounrd Esplnosa. It was at this time she was awarded n certificate for teaching by the British Normal School of Dancing. Completing her com so ill London, she went to Frame to study folk dances of tho provinces, nnd then spent some months m Paris under noted dancing In structors. Upon hi r return to Amerirn sho took up Oriental nnd esthetic dancing under Until St. Denis nnd soon became ns proficient in thnt as in ballet work. A PRIMA DONNA FARM HAND Dorothy Jitrdon, grand opera singer, is a Iieliever in work as a means of keeping healthy. .She believes that her robust hiolth is due to tho hnrd work she does on her farm. The arduous preparation for grand opera, the tax on nerves nnd strength required for her performance while she was a prima donna of the Chicago Grand Opera Co. wero achieved oniy in her opinion through this source, for with her own hand she has worked her truck garden even more energetically nnd nsslduously than n pnid farm hand. Miss .Tardnii. who sang principal roles under Campt,nlnl for two years with the Chicago (Jrnnd Opera Co. in "La Tosca," "Znza," "Carmen," "Mn nnn," "Fedora," "Cavallerla Ktisti cana" and "II Tnbbaro," has entered vaudeville for n limited tour nnd iB to i be the chief nttrnrtion nt Kolth'rt next i week.

Carlton Cooler Msrche Slavs Tschalkowsky Carlton Cooley, of this city, winner of tho Stokowski Medal n yenr ngo, appeared as soloist with tho Philadel phia Orchestra nt its concert jctorday nftcrnoon in the Academy of Musle. He plnyed tho D minor concerto of Wieniawski, for violin nnd orchestra nnd created n very favorable impression. Mr. Cooley did well In his selection of a concerto for his first solo nppenr nncc with a nationally known orches tra, ns the work Is thoroughly viollnls tlc, both in Its technique nnd in Its melodic treatment nnd makes no excep tional demands upon interpretative nbllltles. Ho was exceedingly cool nnd eelf-possessed, especially when it Is con sidered that ho wns appearing as solo ist in the city in which he received tho bulk of his musical training nnd with tho orchestra of which he wns previously a member. His tono was moderately Inrgc and of pleasing quality and his execution, was nearly perfect, showing to the best ndvnntage in tho octave passages, one of tho most difficult of violin effects, and in tho rapid splccnto of the finale, where the co-ordination of bow and finger work was very fine. From tho interpretative standpoint, Mr. Cooley ndoptcd a middle course, an excellent plan for nny violinist In the Wieniawski concerto. If his rending was not Impassioned ho avoided (ho usual pitfall of the younger soloist it. this concerto, which Is a tendency to sentimentalize and Wicniawskl's mel odies in this work arc sentimental enough without nny extraneous assist ance from tho performer. Ills nppenr nnco wns very successful, nnd hnd the StokowBki Medal brought nothing fur ther than Mr. Coolcy'u work to the at tention of the public, it would still have been worth while. Tho orchestral feature wns tho benu- tiful D minor symphony of Cesar Frnnob. tho flower of tho r rench school of symphonic composition nnd, In fact, nlmost the only symphony of Gallic origin which shows nny npprecintion of tho sense of thematic development. It wns clven Its iisunl temperamental rending by Sir. Stokowski nnd was played with exceptlonnl tonnl beauty nnd accuracy of intonation by the members of the. orchestra, both as a whole nnd by tho lending solo instru ments, which have much to do in the work. 'The detail of tho mosaic-like finale was clearly brought out, showing ns it docs nearly an tne incmatic ma tcrlnl of tho previous movements. Tho concert closed with Tschnl kowsky's Marchc Slave. - Mr. Sto kowskl took this impressive work, which seems to embody much of the national feelings of the Slav nntlons, at a considerably more rapid tempo than ho does usually, wun tne result thnt much of tho sinister chnructer of the chief melodies, as well ns the melan choly underlying the whole composition, was lost.

Write tor Catalog DAILY- NOVELETTE Said With FlouerK By XA'DIA 1JON BOUliUTS Lewis Denton stretched himself with n weary sigh nnd ran his hand through his curly brown hair. Ho looked with tired satisfaction nt the pllo of papers on his desk, in his gray eyes the con tented light of work well done. "It's been n hnrd week," ho mut tered," but I've caught up again now. Wclli it's Saturday nftcrnoon nnd I guess I'll tako a holiday. I told Bella I'd sure bo homo early today nnd take the children out, but I guess I'll call it off." ' He reached for tho telephone nnd called his home number. "Hello, Bella, mind if I tnko in n Bhow today? I'll be home to supper with my usual appetite. The children expecting mo? Well, I need a change from this eternal grind at the office. That's n good old sport. All right, good-by." Ho hesitated n moment after ho hung up, for his wife's voico had sounded wistful, though sho hnd gallantly told him to run away and piny ns she knew he worked hnrd. In tho pretty suburban homo Bella turned slowly nwny from the phono nnd faced the eager, nnxlous glances of the Bcven -year-old twins. "No. daddy is not coming home early, nftcr all," sho said sorrowfully. "LcOs put away his dinner nnd savo ithe Mir prises for next time." "He's nlways coming next time," walled Bessie, while Bob gulped nnd rubbed his eyes. "Daddy works very hard nnd needs a change," explained tnclr mother, "but we 11 have a good time by ourselves. o'll tako n little walk. No, I'm not t" tired to go ns for ns the park. e II come homo early nnd havo n tea party." Bella smiled brightly nnd the little downenst faces lightened in response. She sighed as the children scampered nwny for their conts, for it had been ft full week nnd the position of house keeper nnd mother, wife nnd nurse maid kept her busy every minute. She had looked forward to the afternoon holiday for the companionship of her husband 'and tho rest ho brought by sharing the caro of the children. In the theatre, crowded with people enjoying their half-holiday, Lewis watched and laughed nnd forgot his uuniness worries. "That's a nrottv tlitnir ." h mnr mured as a quartet of flowor-lndcn girls tripped on to the stnee. "They can sing," he thought ns their sweet young voices sang the old-time melodies, while the quaint hoopsklrts festooned with flowers swayed bnck nnd forth in scdnto minuets nnd graceful waltzes. At the hearty encore they smilingly returned, bringing largo flower-filled boskets on their arms, tossing roses on tho stage as they Bang a tender llttlo love hong: "The roso will tell that you love her dearly, The violets that you love sincerely, Tho Illy speaks of devotion With love ns deep as the ocean Each little flower will tell thnt you love her." Over nnd over, ns the quartet glldod away, came tho chorus, first loudly nnd then softly and hauntingly: Say it with flowers, the fairest that grow They'll bear a message from you. Say it with flowers Tulips, carnations nnd violets, too say it witn uowcrs." Tho lights nnd people faded nway nnd suddenly Lewis snw again the square hall of tho big, old church in the little town of his boyhood, on n drowsy Sundny morning. lie saw him self standing at the foot of the stairs waiting for Belln. Sho enmc down slowly, her fair hair shining in the noontime sun, her blue eyes sweetly serious as sho listened tu the white -haired lady at her side. When they reached Lewis the little old lady shook a playful finger at him as she twinkled, "Did you hear that ser mon, young man? Don't wait until peo ple are dead to bring them flowers. Your sweetheart will need them all her life : flowers of tenderness and kindness ns well as roses that match her cheeks and forget-me-nots to match her eyes." Then she hnd chuckled at the young tnnn's embarrassed face and tho young girl's blushes as sho walked away. "8ay it with flowers." How long had it been since he had brought Bella any of her beloved carnations? How long since he had heard her delighted cries as she burled her fuce in hcurt refreshing roses? Lewis sighed nud en mo back to the present. Ho had lost his taste for tho show and glanced idly around him. He sow women in furs with big bunches of violets, girls in silk with urbutus tucked in their coats, women with white hands and flashing jewels, girls with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. "Bella is as pretty ns any of them," ho thought with prido. "In spite of her hard work sho has kept her hands white and her hair lovely and when she's dressed up sho looks good enough to go anywhere." "Soy it with flowers." Lewis stirred restlessly as ho thought of his desertion that afternoon, the mnny nights that business had kept him working late anil tho Sundays he had been called nway, leaving lonely hours for his wlfo and the children. "Say it with flowers." "Yes, I will." he sold half uloud as he rose nnd left the building. Strnlght to his former fnvnrite florist he hurried, his quick decided step ringing on the pavement ns if he wero going to meet his sweetheart. He picked out a dozen cur nntlons. pure white nnd rosc-nink in.. old favorites ns ho remembered tcndcrlj CTAMMERING r i iew departure ""ii "i ecn ueieci corrected by Normal Puhstsntlve Methods TIIK KINtlHI.KY FOVNIAiON "Mort Thon a School" fan or Write for Information Hours 10 A.
