thnt It was a mis
take. B. Rankin Drew (one of the
most prominent figures in the movies,
who died ln service ln the war, but who
achieved real distinction as a director
in "That Girl Phlllppn" and "Ken
nedy Square" aa well as merit as aa
excellent young actor), IVenald Crips
(who directed himself with success in
"Beside the Bennie Brier Bush"),
Charley Chaplin (a supreme example),
Ralph Ince (who is such a very clever
actor that it seems a shame be bides se
often behind bis megaphone) and oc

Borao ethers, such ns Tem Ferman,
James Cnue, JeTin Robertsen, Mar

could net conveniently mix the two

Kathlyn Williams in "The CeBt of

TT IS true beyond question that

se much better that net a season pawes
that several Haydn quartets are net
plnyed In nil the great inunlc centers of
the reuntrj, whereas performances of
anv of the symphonies arc few and far
between, despite the fact that there
are four or five times the number of
ercluetral concerts in all the big cities
thnt there are chamber music concerts.
Of eeurfae. the greatest element ln
with Barbed Coeten and William this is the fact that the instrumcnta-

since the time of Haydn, whereas the
orchestra has been many tiracB en
larged, new Instruments giving Innu
merable varieties of tone, both alone
and in combination, have been added
and the technique of Beethoven, Ber
lioz nnd Wngner has increased im
mensely the possibilities of the erches
tra in tnne und expression. .
But the modern orchestral writers
arc undoubtedly composing, mere ln the I
spirit of their times, than are these for i
chamber mush:, and these who in their I
music interpret most accurately the ,
spirit of their age are, they whose com
positions will live; provided that their
works have in them the same elements
of this ngc which will llve in economic
hi-tery It Is nn use whose rapidity '
nnd noise nre net fitted te exposition ,
In the string quartet nnd similar com
binations, nnd perhups this Is the rea
son why we ure getting sucn jiuei i
material along these lines.
W AON I'll tiHed te bay that there was
no use for him or for nny one else
tn compose, a cjinpheiiy because Bee
tiinten had exhausted the possibilities of I
this form of composition, n statement i
which later the works of Brahms,
Tschalkewsky, Cesar Frnnck and
Dvorak dispreted. It Is much mure
of u question as te whether Beethoven,
did net actually exlinust the pemimi- i
(ties of the piano sennta and the string
quartet. Sincu Ills diiy there has been
little enough done for these msuuuieiu.s

American composers possible, theie i

An interesting thing In connection
with the concert of the Lctz Quartet
last Sunday wns the cfTect of placing
two movements from a Haydn qtinrtet
just before the Ravel. It was amazing
hew fresh the Haydn number sounded, I
even when sandwiched in between
Brahms and Iluvel. In spontaneity nnd
.Yrcn thnre harp been few comnescrs Ills
equal, and these qualities go n long
way in effective quartet composition.
