STUDIO TALKS ON SING NO. S—CREATIVE ABILITY By JOHN W. PHILLIPS Before these articles are com pleted the student and layman will feel that there is considerable more U> the art of singing than appears on the surface. The remark more heard than any other after a song recital or concert, is,"l liked her \ oice" or " I didn't like her voice." Not a word, mark, you know how ihe artist sang; the interpretation or the style. It would be, like going to an art exhibit and 'exclaiming. "I certainly like the quality of paint that artist used." Paint is the ve hicle used to make up a visible, charming picture, just as voice is the vehicle used to convey a melody. A nice speaking voice does not make .in orator. A public speaker must have ideas, and deliver them in a convincing manner. Good voices are plentiful; good singers arc scarce. Possibly the most important re quirement for the successful singer is creative ability: imagination put into motion and practice. The lack of this one quality has defeated more than one beautiful voice. The great landscape paintings are not judged solely by the tech nique and composition displayed, but the judges always look for at mosphere—the something that is there, that tells you what kind of a day it represents nature's mood, rather than nature's dress—the sub tle thing that does not seem to be represented by paint. This we would call creative ability. Draw ing well, handling brush an dcolors well is merely skilled artisanship which can be developed to a high degree. But the other thing, the something not painted, but conveyed to the onlooker—the suggested thought, rather than the painted idea—this is surely creative ability, or imagination put to work. Now, real singing has in it this same element of creative ability. The landscape painted takes as a model a bit of nature. He has a model. The singer has in a song, a model to inspire and work frc|n. The model is usually the result of the inspiration of two persons—the poet and the musician. The poet is entitled to first recognition, because he. in an inspired moment, wrote the words —the musician is inspired because of the poem, and is second ary as far as original inspiration goes. In short, the poem inspires the music, and both should inspire the singer. The poet may not be a musician, and the musical composer may not be a singer; in any event it is exceedingly difficult for the com poser to indicate on the music just how the song should be sung. He can suggest the key, rythm, tem po and certain variations of power, but, he must trust considerable to the singer; and here is where crea tive ability is of prime importance^ Tonight a March Victor To-night the new Victor Records will be on sale here.

Troup Music House Troup Building 15 SOUTH MARKET SQUARE SATURDAY EVENING, , AXBIUSBURG TELEGRAPH ♦ MARCH 2, 1918 ' | The singer must get the ideas, the 1 j fervor, the atmosphere—in other 1 words, he must see the picture—or feel the mood, otherwise it cannot possibly be conveyed to the audi ence. The singer with creative ability knows that sentiment, emotion and : intelligence are three vital factors in singing. He knows that they have i to be mixed in proportion to create ! a particular mood. He knows that j sentiment and emotion should al \ ways be under control. Creative ability knows how to mix these qualities, where to add the poetic, the dramatic, or the subdued inde finable, velvety imaginative tone, that is almost mysterious, but al ways charming. The tone that might be defined as spiritually beau tiful —that exalts —can only be pos ! sible to those having creative abil ity. This creative ability can be de veloped in the student by right teaching. Where a student is ushered into a studio for thirty minutes of vocal gymnastics—where the teacher has intense interest in the clock —where no ideas are expressed—where, what is known as vocal drill is the cus tom and method —there can be little chance for really artistic develop ment. The student would gain more by stopping lessons and attending ! all the recitals possible. us get I over the idea that a good voice il means a good singer—Julia Culp has i not a great voice, or an even scale — yet she is a great singer; Wither spoon has not a wonderful voice, but he is a wonderful singer, and the same could be said of many others. | Caruso has a great voice and is a great singer—a happy combination This combination secures hint the modest income of a quarter million dollars per year. We, as a nation . have been indolent in the matter of teaching self-expression and ap preciation of the beautiful. It is true we have developed crea ' tive ability in a commercial way, ' but not to the same gratifying ex i tent in an artistic way. The ■! at-war and those not at war are ' ried about future business; the fine j arts may suffer in the mad com mercial readjustment; not that pic tures will not be painted, or litera i ture written or music composed; ■ but that they will not get the recog nition or encouragement due them. ■ It will be well, therefore, not to let business absorb all our attention. We must hold to the finer things: they must be on exhibition at all times in all places. The younger generation must be able to see and feel them and know their value. These finer things must become a great part of our national life. Th£ student of singing has an tin- | usual opportunity in the develop jment-of creative ability. Let us I take at random Buck's "Fear Not : Ye, O, Israel," which opens with the voice of prophecy or warning, 'Be | hold there shall be a day when the | watchman upon the mountain top j shall cry aloud. "Arise ye, get ye up j unto Mount Zion, unto the Lord your God," for thus saith the Lord! The singer with imagination will know that he must sing this with the authority of a prophet. He will see the prophet—dignified, earnest, impressive and convincing—as he talks to the multitude. The singer will strive to picture mentally how the prophet would declaim these words—why they would impress the listeners and what kind of a tone is required to convey the scene and the message. Again, the singer with c reative ability is not content to let the tone make itself. He makes it. He adds depth or mellowness—he creates tone to fit the text. He catches the inspiration of the poet, and the fervor of the musician, and in doing this becomes a greater sin ger. MUSIC QUERIES Q. —Is the story true which is printed on copies of Gottsehalk's "The Last Hope," telling why he played the selection nightly? 2. Could Gottschalk be included ip a list of the world's greatest mu sicians? Miss A. R. B. A. —Authorities say the story is correct. 2. —There is some difference of opinion on this point. He has 1 com posed a number of fine salon pieces, of which the one you mention is probably better known than a num ber of his other selections. One would hardly include his name with Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin or others of those schools, but his mu sic can easily be classed as of the best of its kind. Q. —Recently I heard a record of a waltz played by a marimba band. I was told that Strauss was the composer. Could you tell me the name of the selection? R. B. T. 'The Beautiful Blue Danube, and "Thousand and One Night," both waltzes by Strauss, arc played by marimba bands. As you probably know the former well, the latter is the one you have reference to. Q, —Would like to make a study of native music of foreign countries, preferring national airs. Where can I find a collection of these? MUSIC LOVER. A.—Sousa, compiled a number of national songs of all countries some years ago. You will probably find a copy of the book in one of the li braries in the city. (The Harrisburg Telegraph will be pleased to publish answers to any questions on musical subjects. Com munications should be addressed to Editor, MUSIC QUERIES, care of the Telegraph. and should l>e in this ofH<<e not later than Friday noon of each week, for publication the following day.

MAY FAVOR JAPANESE MOVE [Continued from First Page.] Japan's interpretation of her posi tion is that she is responsible for the maintenance of peace and security in the East. A German menace al ready exists in East Siberia and was well known to the Allies, even be fore the latest German advance into Russia." Washington, March 2.—lndications now point to an agreement between the Entente Powers and America to confide to Japan alone the task of taking such measures as may be necessary to combat German aggres sion and influence in Siberia and to protect the military stores at Vladi vostok. No final conclusion has been reach ed, however, and it was said in high official quarters last night that conditions were changing so rapidly and so many new factors were en tering into the problem that it would be unsafe to predict overnight what the issue might be. Exchanges are proceeding rapidly between* the Entente governments and Washington and the matter was considered at yesterday's Cabinet meeting. It is understood that the State Department is being slowly but steadily influenced to accept the view which seems to obtain in Great Brit ain and France and possibly in Italy. That is that a single Power with an efficient and navy within easy reach of Siberia and not otherwise employed, and acting in conformity witl. a general agreement, 'might be better able to deal with the situation than any international force, such as was at first contemplated. The attitude of the Bolshevik gov ernment toward the proposed action by Japan in Siberia remains to be developed. The Russlar contingent in V/ashington is strongly opposed to the step, but, as tha embassy here Is out of touch with the Petrograd government, it is not in position to reflect its attitude. It is gathered here that the Jap a lese government holds that it does not require any warrant from the Entente Powers geneially or Amer ica to embark on a campaign in Si beria, although it makes an excep tion in the case of Great Britain, be cause of the close alliance between Japan and that coun'.ry, expressly covering their joint interests on the A< iiitit mainland. Ho jv-jver, because of the co-operation between Japan and America, France and Italy in dealing with other phases of the eastern question, it is understood that the Japanese Emperor has in dicated that he would welcome a voluntary approval of the govern ments of these countries to any rad ical program that he might feel obliged to adopt in relation to Rus sia's Asiatic territories. The point has been made by some of the Allies during the negotiations that an insistence by them on join ing .lapan in the pfoposed move would imply a lack of confidence in tii motives and ultimate designs of the Japanese when it camo to the llnal disposition of any occupied ter i itory. With Player William Bretz, Jt., a Dickinson College student, is playing the or gan at Zion Lutheran Church anil will be at the keys until after the Raster festival. The music commit tee, of which E. H. Yohn is chair man, has not definitely determined upon a successor to the late E. J. Decevee. Mrs. Decevee is the chor ister. The position in the quartet choir, made vacant by the enlist-1 ment of Robert A. Shackley, bass, I remains vacant, several- applicants i being under consideration by the; music committee. The playing of young Mr. Bretz, who had been* a student o( Mr. Decevee and also of Frank A. McCarrell, organist at Pine Street Presbyterian Church, has proved satisfactory, committee and choir both approving. Mrs. John R. Henry, organist at Market Square Presbyterian Church, is temporarily absent from her po sition, but is expected to resume the duties Shortly. The position of organist at West minster Presbyterian Church is va cant by reason of the resignation of Meetch Stroup, who was elected to be organist at Second Reformed Church. During the very cold weather the main church room has not been used for Sunday services and an organist was not required. With the first Sunday in April the old order of things will be resumed and an organist and choir be in their places. Several applications are in the hands of the music com mittee. With Mrs. Wilbur F. Harris as soloist. Market Square Presbyterian Church choir will sing at to-mor row evening's service C. Whitney Coombs' motett. * "The Sorrows of Death," especially suitable for the Lenten season.

Fuel Adminis trator Hickok advised people to burn wood, so one of the neighbors said: "Good idea, I'll break up my piano. I can get several cords out of that." There will be a heavy demand for cough drops when the community singing begins. Stock up druggists. "Her singing lessons accomplish ed the most wonderful results." "What? Did they really enable her to sing?" "No; they convinced her that she couldn't." Adelina Patti celebrated her sev enty-fifth birthday on February 10. As a warning to American troops, an English officer relates the story that when British troops entered Peronne, a detachment was told off to a certain house for its quarters. In one of the rooms was a piano, and on seeing this a young soldier be came very elated and was about to strike the keys. He was fortunately warned in time by his officer. On examination it was discovered that a bomb had been connected with the instrument and that on the striking of one of the piano keys the house and all those in it would have been destroyed. MUSIC CENTER OF CHANGE WITH CO According to John W. Frothing ham, the well-known concert mana ger, the coming of peace will bring with it an increased desire on the part of people in general to hear good music. In an Interview re cently published in Musical America he said: Opera Comique In Paris Crowded with Music-Lovers "Correspondence from abroad tells us that on the days when perform ances are given at the Opera Comi que, Paris, the queue forms hours before the doors are open, so eager are the people for music. And, after peace is declared and the rem nants of the army return, this hunger for music will be even great er. In listening to the great sym phonies and the great operas those who have come back will strive to lose the memory of the horrors through whi<;h they have passed, while those whose loved ones will not return will seek like solace for their griefs. Music will hold a firm er place in the national life of all countries than ever before." It is only natural that this be so. The power of music to bring rest and forgetfulness has long been acknowledged by people who have made a study of the art. Russia to Kxprcss Its Rebirth In Music Another point of interest made by Presbyterian Church the choir, with Mrs. Hoy G. Cox as soloist, will sing Mendelssohn's motett, "Hear My Prayer." Mrs. Phoebe Turner, who is di recting the music at Christ Lutheran Church, will to-morrow morning, sing Dudley Buck's familiar setting of the psalmist's exclamation, "Fear Not Ye, Oh Israel," which prob ably has been sung more frequently than any other composition of the lamented Brooklyn writer. Mrs. Turner will be remembered as Miss Phoebe Smith, a pupil of the once famous Marie Decca and also fav orably as soprano soloist a number of years ago at St. Patrick's pro cathedral. Mrs. Turner is pleased with the choir organization at Christ Church and contemplates something unusual in a musical way with her i singers during the late spring. Miss Ruth Steinhauer is the organist. The former director, E. A. Heffel finger, will sing at the evening ser vice and there likely will be many who will take advantage of the op portunity of again hearing this faith ful chorister, who served at Christ Lutheran Church for many years. "The Voice in the Wilderness,'' a composition of more than ordinary interest, by John Prindle Scott, will be sung by George Sutton, bass so loist of Pine Street Presbyterian Church, to-morrow evening. At Stevens Memorial Church to morrow morning Mi%. H. L. Hertz ler, contralto, formerly soloist at Pine Street Presbyterian Church, will sing an individual number. Mrs. Hertzler succeeded Mrs. Robert B. Reeves. Miss Martha Armstrong is the soprano at Stephens Memorial, William Boyer the bass, and Walter E. Detrich, tenor and director. Miss Ruth Kraybill is the organist.

"I'm getting married." said the blushing damsel, "and I want to or der a wedding cake." "The latest thing," said the clerk at the baker's shop, "is to have wed ding cakes in keeping with the bridesrroom's occupation. Thus a newspaperman has a spice cake, an athlete a cup cake, one who loafs on his friends a sponge cake, and so on. What is your fiance's profession, please?" "He's a pianist." "Then, of course, you'll want a pound cake." Enrico Caruso recently celebrated his forty-fifth birthday. He has had fifteen seasons of eminent success in j this country. We read that during a movie play, while a murder trial was on, the murderer Confessed, took poison and died, to the organ strains of "This is the End of a Perfect Day." This was less fitting than the hymn "O Happy Day." We also note another instance of un absent-minded organist in a Wisconsin Baptist church, during a baptismal service, who played "Pull for the Shore." Mr. Frothingham was the expression of his belief that one of the greatst effects of the war will be an awaken ing of Russia music. According to him Petrograd, instead of Paris, Vienna, or Berlin will be the music center to which students the world over will flock. There is much to back up this view. Russia has al ways been a music-loving country. Even in the depths of the greatest despair her serfs have been known to sing. The Song of the Volga was perhaps the most popular among them. Anyone who has heard It, and heard it sung by Russian folk can do little but marvel at the poignancy of patient misery ex pressed there. It is the one song that is entirely expressive of the Russia that was. Times there have changed. If then the Russian peas ant has sung while the bonds of slavery were about him, how much more will he sing with the coming of the new freedom into his life. Added to that is the fact that the Russian is a deeply emotional being, Song and poetry are the channels through which these emotions are expressed. Previous to the Revolu tion expressions of this kind of too high a coloring had to be repressed. Now, however, there are no heights of ambition and beauty to which the Russion musician an'd poet may not soar.

Repetition a Great Musical Educator The boy who had a special failing for lemon pie was not satisfied with one piece for desert at dinner, so he helped himself several times. Later in the day he became so sick he thought his earthly existence was nearing the end of its alloted span. The boy who "tried" olives for the first time couldn't go them at all. The second time they had not quite so horrid a taste. The third time he could take them witfcout making a wry face. Persistence won, he ac quired the taste and today a few olives are always a most enjoyable treat for him. The lemon pie vs. olives theory operates in music too. Catchy tunes appease the appetite quickly, but the taste does not last well. A classical number does not gain the same re sponse from your musical taste on first hearing, but repetition im presses the music-deeply on your mind. People will say they simply cannot stand what they call classical stuff, but byway of exception they do appreciate such pieces as Han del's Largo, Dvorak's Humoresque, Paderewski's celebrated Minuet in G. The? reason why they consider these as notable exceptions may be given in one word—repetition. They have heard them often and the full message of the composition has hold of them. Had the same persons heard other compositions as often, they would enlarge the list of classi cal selections they enjoy. Repetition is a great educator. The great influence of the talking machine and the player piano in cul tivating a liking for the better class of music, is due to the ease with which those who cannot produce music themselves are able to play notable selections over and over again. For one who seizes every op portunity to hear a great pianist, symphony orchestra, band, chorus, organist, violinist or 'cellist, there will spring up a deep appreciation for the classics that will continue to develop as repetition makes it pos sible. jJg||S| A Piano For Every Home itfTTA PIANO lends refinement to yonr environment.
