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^

' | 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.

U. S. 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.

STACCATO NOTES
Dr. George E. Hawes, pastor of
Market Square Presbyterian Church,
got this one past the censor. Dur
ing the coal shortage. 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.

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.
