6 MUSICALSUBJECTS IN WORK OF ART Paintings at Their Best When Treating on Another Art In the Birmingham Art Gallery in England hangs tho splendid work, "The Village Philharmonic," by Stanhope Forbes, whose "Andante Expressive" is perhaps not so well known. Frank Dlcknee's "Harmony" is in the National Gallery of British Art in London and the touching treatment of "Stranpers in a Strange Land" by Albert Starling In the Wal ker Art Gallery, Liverpool. The lyre and harp are hushed and neglected in Arthur Hacker's "By the Rivers of Babyloji." The pathetic figure of "The Blind Girl," by Sir John Everett Millais shows her un able to see the beauty of the Rain bow and the colors of nature, though on her laj is an aecordeon and the resigned and contented look on her beautiful face bespeak the power of music to human life. Perhaps the best-known painting whose theme is music, is "Hope" in which picture a sightless maiden with her fingers lingering on a harp, all but one of whose strings are broken. Just as long as this one firing holds out and she can draw from it sweet melodies, there is still hope in life for her. Other musical pictures that bear close study are "The End of the Song," by G. C. Wilmhurst; "A Vio lin Concerto" by John Percival Gulich; "The Moonlight Sonata" bv Ernst Oppler; "The Minstrel" by H. Stacy Marks; "A Music Lesson" by the French artist Simon Marmoin; "The Music Master" by Jan Steen: "The Quartet" by Albert Moore, and "The Music of the Pines" by G. H. Broughton. Writing in the Canadian Windsor magazine some years ago, Austin Chester said: "Music which occupies an intercalary portion of our lives, and song, which is music with the subtle weft of thought woven into the woof of sound, touch the high est point of the artistic ideal when they are allied to paint, for then each of the several arts of music and poetry are blended in unity."

BIT OF RAGTIME IN THIS OPERA First Performance of "Shan ewis" Welcomed as Ameri can in Music arid Theme According to the latest music pro-* pliets the great American composer" will not be a spiritual descendant oft Edward MacDowell nor of kin to De bussy, Stravinsky, or others who aro leading the van in Europe; he will be an exponent, In some degree, off "Rag Time," which is held to ba .truly American. This conclusion.. | drawn by Hiram Kelly Moderweft | and Carl Van Vechten in recent writ j ings, seems to some extent to ba | portentous at this time when Amer- I ica has just heard the latest opera j written by Charles Wakefield Cad i man, truly American composer, per* I formed last week at the Metropolitan J Opera House in New York. Mr. Cadman's opera, "Shanewis,* I is American, and it contains soma "nag-Time"—at least —some of the instruments that produce it —for in |an interview quoted In Musical • America, Mr. Cadman says: "For Ntage effects in the powwow scene £ j need also an Indian drum, an In- I (lian sand rattle and gravel rattle, I four ukeleles and a Jazz Band." I Story Rased on Life of Indian Maided Mr. Cadman has made a long i study of American music In the | songs of the Indian. In the inter ] view he goes on to say: " 'Shanewis* deals with contemporary people in contemporary surroundings, and though the principal woman char acter is Indian and the second scena passes in Oklahoma in an Indian reservation, the work does not in any way fill the ordinary definition ot Indian operas. Mrs. Eberhard ha 9 made me what I believe to be a dra matically effectual stage work of rich musical possibilities. For tha story—that of the, fortunes of n highly educated, modern Indian girl —we owe credit to Tsianina, who I not lonfj ago suggested to me the j operatic suitability of such a his ! Tory as her own."
