AMUSEMENTS.
Mr. Israel Zangwlll , the London critic
and Htcrateur , has succeeded In stirring up
a deal of controversy by his firat lecture de-
Hvcred on this side of the water. Ho came
with the reputation of a man of genius , but i
whose pen was moro accustomed to Indict' '
nnd bis tongue to give voice to bitter thlnr
than compliments , and his first effort In
New York bears oul the Impression which
preceded him. Among other things ho la
credited with saying that only two grpatl
plays have been written since Shakespeare's I
time "A School for Scandal" and "
Stoops to Conquer. " Ho IB also quoted as ,
expressing a very poor opinion of modern
nctors , cbarglng that without exception they
nre wanting In the true art nnd attempt
to supply the deficiency by elaborate stage
setting.
It can readily be Imaglnecd that such
wholesale denunciation would creatd a com
motion among tbe authors , managers nnd
adorn. That there 1 ? a vast amount of
trash palmed oft on tbo public by managers
and many popular favorites on thd stage
who a in devoid of any real 'urtlitlo merit ,
others besldo Mr. Zangw.111 have nppre-1
clntrd , but there are those whose literary j
abilities are just as great as Mr. Zangwlll |
nnd whoso nrtlstlc sense It just as refined ,
who arc able to sen much that Is worthy or j
commendation In the modern drama and
modem actor. It would , Indeed , bo a sad
commentary on thu closing days of the nine
teenth century If such narrow views as Mr.
JCangttlll gives utterance to were really
tiue He falls Into the common error of
many who In all lines compare the past
and the present. Such as ho forgot that
practically all wo know of the past Is Its
brightest and hist , which has lived and
tome down to us through Its Inherent merit ,
while of the present tbo good and the bad ,
the dross and the pure gold are forced
upon our notice , nnd ho compares this mass
of tha woithy and the unworthy with whnt
bae been handed down to us purified by the
lire and which lives by vlrtuo of the In
exorable law of the aurvlval of thd fittest.
Mr I. UtinKWiri Is but a typu of man foun.l
In all walks of life who dream of the past
mid 1U glories and In straining his vision
overlooks the worth and the beauty of the
urcscnt. The world Is better , wiser and bap-
nlcr ns a whole today than It over has been
alncc the day when "God eald let there bo
light , nnd thcro was light" and thcro is
i every prospect that It will continue to pro-
KICKS as it has In the ages that have passeJ
In spite of such croakinga. They serve ono
good purpose , however , and that Is to call
attention to the ( shortcomings of the present
and through making them apparent wotk
out a remedy.

I Eastern musicians visiting the exposition ,
j professionally nnd otherwise , have had a
great deal of fun at the expense of some
of the western musicians , In connection
( I with the title which Is generously accorded |
In this part of the country. A title which
I means nothing , and Is quite superfluous
when prefixed to n musician's name. The
title referred to Is "Professor" In some
parts of the country a stranger , forgetting
the name of some one whom he has chanced
to meet , \V111 be perfectly safe by simply
greeting him In the term , "Hello , Judge ! "
In other parts of the country a forgetful
man will be perfectly safe In saluting a
recent acquaintance as "colonel. " And so
tbe term professor has been Indiscriminately
applied to all persons who follow the avoca-
j tlon of music. There Is nothing which to
1 illsgusts the real , genuine musician as to
o called professor. Ho knows that the
tie Is not conferred by any university , nor
s It gained through any particular merit ,
nd the man who persistently advertises
imself on programs or In newspapers as
Professor" so and so , Is unworthy of
icrlous consideration as an artist. It Is to
.o . hoped that with Increasing civilization
bis superfluous title will drop Into ob-
Ivion.
Imagine the absurdity of an announce
ment that "Prof. Theodore Thomas" would
ipen the season of the Chicago Orchestra
lth a new overturn by "Prof. Verdi , " or
hat "Prof. Innes would play next week at
ho exposition a march written expressly
'or him by Prof. Sausa. "
In the old countrj , where a chair In tht
wlvcrslty means a professorship , it
be all right , but In this country the title
has fallen into disrepute. Wo are accus >

had no music before him. The librarian
said that ho had known Inncs to play A
month , changing the program dally , and
carry the music of each concert In his head.
"Wasn't It possible for the leader to raaka
a mistake under such conditions , " the li
brarian was asked. He smiled confidently
when he answrrcd that he had never known
him to make a mistake rending r.-otn mem

Somewhere In the active lobes of this
bandmaster's brain each lndtvl.lu.il note to
be played by fifty different Instruments Our
Ing a performance of two hours Is stored
i In fresh order. Somehow on some Impres
sionable plate of that unerring e.\t the true
sound of eacK note Is recorded , and a false
note from a single Instrument seemed to
arrest the natural action of : hc recording
Instrument. Smooth playing might bo noted
from the gratification pictured upon th *
bandmaster's face , nut in a moment b
ear lowered , his left hand was pushcJ lie
(
hind It , and , like someone waiting for the
I next footfall of a supposed buiglar m tbe
Ight , he listened. A moment later ho
topped those fifty plavcrs with n wave of
Is hand.
"My , my , gentlemen , wlut's the mat
er' " ho exclaimed. "The gontbmc'i at the
romboncs , I mean. The trombones wll
ilease play that last part alone. There H
s. Read your notes , gentlemen. Play 1
his way" And the bandmaster wh sted ! I
or them. For a few moments the biton
moved gracefully again , and settcn aftc :
lection of the players began or ceased thel
nuslc , evenly with Its stroke. Then Inne
ookcd pained and ho strained h)3 ) neck
gain , and ho secnrcd to shift his faculties
rom ono body of Instruments to another. In
a moment he fixed bis attention on , the
larlnets , stretched out his arm and every
nstiumcnt stopped.
You gentlemen with the clarinets are dong -
ng that , " said he. "What , " said tbe first
: larlnet with some spirit ,
"You are changing an eighth In there
and skipping a little trill. Play It again. '
The next attempt was the same as be-
'ore.
"That won't do , " said Innes. "Play It
Ike this , " he added , and he whistled It for
them.
'All right , but wo have been following
the music , " said the first clarinet.
'Very well , then , we'll change the music , "
answered the leader courteously. "Let me
see the music. " The librarian handed It to
him.
'You are right , gentlemen. I will have
that rewritten for you , but meanwhile please
play as I want It. "
Aga.ln . the whole band struck up and a
tyro would notice the effect of the band
master's correction. It was as If a sur
prised hello had been changed to the rlp-
pltng sound of laughter.
Such corrections and Improvements were
made at Intervals during three long hours
of rehearsal. Some passages were repeated
so often by order of the leader that it
seemed as if ho himself must grow vve.ii }
and exasperated. Dut he never lost patience ,
On the contrary he would finally say.
"I congratulate you , gentlemen. That is
perfect. "
After a concert the other night Heidel
berg , the band agent , who plajs In tht
rce-d section , was overheard to remaik tc
Innes'
"You are holding them too tight on mi
lino. The boys are getting rattled. "
"They need to be held tightly , " the band'
master answered. "There has been careles :

"Well , > ou know how you had them Ir
Nashville. They were scared to death. "
"Maybe you're right , " said Innes. "Thai
Is a bad way for them to feel. " Yet no1
a word had passed between the leader ant
those acutely sensitive men. Thinking the ;
were becoming careless , ho had held then
In his grip with the result described. 1
Is In that way that one section af'er an
other Is kept In form.
