THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; NOVEMBER 25. 1917.

(Coutiniifd from rsge Six.)
sh to encouraging music in this
country, where they have earned their
fortunes, that they have not investi
gated nor put upon their programs
American nunlcal compositions of
worth, nor in any way shown grati
tude for the princely incomes they
nave received.
Several different things have been
heard about the r egro "spirituals" in
cluded by Mr. Seagle in his recent
program. Among them were the fol
lowing: "The melodies are lovely, but to me
lliere is something sacrilegious about
the way they are coupled with the
words."
"Can ou thank him enough for
showing up the beauty of our Amer
ican music? I think they are beau
tiful, and to take away the sacred
words would destroy all the art of
the song. They are different from
anything else in .Mg literature."
"I don't think they are sacrilegious,
for the original singers did not mean
them that way. I think they are
lcvely, genuinely sincere and a won
derful glimpse of the plantation negro
chracter."
at Didn't he sing them remarkably?
Ii lie hadn't proved what he could 5o
CflWfer he came to them we never
. would have accepted him at his true
artistic value."
It made the writer think that there
is many a melodic gem, not only in
the plantation music, the Indian
music, but all around us unnoticed
and cast aside because it has a poor
setting. It was not only the art of
the singer nor the melody alone
which charmed, but the artistic set
ting of melody and accompaniment,
which has been achieved by the great
colored composer, Henry T. Burleigh.
It enhances the sofig just as a beau
tiful setting enhances any jewel.
A new field has lately been found
by the famous artists, John McCor
mack, Mischa Elman, Reinald Wer
renrath, Marie Rappold, Guisseppe de
Lucca and Thomas Chalmers, singers,
and Mischa Elman, violinist, have all
taken a turn at it McCormack offered
to sing whatever song was asked for
j irom his repertory for the purchaser
of $1,000 bonds and" his voice was fre
' quently heard all -the afternoon
through the store in which he was
selling. Elman, Marie Rappold and a
young pianist, picked up from the
crowd put on an impromptu perform
ance of "Ave Maria" upon the pur
chase of the last $5,000 worth of
bonds.

Knitting
New Rule at "Movie"
Studios Opens a Vast
Field for Usefulness to
Favorites of the Films
ORD has come from the
motion picture studios
that all actors and ac
tresses will have to knit in
their leisure moments.
They do say it is awfully
fascinating, but can you
imagine the men folks industriously
plying: their knitting needles, making
sweaters, socks, wristlets, etc.? It
certainly is hard to imagine our best
little bad man of pictures, William
S..Hart, grinding his teeth in a rage
in a close-up while his hands are
peacefully knitting. Imagine Doug
las Fairbanks and George Walsh
knitting five minutes, jumping over
a church steeple and then see who
can "turn a heel" the quickest Just
think of Francis X. Bushman or
Wally Reid being so enraptured with
the art that they would cling to it
even in love scenes and as they clasp
ye fayre ladye in their arms knit be
hind her back - and never drop a
stitch? Wouldn't it be funny to ree
Harry Carey or William Duncan gal
loping madly across the plains
a-horseback, with the rents flying
loose while they cast on stitche, or
the three Farnum brothers, William,
Dustin and Franklyn, see who could
knit a "Kitchener toe" the quickest?
Harold Lockwood and Carlyle Black
well are such manly men that we go
into hysterics when we think of
them crocheting the neck of a
sweater. Think of Earle Williams
driving his car along the boulevard
zig-zagged while he "tended to his
kriittiag." Charlie Chaplin should find
plots. We heard of an author that
does. And can't you imagine Fatty
Arbuckle's director hollering at him
to come into a scene and Fatty an
swering preevishly, "My gawd, can't
you wait a minute? You made me
drop a stitch." '
Fairy Story Related in
Films For Everybody
How many grown-ups recall, the
moments of real joy when as a child
they listened while someone read to
them from a book about the giants
and pigmies, the fairies and other
wonderful marvels of the make-believe
world? t
William Fox, film wizard, decided
to make motion pictures especially for
children. He waved his magic wand
at the Western studios,- and lo and
behold, there sprung up, as if made
by fairies, the beautiful spectacular
age-long fireside tale of "Jack and
the Beanstfelk."
Everybody knows the story, which
lias been handed down from the ear
liest day of the English-speaking
peoples as a heritage of delight to the
little ones of modern times. It is
filmed for children, by children, and
shows at the .Muse Tuesday and bal
ance of this week.
To more appreciably realize the ef
fect of this announcement one has but
to recall the desire, after hearing the
tales, to see the pictures in the book
of. the giants and dragons and
dwarfs, and then would come the
longing for pictures of the whole
story. And gosh, kids, there's a real
giant, and hes eight feet six inches
