MUS I C
By HENRIETTA M. REES.
I WISH the wild bells of next
Wednesday would ring out sev
eral things to the wild sky,
those wild bells which are supposed
to be the musical ones, especially.
It would be great to ring in con
certs again and some real first-class
music from some real first-class ar
tists. It would be fine to ring a wel
come to the deeper musical life for
many of the thousands upon thou
sands who are at present content tj
live in the shallows, and it would
be joyous and noble to have a bell
buoy to ring for some who are out
beyond their musical depth. It
would be wild bells, indeed, which
would be able to ring out a great
deal about the lack of discrimination
and taste which marks musical ex
pression, for the most part. Those
who have ability seem so often not
to have discrimination, and those
who have discrimination do not use
this power sufficiently to build up
taste, and there we are, and the
musical world rolls on, with half of
the talented ones going around in
circles instead of progressing, and
half of the untalented ones' trying
their best to progress, but not being
able to see the path ahead of them
or to hear the wild beU which would
ring "the fuller minstrel in." The
very best of music is in the world
and all around and about every one
of us, but it takes discrimination and
taste to find it, and to use it wisely.
Lack of discrimination though,
come to think of it, is really a de
lightful thing in music. I some
times just gloat over it. In the first
place, it keeps the man who for some
reason or another must write and
can't from composing a masterpiece
of sound fit only for connoisseurs
Then along comes the person who
can't discriminate the difference be
tween his music and that of some
real genius, and oh joy, oh joy, he
chooses for himself the piece which
is more or less of a musical bromide
and he does not rush in where angels
fear to tread and dare to attempt
the masterpiece. Every time I h,ear
something like "Poor Butterfly" 1
rejoice that the performer has
chosen it and let something like
"Madame Butterfly" alone. Of
course sometimes they do not do it,
hut then sometimes a bull does get
into a china shop, and one shud
ders for the result, which is the
same in both cases.
We do not usually let the children
play with the Rookwood pottery,
and the chances are ten to 1 that it
they were given their choice between
a beautiful vase and a gayly colored
rubber ball, the children would al
ways choose the rubber ball. So isn't
it really a blessing that there are
rubber balls?
Tames Huneker recently wrote an
interesting article in the New York
Times on Brahms, the master build
er, which is wonderfully lucid m
presenting his views of this great
composer. The following ase but
two short excerpts from it.
"This massed work is the sum
total of a high ideal; stern, unyield
ing, betmes frostily inhuman, yet
loeical and consistent, ine, pnu.
osophic bent of his intellect extorts
our admiration.
For a half century he pursued the
beautiful in its most difficult and
elusive form, followed it when the
fashions of the season mocked at
such undeviating devotion, when
musical structure was called old
fashioned, sober thought voted down
as dull,. when the theater had invaded
the. tonal realm and menaced it in
its very stronghold, the symphony.
After all, there is something to be
said in favor of the skelton, whether
concealed by human flesh or em
bodied in religious dogma or en
cased within the forrhal walls of
musical compositions. Things must
have structure to interest mankind;
even the orudish oyster has a shell.
Otherwise the amorphous shreds of
the floating jellyfish or the primeval
amoebae would become our ideal.
Brahms, was homo sapiens. He stood
on his hind legs, as did our common
forbears, with 'probably arboreal
habits.' And he wrought the noblest
music since Beethoven.
"He is a thinker, his chilliness is
rather in his manner than in his dis
course, which often is thrice elo
quent This plodder, at times without
Promethean fire, possesses shoulders
wide enough upon which to drape
the symphonic mantle f Beethoven.
He reminds us of a mediaeval archi
tect whose life was a prayer, in
marble; who patiently built Gothic
cathedrals which majestically flank
ed uoon mother earth, whose thin
pinnacles pierced the vasty blue, and
in whose marmoreal naves an army
terrible with banners could worship
while through the stony forest of
arches music flowed as the voices of
many waters. Brahms is the master
builder of modernmusic."
Musical America reprints from the
New York Times this description of
how the German revolution affected
the Royal Opera in Berlin, where,
prior to the armistice, everything
was conducted with military disci
pline, a fact which really accounted
for excellent rehearsal preparation.
The Times correspondent reports:
"Most curious was the effect of
the revolution on the employes of
the former Royal Opera house in
Unter den Linden. Count von Hul
sen, chief director of the opera
house, as well as of the royal play
house, disappeared on the first day
of the revolution. On November 9
the opera house was mong the first
royal buildings adorned with the
red flag. Two days later, when the
house was reopened, the royal em
blems had disappeared, and any
body having the price could get a
seat in the space formerly occupied
by the royal boxes. The revolution,
too, worked havoc in the minds of
the 600 employes of the opera house,
most of whom suddenly revealed
themselves as stanch democrats and
enthusiastic supporters of the prin
ciple of -equality. Immediately an
artists' council, a chorus council, a
ballet council, a stage hands coun
cil, a musicians' council and a supers'
council formed themselves, each
vying with the other in impossible
demands on the opera house's treas
ury or for the casting of parts.
"Each artist, singer and dancer,
male or female, was convinced that
now his or her time had come and
that the old kings and queens of the
stage, orchestra and ballet must
make room for real art and real tal
ent. Vainly Director Richard
Strauss, who no longer wishes to
go to Vienna, sought to prevent the
great historical institution from
drifting into chaos by gathering all
the different councils in one great
parliament.
"Talk about soldiers' and work
ers' councils! The members of the
Grand Opera house council 'beat
them all hollow' in unharmonious
noise, for they have voices, and for
once they made the best of them,
so much so that at the evening per
formance they Were thoroughly in
capable of singing.
"The first few meetings of the 600
employes "passed absolutely with
out any result, because thee was
tnn much lihprtv too mnrli rnnalttv.
When, finally, it came to a ballot,
talent recognized all over the world
had to make room for obscure mem
bers who, though perhaps not pos
sessing any talent whatever, consid
ered themselves playing a political
part which, at the moment, seemed
more important.
"The new democratic tendency di
rected itself mainly against those
who took art seriously, especially
against Director Strauss and Kapell
meister Blech, because they pre
ferred real artists to supers. Neither
of them was elected a member of
the executive committee. Some
chorus girls demanded to share her
dressing room with the great Claire
Dux.
"Other members moved . that 'all
hands must appear at an equal num
ber of performances during the sea
son.' When it was pointed out that
Jadlowker's contract only Called for
eight performances per month, there
was a general cry:
'"Well, if he insists on that con
tract, he must go.'
"The chaos became worse from
day to day, the members being un
able to agree. on any person for
musical director or stage manager.
Strauss got so exasperated that he
was on the point of leaving for his
home at Garmisch when the Prus
sian minister of finance. Dr. Sude
kum, who now controls the royal
theaters, came to the rescue.
"Sudekum appointed Strauss and
Stage Manager Droscher directors
of the institution and declared that
the government would take over all
contracts made with the members.
Meantime the finance committee ap
pointed by the general council had
voted considerable increases in sal
ary to the minor gods and god
desses, which will prove no light
burdento the opera house's budget.
"Strauss and Droscher are plan
ning an entirely new production of
'The Niebelungen Ring.'"
Musical Notes.
Miss Charlotte E. Graves wishes
to announce that her patriotic song,
"A Song to Old Glory," with music
by Leo Friedman, is now on sale at
Schmoller and Mueller's piano store
at Fourteenth and Farnam streets.
Miss Daisy Nellis, pianist, is. to be
a feature of the bill at the Orpheiim
week starting today. Miss Nellis
has been heard in concert with the
Milwaukee Symphony orchestra and
other organizations. Her program
will include MacDonald's Concert
Etude and Liszt's Rhapsody No. 12.
The Tuesday Musical club will
present Marie Mikova, pianist, and
Warren Proctor, tenor, in a joint
recital at the Brandeis theater on
Thursday evening, January 16, at
8:15 o'clock. Martin W. Bush of
Omaha will be Mr. Proctor's ac
companist. Tickets may be mailed
or turned in at the box office of the
theater on or after January 2. Res
ervations and public sale January

other appearance of "Called off"
instead.
My Hat Diary
BY
Carita Herzog
Last evening we gave a little par
ty over at the sorority house and
the Gamma Beta Si boys came over.
We had oodles of fun and the best
est eats ever. You know, of course,
the rule is to conserve, and we have
all along, but last evening we reallv
had quite a few real good eats.
Gladys Nelson made some sugarless
cookies and they were wonderful.
Gladys looked awfully cutie last
evening. She wore a darling hat of
black and white. It was quite large,
the crown and top of the brim be
ing black and the underneath white.
A lovely bunch of black aigrettes
was placed on each side of the
crown. It really was a very chic
chapeau and looked charming on
Gladys.

TTOW lightly we sing this greet

recurring year! How very thought

it should be a time for planning in
a measure for something to be ac
complished, something unusual and
eminently worth-while.
How very delightful of "folks" to
strive to show in a measure the
wealth of love in their hearts, ex
pressed by "gifting" of a lavishness
undreamed at any other time of the
year.
Have you ever noticed the added
gentleness, thoughtfulness for others
evoked by the holiday spirit? If
we could but spread this spirit a
trifle more throughout the whole
year!
A high resolve you say but in
