lessons and worked in repertoire with
the best voice masters of the East, and

MUSIC WORLD IS LOSER
IN DEATH OF GRISWOLD
Emilie Trances Bauer Pay3 High Tribute to Opera Star Prima Donnas

BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, March li. (Special.)
All human skill, . all prayers
availed naught when the call came
to Putnam Griswold in full glory of a
wonderful professional career and a
nobler position as a man. The tears
ehed over him were not those shed for
an artist, favorite though he was on
two continents, but for a glorious type
of American manhood in its flower.
The King of Ssnadows" that loved the
shining mark, struck the most brilliant,
the- most promising, the most beautiful
of America's youth and talent.
Putnam Griswold nad a career of
which America may be proud for all
time, both- in Europe and in America,
and he had already signed for three
years more at the Metropolitan, and the
most important contract ever signed
et Covent Garden with a foreigner.
His first appearance at the Metro
politan was made as Hagen in "Die
Goetterdaemmerung," which opera was
again on at the opera-house less than
two hours after his remains were taken
from the Broadway Tabernacle. His
A..nAan urac Inatn n tn n AOHR ho wna ac
claimed at' once by press and public
and both remained faithful to him each
time he appeared on that stage, the
last time being the night before he was
stricken with the illness that resulted
In death two weeks later. His imper
sonation had the elements of a great
soul, notably his "Wanderer" in "Sieg
fried." His King Marke had a sense of
human pity that made it a creation
quite his own.
It was after one of these impersona-
aentcd him with the green and gold
brocade royal robe which was 3raped
is ri
about the casket over which rested the
flowers sent as a personal tribute of
affection and grief.
Putnam Griswold Is mourned from
the highest to the least important per
sons who came into contact with his
daily life. His fellow artists knew the
great breadth of his nature, his swee
attitude to man and mankind and above
all to his confreres and to students
traveling along the stony path In the
dark. Sincerity and love were the key
notes of Putnam Griswold's life, and
these made the loss of the man even
greater than the loss of the artist.
A quartet from the Metropolitan
composed of Paul Althouse, Lambert
Murphy. Carl Schlegel and Herbert
Withcrspoon, sang his favorite hymn,
"Lead, Kindly Light," and Horatio
Connell, a baritone of Philadelphia.
made a deep impression by his singing
of an aria from Judas Maccabeaeus.
Among the honorary pallbearers were
Messrs. Gatt-Casazza, Toscanlni, Ca
ruso. Amato, Otto Kahn. Polacco, With
erspoon ana many others.
The wonderful collection of floral
pieces and cut flowers Mrs. Griswold
sent to the Presbyterian Hospital and
the body was sent to New Jersey for
cremation.

That the end of the season is ap

certs of the New York Philharmoni
Orchestra under Stransky, but beyond

While we hear of musical audiences
going to the demnltion bow-wows and
casting music out of their amusement
lists In favor of dancing tangoes and
kindred diseases in cheap restaurants,
gilded palaces or anywhere else that
dance music twangs louder than the
smell of the food, it Is refreshing to
note the work going on among the
nonnia nnrf fnnterpri hv the Board of
Education of New York, where Sunday
concerts are Deinz given in tne ei:iioia
In the afternoons and In the week
evenings.
At one of the principal auditoriums
of the New York high schools, not only
was an orchestra concert given to those
who came for It, but a gallery contain
ing 151) choice works of art was on ex
hibition for one hour before the con
cert and for an hour after. The
Beethoven second symphony was one
of the chief attractions on the pro
gramme, which was in every way
planned to raise the musical taste to
the highest level.
Tali Esen Morgan, who has for some
years been identified with the choruses
heard at Ocean Grove, Asbury Park and
other similar Summer resorts, has
undertaken to awaken a new Interest
In oratorio. He gave a wonderfully suc
cessful performance of the "Messiah"
a few weeks ago in the Hippodrome
with 1000 voices. The widespread inter
est which this created encouraged him
to the extent' of giving a second per
formance at the same place. He will,
therefore, present "Elijah" March 22,
with 1200 voices and a quartet of so
loists, including Mme. Jomelli, soprano,
Mary Jordan, of the Century Opera
Company, contralto, Dan Beddoe, the
eminent Welsh tenor, and Gwllym
Miles in the title role.
Mr. Morgan deplores the lack of In
terest in oratorio manifested in other
cities. This, he says, is directly due the
custom of importing entire festival
companies and the tendency of local
teachers to make their pupils believe
that they are too good to sing in
chorus. He says, too, that the church
has done much to discourage and de
stroy the art of singing among their
young people. The quartet choir of
fine soloists has taken the place of
the choir and congregational singing,
but beyond this most of the trustees
are unwilling that the lecture rooms
should be used free of expense as re
hearsal rooms
"Years ago." said Mr. Morgan, "a
church would be glad to have a singing
society connected with its regular work
as it was a training school for its
young people and s. good Influence be
sides. Now the room must be paid for
an even then the chorus would be for
bidden to learn a dramatic cantata or
ti opera. When one thinks about the
vulgar music which has been intro
duced Into some of the churches of
late years this seems especially Incon
sistent. Many of these dance tunes
and ragtime melodies are set to re
ligious doggerel rhymes that are a dis
grace to religion and a positive injury
to the young. Take the words away
and these same tunes could be used
for the tango, the one-step and other
of the dances that are now a erase. So
long as the churches use music that
appeals only to the feet they must not
blame their young people for being
carried away by these disgraceful
dances. The churches are going to be
asked to open their doors to the sing
ing societies and many of them will
contribute money to make their chorus
societies successful.
It is harder in New York because
the cost of opening the church Is very
high, but even so, the churches of New
York should at once offer the free use
of their lecture rooms for rehearsal
and renewed Interest should be awak
ened in the social as well as in the ar
tistic side of choral societies."
