AMERICAN managers can hardly
realise their great advantages
.! - AM till they begin to look Into mant
. XJL irerlal conditions elsewhere. In
Paris the work Is made very
hard. Any concert for which admission
! charred must divide its proceeds.
Before any of the expenses can be met
19 per cent of the gross receipts must
be paid to the poor fund and 10 per cent,
I to the society of Autnors. xnus oniy
8S far cent of the Income remains to
meet the same 100 per cent of expenses.
' One ran readily see what a depressing
v effect this must have on the musical con
ditions of a country. There is so much
talk nowadays of commercialism In mu
sic and yet why should not a musician's
L success be placed upon the same basis
as everything else his ability to draw
money? In Paris be cannot make money.
In America It is a simple matter for
, mssldans to make money even though
they may not rank among the beat
' for here the business side of music as
a profession has been worked out sclen
r tlflcally and minutely and the art has
been placed on a .money-making basis,
which may at first thought sound de-

'IRST AID TO
Forgetful Composers
There Is another Invention In the
musical world that has attracted wide
spread attention, and will doubtless be
of untold benefit to composers. It Is
called the kromarograph. and was In
vented by Laurens Kromar of Vienna.
It Is an apparatus that can be fitted to
any type of steel Instrument The keys
are electrically connected with a series
of ST pencils, which write down a mus
ical Improvisation In the ordinary staff
notation. Even the expression Is re
corded by the kromarograph.

Bruce, as accompanist at the Pianola.

the master artist The second reoltal
will be held next Friday evening. Com

Not Letter to, Be Mailed.
From the Kansas City Star,
Pr. Wiley, the government-food ex
pert, has been connected with the agrl
cultural department for a good many
years. When - Uncle Jerry Rusk of
Wisconsin was secretary of agriculture
Pr. Wiley brought him a letter to sign.
It had bean "written to an Impertinent
but influential oorreapondent and was
couched In cunningly saxcastlo vein.
Mr. Rusk read It with delight roared
out his laughing approval and then tore
It up. W
In answer ta Dr. Wiley' look of
amassment he said: 'That was a bully
letter. Now go and write one that we
can send to the blame fool." Dr. Wiley
learned there and then that witty and
saroastlo letters are not In favor In the
government service.
Batchers' Bine Smock.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The butcher's smock was blue. It
looked much neater than the white
smocks of his friends, all smeared with
dried blood.
"Every butcher," said the man,
"ought to wear a blue smock. WhyT
Because dry blood ' won't show on It
Dry blood turns bluish, and on a smock
of this color is invisible,
T am descended from a long line of
butchers, and from father to son the
word has always been passed down to
wear, for neatness sake, a smock of
blue." , ,

The School That Places You in Position When Competent.
Mrs. May Dearborne Schwab, In Child Song Recital Lasfr Week.
- grading but on second thought Is only
;right and natural, for one must live,
artist or no artist
-1 . And from this systematic working
- . out of the paying and non-paying prob-
- lema of music, managers have placed
themselves in a position where they
can command capital and respect In
Paris It Is not so. The odds are too
great against a manager for him to
undertake the work. Think how many
1 J managers we have In the states who do
nothing else for a living; who devote
. all their time to impresario work, en
. gaging artists and trotting them around
i the country on a guarantee or a per
cents ft" rate. And some of them wax
fut iLnil live An the fat of the land
4 In Paris no one can afford to give up
'his entire' time to that sort of work.
Capitalists will not invest tlelr money
In such uncertain enterprises. And so
It Is that there is no advertising of a
coming musical event; there is no ad
: vanes ticket selling place; no mention in
the papers, and some of the greatest ar
tists of the world may play in Paris and
not over a hundred or two of people
know be Is there. Almost all their con
certs are given by invitation. And so
It is that the lesser artists remain
lesser artists all the time and the really
mall ones literally starve to death
For no one is going to know all about
a new person, however wonderful he
may be, until he is talked of. and no one
Is going to .talk of him till he is known,
and he Is not going to be known as long
at he must continue in his little garret
hoping for aotne fairy godmother to
bring htm to the publie light which in
America Is reached by advertising, glv
lng concerts and thereby becoming
Known. . in Tanoe tne unknown mu
sician may give an invitation recital
and no one will come because be is not
known. And few there are who'' "can
afford to advertise and become known.
And yet he cannot give a paid admission
recital to defray his expenses for, un
known as be la, the city's percentage
will be sure to rob him of the neces
sary amount to meet his expenses. And
ail ne can ao is to waii ror Providence
to become active In his behalf. That
is whr we hear of ao many more starv
ing musicians In Paris, than in our coun
try. . ' . "

JAMESTOWN MUSIC
Includes Good Artists'
Though the air is full of complaints
and disappointed criticisms on the
Jamestown exposition, one must admit
that the musical offerings are quite
worth while. Arthur Hartmann was
persuaded to delay his departure for
Jfiurope by a very flattering Offer from
the exposition for a concert May 12.
Joseph Maers and.S. M Fabian, both
pianists of some note are booked for
recitals soon.
The Washington Choral society of 300
voices, unaer me direction or Sidney
ijioya wrigntson, win give the "Mes
slah" on June 10. Several of the large
cnorai societies or the south and col
lege glee clubs will try for the 1250
choral cup and the $160 glee club cup
offered. ' Clarence Eddy dedicated the
izu.uoo pipe organ early in May, and
gave six organ recitals In series. .Flor
ence Hlnkle of Philadeipnia, Clara brew
of Washington, D. C. Oeorge Hamlin
and Whitney Tew are the soloists for
the "Messiah." Phinney's' Innes' and
Ltberatl'a bands have been engaged.

out, and each new feature is practical.
