he aentlmental aide of the Scandinavian
nature. It la worthy of Imitation In
other countries.

alo of profoundly sacred character, in
, apiring thoughts of devotion and prayer,
may often be found In an opera. Mr.
' Brooma need not tiava looked further
than the pilgrims Chorus" In th name

overture to 'Lohengrin, deeply religious
In spirit" . . 4. .
That seems fair enough, for the writ
er la winina- to grant that Mr. Broome
lak an unusual artist But It may be
golne; a little too far to say inai
Bouaa'a march would hav been Just as
appropriate, for. of course, good music
i a cood music and educational wherever
it la heard. It would certajnly bo less
offensive to the musical Uate to hear
tha Tannhauser festival march In church
than some of the hallelujah, tear-yojir-hair
hymns sung every Sunday which
have no mote of reverence in them than
i baa i'A Hot Time lnthe Old Town To
nieht." .which, by the way, is turned
Into a hymn by a certain religious body,
Probably half the people who recog
nte tha famous Tannhauser march,
with its captivating rhythm, know noth
ing of the story of the opera or the
meaning of the march further than that
it Is an inspiring composition, and that
It sets one's feet moving and puts one
' into the Joyous triumphant mood that
'-' is supposed to be imparted ov me nymn
Onward, Christian Soldiers." But that
does not excuse Mr. Broome, for he was
playing before an educated audience and
a musically cognizant audience. It ia
this very thing that made th writer
resent Bis cnoice oi suojeci. ana ane
goea on to say: '
The point I am trying to make is

; Ing the audience would not know the
" difference between the sacred and secu
lar music. It being the wild and woolly
west! Me would eeriainiy never nave
done this at Newport. He probably
needs a little Information aa to the mu-
aleal intelligence or roniana."
The writer goes on to assure me that
aha has seen "Tannhauser" given a
number of times In New York. IWesden
and Leipzig, and that she has made a
. special aiuay or inis opera in particu
lar.
After all, the point seems well taken,
for It ia true that Mr. Broome could
have selected other masterpieces Just as
exhibit! ve of bis mastery of nis instru
ment and-' more reverential in subject.
There la, anyway, a tendency in mod
ern days to put aside the quiet solem
nity of the church service and to Intro
duoe more stirring, up-to-date, viva
cious methods. It seems to be in keep
ing with the times. Sermons are given
, glaring red title to attract attention;
' churches advertise for attendants In the
same manner as atores advertise for
- customers; th most emotional songs
that will most quickly bring surface
flaan teara or Inspired shrieks are sunn.
And thla mar do well ot those who
like It Perhaps there are some people
who can be reached only by this meth
od. These, however, are not the onea
wbo ar going ta oe moved by tne in
spiring strains of the Tannhauser
march so quickly a by aom acreamlni
ballelalah song, or some mushy "I
Only Mother Could Be Her Boy Now"
onr. which calls only for the lurid 11
. lust rated canvasses of the vaudeville
theater to make th effect complete.
The worshiper who prefer to retain
th mors solemn aacredneas of the
weekly worahlp are no lens serious be
cause mors conaervatlve. And their
wthes should be respected, even by an
eastern organist who will appear her
but once, and may or may not yet have
mwmf ully gauged the musical Intel
ligence of Portland. Probably, however,
Mr. Broome erred qolte unintentionally,
and had not himself given a second'a
thouerht to the approprtatenee of his
bu nWver. although b ha been a player
In one of Newport' prominent churches!
for rears. Or perhaps the weekly eery.
Ire la tbe one time that Newport fssh-
loa takes to eoncat ttaeir in good i
etc. and so prefers auoh a number

of a large piano orchestra Is both novel
and interesting. I believe the greatest
