Word has been received from Mr.
E. C. Hoot, violinist, of his return to
Medl'ord shortly. Mr. and Mrs. Root
are at present ill Minneapolis,
Tho dny of cheap, trashy music,
fajko musicians and (so-called -provisation
in the motion-picture play
houses is rapidly disapiearing.- The
educational value of these theaters
from a musical standpoint is won
derful. Just as thousands nrc being
taught tho great stories from the
classics, the greaj, pliilys nnd are
aided to travel on hind and sea to
tho remotest parts of tho glohe while
sitting comfortably iiv a cushioned
scut, just as they nro hearing and
becoming familiar with the works of
the old masters and the new, with
selections from the operas, grand
and light, compositions for orchestra
or piano, classical or semi-classical.
The possibilities for good in this way
nro unlimited. A musician who is
pleasing her hearers to a very great
extent is Miss Livermorc, nt one of
local playhouses. Miss Ltvennore
is a native daughter of Oregon, her
first instrueor being Miss Foulkes
of Portlund. Later she studied with
with one of Leschctizky's students.
For eight years Miss Livermore has
been perfecting her work as inter
pretner of the film stones, playing
in the larger cities of northern and
southorn California. True to type,
she ulso lias a fruit ranch near Sun
Joso where but that is really an
other story. Miss Liverniore's par
ticular distastois; for the faker and
his faking. 1 "With so much good
musia to select from why should we
be comellcd to listen to the 'improvi
sation' wljch must nearly always be
very interior to real music by real
earnestness of one with a purpose,
that of elevating her work to as high
a point of perfection as possible. "I
play right thru tho pictures," sho
adds, "as an interruption distracts
the attention and is not conducive to
the atmosphere the music is intended
to induce. The greatest compliment
I cun receive is that my audience
is so- interested in the piny they' do
not not'ee yfthc music particularly.
Then I know I have fulfilled my liy
sire the, music is part of; the story.
There is so much melodious- music
tlmkunyoiio -must enjoy why! should
we not.pjay that! All did t)ieuteri
by theiilhrgc cities consider potliing
tit tliq,bqs(, and the position-of or
ganist is filled by the mpst jexperij-
cneed fiTUt' capable musieiiinsj to be
Secured; : The orchestral j organ i
complicated. , but interesting fo exe
cute, j use , the Icgnlo toitch mostly
of course, but sometimes jn form lit'
sUicuuto, playing, where light work
is ncccsHorv, to give n dainty touch
and vary (lie tone. When the pic
tures are' good, the playing, is not
tiresome, because I put myself into
the work. When a certain decided
atmosphere is requisite, Lean play
for hours with no sense of fatigue.
That is what I enjoy the most. The
serious type of play offers the great
er opportunity for good music. A

wo ,may hnvo the pleasure qf hear
ing them at a laler date. ; Another
mutter of, great concern was the de
lay before the ,last number on , the
program, which was duo entirely to
lack, of prolessionnl help in the set
ting of the stage properties, tho men
