Thin is tlit; news that comes from the convention of the Sheet -Music Dealers ' association, in Chicago. The old melodies, stirring military marches and a few new sentimental lyrics are the best sell ers in America today, the dealers report.. It was a foregone conclusion that jazz would not last. It lacked the foundation necessary for stability. To call it music was a mis nomer, it couki uc (lescnoeil only as rliytmmc noise, coinpuralile m In the long lint of decisive ring bat tles through which the mantle worn by Sullivan . has passed duwn ;he years to the bronzed shoulders of Jack I 1 Icmtijiev. there l4 tin unfit ... .... in- SOme respects to the sounds produced by savages at their dances and j pare with that recounting the clash then hi left against the chu.ileni,'r jaw.

Uoth n.or. were on the floor when the referee began calling the seconds- Johnson got up. but Ketchel .remained pros trate and was counted out. religious ceremonies, but lucking the dignity which iiiay be found cveu in the beating of torn toms. The craze which Americans suddenly developed for dancing mid singing to (lie-noise of cow bells, sandpaper, police whistles, automo bile horns and other instruments which played so prominent a part in the jazz orchestra is one of those mysteries of modern civilization which must ever remain inexplicable to the music lover, although psychologists may be able to offer an explanation. The tenseness of modern life, one conjectures, got on the nerves of the people and they sought relief by breiihing loose from restraint. Something of the same sort has occurred in the other arts; in painting we find the night mares known as neo-inipressionism, cubism and futurism; in poetry the insane ravings put out as vers librc. They loo, will pass, as jazz s passing. Jazz was doomed because it rested on no orderly basis. It was so: monstrous that it could not be written. "Smear" was the technical term used by jazz performers to describe their method of working. Jazz exhausted the possibilities of noise, and there is nothing left, hut to return to melody and harmony. They are eternal, and are ade quate to supply the music craving of all normal minds. Syncopation will continue to have n place fn music, but the distortion eulled' jazz. is doomed. . ..." t ':.
