W

Rolls and Discs

By LAWRENCE JACOB ABBOTT

ILL musical taste change un

der the influence of the phonograph? If it does, it should be a change for the better. Many compositions, we wager, now tolerated because they are heard only at occasional concerts will-if obtained in record form-be struggled through a few times and then quietly stored in the attic. And others will win more of the appreciation they deserve.

Phonograph Records

MARCHE SLAVE (Tchaikowsky). Played by the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted
by Willem Mengelberg. In two parts, on one
record. Brunswick.

Two things are particularly worth
mentioning in connection with this rec-
ord. One is that Tchaikowsky's orches-
tral composition is played exactly as
written, in unabbreviated form. The
other is that the complete version is re-
corded on the two sides of a single disc.
This feat has been accomplished through
the new Brunswick light-ray recording,
which produces a record that plays for
six minutes without stopping. This is a
step, at least, in the right direction. The
ideal record, it has been said, is one
which will play for an hour or so without
interruption, so that a complete act of
an opera or an entire symphony can be
heard without the annoyance of chang-
ing discs. Ideal-unless a Bruckner
symphony were recorded! But for us, a
twenty-minute record would be entirely
satisfactory.

STAMMERING

If the stammerer can talk with ease when alone, and most of them can, but stammers in the presence of others, it must be that in the presence of others he does something that interferes; and if we know what it is that interferes, and the stammerer be taught how to avoid that, it cannot but be that he is getting rid of the thing that makes him stammer. That's the philosophy of our method of cure. Let us tell you about it.

sustained effects of strength, with rich, double-stopped chords. The recording itself is clear and faithful, reproducing the growling lower notes of the 'cello and the breathless softness with which the third movement begins.

SCOTCH STRATHSPEY AND REEL (Grainger). Performed by the Grainger Singers and Players, conducted by Frank Kasschau.

Something wholly different-and wholly irresistible. It is the Scotch equivalent of gypsy music or the war dances of the American Indians, and is replete with musical freshness. That, of course, is what we should expect from a Grainger setting.

TO A WILD ROSE; TO A WATER LILY-from
Woodland Sketches (MacDowell-arranged by
Stock). Played by the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by Frederick Stock.
Victor.

Two short MacDowell pianoforte pieces are here arranged for full symphony orchestra. Arrangement and rendition alike are excellent. Frederick

Stock, in doing both, exhibits rare tonal
command over his orchestra.
Yet we
somehow feel that the subject-matter is
not ideally fitted for such treatment.
MacDowell's sketches are miniatures,
and their charm as such is lost in the
powerful sonority of an orchestral per-
formance.

LIEBESTRÄUM (Liszt); NAYLA-Waltz (Delibes-
Dohnányi). Played by Wilhelm Bachaus;
recorded in Europe. Victor.

PRELUDE (Mana-Zucca); WALTZ IN E MINOR (Chopin). Played by Master Shura Cherkassky. Victor.

If the "Liebesträum" were not played so frequently at the "movies," we would perhaps be a less unsympathetic listener. Its sentimentalism is too apparent. "Naïla" is a pleasant concert waltz, but not particularly worth recording. And although Bachaus plays like the master pianist he is, the recording is only fair. In fact, Master Cherkassky gives us a more interesting musical dish. Immature in years, he manages to hide the fact quite well in his technique, poise, and mastery of expression. His piano sounds brilliantly crisp. While admitting that no piano records are so faithful to the instrument that any one could be attack of the strings in a symphony tually playing in the next room (which fooled into thinking a piano were ac

of a not too subtle piece. The martial
spirit dominates. The reproduction is
extraordinarily clear and free from dis-
tortion, though at the expense of some
loss of volume. Where the record is
weakest is in reproducing the bass. The
lower instruments sound distant and
weak-even in such climaxes as the in-
troduction of the theme of the Russian
national anthem. Aside from that, the
balance is perfect. And we have never
heard a better recording of the mass

orchestra.

QUARTET IN G MINOR-Opus 10, First and
Third Movements (Debussy). Played by the
New York String Quartet. In two parts, on
one record. Brunswick.

It is pleasurable to find a Debussy
chamber work recorded, even in incom-
plete form. Although much is lost by
not hearing the composition in its en-
tirety, the crisp, vigorous, musicianly
performance of the New York Quartet
compensates for much. The work
abounds in harmonic vagaries and in

can be said of some records), we will assert that a record such as this of Cherkassky's does give an illusion of the character and quality of a grand piano.

The pleasure, the keen joy that you derive from an outing in your launch is largely dependent upon your power plant-upon the absence of any little annoying troubles, and the smoothness and evenness of its operation.

On the above basis you will

find a Kermath Marine Motor the most constant and reliable companion that you can have with you on your tripswhether they be short pleasure trips or fishing and hunting trips of many days' duration.

For small or medium size launches the 1 and 2 Cylinder Kermaths of from 3 to 10 H. P. are ideal. Their economy of operation is phenomenal, while allaround upkeep costs are amazingly low.

Paul Robeson's voice is like a beautiful, mellow instrument through which he injects his warm personality. Lawrence Brown's accompaniments are very simple-and perfect.

CARMEN FANTASY (Bizet-Sarasate). Played by Bronislaw Huberman. In two parts, on one record. Brunswick.

A pot-pourri of "Carmen." It is good light music, but most of it is more interesting for its effective treatment of the violin than for the music itself. We like the rich viola-like quality of Huberman's low notes and the flute-like clearness of the very high register.

WALTZ IN G FLAT-Opus 70, No. 1 (ChopinSpalding); PERSIAN SONG (Glinka-Zimbalist). Played by Efrem Zimbalist. Victor.

In transcription for the violin, Chopin's waltz requires deft technique. It is gay and iridescent, interrupted by a slow, melodious theme which offers opportunity for double-stopped passages. The "Persian Song" is a simple piece, later embellished in a true violinistic

manner.

Piano Rolls

SUITE BERGAMASQUE-Prelude and Menuet (Debussy). Played by E. Robert Schmitz. On two rolls. Ampico.

Music from the fertile imagination of Debussy-played with zestful imagination. The two recordings are both delightful. The composer is no more modern than Bach, which means as modern as anybody, without being unpleasantly so!

VARIATIONS SÉRIEUSES (Mendelssohn). Played by Alfred Cortot. Ampico.

Mendelssohn must not be judged wholly on his youthful and spontaneous music of the vintage of his "MidsummerNight's Dream." The "Variations Sérieuses" show greater maturity. Although they may not have that priceless ingredient which sets the very greatest in music apart from the rest, they are the work of a thorough musician, and are full of musical interest in their weaving of a simple theme into new patterns and new moods. Much of the beauty of the piece lies in its performance by Cortot.

WEDDING MARCH AND ELFIN CHORUS

from "A Midsummer-Night's Dream" (Mendelssohn). Played by Wilhelm Bachaus. Duo-Art.

It is interesting to hear such pieces as Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," Schumann's "Träumerei," and Bach's "Air for G String" in their original setting, for they are too often heard apart from it. Liszt's transcription runs true to form in its power and sweep. The delicate elfin chorus music is played with dainty precision.

RHAPSODY IN BLUE-Theme in E Major (Gershwin). Played by Adam Carroll. Ampico.

Gershwin's rhapsody is still worth listening to. Carroll presents only part of the work, attempting to give it unity by revision, but the composition as written is more to our liking.

John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery, who not only gave the world a new science but also a new philosophy

1926 is the

Silver Jubilee Year of Davey Tree Surgeons

3000 people gathered in the State Armory at Akron (12 miles from Kent) on March 6, to participate in a great Silver Jubilee Celebration of The Davey Tree Expert Company-all for the purpose of paying a fitting tribute to John Davey, Father of Tree Surgery, who made a magnificent contribution to civilization.

25 years ago John Davey brought forth his first book, "The Tree Doctor," that was intended to awaken America to the appalling neglect and abuse of her invaluable trees. It was not his original purpose to found a great business, but rather to do a great service for his adopted country that he loved.

The Davey organization was a natural and logical outgrowth of the public demand that was created for the services of skilled and reliable Tree Surgeons. While the Davey organization itself is 25 years old, the science of Tree Surgery was born nearly a half century ago in the mind and heart of John Davey, who saw with understanding eyes the tragic and unnecessary loss of priceless trees. John Davey taught the philosophy of the tree as a living thing, as of elemental value to all life, as of incomparable beauty and loveliness. His was a voice crying in the wilderness, "Save your trees!"

The "dual" nature of the executive department of the Government of Texas is commented upon in the following verses taken from "The Lions' Roar," organ of the Austin, Texas, Lions' Club:

THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS
The Governor of Texas,
A dauntless one are they,
Though frenzied foes assail her,
He never shows dismay.

For erring folk in prison
Her tender spirit grieves;
But let them go to college,
And see him roll his sleeves!

Amid the envious clamor
Of those who seek her crown,
The Governor of Texas
Are not a bit cast down.

When rivalry malicious
Would hurl him on the shelf,
She bravely do their duty,
Regardless of themself.

The Klan may plot and bluster,
The Legislature blame,
But the Governor of Texas,
They gets there just the same.

Heretofore instruction of this sort was not obtainable in college, but had to be gleaned haphazardly from devious sources. The Faculty complied with the students' request, and two evenings a week are now devoted to lectures and discussion on marriage, with enthusiastic response and interest from the student body.
