A DAUGHTER OF THE SAMURAI. By Etsu Magaki Sugimoto. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. $3. A remarkable book in that it gives an intimate picture of Japanese home life, and also the impressions made upon a Japanese woman of culture and taste by American social manners. The author is one of a Samurai family who lived in a remote, and in winter snow-bound, part of Japan where old customs and ideas lingered. She came to America to be married to a Japanese business man who could not go to Japan for her. Her description of her child life is especially charming. Always she is gentle in tone and fair in her comments. The book is peculiarly attractive to women readers because of its countless detailed descriptions of the feminine side of Japanese life.

NEW YORK I Rolls and Discs By LAWRENCE JACOB ABBOTT N spite of the great improvement in the electrically produced records over the mechanical ones, there is no need to scrap all the old-style records. Some of the old ones, when played on one of the new phonographs, give remarkably good results. Details appear that never could be noticed on the ordinary phonograph. Of course the orchestra, with its variety of tone and its wide range of dynamics, sounds least effective on mechanical records. The piano, too, is a bugbear. But chamber music combinations and solo melodic instruments sound not at all badly-though even with them the difference is marked. Among the mechanical records we have heard on an "orthophonic" machine we remember a number which seemed almost as good as if they were electrically made. Especially the "Scheherezade," played by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Victor; the "Carnival of Animals," by Saint-Saëns, Columbia; the Septet of Ravel, Columbia; the Brahms D Minor Sonata, played by Catterall and Murdoch, Columbia. BARBER OF SEVILLE-OVERTURE (Rossini). Played by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Rudolph Ganz. Electrically recorded; in two parts, on one record. Victor. PIQUE DAME-OVERTURE (Von Suppé). Played by the Capitol Grand Orchestra, conducted by David Mendoza. Electrically recorded; in two parts, on one record. Brunswick. A varied array of overtures. None of the three constitutes a particularly heavy musical diet; "In Springtime" has less whipped cream and more nourishment than the other two. Its performance by the Chicago Orchestra, long associated with the name of Theodore Thomas, is colorful and expressive. "The Barber of Seville" is in the melodic Italian style. The ensemble playing of the St. Louis Orchestra records unusually well, probably because of the predominance of stringed instruments. The violins have a hard tone, but a clear and crisp attack. Undoubtedly, the Chicago and St. Louis Orchestras will turn a glance of pitying scorn at any one who places them side by side with a "movie" orchestra. But, though the Capitol Grand Orchestra of New York lacks some of the finesse and tonal beauty of the better symphony orchestras, it is a highly re spectable organization. It plays the rol- CONCERTO NO. 1 IN G MINOR-for Violin and All three movements abound with pas- SONATA IN A MAJOR-for Violin and Piano Franck's finely wrought melody is QUINTET IN G MINOR (Mozart).

Texas 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. If then we know what it is that interferes, and the stammerer be taught how to avoid that, it must 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. SCHOOL FOR STAMMERERS, Tyler, Texas tion to the string quartet of another viola. MENUET (Bach-Winternitz); GAVOTTE (Beethoven-Kramer). Played by Fritz Kreisler. Electrically recorded. Victor. Bach in a light mood. The "Menuet" is joyous song, touched with a bit of minor. Beethoven's "Gavotte" is in much the same spirit. Kreisler's playing is distinguished by his usual sympathetic, almost spiritual interpretation. We were pained to notice, where the piano accompaniment was prominent, a piano tone far from true. HUNTING SONG FROM ROBIN HOOD (De Koven); THE SWORD OF FERRARA (Bullard). Sung by the Associated Glee Clubs of America. Electrically recorded. Columbia. Once we overheard some one ask in a phonograph store whether there was any device to record one's favorite radio selections. Until such a device is made one must be content with such records as this and its companion, "Adeste Fideles" and "John Peel," recorded at a concert in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. It is not a perfect piece of recording, but it is vivid and masculine and exhibits impressive volume. Piano Rolls FANTASY OF TODAY (Confrey). Played by Zez Confrey. Ampico. Wherein Zez Confrey proves his case for the contribution of jazz to musical literature-in its treatment of musical ideas and in pianoforte technique--and wherein he also exposes some of the weaknesses of his idiom. The fantasy is really a set of variations, first in accepted style, then in jazz. The jazz part is ushered in with an irresistible swing, and contains the intricate rhythms with which Confrey several years ago blazed the trail for jazz in concert form. Altogether a most interesting piece of composition. FLIRTATION IN A CHINESE GARDEN; RUSH HOUR IN HONG KONG (Chasins). Played by Frank Sheridan. Ampico. Chasins is a young American composer who has recently received no little attention from the musical world. These pieces are light and fantastic. Everything supposedly Chinese must, according to tradition, be patterned after a certain mold. The first is; the second fairly Wanted Cartoons bulges out of its confines on all sides.

The Outlook for March 3, 1926 TH By the Way HE Catholic Actors' Guild recently staged a contest with a prize-winning reward of a trip to Europe. A member of the Jewish Actors' Guild won out. He is sailing on a boat commanded by a Presbyterian and owned by an Episcopalian. The Ohio "State Journal" says that it will believe that Secretary Hoover has no further political ambitions when he gets the shoe manufacturers together and insists that the number of models for females now on the market, which we understand is 897, be cut down to four in the interest of efficiency and economy. Felix Isman tells an amusing story of the psychology of gamblers. Two men went to a gambling-house and played for some hours. When they left, one berated the other: "Why didn't you do as I told you? You wouldn't have lost." "But," said the other, "you lost just as much as I did." "Yes, I did, but mine lasted longer than yours." The day after the coal strike settlement the New York "Graphic" came out with headline streamers on both the front and back pages-"GRAPHIC SETTLES COAL STRIKE." It is too bad Bernarr Macfadden hadn't started his paper before the World War commenced. He has claimed almost everything now except the discovery of America. The classified exchange advertising sections of the New York tabloid newspapers contain a great preponderance of offers to trade encyclopædias and sets of standard authors for radio equipment. Howard Brubaker writes: "According to a report, the Democrats are thinking of making a political issue out of the Italian debt settlement. They are not yet certain whether the terms are too hard or too easy, but they intend to be pretty bitter about it." A stitch in time saves embarrassment. A penny saved is subject to taxation.

Cigarette sales increased by nine billion last year. The official sales figures for the year just closed were 79,959,234,000. While cigarettes gained heavily, cigars fell off. The number of cigars sold in 1925 were 6,921,328,000. She: "I wonder who invented that superstition about Friday being an unlucky day?" He: "Oh, some poor fish." "Abie's Irish Rose" has been playing on Broadway, New York City, for five years. The end is not yet in sight. Nevertheless Miss Anne Nichols, author of the phenomenon, is preparing its successor. This will be called "Abie's Children." All of which calls to mind Bob Benchley's prediction that we would soon have a revival of "Abie's Irish Rose" in modern clothes. Johnnie, when asked by his people to define "deficit," said: "A deficit is what you've got when you haven't as much as if you had had just nothing." "The Prisoner's Song," that woeful dirge that you have been hearing every time you turn your radio dial, has reached the 800,000 mark in sheet-music sales. One million phonograph records of it have been sold. Guy Massey, the previously unknown author, died just as the enormous royalties began to come in. Tin Pan Alley now says that Massey had to die to put his song over, while Irving Berlin made "Remember" a hit simply by getting married. The names of Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin have been admitted to the New York Social Register. Paul Whiteman and his orchestra will receive $5,000 for a one-hour program to be broadcast over the radio late in March. He has previously refused $8,000 to play for radio listeners, and is only consenting this time because he is leaving the country for a year, and is no longer afraid that if people hear his orchestra free of charge they will not buy tickets for his concerts. The following incident was considered first-page news by the great New York "World:" Two friends at dinner in a midtown club last night discussed the romance of a mutual acquaintance. "Alice is pretty fond of him, isn't she?" said one. "She's head over heels in love with him," rejoined the other. "She's quit drinking, she's quit smoking, she's quit swearing." And he wasn't joking when he said it. There are now on file at the Department of Commerce, Washington, 385 applications from prospective broadcasters for "any kind of a wave-length" that can be secured. If either the White Bill or the Dill Bill becomes a law, all existing broadcast licenses will be canceled, and every one who has ever thought of having a broadcast station is getting his application in now. This country now has 536 broadcasting stations. There are only 276 stations in all the rest of the world. O, MLE, what XTC I always feel when UIC.
