Overheard on a platform, as a freight train went by: "Veen de little red car comes along, de train's all any more, ain't, Mom?"

A bishop recently addressed a large assembly of Sunday-school children, and wound up by asking, in a very paternal way:

"And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to ask me a question?"

A thin, shrill voice at the back of the room called out, "Please, sir, why did the angels walk up and down Jacob's ladder when they had wings?"

"Oh, ah, yes-I see," said the bishop. "And now, is there any little girl who I would like to answer that question?"

The amounts invested in municipal advertising is greater than ever before. A long list is at hand, but just spotting a few indiscriminately is indicative of the rest. For example the following cities have annual appropriations for community advertising:

Atlanta, $1,000,000; Los Angeles, $1,000,000; Chattanooga, $250,000; Savannah, $50,000; Dallas, $50,000; Portland, $300,000; Seattle, $75,000; San Francisco, $140,000; Norfolk, $250,000.

From the Boston "Transcript:"

Rich Little Girl (seeing some poorly cared for children go by): "Poor little things! They have no nurses-only moth-ers."

Roadhouses and inns on the post roads near New York are said to use parked cars as decoys. They employ orchestras whose members drive individual cars. When the unknowing see several automobiles in front of an eating-place they feel that it is one of the popular resorts.

"Ever'thing else is changin' so much that I no longer feel at home anywhere 'cept at a circus," says Abe Martin.

"A good journalist," according to a reviewer in the "Nation and Athenæum" in London, "is one who can expand the material for a paragraph into a whole article, but never does so if he can avoid it; who is widely informed, but respects the limits of his information; who is violent in expressing his opinions, but reasonable in forming them; and who seeks to win the agreement of his readers, but would rather inspire their indignation than their indifference."

The Sunday school teacher, says "Life," asked the children what other qualities they should pray for besides honesty, truthfulness, obedience, and so forth. "Sales-resistance!" piped up one little

boy.

From an Exchange:

Jake: "What made ye leave, Si?"

Si: "It happened at breakfast this mornin', Jake, and I'd do it ag'in if I had to do it over. Mrs. Brown was busy bakin' cakes, an' when I took three or four, she stopped and looked straight at me an' said: 'Si Simpkins, do you know that's the twenty-fifth pancake you're eatin'?' and it made me so mad, I jest got up from the table an' went off without my breakfast."

A small boy was taken by his father to Washington to visit Congress. He was much interested in the chaplain, who always opened the sessions with a prayer. Both in the Senate and the House he had observed this procedure. Finally he asked: "Papa, why does the minister come in every day and pray for Congress?"

"You've got it all wrong, son," replied his father. "The minister comes in every day, looks over Congress, and then prays for the country."

From the "Christian Science Monitor:"

For sheer non-committalism, the two little Negro boys who couldn't read take the cake. Sambo had received a book from the Christmas tree, and was being questioned by his little friend, Rastus.

"Boy, what's de name ob yo' book?" Sambo scrutinized the title knowingly, then shoved the book under Rastus's nose, saying, "Dar yo' is!"

Rastus took a good look, and exclaimed, "Sho is, isn't it?"

"Ah don't ride on dem things," said the old colored lady, looking at the merry-goround. "Why, de other day Ah seen Rastus Johnson git on an' ride as much as a dollah's worth an' git off at the very same place he got on at, and Ah sez to him 'Rastus,' Ah sez, 'you spent yo' money, but wha yo' been."

The "New Yorker" tells the true story of an elderly gentleman whose life has been spent in the service of a large business house, where without appreciable promotion, he has toiled at the mailing-desk for some forty dollars a week. Possibly because of unfulfilled desires, he had grown to look like a captain of industry, and lately has discovered that he can pick up extra money posing for illustrations of success advertisements. During the noon hour he often slips over to the studio of a commercial photographer, sits down splendidly at a large mahogany desk, poses as a business executive who is saying to one of his men: "Simmons, I want you to take charge of our Argentine branch," and gets back to his mail desk by two o'clock.

The president of his company, we are told, looks like a little old Western Union messenger.

T

HE number of musical persons who take phonograph music seriously is steadily and rapidly growing. People who used to think records suitable only for marches and minuets now enjoy their sonatas and symphonies in "canned" form.

But there is an annoying drawback to the enjoyment of the longer forms of music. That is the necessity of stopping in the middle of a piece to change records. Not even the remarkable new Automatic Victrola can play a symphonic movement without interruption. And even more disturbing than the bother of turning over the disc is the musical suspense of having the music chopped off in mid-air. Some conductors-Mengelberg, for example-are content to end a record in the middle of a phrase, showing more respect for the bar line than for the musical thought which it houses. Enough to make any musician fidgety!

Is there a solution? One way of lessening the drawback would be to insist on ending a record only on a cadence that is satisfying at least to a degree-and to acquiesce in a slight revision in the music, if no temporary stopping place already exists in the score.

Phonograph Records

TRIO NO. 1 IN B FLAT, Opus 99 (Schubert). Played by Alfred Cortot, Jacques Thibaud, and Pablo Casals. In eight parts, on four records. Victor.

To the concert goer it is a rare evening when three such consummate artists as Cortot, Thibaud, and Casals can be heard together. It is rare enough on the phonograph. But it is the phonograph's advantage that the permanence of its recording makes it possible to arrange for superlative performances. All too often this advantage has been made use of by transforming our finest singers and instrumentalists into purveyors of popular ditties. All too seldom has it given us all-star performances of chamber music.

In these records of the Schubert B Flat Trio there is double cause for thanks. For the performers combine individual excellence with a proper feeling for ensemble playing. In other words, the music does not suffer from the insubordination of any player. This is as it should be-yet in many cases solo work spoils a performer for the niceties of ensemble playing. In this respect the recording is like a performance at a concert of New York's Beethoven Association, where star soloists play or turn pages for their fellow artists with equal enthusiasm and sense of team-play. Although not tremendously distinctive, the trio is a delightful one. Where could you find a more tranquil beauty than in the second movement. Even in the gaily tripping scherzo, Schubert cannot avoid his singing melodiousness. The recording is pleasurably good-clear, true, and wellbalanced.

SYMPHONY NO. 9 IN D MINOR, Opus 125 (Beethoven). Played by Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Albert Coates. In sixteen parts, on eight records. Victor. Coates's interpretation of the Beethoven Ninth is not conventional, but he carries

By LAWRENCE JACOB ABBOTT

off the performance with such eloquence that it cannot help but be convincing. It is interesting to compare this set with the Weingartner performance issued by Columbia. Weingartner has tackled the symphony with the attitude of the craftsman; he is deliberate, detached, careful of detail; he carves out his phrases with precision. Coates supplies a more intense and dramaric reading. This naturally leads him into a faster tempo in many parts of the symphony-especially in the scherzo, which has an electrifying sweep of motion. The only place where Weingartner's slower tempo seems to me definitely more effective is the opening of the first movement, with its suggestion of foreboding. The Coates version has been somewhat more successful than the other in recording the choral part of the symphony. Both soloists and chorus are more convincing. It is hard to say how much is due to the performers and how much to the recording. In the recording of the orchestra there is not much to choose between the two, but the balance is slightly in favor of Weingartner. His strings have a softer, more velvety quality, and his tone is rounder.

Played by

REFLECTIONS ON THE WATER (Debussy);
CHANT D'AMOUR (Stojowski).
Ignace Jan Paderewski. Victor.
ETUDES, Opus 10, No. 12 and No. 7: VALSE IN
A MINOR, Opus 34, No. 2 (Chopin). Played
by Ignaz Friedman. Columbia.
PRELUDE IN G MINOR: PRELUDE IN C
SHARP MINOR (Rachmaninoff). Played by
Ethel Leginska. Columbia.

You will not be disappointed in the Paderewski disc. The shimmering, colorful Debussy selection alone is justification for acquiring the record. Friedman's choice of a Chopin program, as well as his playing, is commendable. I should be perfectly satisfied if no more recordings were made of the two etudes-he fills the bill so admirably. The valse he plays dreamily, "in a contemplative fashion"-yet without becoming oversentimental. Ethel Leginska's playing has no braggadocio. It stresses the music rather than the musician-and, consequently, it brings freshness to the poor, overworked Rachmaninoff preludes. She does not seem bored with the C Sharp Minor, as Godowsky does in his recording.

THE

MAGIC FLUTE OVERTURE (Mozart). Played by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham. In two parts, on one record. Columbia.

An engaging performance of Mozart's cheerful overture. The precision of the orchestra is something that all orchestral records should have. The recording is unusual in its clearness, balance, and tone; if it lacks anything, it is the subtle atmosphere of reality-the illusion of the concerthall.

COPPELIA BALLET-Prelude and Mazurka (Delibes); DERNIER SOMMEIL DE LA VIERGE (Massenet). Played by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Henri Verbrugghen. Brunswick. COPPELIA BALLET-Dance of the Automatons and Waltz (Delibes); CAPRICE VIENNOIS (Kreisler). Played by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Alfred Hertz. Victor.

Delibes occupies the same place in the ballet as Johann Strauss does in the waltz. "Coppélia Ballet" is light and frivolous music, but graceful-and it is hard to listen to it without imagining the motion of the ballet.

Verbrugghen gives a swinging, rhythmic performance, but it is difficult to judge the record fairly because of an unpleasant blemish in the recording on the forte upper notes which produces the tone of an overloaded loudspeaker. Hertz plays his share charmingly. The Massenet number gives the Minneapolis Orchestra

a

chance to show a meltingly soft string tone. In "Caprice Viennois," the San Franciscans venture on the uncertain ground of transcription, and emerge remarkably well, avoiding an orchestral style.

NIGUN (IMPROVISATION)-from "Baal Shem" (Bloch). Played by Joseph Szigeti, Columbia.

When writing his "Baal Shem" Bloch was not experimenting with quarter-tones. He still enjoyed solid tonality. In "Nigun" there is an oriental tang combined with an irrelevance which produces an untamed flavor. It is appropriately played, not only by the violinist, but by the pianist, too, who has really more than an accompaniment.

merous.

Recordings of songs by the great song writers of the past century are not too nuThese two of Schubert's should be welcome. The selection from "Rinaldo" is marked by dignified simplicity. All are sung with intelligence and without affectation.

ANDANTE CANTABILE-from Quartet, Opus 11 (Tchaikovsky); THEME AND VARIATIONS -from The Emperor Quartet (Haydn). Played by the Elman String Quartet. Victor. It is forgivable to lift a movement from a quartet when it is such a perfect piece of quartet writing as Haydn's variations on his Austrian Hymn. But it is a shame to omit half the variations. Elman's quartet, romantically inclined, has a smooth, wellbalanced tone. The recording is superb. BORIS GODOUNOW-In the Town of Kazan (Moussorgsky); PRINCE Prince Galitsky (Borodin). Chaliapin. Victor.

IGOR-Song of Sung by Feodor

MEFISTOFELE-Dai campi, dai prati; Giunto sul passo estremo (Boito). Sung by Beniamino Gigli. Victor. LA JUIVE-Rachel! quand du Seigneur la grâce (Halevy); LE CID-6 souverain, ô juge, ô père! (Massenet). Sung by Charles Hackett. Columbia. d'amore (Gounod); FAUST-Le parlate DON CARLOS—0 don fatale (Verdi). Sung by Margarete Matzenauer. Victor. Space limitations forbid all but a listing of these opera selections. I recommend the Chaliapin disc as being different, as steeped in the Russian idiom, and as sung with fitting recklessness.

Piano Rolls

HUNGARIAN-Opus 39, No. 12 (MacDowell). Played by John Powell. Duo-Art.

One of a series of twelve etudes for the development of technique, "Hungarian" has all the fire and syncopation of a Brahms Hungarian Dance. John Powell whirls it through its brief course with the impetuosity of a tornado.

TURQUIE—“Au Jardin de Vieux Serail," Opus 18, No. 3 (Blanchet). Played by Irwin Nyiregyhazi. Ampico.

There is oriental atmosphere in this piece, but not the hackneyed "oriental" touches. The composer shows an interesting harmonic sense, but becomes too orchestral in his climax. It is brilliantly played.

ON THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE DANUBE-Arabesque on Strauss Waltz (Schulz-Evers). Played by Josef Lhévinne. Ampico. An ornamental version of the Blue Danube that calls to mind the Mid-Victorian house with its "gingerbread" decoration. But why not? It surely carries the atmosphere of the Viennese carnival. Lhévinne introduces a teasing lilt.

With this startling and epoch-making change in the timedimensions of our globe, traveling has become an essential of a full life. Men and women find it necessary to-day to know their way about Egypt and Greece, Alaska and Brazil, California and Japan as their fathers and mothers did about the streets of their own home towns.

For many years The Outlook has maintained a Travel Bureau designed to smooth away even such difficulties as remain in the way of travelers in strange lands. That Travel Bureau is in the hands of one who is thoroughly competent to respond to the needs of readers of The Outlook, whether those readers contemplate a week-end trip or a world tour.

As a reminder of the service which The Outlook stands ready to render its readers I propose to publish from time to time views of some of the modern wonders which await the traveler's eye. To the places pictured, to any place your fancy dictates, The Outlook stands ready to help you find the easy path. Within the past few months over three thousand readers have taken advantage of the service of our Travel Bureau. May we not have a chance to serve you some time during the coming year?

He was a consulting engineer on the Isthmian Canal and also to the Chinese Government, and has served as President of both the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. As will be seen from his article, Mr. Freeman has made an extensive personal study of the problems of the Mississippi.
