LEADING

EADING financial authorities are agreed that guaranteed real estate bonds offer a higher return than any other security of equal safety. They point out that the yield of highgrade railroad and industrial bonds has been steadily declining since 1921; and quote the experience of the great Life Insurance Companies to show that "the first mortgage on real estate has proved the most stable, conservative and best incomepaying investment, yielding year in and year out about 20% higher income than other securities.

remember, asked an old botanist, "How
does the sap climb to the top of that
tree?" The old man, tired of futile
questions, no doubt, said that he didn't
know. "What," exclaimed his ques-
tioner, "you, a scientist, can't explain
that?" "Oh, yes," said the old man,
"certainly I can explain it but, when I
get through explaining, I don't know."
I am not trying to explain the west-

ern drift. And, when I come to think of it, I do not know why I have written all this unless it is to reassure those Americans who think that we are to be overrun by Orientals. Can they not see that we are east of China, and that even the almond-eyed must, as some of us have been taught, approach the east by way of the west? It is a long way from China to California going west.

By LAWRENCE JACOB ABBOTT
NOTHER step has been made in
recorded music which, if not
directly in line with the phono-
graph, is so nearly so that it should be
mentioned here. That is the Vitaphone,
commented upon in an earlier issue of
The Outlook. It synchronizes music
with motion pictures. And in order to
do so it plays specially prepared phono-
graph records on a machine whose motor
is timed perfectly with the motor that
operates the motion-picture reels. The
records play for fifteen minutes without,
pause. The reproduction is on a more
complete scale than I have ever heard
before; there is decidedly more bass,
more volume.

music into movie theaters from coast to
coast should accelerate rather than re-
tard the demand for such music in the
home. As a result, we shall all have a
wider selection of "canned music" to
choose from.

This is "bullish" news for phonograph enthusiasts. Putting symphony orchestra recordings, operas, and instrumental

A short time ago New Yorkers had the pleasure of hearing Frederick Stock, as guest conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, play Goldmark's overture "In Springtime." But to those in the audience who were familiar with Stock's recording of it (Victor) his interpretation was no novelty. Nor, with slight exceptions, was the tonal effect of the full orchestra "in the flesh" a novelty. It was uncanny to realize how close to the original the reproduction had come. A further triumph for "new-style" records and machines!

Phonograph Records

VALSE TRISTE, “KUOLEMA" (Sibelius); SER-
ENADE (Volkmann) and FLIGHT OF THE
BUMBLE BEE (Rimsky-Korsakoff). Played
by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, con-
ducted by Frederick Stock. Victor.

This time of year seems to be the low
ebb of the musical season, in the minds
of our phonograph companies. A month
ago Toscanini's interpretation of Men-
delssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream"
music (Brunswick) stood out like an
oasis in a desert. This month there is
nothing outstanding. True, Frederick
True, Frederick
Stock and the Chicago Orchestra-a
conductor who ranks at the very top,
and one of the finest ensembles in the
country-give us ten minutes of note-
worthy performance. But their program
is lighter than the orchestra deserves.

"Valse Triste" and the "Bumble Bee" are excellent of their kind; Volkmann's "Serenade" is not made of as enduring stuff. In the Sibelius number Stock brings out eloquently the contrast between the slow, plaintive theme and the lighter, more rhythmic waltz figure. He is just as successful in putting fire into Rimsky-Korsakoff's orchestral tour de

'Triste"-and it is a pleasure to hear the bows "bite" the strings in the opening of the "Bumble Bee."

SEMIRAMIDE (Rossini).

Played by the British Broadcasting Company's Wireless Symphony Orchestra. Columbia.

The only other orchestral number of the month is this sparkling Rossini overture. We imagine that in its heyday it must have been whistled as frequently as "Valencia" has been the past season. The orchestra that plays it is not at all the perfunctory organization one might expect to hear under such a title. Although it has not the finish of a crack symphony orchestra, it gives an entirely enjoyable performance. The recording, too, is clear and strong.

PRELUDE IN A FLAT MAJOR (Chopin);
ETUDE IN C MINOR (Chopin) and WALTZ
IN A FLAT MAJOR (Brahms). Played by
Percy Grainger.

Columbia.

Grainger is more in his element, and appears to be enjoying himself more, when tackling the broad pianistic figures of the "Etude" than when he restrains himself to the mood of the "Prelude." But he is also able to give, as if for an encore to the "Etude," a simple rendition of the famous Brahms Waltz that exposes it in all its unassuming beauty.

HOTEL PLAZA

300 Rooms Havana, Cuba

300 Baths Invites You to the Alluring City of Havana-the Rose of Tropical Seas The Plaza, situated in Central Park, in close proximity to theaters, shops, and historic Old World sight-seeing trips, offers spacious rooms, with cool Spanish tile floors-the delightful idea of a reception-room on top floor-roof-garden-fine jazz band, vaudeville entertainment, dancing-public rooms, large and inviting-all the luxuries of the tropics. Excellent Cuisine Unusually Thoughtful Service For details, rates, booklets, or bookings write direct or to The Outlook Hotel and Travel Bureau. F. SIMON, Manager.

The piano recording is perhaps over-
resonant. It sounds better in the next
room than it does at close range. (This,
of course, applies only when played on a
new-style phonograph.)

GUNGA DIN (Kipling-Spross); BOOTS (Kipling-
Felman). Sung by Reinald Werrenrath. Vic-

tor.

"Gunga Din" is a disappointment.
The music is commonplace. But "Boots"
makes up for its partner's shortcomings
with an atmosphere and rhythm that
are irresistible. You can actually feel
the marching motion, hear the shuffling
feet as the Tommies swing down the
road. Werrenrath sings the ballads as
they should be sung-with the accent of
a dyed-in-the-wool Cockney, and with
more emphasis on the words than on the
music.

MANON-PLUS DE CHIMERES (Massenet); IL
BACIO (Arditi). Sung by Maria Kurenko.
Columbia.

"We'll have more

than enough to put

him through college"

"If we keep on buying Smith Bonds this way, and plowing back our interest to earn more interest, we'll have more than enough to put him through college. Isn't it wonderful that we can get such a good rate of interest with such strong security, and without any bother or worry?"

The Massenet aria is an agreeable slice MONEY, terest is compounded at a
GROWS surprisingly fast

from French opera. "Il Bacio" is in the
form of a whirling Viennese waltz, which
requires accurate voice control. This
Maria Kurenko has, but at the same
time her tone is not altogether pleasing.

MESSIAH-HALLELUJAH CHORUS (Handel),

sung by the Sheffield Choir; LAND OF HOPE
AND GLORY (Elgar-Benson), sung by Harold
Williams, with Band of H. M. Grenadier
Guards. Columbia.

The Sheffield Choir's "Hallelujah
Chorus" suffers sadly from comparison
with the Trinity Choir recording (Vic-
tor), which is, incidentally, the finest
chorus record I have heard. Tone, at-
tack, interpretation, are all inferior. The
song on the reverse of the disc, which
Elgar probably regrets having written by
this time, is sung indifferently well, with
impressive volume.

MELODY (Dawes); ROMANCE (Rubinstein-
Wieniawski). Played by Carl Flesch. Edison:
can be played only with Edison reproducer.

To Vice-President Dawes's expressive
little "Melody" and the melodious and
distinctly violinistic "Romance" Carl
Flesch has added a confident interpre-
tation. His tone is full and "throaty,"
especially in double-stopping.

Piano Rolls

HOMMAGE A RAMEAU (Debussy). Played by
Walter Gieseking. Ampico.

In this piece of reproduced music
Gieseking has shown himself a past-
master at interpreting Debussy. Under
his touch, Debussy's rich vague har-
monies make the sounding-board of the

when liberal rate.

For example, if you invest $50 a month, with interest compounded at 7%, in ten years you will have more than $8,600. This sum invested at 7% will give you an income of more than $50 a month; in other words, a monthly income greater than your monthly investment.

HE east of moon-lit turrets, pagodas, minarets-the land of Romance and Adventure-beckons the white man-tempts him with its weird oriental secrets and its one eternal, haunting mystery-the Indian heart. Have you felt the lure of its exotic splendor? Have the black shadows of its narrow streets made your heart stand still? What is this mystic, gripping enchantment that holds the white man's spirit in a vise? Why does India fire your imagination and fill your mind with fantastic dreams?

Your answer lies in the matchless tales of Kipling-India's Son. Rud

yard Kipling knows the east and the meaning of its call. From the depths of his intimate knowledge and his love for this land of his birth, have come the stories and poems that have made him famous. Wherever books are read The Universal Writer is a favorite. Not only because he is a master of every literary form he has ever used-poetry, short stories, letters, essays, fairy tales and novels-but because he is the supreme teller of tales. Kipling is, first of all, a story teller. And the story is what you want. You may easily tire of beautiful words-if the story is not there. You can not tire of Kipling-for the story is always there!
