Her sense of comedy is equal to her ability As a trag Dienne and in the earlier scenes she keeps the Audi ence in peals of delighted laughter. Towards the end of the play by her own Power she holds the audience through poorly written tragic scenes convinces them of the import Ance of the very Small affair. She makes something Fey and elfin and greatly tragic out of a character that might easily is merely impertinent and Clumsy. She seems with out doubt the greatest personality on the stage today. Before going to see miss Bergner i went to the last night of sir Oswald Stoll s Golden toy that has been running eight months. I was bored tears. There were three revolving stages a trained elephant Anc Over 200 in the cast. The trainee elephant got the most applause. To nearly three hours the. Revolving stage revolved and choruses Anc principles ran Back and Forti through Indian streets the Vallej of broken blossoms and Ancien temples. Peggy Ashcroft the Star figured she had run nearly five Miles a week during the piece. This lon Don spectacle is without Doub the stupidest affair in the world quite out classing the movie musics comedies for preposterous Ness and Lack of wit. The names in lights along shafts Bury Avenue Are almost to visitors from the Distant col Elisabeth Bergner Marie tempest Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon Tanne and until recently Ina Claire and Noel Coward twinkle within a of each other and not too far away Are Leslie Banks and Jack Buchanan. The rarest treat of All however is just outside the the exquisite open air theatre at Regent s Park is packed every night. I saw the comedy of errors boisterously and amusingly produced there but it was Rios particularly suited to outside production. Following it on the same evening was Milton s Majestic masque in Praise of chastity. Comus. Although the audience laughed delightfully now and then at Milton s thundering periods in Praise of virginity. They gave in eventually to the unearthly Beauty of the production acid the magic sound of the to is verse beautifully spoken. Close to the audience out of the Black emptiness of the Trees a Pale Blue Light grew then surrounded its Centre Jove and attendant Spir its performing a slow Majestic dance before Hirry. Thyrsis in Blue and Silver appeared from nowhere and was sent to Earth. As the dance proceeded the Light faded and the figures disappeared with it. A dazzling White Light flashed in. The Cen tre of the greensward and thrusts stood telling of his task. The sounds of revelry were heard and he disappeared As suddenly As he had come. Distant among the Black Trees red and flame coloured Clouds of Light grew and grew disclosing Comus and his Bachic rout advancing and increasing in numbers As they approached the Glade. As they whirled in their mad dance the stage was filled with purple and yellow Light and tha stems of the old Trees waved Scarlet leaves above them. The lights grew and decreased flared and faded and changed color As the sensual Drunken to Auer went on. Then suddenly it broken by the voice of the Maiden lost in the Woods. As they withdrew the stage darkened and they disappeared through the Forest in slowly fading masses of Light. The masque progressed and after Comus had led away the maid Thyrsis appeared again High among the Trees in Blue and Silver Light swiftly advancing seeming to bring the Bright clean colors with him. Then the Black limbs of the Trees seemed crowned not with leaves but Green Light. In this Way the whole masque was performed the characters making r compan led the speeches with slow Al most unconscious continuous move ments of perfect Grace. The ballets of monsters and water nymphs and to Pitts were arranged by Nln theil Ade and Michael Martin Harvey who has appeared in Winnipeg with his father and who is now gaining reputation for this sort of work. The ballets russes have been rapturously received in their Odeniu performances and seem ail set for a one of the leading that Riabouchinsk Long season. Critics stated who is sixteen this year.

To my mind. The. Biggest difference Between the the differ ent nations is not in the rhythm or time but in the length of the sen tence. In English Folk tunes everything is Well balanced there is an absence of eccentric intervals or striking and energetic rhythms the dance tunes imply an equal flow of joyous contented spirits rather than the concentration of muscular Energy evidenced in the vehement gestures and. Stamping of the rus i have made this into a song so As sians and the poles and of any South not to forget j Edward Macdowell went right Back to the Savage beginnings of vocal expression in his efforts to find the origin of folksong and gave three sources continued the lecturer. I rhythm alone developing gradually through stages of Shorter and longer scraps of rhythm reiterated inces Santly until it gradually developed into the balanced sentences of real Folk song. 2 the Savage howl Start ing on a High sound and descend ing to a Low one. 3 the Rise of the voice to give Tongue to the emotional Rise of feeling first in Sharp leaps of eighths and fifths and Ihen gradually adding other the scale pen Natonie the remaining aborigines indians maoris african negroes on the Earth s surface still. Follow these primitive ideas. Those of us who have been brought up near the indians the speaker herself lived her Young life in a Hudson s Bay Home surrounded by them can recall the tiresome i Yah he Yah repeated and nausea All through the night. Also we had an example of the howl Motif from or. Verbrugghen in his Maori role be played by the Minneapolis symphony orchestra he always it is an encore. I think the whole orchestra fell Down the scale at the end. Or was it Only the brass a very1 Beautiful example of this is Carmen s songs Spanish folksong which Bizet has incorporated in his opera to lira air was Hereupon Sung by mrs. D. J. De we can see quite plainly that the howl is the genesis of the falling in Flection and of course we can easily understand that the inflection of the voice will Rise under stress of Emo Tion. As Man became More observant he must surely have been influenced by sounds in rising to arid falling from a Climax the wind in All its varied nuances especially when it plays with Trees and water echoes Bird notes Etc. But the human elements of passion will and emotion developed expression through sound and have Laid the aesthetic foundation for. All music. When the musical inflection rhymes with the words when speech finds its emotional reflection in the music we have reached the highest development of Folk music. Gradual development now traces of. The three elements mentioned rhythm the howl or descending scale and the emotional rising of the to be found in every Folk song known and we May even Trace their influence in modern music the most primitive or West being the one note Type and the highest being the emotional Ype. In the rhythmic or one note rhythms Are necessarily Short and repeated inces Santly illustrating at the Black the next Steps came with scraps of Melody Sung Over and just As children catch at a Little bit of rhythmic tune and go around re a it endlessly making up Ern miss Robertson then alluded to swedish Folk tunes of which three Beautiful examples from a collection arranged by Gustav Hagg were played at the plan o by mrs.

Edmond Sang songs of the British Isles including two Welsh ones in the original Tongue and Germany was regarded As not hav ing True Folk or. Communal music it was rather the work of trained musicians observed the lecturer before introducing a Young i ukrainian Singer Jean Kuczer who presented in their own language three v songs of the Ukraine. Following a reference to the folksong influence in instrumental music Marjorie Dillabough played the melodies from the second rhapsody of Liszt with its Lassu and Friska. Historical How indissolubly music belonged to life was stressed by Aileen Motley during a talk on the historical Back ground of musical development. She quoted an essayist s1 remark that All great movements in thought or in Art depended not Ori the enthusiasm of the multitude which in itself was nearly always wrong but on the earnestness of the few which he called the her comprehensive Survey began with the unorganized shouts wailing whining bellowing a and came Down the Cen Turies to twentieth Century realism impression the revolt against sentiment and romanticism.

Ali e drumming of the ruffed grouse in the Early Days of this column a considerable correspondence was car ried on by readers regarding the drumming of the ruffed grouse the Bird incorrectly called by old time sportsmen and conflicting. Views were expressed As to How this mysterious Spring Call was. Produced. The drumming sounds much like b motor Cycle in starting. Up getting under Way and departing quickly out of hearing. It is usually represented by the words chump and one easily imagine drummer eating the same Roll Over and. Over j. Again if the motor Cycle be an unacceptable comparison. Fred j. Rogers Hillside Beach. Man " brings up the subject again and As his description of what he saw and heard is excellent and his final con delusion a debatable Point we present his letter to our. Readers on the night of May Tom and i had t Fortune to observe a male ruled grouse in courtship display arid to note in detail How the drumming sound was produced. A Large Rock in a piece of Wood land not far from our House was selected by the drummer for his nightly performance. Screened by a growth of Small aspens it was still sufficiently open to give us a. Clear View Bird Ori its natural stage. The Rock. six feet Square and four. Feet.High.-. Before beginning its drumming the male ruffed grouse would ruffle Bis feathers stretch his body to Hia limited height and set his Tail Flat on the Rock presumably to act As a Brace for his body. Then bringing its wings Down in Graceful arcs it began to beat a lowly at first then ing1 again and increasing in Speed until the wings were blurred with the rapidity of the motion and the body 6, my. Shaken by the intensity of the mus Cular Effort. The whole performance lasted Only a few seconds and the sound died away like the last feeble f of a Gas engine. The action f resembles a Tarzan or an ape beating f its breast in its War play. I the Tail is used for nothing but j a Brace to keep the body erect to give play to the wings that Are brought Down wards against the body to Send out tie muffled rolling drumming so familiar to All Woods travellers. Binoculars were used at a. About thirty Yards and the. Whole perform Ance was noted clearly by both of us. A log or Rock is chosen to give the body stability and provide a support for the Bird s tall. The grouse does _ not beat the air with its wings As is generally supposed but its body and he Tail remains other observers have claimed that the sound is produced by the Bird striking its wings together either in front or behind and that the final part of the sound is made by the rattling of the Tail feathers. Some woodsmen claim that a helps to produce the booming tone and others deny this. Altogether it is a most interesting question. What have present readers to say. About it the accompanying picture is e Rie example of Bird photography her difficult surroundings it shows male ruled grouse about to com Erice his rolling Call body erect Ruff miffed out tall stiff and widespread and wings ready to vibrate.
