the savage breast wrote congreve and dryden added what passion cannot music raise and quell we say that a man may be known by the company he keeps and it is equally true that he may be known by the music he likes king saul did not like the sweet music that young david played to him on the harp and he threw a dagger at the lad which fortunately missed its mark the king did not want his savage breast soothed for he was nursing a hatred against david because of his success in slaying goliath with a pebble while he himself had failed to vanquish him with the sword hitler was fond of music but not of the soothing kind he preferred the bombastic and hysterical strains of wagner this can be well under stood but i cannot understand why such outbursts of barbaric passions can appeal to civilized and peace- loving people yet they seem to be popular with the patrons of the metropolitan opera company in new york and their blasts of hate and savage passions are broadcast on the radio for several hours on saturday afternoons the purveyors and patrons of these screaming grand operas affect to despise the soap operas which entertain housewives over the dishwashing but the only difference between the two is one of intensity the soap opera deals with modern domestic squabbles usually arising out of matrimontial mixups or the threecornered love affairs of a moronic daughter grand operas deal with the same situations and characters on a higher social level pitched in a higher key and their sexcrazed wranglings usually rise to the crescendd of a drunken brawl ending in the deathgroan of the villain or the swan song of the dying hero tragedy is a phase of human life and it comes legitimately within the realm of music and the drama as well as art and literature when it is exaggerated in a play we call it melodrama which borders on the farce and it is regarded as a low brow form of entertainment yet when tragedy is exaggerated and worked up to a maniacal pitch of melodrama in grand opera the so- called highbrows of music go into ecstasies over the performance if the soap operas are silly some of the grand operas are crazy restraint is the prime essential of true creative art whether it be inuic drama painting or poetry but it is the one thing that is lack ing in much of the art of today this lack is shown in the glut of sense less verbiage that appears in the name of poetry in art gallery exhibits of impressionist paintings and in the discordant noises that pass for modern symphonies what a gulf of chaos lies between these latter and the works of beethoven mozart schubert mendelssohn strauss sullivan and the other masters of melody i sometimes wonder why it is that there are no such supreme artists in the world today they eem to have been great souls wtio visited our planet lauded by duchess the prettiest girl ive seen in a lohg long time thats what the duchess of windsor said about margaret marshall canada of 1917 shown here but she didnt know she was complimenting the canadian beauty she was talking about an usherette in new yorks car negie hall now a student at the academy of dramatic arts in manhattan attending under a scholarship margaret has taken an evening job as usher ette at the famous old concert hall at a toscanini concert re cently the duke and duchess turned up with a french com panion occupying a box when the concert came to a close she stood outside the door of the dukes box to get a better look as the trio left the duchess smiled at margaret and whisper ed something to her companion why dont you tell her that yourself the frenchman asked then he took margaret by the elbow and said the duchess has just told me youre the pret tiest girl shes seen in a long long time z deplores people rejecting gospel bach year more and more people reject the gospel in favor of humanism rev w j walker of gait told a meeting of the presby terian synod of toronto and king ston at knox church waterloo it is for the ministry to speed up the progress of the church this progress now is very slow he cautioned the faith of jesus christ is the rock on which humanism can be split and it is this same humanism that results in the growth of com munism rev mr walker warned that humanism practical paganism will not save the world perhaps it is the fault of the ministry perhaps they are working around the prob lem instead of on it perhaps our sermons lack conviction the church with its disciples ls asleep we must wake up and re- iwaken the faith that is in every average man he said to bring us airs of heaven to lift us above our cares and sorrows into the serene realms of the spirit and immortality wagner on the other hand may have brought blasts from hell the effect of his muie on the ger man leaders and people was cer tainly infernal as revealed in the fiendish hate and brutal atrocities of the two world wars for which they were responsible in striking contrast there was the light and melodious music and pawky humor of the gilbert and sullivan operas the sentimental strains of the bohemian girl and the many musical comedies in which the british people revelled during the victorian era if these or similar operas could be introduced into russia in place of the heavy and maudlin music of that country the savage breast of war might be soothed and a new era of harmon ious peace begun for mankind
