Theatres in many cities are offering synchronized mechanical music as a substitute for Real Music.

If the theatre-going public accepts this vitiation of its entertainment program a deplorable decline in the Art of Music is inevitable. Musical authorities know that the soul of tho Art is lost in mechanization. It cannot be otherwise because the quality of muiic is dependent upon the present mood of the artist, upon the human contact, without which the essence of intellectual stimulation and emotional rapture is lost, Is Music Worth Saving No great volume of evidence is required to answer this question. Music is a well-nigh universally beloved art. From the beginning of history men have turned to musical expression to lighten the burdens of life, to make them happier.

Aborigines, lowest in the scale of savagery, chant their songs to tribal Cods and play upon pipes and shark-skin drums.
