8 THE TIMES, OCTOBER 2, 1920. CONCERTS OF CHAMBER MUSIC. The Estate Market. ST. OSYTH'6 PRIORY.

THE POPULAlt DEMAND. The prohlfin of providing a of nnisirs.1 performances for the bene fit of (the leopIe at lance is exereisinc; much attention at the moment that it is fittinc to return Vi it. Another rupcet from that which we discussed I last week under the hendins of Municipal Mimic ha been raided in a lecture whjch jMr. S. Midcley pave on Wednesday at the Steinway Hall under the ausp ces of Trinity Collepcj of The subject was ostensibly Urijish t'lianjlicr Mimic," but Mr.

Midcley most cocent claim to be heard rested on the practical work Uvhich he has done for the past ten jyc ars or soin Bradford. He has organized regular concerts of chamber music with free admission which have met with very widespread appreciation and the main contention of his lecture "was that such efforts for the lcnctit of the community micht reasonably be supjwrted with funds by the official representatives of the community, that municipal authorities who provide picture pallerics and other art collections shbuld also provide niuMc. His plea was therefore for the provision of free concerts of chamber nnisie vt a kind which can claim to be genuinely educative. Beside this plea it may be worth while to nlace the rcnort of the 34th season of JMace Sunday Popular Concerts (Chamber 1 wniCIl IIR.S just rr( i uj, ii" wai.n season of1 these concerts begins to morrow. They i are well known to all classes of musical people in London for their excellence, both in the wide choice of music they present the standard of performance.

Last season, the longest, yet given, contained 30 weekly concerts, five of which had the special object of raising a memorial to John the distinguished violinist, who constantly led the quartet there. The John Saunders scholarship fund benefited to the extent of over 300 by the proceeds of these five concerts. The. artists generously gave their sen ices so that the takings by sale of reserved seats and collections could be handed to the fund complete. Normally the artists are paid small fees the balnnce shectyhow the sale of programmes roughly meets the (cost of printing, and that the sale of reserved seats at an absurdly low figure including tax Gd.

for the half season), with collections and donations, has just hrought the venture through with a narrow balance on the right side, The success of the South Place Concerts cuts across conventional notions of the conditions necessary Moorgate street on a Sunday evening seems about as unpropitious a place and" time Mine it of man could devise. Yet to morrow's concert will be the 821st which has been given in these conditions, and when one looks for, the causes of this stability there appear to be) two which are strong enouch to outweigh any) disadvantage of time and place. These are a purely musical management and regularity; The South Place Concerts are a daughter organization of the People's Concert Society, which haa been giving similar chamber concerts in various outlying parts of London for an (even longer time. But the daughter, like other modern daughters, is completely emancipated parental control, and manages her own affairs. Doth these societies work with the: one object of spreading the best kind of music amon the hest kind of audiences, those who really it but could not get it without some help.

Rut the South Place Concert have tho immense advantage that every orie knows where and when their music is to be found. They 'have beeri able to keep their audiences together in a way which occasional concerts cannot do. They have, in fact, formed a habit. The other factor in the situation is one which must be kept well in mind in considering the proposal which Mr. Midglcy advanced in; his lecture.

Such organizations as these, or as Mr. Midgley's own Bradford concerts, have a large asset in the fact that they have A singleraim. You may call it educational, or philanthropic, or anything else we prefer to call it musical, This is even a material asset. It is usej quoting their balance sheets su examples to' municipal ventures in concert giving. It is i obvious that first rate artists could not bd provided for 23 concerts at a cost of less than 250 except by engaging the good will of hf performers towards the cause.

Every time a player or singer takes his guinea he is really making a handsome contribution to the cause of music' Such contributions would not be made to municipal concerts. That in itself is no objection to the municipal concerts; it may even be an argument for them, for why should the musicians pay for the music which they make But it does show that the two cases are not parallel. Many. people fear, however, that if such music making were to pass out of private and into pub lichandsitwould mean a lowering of the standard, and possibly this is what Mr. Midgley had in mind when he specially urged the giving of free concerts by municipalities.

For when a thing is being given free there is less temptation to vulgarize it than when a public body is hoping to get back a large proportion of On the other hand, the free gift is not always the most valued possession of those who recejvo it, and we cannot help feeling in the case Jf the South Place Concerts that part of the benefit of the thing has been the realization pf the audiences that they must make personal pfforts to maintain it The upshot seems to be that with regard to music of this type the sound policy for any municipil authority wouldj be to see what is going on within its sphere of influence and how such work might be extended and strengthened without destroying initiative or interfering with personal direction. It is a delicate matter, but one, which would repay careful handling, for one thing emerges; both from Mr. experience in the North and from the instances which we have quoted, and others which we could quote, in the Sjuth namely, that music has now the opportunity of playing a far larger and finer part in th: lives of ordinary folk than it has. been allowed) to do in the past. MISS NATHAN'S WATER COLOURS.

HUMPHREY CLINKER IN GOLDEN SQUAltE. The illustration in the Time yesterday of St. Osyth's Priory serves as a useful reminder that the auction of that very venerable and beautiful mansion is drawing near. Messrs. Bid well and Sons (Cambridge) will offer St.

OythVin London on October 15. by order of Mrs. Mi B. Cowey. as its claims are, on the ground of antiquity and architectural distinction.

Osyth's Priory is entitled to consideration also as a residence, containing every requisite of modem comfort and convenience. It is a few miles from Colchester, and close to the sea coast, et near enough, to London to be quite suitable "for a man of the standing which qualifies him to reside, in such a house, it he wishes to go to and from town every day. The grounds are in keeping with the Priory, and around it are 33," acres of rich park and farm i i ii iu tint merelv an ancient IHIMl. 1(1U, 111 oaawa house ith a long, and interesting history, but a thoroughly well equipped, one. and the panelled flints, of which it is so largely composed, attest the stability of the whole structure.

Strength and beauty are united in St. Osyth's Priory, with nearness to town, the comfort of modern arrangements, and the ever present charm of the associations of bygone ages, and to all these is added the pleasures of sjwrt and just as much agricultural activity as an owner may feel inclined for. Anyone really wanting the estate would be well advised not to risk losing it by waiting for the auction. Colden square. near Regent street, formed late in the 17th centtirv.

was called after an adjacent inn of the sign of The Gelding. Smollett men; tions (2oltleii quare in "Humphrey Clinker. Mr Matthew Bramble writes from Bath oh May 10. to his friend, Dr. Lewis, "I shall tomorrow set out for London, where I have bespoke lodgings at Mrs.

Norton's, in Oolden squarc." Later, on June 8, he tells "Dear Lewis, am pent up in frouzy lodgings, where there is not room enough to swing a cat. 1 start every hour from my sleep, at the norrid noie of the watchmen bawling the hour through everv street." Rejected Addresses" alludes to "bankrupts from Golden Square." and Dickens refers to the square in Nicholas Nickleby. Canons, the. princely Duke of ChandosV pretentious mansion, supplied a statue of George II. to Golden square, from the Edgwarc "breakup" sale.

The woollen trade is now centred in the square, and there is likely to be eager competition for the freeholds there, belonging to the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat. Messrs FrAnk and Rutlev (Hanover square) will offer the property on October 28. Other, auctions to ne neia ny ine nm. ate, on 'Jibber 14. jointly with Messrs.

Carter Jonas and Sons (Cambridge). Of the farms, six were sold to tenants, the remaining two changing hands at auction. All the eottngcs and small holdings were bought privately by the occupiers, and the flolf Cluhi with richts over the foreshores, were purchased by the Clee thorpes Urban District Council. Building land changed hands at from 40 to 120 an acre. Out of tlx? 102 lots, 90 were sold for 90,000.

t. a00 SCENES IN LONDON. At the Bnok street Gallery, 14, Brook street, there is a pleasant, if unenual. exhibition of water coloiiiK by Miss Estelle Nathan. The inequality what striken one Her bvst work set standard which.

her worst falls far short of. It seems, indeed, almost impossible that the some, artist should have painted the Egerton Cricent Night (30). with its certainty and firm drawing and solid massos. and th flimsy Wootton C'ourtenay (41). Miss Nathan is ulways at her in her London Wrenes, which ai precise ithout being prosaic and sometimes she paints villages or the countrv with great delicacy, as in her Carteret (46).

She. fniU when she tries to be dashing in her execution, ns in her goldfish, painted in oils and she is not very successful in a fignre piece. At the Piano (56). But her head of Mr. Shaw; is a good likeness.

BRITISH ARTS AND CRAFTS. In the region of what are called rts and crafts Encland lias made a ureal advance within the last generation. Yet until now there has been no national ivumiuu aiaiu i vi m. Museum, which os es so niariy beautiful proofs of English fckill and tivste in thoffast, does not show the progress which has been made in our own time. Now this defect is to be remedied.

Out Of the Industrial Art Exhibition promoted by the Board of Education and the Hoard of Trade, which has been opon at Knightsbridge for the last few months, is to grow a permanent exhibition of the finest examples of English furniture, textiles, pot terv. metal work, iewelrr, printing, and so on. A number of authorities, "including Sir Aston Webb. P.R.A.. Mr.

Anning Bell, Professor Ithaby, Sir Charles Atlom, Sir Frank Warner, Mr. Henry Wilson, and Mr. Bernard Moore, have been engaged during the la.st few days in choosing objects at the Knightsbridge Eihibition to become, cither by gift or purchase, the property of the nation. This will form the nucleus of the new collection, which' will be enriched by the best things shown at the Industrial Art Exhibitions and from other sources. OPERA.

7th, 11 a.m. SLOUGH TRADINGG SLOUGH.BUCKS In A "FAUST" OPENING NIGHT. The the opera performances at tlie Old Vic" on Thursday wa a most cheerful occn.ion. Oounod's Fcust was given before nn audience which packed every part of the house and took the keenest delight both in the opera itself and in greeting again old friends among the singers. It is indeed this spirit of friendliness which is the first support of the Old Vie" ns an institution.

Everything is doii by Miss Haylis and her collaborators to: foster the personal interest of allcomers to the house in all that goes on there. The lantern screen used between the acta and the maga tine sold for "2d. in the theatre are constant sources of interesting; information. The former tells every thinz which is going to happen in the near future; the latter supplements it with such news as that Mr. Charles Corri is now beginning his ICth nenson ns conductor the operas, and has been spending summer holidnv in arranging the score of Tnttan for the "Old Vic.

orchestra, for TrUlan is to be chief wnoing the new productions of the season. That fact also shows that next to the Old Vic's friendline i it courage, Trixtin with an orchestra of perhaps 20 performers Well, we do not doubt that good will and courag will be equal even to this venture. Meantime, we caii record of Thursday I aust that it? success wrs bv no means solely dependent on these admirable qunlities. There was much thoroughly good musical quality about it. It is Gounod's melody before all else which makes, this opera live, and the singers made much of the melody and sang it with conviction.

Mri Jpscph I'arrington was a most sinister Mephistopheles, Mr. Hn Morgan an insinuating Faust, and Miss Muriel Opugh an attrac tire Miss Irene Ainsley's Mnginsf as Siebel particulorly pleas one by the ease of her higher notes fand the absence of those tricks of vocal which seem almfst invariably to gather round opera singers as, their careers lengthen out behind thenulMr. S. Harrison (Valentine) is described in th. "Old Vie" Mngazinn ns "our faithful friend," and was; received with a tpeciiil round of applause on; that account.

As to the general entemblf, we may suggest that something remains to be done to get both more precision and more tone in the choral numbers of the market scene, and we judged from Mr. Corn's that he intends to secure it. The; new dresses were very effective and added to the cheerful fooling of beginning a new enterprise which evidently inspired performer) and audience. The above appeared in our later editions yesterday. ST.
