Sir: Although your music critic's review of the recent Thomas concert noted that the distinguished singer captivated his audience, yet your critic concludes with the comment that "Most of Mr. Thomas' singing was of the restrained order.

It would be interesting to investigate why this appeared so. I think those who have recently heard Mr. Thomas in concert else where hav; the answer. It was simply a case of accoustics or rather lack of them. Surely your music critic must have noticed that the stage background was just a net.

of the large mesh variety. And that was not to project the sound into the main hall, but to permit part of it to go back to the ears of the overflow audience in the rear concert hall. The same explanation would ap pear to apply to Mr. Hanneman's "mediocre" contribution. Certfiinly his playing elsewhere sounded vfcry differently from what reached some of the audience in the Win nineg Auditorium.

Tlie remedy is simple. If com erl directors are not interested in pres enting an artist under proper ac coustical conditions, it is up to the audience to express their opinion. In fact, some artsts or rather their management) are wise enough to see that these conditions do pre vail. AN ADMIRER OF MR. THOMAS.

Winnipeg, Oct. 29. Bells Not Music Editor, The Tribune. Sir: I have read with interest letters addressed to your paper discussing the pros and cons re Westminster Church Chimes, and while I hold no brief against the church inasmuch as I regard it as a very necessary institution I am of the opinion that it Is overstepping Its. bounds when it inflicts unnecessary noises on the majority of people, who although lovers of good music, do not regard church bells as coming under this category.

The church has no special identification with bells as they, are also used on fire trucks, locomotives, and cows who wander astray to the bush at milking time, but in the three latter cases it must be admitted that they are used as public benefactor, while the former who disturb the peace on Sunday morning perform no useful service whatsoever. As we are living in a country where your neighbor's rights must be respected, we wonder what the outcome would be if a tenant or owner of a dwelling in close proximity would place a Wurlitzer on his balcony and let it go full blast during church services, and even at that I think it would bemore appreciated than the dismal sound of church bells that the long suffering public have to contend with irrespective of their wishes.

Winnipeg, October 25th. Sir: Like a number of other people, I fail to agree with those who are resentful of the pealing of the church bells. How can they take such offense to the beautiful music of our good old hymns as they echo through the This music as rendered by the carillon comes at a reasonable hour of the day, when all people of a great nation should be taking time to worship. Perhaps the pealing of the bells has a message which troubles the conscience of these people and thus reminds them of the things they should have done and did not or of the things they have done that should not have been done. If this is true, I suggest they search the Scriptures and learn of the great love God has for all people and thus find peace and rest for their troubled souls.
