That the approaching visit of th. gentlemen of Ills Majesty's Kre. Chapel of Ht.

Enquiries from many outlying places as to th.

Unfortunately, however, Vancouver will bo the only city to be visited In this province. The Kngllsh singers will arrive In Vancouver on Saturday evening, February 12, and on tho thereafter they will take complete charge of the musical services in Christ Church, morning and evening.

Pennington STUDIOS: SUITES AND 4, 121 rlNOlft STREET WERT rniM tajf. MOS nuleaaia; Man Km. IDS" By OSCAR THOMTBOW. EW TORK, Jan. 29.

Grievously disappointed because the continued Illness of Arturo Tosca- nlnl has made It almost certain that th. Illustrious Italian will conduct non. of th. sixteen concerts of the New York Phllharmonlo allotted to him this season, devotees of symphonlo muslo have reluctantly sought con solation elsewhere. A visit by the Cleveland Orchestra Is not an event comparable with a Toscnnlnl re-entry; but with the one denied the other took on an additional Interest.

Three American novelties wer. In troduced by Nikolai Sokoloff. the Cleveland conductor, and as each of tho composers was present to bow acknowledgment of the applause which greeted their numbers, the concert was something of a red letter night for tha American composer. Douglas Moore, now of the faculty of Columbia University, was the first of the three Americans to b. asked to stand up, be seen and accept the audience's hearty plaudits.

His "Pageant of P. T. Barnum," new to Manhattan, had been heard previously In Cleveland and clrcumjacently. Its Roveral divisions, all reminiscent of the famous showman "Boyhood In Bethel," "Jolce Heth 161-year-old Negress," "General and Mrs. Tom Thumb," "Jenny Llnd" and "Circus Parade" predisposed th.

listening American for Just such agreeable muslo as he heard. "Pageant of P. Barnum" has humor genuinely American In its wholc-heartednees. Sometimes this humor takes the form of a clownlKh final phrase as In the "Boyhood" picture, where fiddles, bauds and early Connecticut hymn-ology aro suggested Is a happy land, far, far sometimes by orchestral pranks like shots from a cap pistol, as In the section devoted to the super-eminent midgets. Sometimes, aa In the "Jenny Lind" reverie, there was glamor and senti ment and a little of the wistfulness of a bygone day.

And In the finals, tho parade with Its lumbering cages, Its animals and Its calliope, something of Imitative realism. Amusing, pleasurable, with details of an admirable deftness, It was music that probably sounded better on first hearing than It would ever sound again. Frederick T. Converse was applauded long and earnestly after his "Elcgalc Poem." The Boston com poser and educator Intended It for the first movement of a symphony, then decided It would stand better alone. The work Is amply long, as It Is.

To this reviewer, the use of the negro slave song, "Link Pay, was Its most attractive achievement. Other wise there was an elaborate employ ment of themes and devices that lacked directness and point, with even something of vagueness In th. scoring. The other American novelty was "Th. Aeroplane" by Emerson Inevitably recalling Honneg ger's "Pacific 231" though the air- plan, luis no number this work was diverting without being exciting, exalting or even aggravating music.

tho programme notes expressed, It wat written for th. piano and came into being prior to the Honnegger, though not orchestrated until lOlla. Otto Klemperer has been leading th. New fork Symphony, and the Phllharmonlo has resorted to various expedients to keep Its Hchedult Intact until th. trrlva) of Wllhelm Furtwangier, who will conduct its concerts the latter half of th.

season. With Toscanlnl apparently too exhausted by a complication of bronchitis and a nervous ailment to round Into shape In the brief tlm. remaining for th. "guest" appearances allotted him. Ueorges Georgesco, th.

Roumanian who recently mad. a New Tork debut; Frits Reiner, borrowed from th. Cincinnati 8ymphony, and Hans Lange, assistant concertmaster of the orchestra, have been given opportunities to lead the noted ensemble A feature of two of Klemporer's recent concerts was the playing of a Norman Wilks The noted English pianist In Recital at Wesley Church Feb. 2, at 8:30 p.m. Admission $1.10 Sido balconies will be reserved for bona fide student pupils tickets 50c.

Th. extreme of the romanticism of th. first half of th. last century was set before an audience more curious than enraptured when Byron's "Man- rrerj with bchumann music was un dertaken by Tli. Friends of Music, with players from the spoken theatre reading the lines and Artur Bodaniky directing thn forces which presented the score.

The performance probably convinced a considerable number of tho younger generation that "the pageant of the bleeding heart" la not tor ttiem. Yet. for those old-fashioned belngt who can tolerate a little rhetoric now and then, and seo behind th. so-called morbidities of th. Byronlo phasls of romanticism, that very gens, of "frustration" about which so many of our modern wrltetrs have made an ado, It was worth while to have Schumann! music heard In conjunction with tin poem.

Drama, "Manfred" certainly not, whatever tho theatres have tried to do with It. If one of our most distinguished antiquarians is correct, more than twenty-two years have passed sine. New York last heard the work complete. This reviewer, though to have been present at the re cent revival, will not ask for a repeti tion in tne immediate future. The performance was an excellent on oar' nctiiany wmi respect to its musics, quality.

Solo parts are of no bulky Importance, but they wer. circumspectly sung. Tho chorus had no dif-. ficultles with Schumann's straight- foi-WUT-fl Nor waa it the fault of th. player headed by Paul Ley-Mac, Cornelia Otis Skinner and Blanche Yurka, if th.

Byronlcs of tho Hues hovered at timet close to burlesque. The world, fof weal or woe. lias put such things away. They may still be read, but not aloud. Elocution is not a lost, but disinherited art.

Of Schumann's music, undertaken as soon as he had completed his "Faust," It is probably only simple Justice that the overture alon. tuts currency outside of such adventures In archaeology as Sunday's concert. This Is uot to sny that there la not a certain aptness and something of appeal in tho melodramas and recitatives, but it is muslo dlsltrictly of the past. Contrary to some learned disquisitions of that past, it is elsewh'-re that Schumann "has written with hli. heart's blood" ami "spoken from liie Inmost soul." "Manfred" is Welt-schmerz.

SAMUEL'S SUCCESS. Harold Samuel. English pianist, who Is Internationally known as a Bpeclal-1st in the clavier compositions of Jo- hann Sebastian Bach, has given a scries of six piano recitals in the Town Hall, devoted exclusively to Bach. This series is unique In American muslcul annuls. When Mr.

Samuel announced a Bach week In London several season! ago, it was freely predicted that th venture would be a failure, due to the lack of popular appeal. But the was so marked a succcrs and the response of the public so cordial, that he has since repeated the scries each season, not only In Lon. don, but In other English cities.

J. NOVEL theory to raise the I A itandard of music and musi-t outlined recently by Ernest Newman in tne London Times. The English critic on this occasion makes an excellent suggestion, but while his logic is obviously sound, it is extremely doubtful his scheme will ever be put to the test. Her Is what Mr. Newman says: "It seems ther.

The general principle would be leveling up of the poorer musical locks by blood transrusion higher, something after the fashion lit has been found so effective In the -cue of port. When the Oporto grow-era have a particularly gnod they do not bottle all the wine, but keep a certain quantity 01 hows called where It to main-talned constantly at the same temperature. This lodge rnrt Is then used year after year, to doctor up Inferior This. In fact. Is a sort of vegetable blood transfusion from one grape to another.

The advantages of nrocedure In the cane of musicians, could we but apply u. would be so obvious that 1 need i hard If dwell on mem i schemo I vaguely have my mlnd th best musical vintages of th. day would 1 periodically tapped for the benefit of th. less good but atlll worthy vintages. What might not have happened to Cornelius' opera, Th.

Cld for example, had his friend a finer Klven him a blood transfusion once a fortnight during the compo- sltlon of it? Hd the prluc pi. been -thought of earlier might have had a really wonderful breed of musicians today. Some of th. lodg. port goes back a good hundred years.

But the hloon, tne Mozart blood, the Ro-slnl blood, the Hulilvan blood, ia lost to th. world irrevocably. In tlm. th. laboratories nd the -clinics would work the thing out with scUintlflo precision.

A violinist or a singer with every good quality ezcept that he plays or sings out of tune gets a irausiuslon from artist In his 'own lln.

mu.lcal world. It would not only raise th. artlstlo standard but It would all unfortunate petty Jealou.les. Musicians would eea.e to slander th.lr neighbors, and th. profession would respected for Its lofty Ideals, honest purposes nnd cordial relationships.

On th. other hand th. critics would relieved from many unpleasant and trying VrnblMtiS. It would b. a great and glorious feeling all round and there would be no further need for a separation of tho wheat from the chaff.

Our concert audiences would, moreover, receiv greater valu. for their money, while no longer would w. hear th. "cutting" remark, concerning th. performance of lha artist.

But why, seriously sp.aklng, iihould blood transfusion b. sutgested aa a means for levelling up the poorer musical stock? Why should competent musicians be asked to contribute their blood for th. baneflt of their less able fellows? Th. cur. mltsht prove worse than 1h.

Th. habit of th. Metropolitan Opera House In paying somo of Its stars as little aa possible In money and making up the balanc.

by permitting the use of Its golden nam. In their advertising prompts a New Tork critic to state that "th. lnbel of 'Metropolitan' Is ceasing to poseess any valu. whatsoever." Th. Eastern erltlo Is merely reviving an old story, which will, as usual, fall on deaf ears so long as the public tolerates th.

financial holdups perpetrated upon It by some of the high-powered concert managers In Gotham. To be quit, candid, tho majority of the big concert stars today are very much overpaid for th. services they glv. their audiences. Far too much bunk Is being dl.nhed up by th.

enterprising, and sometimes unscrupulous, press agents, and the wonder Is that the public will persist In swallowing tho stuff. It Is no longer a question of artistic worth. Th. on. thing In mind uppears to be th.

getting of the money. Tak. th. case of Marlon Talley, the Metropolitan's latest "discovery." It Is alleged that her salary at the Metropolitan Is probably not more than $150 or $200 a week, while her fee for concerts Is said tu be $3QU0 nightly. Miss Tallcy natuinlly la not to blame fur this sort of thing It Is her manaRerH.

On th. basis, thereforo, of Miss Tal-ley's earning power nt th. Metropolitan, her feu for each concert ahould not be mom than $200. How can Miss Talley's managers Justify that JMOO lee? Thorn's a flno mathematical problem for youl Th. only way to estlmat.

Editor Province, May I permitted to vole, my disapproval of a certain song and dance number which sonma to be more or less prominent at present.

I refer to "Mow Could Ked Riding Hood?" I first heard it played by gramophone at Christmas, and since then have heard It a number of times over the radio. I visited one of our local vaudcvlllo theatres last week 11), and was disgusted to find ono of th. (artists?) mouthing this monstrosity with evident gusto. I find It hard to believe that anyone with a sense of decency could llHteu to It except with a feeling of repulsion. What has tha art of song writing com.

What Is the Impression left In a child's mind at the age of I or 10 years, who ha, read and re-read these stories, and then to hoar them demoralized in the manner above described? I do not claim to ha a purlnt, but it would give me great pleasure to see this thing linnnud. If I were hi th. mimical business my shelve, would be bar. of this particular Hn of (music?) I would also offer a hint to the management of theatre, to ban this dirt and dross from their artists' repertoire. L.
