jr THE. WASHINGTON TIMES; FRIDAY: JANUARY iafr. MOTETCHOIRMLL SING COLOR MDSIG where a certain Found la represented by a certain color. Obviously, a strained and difficult process to follow. 'Dawn," "To the Evening Star" and "Night" Are Numbers Selected.

ART HAS MET CRITICISM Washington Will Become Acquainted With New Entertainment This Season. The Motet Choral Society is to Eire Washington Its first acquaintance with the new and much discussed art of "Color Music" at ita first concert of the season. This new art aims to transfer upon a screen a flowing hlend of colors whose hue and in tensity, together with the velocity nd the adjustment of color masses. nritl bear a definite analogy tothe ousic that is being heard. The Motet Choir does not seem to be attempting the impossible, nor to be making its experiment too abstract.

The musical selections used for this exploitation lend themselves admirably to the idea of a color interpretation. 'They are, flrst, "Dawn," a. subject that can be conveyed convincingly with a mobile color scheme; second. "To the Evening Star," d-. manding a more subtle treatment, one would think; and, lastly, "Night." ih all of these a story is carried.

It is program music with a well thought Xut color scheme that was analyzed and perfected last summer by Otto Torney Simon, director the Motet, and 'Mrs. Simon during their sojourn in Colorado Springs. Sonrre cf Criticism. The history of this new art has) been, thus far, a source for criticism that has ranged all the way from prophecy of something vitally Important In the esthetic world, to denunciation the most virulent. As far back as 1900 Hawels, on "Music and Morals," speaks of "a color-art ex actly analogous to the sound art of music being possible a new art." He continues: "Why should we not go down to the Palace of the Peoo'le and assist at a real color-prelude -or sympnony, aa we now go down to hear a work by Moxart or Mendeln.

sohn? But the color-art must be constituted. Its symbols and phraseology discovered. Its instruments Invented, and ita composers born. Up to that time music will have no rival as an art medium of emotion." Happen Since 1911. And tola what has happened.

In 111 Scrlabine, the foremost exploiter of color-muilc or the affinity between sound and color, was given in Moscow the premiere of pi'ls novel composition. "Prometheus, the symphony of Fir," aa it is called, accompanied by color-rays 'from a Keyboard of light used much as an organ keyboard. Alexander Scrlabine (or -Skryabln) waa the apostle of an Involved philosophy that la said to have combined the emotional elements of Chopin, of Lisit, and of TheosophV. This yielded, in his creative achievements, seventy-four works In all. Of these his first symphony Is called "A Hymn of Praise to Art Aa Religion." His second symphony Is supposed to portray "the emancipation ine soul rrom Its fetters, the self-ex pression of personality." It is musical psychology.

His "Prometheus" is his most advanced work. 'Scrlabine -was peculiarly sensitive to the association of sound and color, and in his last unfinished creative, work, entitled "Mystery," he designed a combination of music, words, and gestures, accompanied by color with the added emotional effect of perfume, the association of which with its psychic influences, has remained, till now, solely in the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. Produced la New Teric "Prometheus" was produced in New Tork In 1913 with light and color. It received what has been called "a general unintelligent denunciation." Clarence Lucas in the Musical Courier, said it "must die of apoplexy!" John Runciman, writing on "Noises, and Colors," calls It "Moonshine gone utterly lunatic." Modest Altschuler, of the Russian Symphony Orchestra, gave some color experiments in New York in connection with the Edison-Miller testing ex pert. This, we are told, was.

how. ever, purely scientific, with the limitations put upon the educational scheme of exact sclence.now in vogue. Now we have. In prospect, what Is promised as a freer application of these principles, Mr. Simons has had co-operation of Lewis Barrington, or the Library of Congress, who has done much Individual work in applying color as an, interpretive medium.

Mr. Barrington will operate the color machine used by Mr. Simon and for the use of which he Is ir. debted to Edward M. Kennard, of this citv.

the Inventor of the ma- chine. Mr. Barrington tells that the machine, while the result of past experiment, will here be adapted to new purposes with new results. The texture of his curtain will do much, he claims, in reflecting the color values desired. His scale of color, while It has no literal bearing the music, will yet have a dcflnlt1 psychological relation to It.

Orange denotes warmth, blue is cold. In the Harrison song. "Night," the blue of an Egptian night will be used. It contains a blend of blue and red that gives hues of deep- purple. Color, we know, creates atmospheric effects.

Thesei are to be employed without lines, 'merely a blend that, as Mr. Simon puts it, are to establish "a symbolical, an emotional stimulus," that will emphasise the mood and the value of lhe music The color poems that Ttave been read in this country by Beatrice Irwin have been acclaimed as true art by no less a person than the sculptor Rodin. It Is a privilege to Washington to be given an opportunity to form Its own Judgment on this radical departure In the realm of art. 3. MacB.

OPEN SCHOOLS FOR TUBERCULAR PUPILS STEALS CASH FOR BLIND Hotel Thief Takei Money Given for War Victims. 'The Hotel Men's Association intends to send put circulars asking hotel clerks to look out for a. modlshly dressed man who, It is believed. In casting envious eyes on small wooden boxes for the reception of money with which to buy glass eyes for blirid soldiers In Europe. The man almost succeeded in getting away with the box in the St.

Regis Hotel, early Wednesday morning. The stranger dropped Into the St. Regis at 1 o'clock and said he proposed to take a room as soon as a friend arrived. He talked on various subjects and then suddenly disappeared as Mr. Adams turned his back.

The clerk noticed that th box the property of the" Permanent Blind Relief War Fund for Soldiers and Sail- 1-ora 'which stood on the desk was missing also. Adams ran Into the street, saw a man going east on a dog trot, and blew a police whistle. The man dropped the box, coins rajnlng to the side walk, and the dog, trot became a canter. Carl Walker, night manager of the Vanderbllt Hotel, said somebody re- cently cut the top of the "blind box" In that hotel and abstracted some coins. the St.

Regis. It Is said, nightly donations to the fund by hotel guests aggregate between $40 and 00. Transportation and Proper Feeding Important Problems Confronted. Schools for the fifty-nine children excluded from school, because of tuberculosis are to be opened within two weeks. Dr.

Van Schalck, president of the Board of Education, stated today. Although the funds are not being received at anything like the expected rate, it is proposed to open the chools, depending on the generosity of the public, combined with the assistance of the Society for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis, to maintain. tnem. Separate Schools. Two schools will be opened, the location of neither having been announced yet.

The school for the edu cation of colored chlfdren has been jelected, and will be occupied within t. week. Where to place the white children Is causing some question. Several iChools are In mind. but.

either the location or the facilities are not of the best. A definite decision Will be reached within the week. It is believed. Transportation and the proper feeding of the tubercular children are causing schoolofficials some thought. Just what meVins of gathering the children in school each day to be adopted has not been decided.

The food supply Is one of the chief Items of expense. Proper Food Necessary. Substantial, nourishing food must be supplied the students if progress of the disease is to be arrested, doc tors state. "I am not satisfied with the amount of money that has been contributed for the education of the tubercular children excluded from school," said Dr. Van Schalck.

"We owe It to them to educate them and that we are going to do. Since the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis has given Its aid to raise the necessary funds, I feel no hesitancy in opening the schools. Next year we expect to have a Congressional appropriation for the purpose." 0 REJECTS ANNULMENT PLEA. ROME, Jan. 38.
