KEY. NEW YORK, Sept. Summer music crop is in; now for the "regular season, which is just around the corner. A survey of our Nation's accomplishments during the past two months discloses enough shout about. I doubt if any previous year has yielded such a harvest.
Even Europe which rushes its music for the Summer tourists--hasn't surus to the extent it once did. Bayreuth. Munich. Salzburg, Frankand Baden-Baden have upheld traditions: but Covent Garden offered nothing in the main which was superior to lavinia's opera, and the orchestra concerts by the New York Philharmonic at our Lewisohn Stadjum and those in Hollywood Bowl by all organization made up the Los Angeles Philharmonie probably were equalled by nothing east of the Atlantic. The Cleveland Orchestra gathered laurels also, in its first series of Summertime programs, while the quality of performances at Cincinnati's Zoo Opera set a new artistic standard.
St. Louis too gave as completely rounded opera at Forest Park as that city has known. For the rest. there was all increase in the quantity of both concert and opera in other communiries. The quality represented distinct advances which is most comforting of all.
We are stepping ahead in our Summer music. season by season. And it will not be long. I predict, before there will regularly take place a festival or two during the warm weather period to rival the best Eurepe has to offer. Stadium's Bulls-Eye.
When the final note of the current Lewisohn Stadium series was sounded early this week by the New York Philharmonic there was a lengthy moment of silence. It was 28 though the vast audience appreciated that its exceptional music repast was quite finished. One caught the heart-throb which nearly everyone felt before the ovation which thereupon followed for the orchestra and Conductor Willem van Hoogstraten. These concerts have gone on from modest beginnings to genuine heights. Arnold Volpe, who UD from Miami, Fla.
(where he is engaged in building an orchestra and in developin growing music talent), to conduct Ballet in some special performances, admitted to me that he feels abundantly compensated for the trials he experienced in starting these stadium concerts. This year Hoogstraten has a conductorial growth, and Stock never has given more incontestible proof of his eminence. There was a touch of novelty in the return of Pierre Montenx: and he rarely has led an orchestra with such freedom as he exhibited during his guestship at the stadium. I rather look for some marked departure in the 1928 season. Manager Arthur Judson has not so stated, it is true, but the time would appear ripe for something even more unusual than this undertaking has yet attempted.
Lucrezia Bori Ill. Admirers of Lucrezia Bori will sympathize with this versatile prima donna in the illness which so unhappily has overtaken her. She was seemingly ready for her Ravinia appearances when she arrived there last June, but shortly thereafter she hecame indisposed. It was early in the season there that Marion Talley was invited to appear in Miss Bori's place, and the little Spanish. did not, as was then expected, recover her full health.
Now she has found it expedient to cancel her engagement to appear with the San Francisco and the Los Angeles Opera Companies, much to the discomfiture of those organizations. The former's season begins within a few weeks, and will be followed by an equally pretentious one in Los Angeles. Miss Bori realizes the need of preparing herself for her coming Metropolitan Opera appearances: and the few weeks at her disposal before she must report at its stage door for rehearsals will be none too many, since her schedule of appearances is both heavy and important. Operatic Affiliations. Reports of improved operatic conditions in Italy are confirmed by Bruno Zirato, who has just arrived from that country.
Identified more and more with worthwhile opera projects, Caruso's former secretary returns as the accredited representative in the United States for the Agenzia Lusardi of most important agency Milaftalthe and also for La Scala, the Regio of Turin, and the San of Naples. Artists whom Zirato represents over here will be cared for by the managements of those theaters mentioned. this arrangement," "and with "I foresee an excellent, outcome in the growing interest in opera in all parts of the United States the way would appear still further to be opening for the good of all concerned." Here is another bit of evidence to add to that which lately has been forthcoming in the interest of our The Metropolitan and the Chiopera. well as the Los Angeles, San Francisco, as Carlo, Ravinia.

Enrollments for music study for the season now about to open exceed those for any preceding Autumn.

Thus is the graduate school placed in trustworthy hands; the undergraduate conserva- GEE John Erskine Is One of Lecturers Who Will Be Here The City Federation of Women's Clubs is making extensive preparations for a banner First, it is stressing everything for the cultural. advancement intellectual of the and city in spiritual civic. si The federation will co-operate in every way with the Board of Civic Co-ordination.

Those who hear or read of these bald, meager facts, if they react at all, usually pass them by, dismissing them with some assertion as, "The old scoundrel, he ought to be sent to jail." themselves delve little more into such cases. other than the proof that "Mr.
did or did not desert his wife and six children and fail to support them after abandonment. Acts, not motives and underlying causes, are the primary consideration of the practical law as administered in the courts. But behind 1 the scenes of these domestic tragedies, it is the task of Mrs. H. E.
Wright, county humane officer, to go. It is she who discovers the "whys and of wife and child desertion cases. Some of her findings are not in accord with the superficial popular conceptions, which by usage often become the accepted and prevailing beliefs. Too Many Children. Mrs.
Wright was asked what was the primary cause. of husbands deserting their and children. Court dockets show that there is now an unusually large number of such cases. main cause of these abandonments is too many children," Mrs. Wright explained.
"A husband and father realizes that he can not live up to the responsibility of a large family. He can not support his wife and six or eight children, as the case may be. He is usually of a type that does not want to steal or is afraid of the consequences of thievery or other criminal means of gaining more money. So he runs off, to escape the mire in which he is sinking deeper. "There are some instances where the husband and father comes home, worn out from work, and finds himself in an incessant turmoil of erying children and a nagging wife.
He goes 80 far until his never-relaxed nerves snap, and he runs away. This type of man is driven by a case of nerves to do what he would not do, probably, if he were in better condition. "Another Woman." "Another reason for desertions is 'another A man and woman marry and begin rearing a large fam ily. The man is thrown out in the world, and the woman is held at home with the children. Often she ages faster than the man, she loses her looks and sometimes her disposition.
She and her husband in time are not the same two persons who married. The husband meets another woman, usually much younger than his wife, and he runs away with this woman. "Why den't such persons get divorces? Well. the main reason is that the wife will not consent to it. She, in fact, does not give her husband any legal ground for divorce, and she, properly, is unwilling to take the burden and responsibility of rearing the children alone.
is another reason for desertion of wives and children. Couples marry when they never should have; in other words, they are incompatible. Mismating is what some people call it. and it is certainly the source of much marital discord and trouble. Many Cases Avoidable.
"I am not condoning wife and child desertion by any means. I do think that much of it is avoidable and inexcusable, and I believe that both band and wife can help make their home a better place when there is trouble. I am merely reciting the facts as I have found them in my work, and many of them are tragedies, to say the least. "What is the solution? Well, it will come in time. Changes for the best are a process evolution, and tomorrow may bring us the solution.
There are many thinking people now interested in such problems, and the fruits win be borne in time. I suppose we must be patient, and feel like H. G. Wells, that things are going to work out all right." CAPPS. SYCAMORE AND ARNOLD TO GET CONCERTS THIS WEEK The three municipal concerts this week will be given at Capps, Sycamore and Arnold Parks.

L. McCown, Mrs. Vance DR. LIMBAUGH, 71, IS ACTIVE "I ONLY REALLY AWOKE AT 40" CLINGS TO CLASSICAL LORE BY ALEX STEDMAN. A life, still fresh, interested and active after passing the Biblical allotted span, that has been devoted principally to the study of the old world classics, and is still finding in them a vast storehouse of knowledge and immeasurable spiritual values.
A personality that reminds. one most of an oak tree in a forest to which time reckoning seems out of the question. This man, Dr. D. C.
Limbaugh of Fort Worth, has been familiar figure to many in this community for years. He is now 71 years old, and promises that he will round out a century of activity and study. His life was been built up around the world classics of Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe and the Bible. still studies them, explaining their university means they are inexhaustible. The first question that suggests itself is why has a man stayed with these old classies instead of plunging into the vast flood of contemporary writing.
Let us take Dr. Limbaugh's own they are the supreme masters in literature," and because later books are but inferior variations of age-old themes. are supreme," Dr. Limbaugh continued, "because they express the elemental nature of man--the primary or basal nature of man, man shorn of all the veneer civilization." Dr. Limbaugh declared that Goethe was the last "epic figure" in literature.
There is none in the world today, asserted. And why is this? "Because it takes not only a man but also the people to produce supreme art and Dr. Limbaugh answered. "The New England poets were greater than any at any other time in the history of this country, because the life of the people in New England demanded an artistic expression. Whittier, Longfellow, Emof erson and Lowell were mouthpieces the people.
"That was a transcendental period, and all of these writers were transcendentalists. Hawthorne was the historian of the New England of the Colonial period, of their aspirational or spiritual life. That is what history is--not an account of the doings of kings and the story of battles. Writers" come ever in stop to groups? think Milton great was an exception. "We have no great writer today because of the people.
The life of the people today is wrapped up in externals. This commercial and mechanical age. Man's spirit is dominated by the material. His whole life is in doing rather than in being. Our college of today radiates around the athletic stadium rather than around the making of the individual scholar, "Today we are over-organized.
We are overwhelmed with conception of the solidarity of the race. There is not sufficient stress on the individual. In old Greece civilization was built around the individual. The Greeks were the only people who knew how to live. "There have been two great streams in the development of civilization and man.
One is Greek, represented by resenteaand the other Bible. is The Hebrew, Greek repgives us form and the philosophic side of life. The Hebrew gives us the heart side of civilization. To be a man one must have both. "I stick thethe great authors because from get the real history of peoples.
I mean the spiritual history, not the mere matter of battles. Green, in his 'History of the English was trying to write such history. History is such a matter, of the people and not of a king. By spiritual, I must add, I mean the emotional life of man. "What is to be gained by reading Homer and the like? I do not read primarily for pleasure, as pleasure is understood in the usual sense.
I reject the idea that art is intended to give happiness to man. The pleasure derived from viewing great art is incidental, or rather an accompaniment its primary purpose. The purpose of art, as put by Aristotle, is its thartic quality. the cleansing of the human soul, art feeding the higher nature of man. By the soul, I mean man's inspirational nature.
The supreme books of the world put the soul through 8 process of purification. They show the grand discipline of life; misfortune is seen to be the test of the spirit, and man is seen to be the fatecompeller. "Art is the concrete embodiment of an ideal, The Bible is the very consummation of art: it has all artistic principles in it. Art is not philosophy, theology or ethics, though it is used for such ends. "Life means self-expression; that is, in the case of man, the expression of the higher man to extent that it controls the lower self.
The great doing this very thing. classics put one in the of conditioner poem has a great lesson it wishes to teach; but it does not formally present this lesson by logical sequence and analysis, but in an embodiment of concrete pictures for than contemplation of the intellectual a emotional being of the reader. "Supreme writers employ poetry, because poetry excels all the other arts, combining their several particular characteristics. Great poetry is like great music, the more it is read the more pleasure and illumination it gives. The person who does not enjoy Shakespeare more in reading him the fortieth time has not read Shakespeare.
"The five, supreme books of the world Homer's 'Iliad' and the Bible, Dante's 'Divine Shakespeare Goethe's Shakespeare'8 plays are really one great book. "The great books are not easy reading. They refuse yield their real inner meaning till reader translates them out of the temporal environment of dates and events into the vernacular of the eternal, wherein every man has at last to make his own translation. "By eternal literature, I mean that which is universal and appeals to the inner man at all times, at all places and under all conditions. Fine literature cares all for our discipline.

A Novel Effort. Venice was the scene recently of a most unique affair. It was nothing less than a performance of the opera La Gioconda.
given in the courtyard of the Doges' Palace--that spot SO dear to the heart of tourists where they feed the pigeons at the foot of the Campanile and right at the doors of St. Mark's. There was considerable opposition at first to the proposal, due to certain lines in the libretto which scarcely are complimentary to either the Venice of old and the Nerolike rule of the Doges. But all passed off so smoothly (with touches of diplomacy) that the conclusion of the representation was attended by the cheers of the throng who heard and saw what must have been one of the most realistic touches ever imparted to opera. The square of St.
Mark's, with its famous shops and restaurants lining three of its sides, was massed with people, and while Italians predominated, there were, I ail informed, many Americans who joined in the demonstration. Music Leagues Prospects. When Mrs. Otto Kahn started the National Music League it was evident that unusually equipped young instrumentalists and singers would be given some of the chances they deserved. And when Mrs.
Christian R. Holmes and other wealthy music patrons put their shoulders to the League's wheel it began straightway to turn. The first year was of course a mis-1 sionary period. The foundations had to be laid. Now that genuine headway has been achieved, the outlook for the season to come is particularly promising.
Director Harold Vincent Millican and Associate Director Vera Bull Hull tell me that will be double the number of engagements for their talented list of artists than was obtained for them during the introductory year. But fit is not alone in the "placing" of thes musicians that the League is doing a constructive work: the allditions are serving. fine ends in separating the wheat from the chaff. and sending mediocre singers and pianists and fiddlers into other fields--where they belong.

In coming to Texas, he concluded that instruction in great literature offered a wider and better field. He has conducted classes in Fort Worth, Sherman and other places for 15 years. He is now teaching at the Hebrew Institute on Browning. His classes have included the great world classics, the Greek drama, Tennyson, Browning, Ibsen, Wordsworth and many other leading English poets. -Dr.
Limbaugh said that his mind was not "thoroughly waked up" until he was 40. By this, he explained that he meant the "full realization of the cosmos and that I was a part of it." "It shows the struggle between the higher and the lower man in one's being. The lower being should be subordinated to the higher, controlled and used by the higher. Nobody but a fool would crush the lower being. Fine art shows the triumph of the higher man over the lower.
Thoroughly "Awakened" at 40. "Did you ever stop to think that every great work of literature is culmination of many attempts at the same thing? Many sang of Troy before Homer wrote the Iliad. The Pilgrim's Progress was stumblingly written by many before John perfected it. "As for the Bible, I regard the Book of Job as the greatest piece of literature of its kind in the world. It is a dramatic epic.
For 20 years I studied through Job four times a year." As a child, Dr. Limbaugh gained his first impressions of great literature from selections in old editions of McGuffey's reader. Impetus ton this "hankering" was given him his 'teens by a teacher, Capt. J. H.
