Two Good New Songs by Western Composer Of the younger American son? composers, com-posers, few have contributed to the literature litera-ture specimens of more delicate beauty, keener sensitiveness of musical and poetic po-etic feeling and distinguished workmanship workman-ship that Winter Watts, now teacher of 1 harmony at the College of the Pacific, San Jose, Cal. That these songs do not appear more frequently on recital programmes pro-grammes Is due solely to the usual bovine bo-vine stupidity of stupors, few of whom know how to find a good son? unless it Is held under their very noses. It Is true that Mr. Watts's name appeared several sev-eral times In the symposium of favorite songs arranged last season by Musical America, and likewise that some of the songs have found favor with artists of the standing of Julia Culp and Olive. Fremstad. but the public, nevertheless, has had little or tio cfuince really to ac- , quaint Itself with the best ones. But. aside from the published sonKS, the pres- , ont writer is able to vouch for the superfine super-fine qualities of many lyrics which Mr. Watts has not yet made public. At least a half dozen of these productions greatly 1 surpass in force of Invention the charm- 1 lng "Blue Are Her Eyes." "Green Branches" and "Hushing Song," or the deeply felt "Boat of My Lover," which the Oliver Dltson company brought out some time ago. The same house has just Issued two more of Mr. Watts's songs, "When I ! Wake" and "Wood Song." The second named, it Is a pleasure to record, figures in Julia Culp 3 recueil of her favorite American songs. It appeals by reason j of Its utter freshness and a grace of mel- ody almost folklike in simplicity. A tine j and thoroughly spontaneous harmonic touch lends distinction to the appropriately appropriate-ly simple piano part. "When I Wake" strikes a deeper emotional emo-tional note, but with equal assurance and truth of expression. The whole song is as beautifully and clearly wrought as conceived and the few bars suggestive of Tschoikowsky do not disturb. Mr. Watts possesses a refined harmonic sense but does not, like most young writers today, to-day, deface his work with silly experiments experi-ments in dissonance and modulation that masquerade as advancement of thought and liberated eloquence. "When I Wake" is Issued for high and low voice; "Wood Song" for high and medium voice. H. F. P., in Musical America for i July. Compliment Concert for Vere Rogers Thursday night.

Originality One Evidence of Growth To set a limit to an art, a science or a religion is to retard its development and Its usefulness. It invites stagnation and then death. I hold no brief for the post-impressionist. Personally, I dislike his results. But the lesson of the ages persuades us Lo withhold judgment. That the world welcomes originality in any form Is obvious, and equally true that it condemns imitations. We can truthfully affirm with Emerson that there is a time in every man's life when he arrives at the conviction that imitation Is suicide. As every age and people have different methods of understanding any given truth or idea, they will invariably digest that truth or Idea in the most palatable form hence tho demand for originality. And it follows that originality (unless it springs from genius) can come only through imagination, stimulated by a wide and comprehensive knowledge. We use the word "imagination" in an active, creative or prod uctive sense. Why this eternal building, annihilating and then rebuilding? The only answer is: "It Is a stepping stone to greater things." With each effort ef-fort there' shall appear a still nobler edifice. edi-fice. It is merely part of the great plan and the open sesame to the temple of mysterious, but glorious, possibilities. Charles Wakefield Cad man, in the Music Student for July. New Indian Opera Is Nearly Ready "Oheckewn" is the title of the Indian opera by Rodney W. Hillam and Theodore Theo-dore Best.
