Cowell Disserts
on Cuban Music
Native Musicians Give
Point to Lecture.
Completing his course on the musical systems of the world, Henry
Cowell, well known American pianist and Composer, gave a lecture and
demonstration on Cuban music i n ,
the auditorium of the_New School
for .Social Research l a s T T v W B P He .
w a s a s s i s t e d o y T o s Siboneys. a group
.-. who illustrated t h e
music on native Instruments.
For most of us Cuban music
means t h e rumba, the "Peanut Vendor.- a tapping of sticks, a sound of
shaking gunshot and a myterious
operation of insistent rhythms. Some
of its wilder revelations even remind
us of Africa.
H a s Own Indigenous Quality.
In all this, however, there is a
purpose, as Mr. Cowell pointed out,
a rhythmic pattern, a calculated
percussive persistence. Cuban music
is related to t h a t of Africa and
Spain, but it also is something indigenous.
Its wealth and variety lie in the
wide r a n g e of percussive tone s u m moned by a number of almost primitive instruments. These are the
clave, two resonent sticks producing
what Mr. Cowell called a "tonal
sizzle"; t h e bombo, a d r u m which,
if skilfully manipulated, achieves a
percussive scale; the maracas, a
dried gourd whose seeds, moved
about within, make a swishing, pattering sound, and the marienbula.
a resonant sound-box with n series
of pluckab'.e "keys" running along
one side of it.
Makes Vhid Demonstration.
T h e authentic Cuban orchestra is
completed, as it was last eve
by a Spanish guitar and a
which Is a three-stringed g
Mr. Cowell explained the place of
each instrument in the orchestra,
its powers and Its origin. He gave
a very illuminating account of the
harmonic and melodic character of
the music. Its differences and its
correspondences to t h a t of Spain,
and Its native originality.
Cautioned by Mr. Cowell not '.o
make hasty and harsh judgments on
unfam
d and
listened attentively. W h a t we particularly saw and heard was approximately as follows:—On tlv
trcme left a clacking of two pieces
of hard wood; on the right, two
simply constructed drums (which
had been "tuned" over a can of
burning Sterno) giving forth sharp
abortive snarls and booms; the
marienbula. upon which the performer sat; and two maracas. movaboui in a pattern of
:c a pair of cc:
shakers.

Chinese music is what it is, the reason it
not particularly obscure. Chiefly it it because, as pointed out by Mr. Chih Meng in
his preliminary address, since the Tang
Dynasty the study of music has been
banned from education and scholarly pursuits.
The Tang Dynasty ended in 907 A. D.
In other words, about one hundred years
before Guido of Arezzo made his incal
culably fruitful discovery that music, to be
transmitted properly, must be, not m i t t e n
but drawn, the music of the Chinese world
stopped developing. Had it continued to da

of Feb. 22. This program, which was
given with the assistance of the China
Institute in America, enlisted the services of nine "amateur" musicians
playing a large number of native instruments. With characteristic Oriental modesty, it was not stated at the
time that the so-called "amateurs" represent in China the most highly cultivated of all the musicians, the professional musicians who perform in the
theatres being considered as definitely
of the second rank.
It is high time that the music of the
Chinese, which is so much older than
our own, should become more familiar
to our music-loving public, inasmuch aa
many of the problems which are agitating our contemporary composers are
distinctly related to the aesthetic system which this music represents.
A surprisingly large • audience responded with much enthusiasm on this

Despite whatever limitations this
Implied, their program was extraordinarily interesting. There were solo*

dulcimers, two-stringed violins, m
primitive teed organ and flutes, as
well as brief scenes from opera and

_
February 17th, as part of the
Spring terra program of the New
School for Social Research, Anita
Block, head of the playreading department of the Theatre Guild, will
present the first lecture in a series of
twelve on The Significant Forces in
Contemporary Drama. Miss Block's
course will deal primarily with the
play and the play-content as a reflection, a commentary or a criticism of
life.
Among the problems of contemporary drama to be treated in the
course a r e : individual and national
ideals, dreams, problems and fears as
reflected in plays; the effect of the
new
psychology
on
present-day
d r a m a ; the essentials of the drama of
today and their permanent value. Miss
Block will discuss the representative
plays and playwrights of Europe and
America in the light of these problems. Her first lecture will be devoted to a definition of contemporary
drama as differentiated from modern
drama, the chief modern foundations
of contemporary drama-—Henrik lbfen,
Gcrhart
Hauptmann,
Frank
Wedekind. Arthur Schnitzlcr, and the
World W a r as a line of demarcation.
Following this lecture. Miss Block
will discuss, successively, the drama of
France, Austria and Hungary, Germany. Italy, Spain, Russia, England
and America.
Her views on plays
carry prime authority. But, for all
we know, she may be haunted through
sleepless nights at the thought of the
masterpieces she has rejected.

Meyer Levin, erstwhile AngloJewish newspaperman and author, hasi
turned successful puppeteer. H i s presentation of O'Neill's "The Hairy
Ape" and Carroll's "Alice in Won- c
derland" was followed this week by
an even more delightful dramatization of Stevens "Crock of Gold." Mr.
Levin who is now giving a course in
the a r t of marionettes at the New
School for Social Research, manipulates his puppets with deft and whimsicality and makes his adaptations with
commendable cleverness and understanding.

program
She began with the
twelfth century by wav of Chatelain de Coucy's "Merci Clamant"
and ended with the twentieth, including such middle Qgui
teverdi a n d Purcell. Despite intelligence and good diction, the singer
lacks the opulence of vocal tone to
carry the archaic melodic line or
seventeenth-century lyricism- She
was a t her best in the last group, including Satie. Mllhaud, Stravins'and Villa-Lobos.

with
Chatuson % Trio. op. 3, a work of
unconscionable lyric wealth, much
in the Franckian idiom. While he
res to a singular degree the
harmonic opulence of t h a t m;
Chausson lacks that subtle restraint which preserves t h e Belgian's creation from a n ejccess of
sacrharinity.
The trio, neverIS, was a welcome opus and
the interpretation of the Elshucos
convincing to the extent t h a t one
felt it could hardly be otherwise.
This organization can always be
depended upon for a thoroughbred
conception
of
Brahms,
whose
works, pleasing to relate, figure
frequently on the Klshuco programs. The players rose to heights
of gusto especially in t h e expediond movement of the

Negro Folk Lore Offered
In Exciting Novelty
All hough negro entertainment Is
familiar thing In this city no v.
with all-negro revues, plays anil long
recitals, the program of folk lore put
on at the New gghoql_ tor Social fteeearch Tuesday llIgTfl" sliowell dial
IIUIIIMM l i n t ' still possible, and
ing novelties at that.
Called "From Sun to Sun," the pro
gram presented the common negro
life, beginning with the rousing of a
gang of workmen at dawn
alng to the rhythm of their tasks, nod
ending a t night with a "fire dance."
Aside from the lolermil
singing of the cast of 30. which v, as
uniformly excellent In tone and spirit,
the t w o ' outstanding numbers were a
aermon by Richard Huey accompanied
by the crackling ad lib comments and
cries of his parishioners rising to a
fine climax, and the last dance.
This was a group affair in fantastic
costume—one chap's headdress waa a
huge ship — in which one couple at
• time took the floor while the rest
beat a steady unbroken rhythm. Each
pair did different quasi-improvised
steps In high spirits.
One guesses
that, off-stage, such dances pas's Into
orgy; as it was. It left the audience
thrilled-and spent.
Although it may be unfair to single
out one performer, Leonard Sturrup
should be mentioned for his superb
vitality in the I'roup numbers, in his
ringing of "Mama Don't Want No
Peas" (she want whiskey, brandy all
Je time) and In -his intense Crow
Dance.
Zora Hurston, who waa responsible
"or the production, having spent four
.•ears In gathering the kind of maerial Included In the program, introluced several of the numbers simply,
md was enthusiastically applauded at
he close for her fine undertaking.
J
Members of the tloupe will be se^i
gnln In a program largely of folk
ancing at the Vanderbiit HotejT on
Lprll 22.

/ O r i g i n a l Negro Folk Lore Presented
The simple tale of the day of the Florida Megrg rail
road folk, entitled " F r o m Sun to S u n . " was presented
by Zora H u r s t o n at the New School foc..5ocial R e search. Tuesday evening. Tlitf' llfflfflreus scenes included the labour of the men sinciiiK as they worked;
their diversions at cards, dancing and singing; their
:—~^s
religions m e e t i n g s and finally the Rahaman lire dancing.
T h e natural, childlike acting, the rollicking easy mirth,
the fun that these people have coupled with the
nance a n d spirit of their singing and dancing, m a d .
production delightful. Done entirely without scenic effects, they attained a graphic picture and vivid atmosphere of the Florida railroad r a m p s . Of especial charm
was the " J o h n H e n r y " and "Death Comes A'Crecpin" "
in the lirst half of the p r o g r a m .
Although the t e m p o of the production w a s slowed up
somewhat by a (lull interlude of "Jooks." which are
-lories in Bong, the concluding number, " F i r e Dance."
was stirring. Done to the rhythmic clapping of hands
and an intoned primitive wail, these people, all of them
native B a h a m a n s . were at home in a dance of taut, s u perbly knit bodies and buoyant spirits. T h e s e arc the
foundations, the core of the dancing we see today in t h e
modern theater. T h e s e people a r c not trained dancer-,
their singing is crude, yet vibrant, but their work is fundamentally authentic and sincere. T h e y have no feeling of self-consciousness, a t no time are they acting.
Miss Hurston. w h o is working under the patronage of
Mrs. R. Osgood Mason, h a s assembled an authentic folkcycle of songs, dances and rituals. H e r efforts are thoroughly artistic and the results roused the audience to a
pitch of appreciation seldoni seen at productions of this
kind.

Jewish culture was essential if the
problems were t o be met.
Marvin Lowenthal. former foreign .
editor of t h e journal, raised the
point over which disagreement waa
sharpest when he criticized as Inefficient the tactics of the American
Jewish Congress and similar organizations in Issuing vigorous group protests over such evils a s persecution
of Jews In R u m a n i a . Such methods,
he argued, stimulated even greater
oppression in t h e foreign country.

Israel N . T h u r m a n . official of the

Lowonthal's conclusion a s "calamitously erroneous."-''•ciarinp th»t undercover methods would
add contempt to h a t r e d . " Rabbi Louis X.
Newman of Congregation Rodeph
Sholom also took issue with Mr.
Lowenthal, asserting t h a t Theodor
Herzl had "lifted dealing with t h e
Jewish problem Into t h e open." and
t h a t it would be a mistake to reverse
t h e policy.
In a short rebuttal Mr. Lowenthal
ted t h a t he had not advocated

Says Colleges

Modern Facts

Life Create* Mental
Strife, Says Dr. Kallen
"Our colleges today do not prepare the student for life as it is
lived in our modern world, but protect him from it."
This criticism was offered by Dr.
Horace M. Kallen, lecturer at t h e
Neat School for Social Research In
MaiilwlllU. WI'IHII 1W1JI1 6f William
James and a u t h o r of numerous
books on education and esthetics,
Kht at a meeting of the Brooklyn Friends School Moiners' Club,
held at the school. 112 Schermerhorn St.
"The schools themselves are cloistered places as different from life
as possible," he said. "Our teachers
are persona adjusted to the school
environment and to no other, havi n g no experience with the outside
world and no connection with UICs
hardships.
"Our students on the other hand
are adjusted in the direction «
changing life of the world and this
difference in background and view- |
point naturally
re antagonism."
He declared t h a t the average boy
or girl In college thought t h a t anything and everything t h a t could be
p u t over on the professor was fair
and according to the rules of the
game—that when student and facmet the result was a tug of
war.
the reason for the present discussion In regard to revamping our colleges so that they may be
more pleasing to t h e student and at
the same time better fit him to meet
the problems t h a t he must confront
as soon as he assumes his place
economically," he said.
Would Oast Thousands
Dr. Kallen spoke of the difficulties of changing conditions and
courses In colleges and universities
today and said 'hat It would mean
the ousting of thousands of men and
women teachers who had devoted
iives in preparation for their
profession.
He stressed the fact t h a t our civilisation was highly speeded up and
complicated to a degree undreamed
ot a century ago. "Our whole lives
are conditioned by social structures.
ot which we are hardly conscious
but which nevertheless determine
our destiny." he said.
"Dependence on outside forces is
t h e chief fact of our present
Ration and It is this fact which is
responsible for the tremendous elaboration of our educational system."
He spoke of the culture taught hi
modern schools and declared that it
represented vestiges of dead vocations.
"This means that we are imposing
on our schools, which are modern
lies of the past
in consequence we have a conflict
of direction," he said.
John H. Gordon presided,
Mrs. C. F. Haug was chairman ott
the evening in the absence of Mir.

Holds U. S. Credit Policy
Is Independent of Gold
Because of the huge American
gold stocks the United States, particularly since the passage of the
Glass-Steagall bill, Is able to determine Its credit policy without reference to 5*>ld supply, according to
James Harvey Rogers of Tale University in an address last night at
the New School for Social Research.
"UrillM in man? countries—r.t least
since the passage of th» Gla«
gall blll-our credit policies, both domestic and foreign, can be determined
almost without reference to their effects upon our jrold supply." he said.
"If a credit pxpannion policy is indicated. It can now be initiated and
carried forward without any Immediate gold threat. The fact that this
could not have been safely done only
a few weeks ago makes clear to us
the advnntages of a plentiful supply
of Ihi- money metal.
"The disadvantages—aside from the
coat of maintaining great idle noninterest bearing hoards—arise primarily out of the relative shortages which
the great accumulations in France
and in Ihe United States have produced in other countries."

Modern
They played the Haydn quartet In D;
the remainder ot the program, as
might have been expected from representatives of an organization 'hat
has done so much to bring to light
Important new talents, was devoted to
compositions In more modern vein.
The first number, "Angels," by Carl
Ruggles was scored for six stringed
instruments. I t waa repeated a t the
close T>f the program.
The
other
works were a quartet- by Mltya Stillman, given its first performance, and
an early Hindemith quartet, the third,
in C.
The contrast offered was a striking one. The quartet of Haydn, like
Its numerous brothers from the
same pen, skipped and glided along
gracefully, full of t h a t characteristic justness, elegance and inevitable
development, as if it had sprung
spontaneously from a secret h a r mony of Nature.
Little of this peace and formal
beauty marked t h e contemporary
contributions. Mr. Ruggles' "Angels"
shows a knowledge of Instrumental
resources and a fluent ability to
delineate a melancholy mood, out
boast little point or originality to
enchain the mind.
T h e early Hindemith quartet epitomizes the modern trend. In its
opening and closing allegro movements it moves restlessly, excitedly,
one might say aimlessly tentatively,
casting about for novel tricks of
tone, and speaking a newborn dialect of t h e mother tongue
Yet between these movements one finds an
adagio full of a strange, a n d poign a n t expressiveness.
T h e League of Composers ensemble is new. but it played with
a m a t u r e technical proficiency as
well a s a particular sympathy for
t h e new voices of music.

He regards his countryman. Lulgl

Slgnor Bprghese's first encounter
with American cooking was sad. Now,
fully Americanized in a culinary
sense, he begins his meals with tomato juice and enjoys country sausages
and ice cream. He thinks American
coffee is the best in the world, that
the cocktail !s America's contribution to the art of drinking, but that
good wines are practically non-existent here.
His favorite working hours are between 10 and 12 in the morning,
which constituted a regular routine

Ennui Described As ^'Passivity
Illness" In Talk At Educators' Meet
"The passivity illness, which is responsible for our general boredom and
frantic search for vicarious distractions, can be cured by creative doing,"
Ralph M. Pearson, of the I ^ ^ S c h a g ^ j
forSocia^teseKjh^Jew YorWRy!|
bers of the Progressive Education Association at the Emerson Hotel.
"All humans have some degree of
creative ability, which grows with
use." Mr. Pearson asserted. "All have
sensitiveness to relations of colors and
forms. Most of. .us make almost no use
of these potentialities, contenting ourselves with a passive acceptance of
such creations of others as are handed
to us on the silver platter of our commercialized society.

"And," he went on, "most children
who do creative work In school or in
i one class in school are not shown how
that work can carry over into every

"If we did use our potentialities and
if a broad vision did train children to
apply a creative attitude of mind to
life it is easy to read into the resulting possibilities the cures for many
of the ills of modern life."

••Antiquarian H a b i t "
; In addition to the passivity illness,
(which Mr. Pearson cited as an example, he referred, too. to "the antiquarian
habit of mind with its enthusiasms for
ithe creative doings of long dead per,sons with which we try to compensate
,for the lack of direct experience."
"These limited curings would enrich
life even without touching the quality
of the thing done," he said. "Conside r a t i o n s of quality, relationships of
P parts and all the refinements of exaperience which come under the head
of creative design would open up

The contestants said some Wise

Mr. Pearson outlined the enlarged
and reorganized educational program
which we said was the one and only
way to meet the issue, giving in considerable detail the scope and character of the teaching. He also sketched
the results on the individual of creative practice, showing how these results affect his judgment, hie personal
practice, his purhcase of manufactured
articles and so his entire environment.
Exhibits Textiles
To illustrate his discussion Mr.
Pearson exhibited a set of creative textiles designed by students of Miss
Mary E. Regan of Textile High School
in New York city. A number of objects
made by children for their own use
were also displayed, including two
rugs by 6 and 10 year olds. The collection showed what might be generally
produced and used if the process back
of a child's invention in color were
understood and applied in other departments of life.

"They could change the whole
quality of our physical environment
and our attitude toward things and life
to a more alive, adventurous and contemporary one than is now habitual
in this country," he continued. "They
could so increase the thrill and the
richness of living if t h e nature of
creative a r t were widely recognised,
if the experience of creating with
hands, mind and emotions were assimilated through practice and if the
perspective on creative production
and its effects on people, gained by
practice and understanding were
widely and consistently applied. The
possibilities are startling."

"Elevated." Lithograph by Can Knlski.
Gan Kolski. artist, whose woodcuts and lithographs were shown in February in the gallery
of the Mew School n! Social Research. New
York, and who previously had exhibited at the
Dcnks Gallery, jumped off the north walk
of the George Washington Bridge over the
Hudson, and his body was crushed on the rocks
200 feet below. In bis pockets were four identical messages reading:
"To All:—If you cannot hear the cry of the
-*T;
tf
starving millions, listen to the dead, brothers.
Your economic system is dead. Please cremate
me."
Kolski had begun to achieve considerable
distinction as an artist.
His lithograph,
"Provincctown." was included in the "Fifty
Prints of the Year" in 1930, and his "Court
Yard" was among the fifty of 1931. On the
day before his suicide, announcements were
sent out by Delphic Studios, New York, including his work in a group exhibition of
American prints, to last until May 8. One of
his last lithographs, "The Elevated," is shown,
along with "Brooklyn Bridge," "Lunch Wagon." "Steam Shovel" and three others.
Kolski was 35 years old, and married.

Miss Cameron then goes on to

problems of book making, whether
of using a special format to gain
attention for a new writer of unusual verse, of combining a dignified
form type with illustration, or of
any number of other problems."

that trade editions today represent
