Fears We Will
Be Music Dumb
New York.—America, said Paul
Whiteman, is on the road to be
coming music dumb.
A serious expression played a
cross the face of the man whom
Broadway still calls its master of
jazz.
Emphatic About It
"I mean it,” he said, smashing
the baton he held in his hand as he
tried to emphasize his remarks,
"In eight years we have almost
exhausted a music library it took
800 years to build.
" 'Billions for foreign music, but
not a cent for the creation of A
merican music’ seems to be our
motto.
"Why should we spend fortunes
for European opera—a form of ex
pression entirely foreign to us?
"In this country a man says to
a girl:
"'I’m making 5 0 bucks a week,
kid, let’s get married,’ instead of all
that grand opera stuff of guitars,
moonlight and roses.
"In 'The Girl of the Golden
West’ they tried to make us be
lieve that when a man asked for a
drink he said:
He Gives An Example or Two
" 'Give—oh give—won’t you
give—give me—give me a drink?’
Boom. Orchestra brasses.
"That flowery stuff is all right
in Germany. They act that way
over there. When they go into a
cv L/u^1 cigai vn-cj, kiic V i
keeper says: !
" 'Well, how’s your wife? Do
you think the Kaiser’ll ever come
back? What’s your boy doing? Oh
—yes—cigarettes.’
"Over here we say: 'Give me a
pack of cigarettes,’ and the clerk
says’ "Two-bits,’ and that is the
end of it.
"If we set aside one-rhous.:i'.d:h
of what we spend, on foreign cul
ture, we could start some real crea
tive American music.
"We have too many seats and
not enough ideas. Instruments of
platinum and no music, delivery
is ahead of creation. We built the
theatres and forgot the actors and
plays. We built the music halls
and forgot the muisc.
How It Should Be Done
"Industrialists are smart enough
to spend fortunes on research. Why
not us? But those who hold the
purse strings are twiddling their
fingers and endowing foreign
opera.
"Some millionaire really inter
ested in music ought to say to a
group of musicians, 'Here is an
endowment. Now go off in the
mountains and slave for four
months turning out something
good, then give half a dozen, con
certs. After that you can go back
to Hollywood or Broadway and
make your real money for the rest
of the year if you want to.’ ”
The usual broad Whiteman
smile came back as the orchestra
leader recalled his introduction of
Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue,”
which, he explains, is an example
of what American music can be
"We threw it down their throats
ind made ’em like it,” he said with
t chutkle, as he rushed off to keep
i string of appointments.
Authority
Asked Over
Utilities
Power Commission To Seek Con
trol Of Holding Cos.
A broad expansion of its regu
atory authority over public utility
companies will be recommended to
Congress by the power commis
sion.
In its annual report, the com
nission urged that it be authorized
to require concerns with federal
icenses, including holding com
panies, to submit any information
desired, as an aid to their supervi
sion.
General Plan Ready
While the recommendations
had to do only with federal
[icenses—those operating on public
[and or navigable streams—the
commission gave notice that a pro
gramme for general regulation was
being held in abeyance pending in
vestigations in that field by Senate
and House committees.
“It is convinced, however, the
commission said, "that the public
irfterest requires the early vesting
of authority in the federal gov
ernment to control, so far as it
may be determined to be within its
jurisdiction, the regulation both ot
electricity in interstate commerce
and of the holding company in
the power industry.”
Two Basic 'Purposes
Explaining that "any theory of
federal regulation of the holding
company should be considered
with two foundamental purposes
in view,” the commission listed
them as:
"First—Regulation of the hold-'
ing company in relation to the
operating company and through
the operating company to the con
sumer of electrical energy; and,
second, regulation of the holding
company in relation to the'invest
ing public, which is principally
interested in the securities of such
holding company.”
"Any draft of holding company
legislation,” the report continued,
"must incorporate three major pro
visions:
List Major Provisions
"First, a declaration of jurisdic
tion.
"Second, a declaration concern
ing evidence of control and the
burden of proof.
"Third, a grant of authority to
acquire complete information upon
which such regulation and control
can be predicated.”
"The vital and essential prere
quisite to any exercise of authority
over either holding companies or
utilities engaged in interstate com
merce,” the commission said, "is
the acquisition of the knowledge
of company affairs upon which in
telligent action toward regulation
may be had.
"This information once avail
able, the regulatory body, whether
federal or State, is equipped to act
It is in this field that the Federal
Commission is in better position'
to act, for both legal and practical
reasons.”
Out Of Job
And Broke,
Gets $1000
Waterburv, Conn.—J. L. Allard,
62, who has been out of work for
two years, is asking his friends to
pinch him "hard” so as to make
sure that he isn’t dreaming. One
morning Allard didn’t have a dol
lar in his pocket, but before night
fall he had a thousand dollars in
the savings bank, and has a bank
book to prove it.
Walking the streets Allard pick
ed up a briefcase lying in the gut
ter on Bank street and brought it
home. The case was closed so Al
lard couldn’t trace the owner but
he inserted an ad in Waterbury
American. William Keegan of St.
Louis rolled up to Allard’s home in
a big sedan. He told Allard he
had read the ad and that he was
the owner of the brief case.
Keegan then took a key out of;
his pocket, opened the brief case
and began drawing out bills of
$1000 denomination, he counted
off 16 bills and then counted $600
in hundred-dollar bills, $54 in odd
denominations and 54 cents in
change. "$16,654.54, it’s all there,”
Keegan declared as he handed Al
lard a $1000 bill for a reward.
Keegan told Allard that he was
in the East buying up real estate
and always carried large amounts
of cash with him. He believed the
brief case had fallen out of his
automobile. Allard reported the
matter to the police and Water
bury papers just to make sure that
the money wasn’t counterfeit.
ONE DICTATOR
Kinston.—Judge E. H. Cranmer
will permit no one to dictate to
him, he told lawyers in Superior
court here when he learned prose
cution and defense counsel had
reached an "agreement” in a case.
Their agreement would not al
ter the status of the case before
the court, he informed them, “I
allow no one to tell me what I shall
or shall not do, except my wife,”
he said.
"Even then I have the last
word,” he added drily.
"When she tells me to do some
thing I say; 'Yes ma’am.’
Dan Harris, 66, cancer doctor
by mail, is held in Raleigh on a
charge of carnal attack on a
Johnston county girl, 12, who is
said to have lured to his office for
tuberculosis treatment. He is
held under $2,500 bond.
GASTONIA THEATRE BURNS
Loss of nearly $100,000, cov
ered by insurance, was sustained in
the burning of the Ideal theatre,
Gastonia. Defective wiring is
thought the source of the fire.
