Kahn continued. "I look upon it as an expres-
sion of art worthy of encouragement where it
is serious. Such expression should be given
scope. That is my son's purpose. Out of this
jazz wave, developed in America, there will
come a medium of American artistic expression
in music which will be characteristically Ameri-
can. George Gershewin in his 'Jazz Rhapsody'
has treated jazz themes in a fine and serious
manner. It is music of the jazz rhythm, of
for the
the jazz temperament, and of the jazz orches-
tration. I do not regard music conceived in
this vein as a passing phase. It is of a serious

replied: "Thank God, I can appreciate things
that are artistic, even though it be not classical.
I am always interested in the development of
any promising art movement in America." He
said that he had left his son in Italy, where
he was playing and studying music.
In speaking of grand opera, Mr. Kahn said
that he had felt for a long time that the Metro-
politan Opera House was inedaquate and an-
tiquated for the proper presentation of opera
for the New York public and badly located, as
it is in the center of the congested district

He also thought there should be more com-
fortable accommodation for the thousands of
people in this city who wish to see grand opera
but who cannot afford to pay the prices for
the higher seats at the Metropolitan Opera
House.
Mr. Kahn said that if one traveled through

The thirty-eighth season of the famous Al. G.
Field Minstrels opened recently and from all
accounts this season's show surpasses in nov-
elty and settings anything heretofore attempted
by this finely equipped organization. The
strong appeal of the honest-to-goodness min-
strel show is not likely to wane so long as
programs like those presented by the Field
troupe continue to delight the old and new
timers alike. To the manifold excellencies of
the original ideas have been and are constantly
being added the modern improvements of stage
lighting and similar agreeable effects, so that
this form of entertainment is well able to hold
its own with its more modern if less unsophisti-
cated competitors. Amid the many really striking

of the concern said this week. "Our sheet
music sales have been brisk all Summer and
the demand for this merchandise," he declared,
"especially popular numbers, is on the increase."
Best sellers at the Poling store in recent weeks
have been "Limehouse Blues," " J u n e Night,"
"Sweet Little You," "Marcheta," "Maytime"
and "Doodle Doo Doo." Orchestra music as
well as teachers' music has been in good de-
mand throughout the Summer. An even better
volume of business in sheet music is expected
from now on, according to Mr. Poling. The
Poling store put in this department a year ago.
