America would make tremendous progress in
music if Americans would no longer yield to the
influence of Europeans, according to Sir Hugh
AI'KII. 4, 1925
Sir Hugh was unwilling to commit himself
to a definite forecast of the possible effect of the
phonograph and radio on music, saying it was
too early to draw conclusions.
"Jazz is incredible because it is incredible to
listen to three or four airs at one and the same
time. In jazz, as I understand it, there is a
criss-cross of theme ad rhythm. To an ear at-
tuned to music ir is dull and meaningless. If
it is the rhythm that fascinates people, then
they can get the same effect by pounding on
tom-toms."

Ldward B. Marks, head of the music com-
pany bearing his name, who is responsible for
bringing to ibis country such numbers as "Just
for 'To-Night," "Buimncl IVlrus" and the still
popular "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," has
again brought three foreign successes to the
American market. This time the numbers ema-
nate from Mexico, France and Germany. The
first of this is "Corazon Roto" (Broken Heart),
a copyrighted melody which received its origi-
nal popularity in Mexico City, which was quickly
lollowed by success in South American cities.
The number lias already been released on the
Vocalion record.
Another acquisition by Edward B. Marks is
"Sleeping- Beauty's Wedding." This number
will particularly appeal to singing orchestras
and artists. The American lyrics should have a
wide appeal. The piano copies also contain a
saxophone arrangement so that the purchase of
"Sleeping Beauty's Wedding' 1 gives the musi-
cian a combined song, fox-trot and saxophone
solo.
