"1 have not really invented anything," he ex-
plaineu i his arrival. "I wanted to express
American industry and American architecture
and found that 1 could not do that with the
conventional music, so 1 proceeded to develop
new forms. Where the ordinary orchestra
builds up its music on the basis of strings, 1
build up my music by the use of percussion.
Every sound is caused by something hitting
something else and will fall roughly into one
of three categories. These are steel, wood and

BECAUSE it represents the best value

BECAUSE he is protected against loss

Carrying with him airplane propellers, with
the machinery for manipulating them, two oc-
taves of electrical bells and other mechanical
devices, instead of the ordinary orchestra in-
struments, George Antheil, the twenty-six-year-
okl American composer who has been called by
foreign critics a creator of new forms, arrived
recently on the Cunard liner "Ascania" to show
his countrymen what their civilization sounds
like when translated into modernistic music.
He was accompanied by his wife, who is a
niece of Arthur Schnitzler, the Viennese writer.
He will play in Carnegie Hall on April 10.

these are "Never Without You," "It's O. K.
