PRESTO

Buenos Aires orchestra leader, Robledo, who heard
the clock strike three every morning as he quit work
and started home. That town sits up late. It imme-
diately became popular in England, where we re-
corded the composition. A good many people got
the idea that it was an English composition. Then
for five or-six years it lay dormant. Suddenly, about
a year ago, you began to hear that waltz in the dance
halls and on the street pianos; it had arrived at last
because it was good music of its kind."
TO RUN "JAZZ" OUT OF CHURCHES
Chairman of National Federation of Music Is Work-
ing to Purify Sacred Song.
• Jazz music is to be run from the church, if Mrs.
Grace Wiedney Mabee, chairman of church music of
the National Federation of Music Clubs, has her way.
Mrs. Mabee has organized the church musicians of
Kansas City into a body to work for the general up-
lift of church music. Her home is in Los Angeles.
"The jazz melodies used in so many of our Sunday
schools and churches are an abomination," said Mrs.
Mabee. She also condemned the popular hymns of
the Billy Sunday type.
"That kind of music is not going to hold the young
people in the church," she said. "It already has
failed at doing this."
Mrs. Mabee made a plea for the Sunday schools
and churches to go back to the hymns of Bach, Han-
del and Beethoven.
"Better music will bring better persons to the
church," she declared. "The music service is of as
much spiritual importance as is the sermon. The
trouble is that too many ministers don't know good
music. They sing the same ten or twelve hymns
throughout the year."
Mrs. Mabee said the church members should be-
come familiar with the fine old hymns of Luther's
day and then they would learn to enjoy them. Her
plans for improving church music include:
A compulsory music course in divinity schools.
The organization of the church musicians in every
city.
The establishment of music libraries in churches.
The opening of church bureaus with which singers
could enroll.
