New York Globe Reporter Gathers Some Views
on That More or Less Important Subject
One of the features of the New York Globe
are the views on various subjects gathered by-
one of the reporters. Each day a question is
asked of four or five citizens taken at random,
and the answers are published. The other day
the question was "What Is Your Opinion of
Jazz Music?" The answers should prove inter-
esting, both to the advocates of jazz and those
who are opposed to it. They were:
1. T. C. Cavanaugh, railroad business, Penn-
sylvania Terminal: "Jazz is degenerative music.
They introduce any wrong note they wish and
make the music sound funny. The public likes
this; it appeals to the subconscious sense. I
can't stand it."
2. E. M. McDaniel, traveling auditor, Mexi-
can Petroleum Co.: "It's up-to-date, twentieth
century music. There is pep and rhythm to
it. We are living in an age where that music
appeals to us. I approve of it."
3. J. S. Turner, wholesale paints, Pennsyl-
vania Hotel: "With all our culture and art and
civilization, like the primitive man we have re-
turned to the wild, discordant music that he used
to lash him into a fury in his religious dances.
I don't like it."
4. J. D. Rosenbaum, automobile business, 1133
Broadway: "The South African savage and the
red Indian in the West have their tom-toms.
We have turned from beautiful, harmonious
music to worse than the tom-tom. It jars me."
5. Charles Reyeur, musician, 523 West 133d
street: "1 play classical and I play jazz, be-
cause the public demands it, but after a night
of jazz my nerves are all upset and unstrung.
Hut what can you do? The public wants it."
