JAZZ ON TRIAL BY CLUB
Strange Variation of Opinion Develops in Discussion
at Chicago Meeting.
The Music Study Club, Chicago, is holding a series
of discussions on "Jazz Rhythm the Basis of a
Purely American Type of Music," and in it is re-
vealed that husbands call it the fountain of youth
and wives say it is mere jangles of sound that need
discipline. At a meeting of the club this week A. C.
Babize, the publisher, said:
"Jazz is the fountain of youth for America.
The progress of a nation is shown by its
changing, original types of music. We should be
proud of our jazz music. It is the coming form of
composition."
Mrs. Babize sounded a discord by saying:
"Jazz is an American child that needs discipline.
It should be taken to a foundling institution and be
given the proper bringing up. Jazz is an outrage
to America."
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Bird also differed.
"Jazz music is a sign of progress," said Mr. Bird, a
music critic.
Then Mrs. Bird: "Jazz is a jingle-jangle. It is not
music, but a dangerous disease. It is only a fad and
will not last."
The "Trial of Jazz" was continued until the meet-
ing next week, at which grand opera stars and lovers
of the opera will be invited to testify for "the state."
Testimony will include: Exhibit A—Selections of
Wagner, Beethoven and other operatic writers. Ex-
hibit B—Choice bits from modern song hits.
REMICK SONG IN ROLL.
One of the big sellers in Ampico rolls of new popu-
lar music with words is "Carolina in the Morning,"
a fox-trot published in the sheet music form by
Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York. As a hit it is
a big profit-maker in sheet as it will be following its
appearance as a roll in the March Ampico recordings.

BEWARE THE BARITONE.
John Charles Thomas, the well known baritone
idol of the musical comedy stage, was divorced by
his wife because he bit her in the shoulder until the
blood came, says the Chicago Tribune. Which proves
that, if a girl must marry a singer, she should wed
only a tenor or a bass. Baritones must be the rough
old things.
