Speculate Oven Ef feet of War on Art

OH World Made Rapid Adjustment To Wartime Coridfa and Opened Brilliant Concert Season as Usual

By FORREST DAVIS , Long-headed folks already ' have . commenced to speculate upon the possible effect of war upon the fine arts, upon the stage, the opera and the concert , platform. Some of them hare predicted direful 'days for the drama and for music as a result of America's entrance into the world cataclysm. . . But they, have overlooked the effect .of the war . on , the arts , in the European nations, to which the war means vastly more than it. ever can mean to us. , , j ; Artists Return to Countries - For a few months after the war began the arts were prostrated. Many of the artists, including a horde of the smaller fry, came to America to make their . homes. A majority of these have made their way back since the re-adjustment. , ' After the flrst shock of conflict had 'vorn away, matters artistic were adjusted and public performances went on much as they had before the war. For the last two years the theaters and ' concert halls in all the leading capitals have been as brilliant as ever and performances in the provinces have not suffered to any material exUnt. -'' " ' London's concert halls have been crowded. Even in , Germany music has gone on uninterruptedly. Operas

are given and produced as of yore and music, has nearly as "many devotees as before, despite .the immense numbers of men who are away from home. Only Change Noticeable - In Paris the only change noticeable in the opera houses, concert, halls or theaters is that the auditors have been restricted to ordinary dress and evening clothes and fancy frocks are taboo. - . ;. ; . . ;' . ' The people have demanded ayfull measure of.; plays, operas and concerts as a means of relieving .the tension of life. They must be entertained, they must continue' their interest in art, they assert. . And there is less poverty in these warring nations than before the-war. Wages are higher and high prices' are prevented by 'governmental regulations.- ' , : After America has been in the war three , months, matters at home will settle back nearly to normal and the people will demand a diversion to relieve the 6tress. Then the theater and the concert hall will regain their grip upon the public, . s . ..As a result of the extraordinary pleasure given by Galli-Curci's concert here the cry - has gone up for more music, : Richmond has seen that it may en-

A NEW FAVORITE IN MCHMONi) THE Brunswick Phonograph has created a sensation. Everyone who hears it agrees that it is a combination of them all a supreme achievement.

A wealthy Chicago man had this

with phonographs

He recently bought a high-priced model

of a certain widely advertised phonograph.

"Because," lie told his wife, "it is the best.'

He believed it. Through a friend, however, a Starr Phonograph was seat to his house for comparison. That was some months ago. Result: the other machine has been sold. The wealthy man has since carefully compared his Starr Phonograph with machines owned by friends. He says: "None of them equals the Starr to tone." Comparison, before purchase, will prove this to you, too. The reason is: Only Starr Phonographs have a human-like "singing throat' fashioned wholly from silver grain spruce. This vibrant wood, of super sensitiveness, imparts a silvery clearness of tone which is nowhere approached. We invite you to call and judge for yourself. And the greater the number of other phonographs you have heard, the greater wiD be your surprise and pleasure upon listening to
