THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. SATURDAY, AUG. 31, 1918.

MUSIC OF LIFE ; IS DISCUSSED

"Music is everywhere, and for those who do not sing or play gome Instrument there still remains the music of llTing a harmonious life." said Francis II. Green In his lecture on "The Harmony of Life" Friday evening, which was a mingling of wisdom and humor, poetry and wit. Many pronounced the speaker as great an attraction as Irvin Cobb. The symbolism carried through the lecture was the likeness of qualities, which go to make up virtues in human living, to notes of a musical scale. But the interest of the audience was held as much by the anecdotes which were interspersed throughout the talk, and the recurrent allusions and quotations from the best poets which made the lecture a "bouquet of posies, culled from other men's gardens and simply tied together with a string of my own" as the speaker put it. "I am sorry the 'Star Spangled Banner Is so difficult to sing," said Mr. Green. "It undoubtedly is purely American all the way through. It even begins with, 'Oh say.' " "After I heard Edison say that no man had as much as one-seventh millionth part of one percent of knowledge, it made me thoughtful for some time. But it didn't make me feel lonesome." Beatitudes which the speaker suggested were "Blessed are bath tubs," and "Blessed Is soap."

At the Chautauqua

NEGRO SINGERS ARE POPULAR WITH CROWD .. Continued applause almost prevented the Jubilee singers from being able to conclude their program Friday evening after the presentation of the steam calliope and the "funny songs" which the male quartet gave. The old camp-meeting songs, which always ;have been favorites with the Chautauqua audiences, were as enthusiastically received as ever, and the new features, fhort humorous stories which were told by the "tall thin tenor man," made the children, who thronged the front seats, shout with laughter. The seven members in the troupe included the male quartet, who had unusually good voices for jubilees, a very high soprano singer, a contralto and tie pianist. Their program included many patriotic numbers and old folk songs, besides "I Love You Truly," "The Itosary," "Somewhere a Voice is Calling," and other semi-classical numbers. Tho entertainment closed with "The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground."

HEARD ON THE GROUNDS. "Talk about distinguished Jubilee Singers, did you hear that soprano? 'Madame' Buckner was evidently French in name, copied SchumannHeink in German gestures, and sang 'Coming Through the Rye,' in Scotch dialect" "Combination of colors on the Chautauqua program is right. Thursday, a red man, Friday black and Green, and Saturday a string of Hrubys." "Say, on the level, when that bunch of Jubilee singers got through giving the Steam Calliope, I thought somebody'd have to get an ambulance for me. I had such a pain from laughing I was scared it was appendicitis." "Hey, Red, going over to the water carnival?" "What do you mean, 'Going over'? I've been having one right here for the past week." "Wish Mr. Bentley had suggested wearing your bathing suits several days ago. I have ruined three skirts and four pairs of shoes, while my perfectly good swimming outfit is hanging up at home." "Well, I'd join the nurses' reserve myself if I could do any good, but the minute I'd see anyone get sick or bleeding, they'd have to carry me out feet first." "Say, I wonder if Mr. Green was out to the Chautauqua about eleven o'clock the other night. It almost sounded as though he spoke from experience when he said anyone who couldn't sing and did sing ought to he put in Sing Sing."

APPEAL FOR ARMY NURSES IS MADE "The Making of a Nurse" a feature film designed to interest more girls In the nurses reserve, was shown at the Chautauqua Friday evening. Dr. L. F. Ross, who introduced the film, made a plea for more girls to show their patriotism and fill the need which has been caused by the assignment of all the best trained nurses to overseas duty, and a completely new set of nurses being needed for training. Any girl with a high school educa- ' ticn. from the ages of nineteen to thirty-five, is eligible. She has no ex- . penses and is paid $15 a month. For , two years she will be trained in tho j hospitals of America, and the third i year sent abroad.

Three Btars are on the service flag In the Hruby family who came Saturday to give the final musical numbers on the Chautauqua program. There are six brothers and two sisters in the remarkable family, and all are capable of playing two or more instruments. Together with their father, who had been a noted leader of Hungarian orchestras until his death, the family has been on the Chautauqua platform since 1911, but this year two of the boys and one brother-in-law are in over-seas service, and two substitutes are in their place. Their programs are made up of a varied number of selections patriotic,

classical and popular, according to the requests of the audience. One of their most popular numbers is a medley of patriotic airs -which has been ben arranged by the older brother, and is dedicated to "The Boys." - It begins with the representation of early morning, when the dawn breaks calmly but is soon followed by the call for reveille and mess call, then the trench songs interspersed with the Ennglish and French national anthems, sounding faintly in the distance and suddenly the call to arms, a representation of the battle and finally the victory, ending with the Star Spangled Banner. In other cities where' this has been

given it has been requested to be repeatd two and three times, stated one member of the company. One peculiar instrument which the Hruby Orchestra carry with them is what they term a cellophone, which was invented by one of their friends and is the only instrument of the kind in the world. It somewhat resembles a violin cello except that it has but one string, and attached to this string is a phonographic horn which is connected with a disk and a needle, so that when the instrument Is played the string goes through a needle, and the sound produced- is very like a human voice. Members of the company include Frank Hruby who plays the clarinet, piano and alto clarinet. Alois Hruby who plays the cello, cornet and cellophone, John Hruby who plays the violin and cornet, Arline Hruby who plays the flute, Mayme Hruby who plays the piano and cello and who

sings. William Hruby who plays the cornet and drums, and who impersonates Creatore and Sousa; Hazlett and Ziska who play the cello and violin. The company come commended as being very high in musical circles in Cleveland where the brothers are instructors in one of the music schools 8nd their ability Is recognized by every one.
