Two Sides of the Jazz Record
By J. O. HAMILTON
NEW YORK, April 7. A bitter controversy over jaz2 has burst forth in New York as the result of a recent play by J. Hartley Manners, called
whatever taste for god music there might be." " ' Irving Berlin, who has made a fortune in composing jazz hits, naturally
social customs now. Young women 1 go about alone-, everyone is more independent and all this Is duly reflected In-the music of the day." , At least one composer also, Miss Rebecca Clark, a young woman whose compositions for the viola have attracted favorable attention, takes a generous view of jazz. "I like it for its rhythm," she says, "and I consider it beter than the mawkish sentimentalbetter than the mawkish sentimentality of the English ballads. At the last
analysis, jazz is only primitive rhythm j
and In a way that is us trouDie.
mattes a primitive appeal, najiuunj, combined with rhythm, gives us some
thing else to respond to and to bring out emotions of a different kind. In Europe, jazz is much more highly regarded than in this country, although its widespread popularity has not been viewed by the bourgoise without a storm of scared protest. Over there, however, it has aroused 'with much interest among serious musicians who at least respect originality. And that jazz is an American product, in spite of its suposed jungle origin, cannot be denied. "But," 6ay8 one European authority, "if your serious American composers, through excess culture, continue to ignore or sneer at jazz, they may miss a very valuable opportunity the opportunity of initiating the next great
revolution in music. We may discover over here that jazz will furnish to Europe music that infusion of new blood and strength, that is now so necessary to its very life. In that event, it may return- to you Americans as 'modern music' with the stamp of Europe approval which pardon me seems so necessary to your cultured
classes in the United States. In other j
words what you now despise and reject as vulgar, cheap and contemptible your musicians may acclaim when eventually it re-apepars under a European label." How Jazz Started Meanwhile, jazz is undergoing a reform in this country. It started out in California a few years ago when a young musician in the San Francisco Symphony orchestra decided that he wanted to get rnarried, and that in order to accomplish the feat he would
have to have a larger, income than '
his symphony salary. There was only one thing for him to do to take up dance music. He did, and since then jazz has never been the same. As a trained and highly accomplished musician, he began taking all the popular "blues" songs and skillfully arranging them for orchestration. The average popular song consists
of merely one melody which is simply 1
repeated over "and over again. Ocasionally, at very rare intervals, a popu-1 lar song writer may grow extravagant and combine a couple of melodies, but j this is regarded as unecessarily waste- j ful. The one melody of the song is I the same as the theme of classical j music. Paul Whiteman was the first to conceive the idea of taking this one jazz melody and filling in the gaps between its occurrence with counter melodies. First comes a dramatic introduction leading up to the jazz melody, while after that each time the melody occurs it is preceded by a bit
jof say a Liszt rhapsody or a Chopin mazurka possibly even a difficult
passage by Bach. According to Mr. Whiteman this task, which is now being followed by nearly all the leaders of American dance orchestras, is one which should not incur the scorn of good musicians. "All classical music," ho says, "consists, in the final analysis, of the folk
themes of peasants which have been

one conspicuous contribution to music I rq
may appear a trifle late now that ; jazz in its wildest state has pased on , to Europe and has been replaced by ! a more refined phase over here, the j reform element in making the most of ' it. A bill atempting to regulate mod-j em dancing and dance music has re-' cently been introduced into the New ; York legislature, and will doubtless j be vigorously pushed through the law-, making machinery in the near future.' Meantime, New Yorkers of promi-: nerce, including many in the theatre and in the pulpit, are eloquently voicing their views on the subject. j "My objection to jaz," cays Miss Liaurette Taylor, whose talent and hercharming personality are making her husband's play. "The National Anthem." a great success, "is that one can't sit still when it is played. You just must get up and wear yourself out dancing. When you become accustomed to the pronounced rythm yon are unable to get that beautiful relaxation which comes from the apreciation of fine music. That is really doing a terrible Injury to young people." Miss Ida M. Tarbell, well known author, holds a somewhat similiar, view. i "Jazz is to me a very irritating Miing," she declares. "It assaults the nerves and dulls the brain. I do , not see how it can fall to have a de-t moralizing effect if one subjects one's J self to it constantly. Drink is its natural accompaniment. I have been : across the continent five times, and, everywhere on the streets and in the) hoteis I heard it. One could dance ; a great dal to harmonious music, I j fhould think, and not have this terri-j ble nervous excitement. But jazz is
not mutiio." Jazz Cuts Down Booze On the other hand. Miss Margaret
Uawkesworth, dance organizer, as-j pcrts that jazz serves a high and noble j purpose In diverting people, and thus ; keeping them out of trouble. "I believe that people would all drink more j without it," she says. "I see no conect- j ion betwen jazz and drink except that j if there were nothing to do in the : evening people would be more likely to j sit around and drink. Jazz goes thru j all classes of our national life and I ; think it is here to stay. It is a god-i pend for both upper and lower classes." i This opinion is echoed by Mrs. Chas. j Tiffany, prominent New York matron i who says: "It seems to me that danc-j lng has done more good than harm.' Older people exercise as they never; did before. People are more sociable more human. And after all, jazz af-j fects only a fraction of the population. Eighteenth century drawing-roms were just as shocked by the waltz and!
other so-called round dances, as we pre today by the ultra-modern steps that accompany jazz music." ' A nerve specialist quoted by a New
York newspaper considers jazz very j l;ad for the world in general, while ! j well known priest declares that it ' is "rotten," leading to nil sorts of , JdSCivlou3 dancing and destroying
