time been representative. This
might hase been so had we had spe-
cial nights set aide for the perform-
ance of symphonies, operatic pot-
pourr i s, overtures, etc., or reserved
fur the compositions of \Vaguer, or
tirieg, or Tschaikowski. As it was,
the programs were as heterogeneous
as the audiences: under which condi-
tions applause, no matter how spon-
taneous, cannot be divorced from the
expression of crowd enthusiasm, pure
and simple.
limit 1 have observed that when
Wagner and Tschaikowski, and to
some extent Grieg, were featured, the
very first sound of their music vis -
ibly affected the audience. Chatter
and laughter suddenly ceased; the at-
mosphere became charged with an in-
tensity of purpose that might have
been interpreted as the spirit of sin-
cere appreciation; while tint' applause,
!totality after the Wagnerian HUM-
hers, left no doubt in my mind that
here, in the idiom of the greatest of
all operatic composers the public
found its truest interpreter of those
emotions which are basic, emotions
which receive their highest expres-
sion through the medium of beauti-
ful sounds beautifully produces!, viz.,
music.
Only the most narrow-minded
chauvilest would decry the tendency
of the musical public to so unmistak-
ably show its preference for the com-
positions of these two anarchs of
modern music, %Vagner and Tschai-
kowski. No one dare dare deny their
influence now or belittle their very
present power to bring enjoyment
always charged with a thrill to a
public satiated with the sickly, noisy,
empty brazeness of jazz.
After which preamble, I dare won-
der Why there has not been an earlier
demand for more 11'agner, more
Tschaikowski. The number of men
playing under Mr. Kolar is surely
sufficiently equipped to cope with the
instrumental demands of the score to
the "Lohengrin" prelude, universally
beloved, the "Rienzi" overture, the
dramatic "Ride of the Valkyries,"and
hitherto unplayed parts of "Siegfried"
and "'Ilse Mastersingers." Here is
wholesome, inspiring fare for the un-
tutored as well as the intelligentsia,
a ant' cal menu that would meet With
the test of a satisfying and success-
ful concert program. The same thing
is trite of the Tschaikowski table
Whole. Why have we not heard the
beautiful "Romeo and Juliet" over-
ture, the series of orchestral sketches
called "I be Seasons, or the charm-
ing waltzes from the "Snow Maiden?"
These would prove refreshing dishes
on a board jaded by too much Strauss
and Herbert and Lampe, and a host
of lesser musical "compositore."
The Arena season still has three
weeks to its credit. Shall we !nave a
night for Puccini, another for
and a double bill for Mascagni and
Leoncavallo? Bizet could easily fill
an evening; so could N1,,issenet and
Gotmod jointly. And for good mea-
sure, cast a vote for a night of %Vag-
ner and one of Tschaikowski; it's a
safe bet—you can't go wrong.

MUSIC NOTES
T h e Arena "Pop" Programs.

BY HERMANN 110EXTER.

Before the present series of nightly
popular concerts at the Arena comes
to an end link month. 1 wish that the
management would arrange to have
at least one program prepared by
ballot: that is, give tine public an
opportunity to scud in a "request"
program of time favorite selections,
and choose the winning program
from a majority count of those sub-
mitted—the . composer or the selec•
lions receiving the greatest number of
requests to be featured in the order
of the voies cast for them on this
program. Aside from the advertis-
ing value of this scheme, I feel cer-
tain that the conductor, \I r. Kolar,
and the members of the orchestra
would like to know through other
channels than applause, just what the
tastes and preferences of their audi-
ences are.
I have followed the season at the
Arena closely, and have naturally
noted some interesting facts about
the various programs and the people
who listen to them. Neither the
audience nor the programs have at

They surely do things differently
up in New York. The National
Symphony Orchestra started the
season of summer concerts at the
I.ewisohn City College Stadium with
an attendance of TEN TIMUSAND!
A fund of $100,000.00 guarantees the
financial success of these excellent
out - of - door entertainments until the
season ends in September. To help
spread the gospel of good music at
popular prices, and win recruits to
the subscription lists if the various
New l'ork orchestras during the
winter season. the guarantors will
have the privilege of disposing of
10,000 free admissions during the sea-
sons. This helpful propaganda is car-
ried on almost entirely by the of-
ficials of the Music League of the
Veoples Institute, because they know
where to place their tickets and be
assured that they will not have been
given away in vain. Perhaps the next
slimmer season of popular concerts
in Detro't will inaugurate some such
method as that pursued by the wiser
philanthropists of musical New York.
Certainly a greater number of De-
troiters must be interested in music
summer as well as winter, than have
been in the Arena aud'ences this
season night after night.

of Detroit

Offers to Detroit an Issue of

$600,000
REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE SERIAL GOLD BONDS

T

Income:

Security:

HIS issue is secured by a first mortgage on 221

of the hundreds of new houses financed and
constructed by this corporation in the last
nine months to meet Detroit's housing needs. The
total sales value of these houses and the land upon
which they are built was $978,043.03, when they
were sold at the close of 1919. It is at present over
$1,100,000. . .
The annual income on this property is $107.298,
and the maximum (first year) interest and ma-
turity charges are $86,000, leaving a margin of
approximately $21,000. This margin will constant-
ly increase as the bonds are retired and int erest
charges decrease
Bonds mature serially at the rate of $60,000 per
annum, payable semi-annnually, June 1 and Decem-
ber 1. The entire issue will have been paid off on
June 1, 1930.
This issue is a direct obligation of the House
Financing Corporation. As an additional security,
all land contracts, totaling approximately $800,000,
balance due the House Financing Corporation,
'lave been deposited with and assigned to the
Union Trust Co., Trustee.
More Than Fiscal Investment
cIN considering this issue, buyers of these bonds should bear

in mind that their money will be placed where it will do
r_) them good, where it will help their friends and neighobs
to secure houses and where it will insure the uture wel-
fare and prosperity of Detroit and thus bring another direct
return besides the interest. The House Finance Corporation is
engaged in building houses for Detroit workers and is in this
business alone. Its achievements to date have done much to
relieve congestion and it will constantly increase its scope if
accorded the support it deserves. Every house built in this
city means improved conditions for every individual and en-
terprise here.

Make It Better As Well As Bigger

Detroit's pride in being the fourth city of the country in population
is dimmed, in the minds of her thinking citizens, by the fact that there
is a housing shortage here that, unless remedied at once, will make our
living and business conditions even worse than now.
Before Detroit can rightfully claim to be as good a city as she is
big, the supply of houses for her citizens must approximate the de-
mand. The House Financing Corporation has a right to expect your co-
operation, through the purchase of the bonds now being offered, in
furtheringthe excellent work it is carrying on.

Management and Plans Are Sound

T

HE management of this company is in the hands of a board of directors of
27 men, representing the leading industrial, banking and mercantile inter-
ests of Detroit. The plans under which the House Financing Corporation
operates are so sound in their financial and physical conception and devel-
opments that any bonds the Corporation may issue will be absolutely self-
contained as to security and income and are issued on such a substantial basis that
as automatically to carry themselves to the last maturity both as to principal and

interest.

This entire loan will be used in financing more houses for Detroit workers, to
the end that this may be a better place for YOU to live and do business in.

Orders for these bonds will be received at the office of the House
Financing Corporation by mail, by telephone (Main 1324) or, better
still, call in person. Orders also will be received by any of the recog-
nized bond houses, the trust companies or the banks of Detroit. Do
your duty in helping Detroit solve her gravest problem and DO IT TO-
DAY!
