Mr. 1 Speaks refers to "Manlaly" as one of i his "best Sellers." i The following is quotel from a. recent 'letter to the writer, written bv Mr. Speaks. "In the first place, 1 believe the fan-i ciful verses of Kipling rire in a large measure for the success i-f th sung.

They Imvr a ery certain 1 api" "I whieh is undeniable. In the Seren'l uy setting nf the poem is ty simple as to form.

To quote Mr. Speaks's own words: "I have written about 140 songs and a number of part songs, along with a small number of little piano pieces.

I may also add that I have a pretty definite idea as to the musical value of the work I have done. I know the songs are not what are known as 'big All I have tried to do is to ex-prtss in music, as I felt It, the sentiment of the verse I had In hand. "Some other composer might have ret these same 1 lyrics with involved harmonies and made them much bigger songs. However, straightforward melody with the same kind of harmonic clothing has been the line I have follow, d. It is quite as hard to do this successfully as it is to do it the other way.

At least that is my way of think-ing. "I haven't any talent for verse writing "out I an. continually watching the magazines and newspapers for verse suitable for musical settings," Mr. Speaks's melodies are very human. They often have the charm and artlessness of folk-melodies.

The melody predominates In his songs. Hia accompaniments are background for the voice and strengthen the melody, Instead of distracting the attention from it. His patriotic Gong, "When the Boys Come Home," although written in 1011, was most deservedly popular during' the world war. Schumann-Helnk Includes It on many of her programs. A well-known French writer, Alfred DeMusset, said, "I drink from a small cup.

but it is my own." Mr. Speaks ranks at the highest in his chosen field. Important Things to Hemember. 1. The music for the song, "On the Kond to Mandnlay," was written by the American singer and composer, Oley Speaks.

2. The words of the song are taken from Kudyard Kipling's "Barrack Room Ballads." 3. Mandnlay is a marching song" which the British Tommy might sing on his marching. 4. The song Is martial and full of vigor with a haunting melody.

5. Mr. Speaks was born In Ohio and studied voice in New York, where he Is now living. 8. He is widely known as a concert singer nd composer of songs.

7. He has written about 140 songs, which, while not "big songs," are deservedly popular both with singers and audiences.

As I recnll it, the song took little time in the composing. I may sny that a few hours' time was all it took." The song Is written In three verses with a short introduction.

The composer's instructions arc that the piano introduction be played very lrmd (ff) and in "marching tempo." The martial feeling is established at once in the second measure by the drum roll on the phmo, which occurs constantly during the accompaniment. The words, "on the road to mandalay, where the flying fishes piny, an' the dawn comes up like thunder out of China 'cross the bay," return at the rinse of each verse with tile persistency of a t'effi. iii fr chorus. The melody for this refrain is haunting and its rhythm irresistible. A lilt of descriptive music is heard on Hi, phtase, "An' the ilawn comes up like thunder." Tin; rumble of the piano suggests the roar of "thunder." Airuidalny'' is a forceful song and undeniably masculine.

It is a song of the soldier. Marching undoubtedly would be when accompanied by Us abandon and regular tread. It Is what is railed by singers a "thankful" song. It lies well within the range of the average voice and is written with such freedom that It seems to sing Itself. It abounds with vitality and verve and is without a dull moment.

"Mnndfday" is always sure of an immediate response from an audience. Oley Speaks. Olcy Kpeaks was born in the vicinity of Columbus. In 1876. He lives at present in New York.
