That'sonereasonwhyIlikethetalkies.Everybodyelsehastobesilent whiletheactoriscarryingon,and, apartfromageneralattentiontothe curtainlecturehegetsbeforethemagic word"Camera!"hecanshowsomeindividuality.

Don'tthinkthatIhavesimply signedafilmcontractandengagedto dosomethingthatIonlyknowabout hazily.Ihaveseenpracticallyall thenewsoundfilms,and,forthatmatter,Ihavealwaysbeenamoviefan. Thepicturesweremyoneformofrelaxationontour.Iusedtodropin atamovieevenonthedayofaconcertappearance.

But,asfarasgoingintothemovies myself,Ihavealwaysheldback.Only whenIrealisedthatthetechnical equipmentcouldmakesuchperfectreproductiondidIyield.

TwoStories.

Twostoriesaboutmystageexperience.Thereistheonewhichcentres aroundmydebutatCoventGarden, whenIhadadramaticexittomake. Unfamiliarwiththeset,andhorribly confusedbythenecessityofsinging andactingatthesametime,and undersuchcircumstances,IturnedviolentlytowardswhatIthoughtwere thewings,andcrashedstraightthrough thescenery.

Onanotheroccasion,myperformancetalliedwithoneoftheimportant prizefightsofthetime-andIwas moreinterestedinthefightthaninthe opera.Iwasslightlypreoccupied duringmypresenceonthestage,glancingnervouslytowardsthewingsnow andthen,andateveryopportunity sidlingovertocatchthewhispered newsrelayedtomebyafaithful henchman.

Thatwassomeofmybestacting!

Someoftheexcitementwhichstirred meinthoseveryfirstdayshascome backtomenow.Frankly,Iamnervous.FiveminutesafterIhadsignedthecontractIwasnervous..There isonethingaboutthemovieswhich reassuredme.IfIgetstagefright, allIhavetcdoiswalkoff.However, I'lltrynottodothat.Whenyou realisethathoursofpreparationand asmallfortunewillhavegoneintothe proceedingsbeforeIstepuptothe camera,doyouthinkthatIwould causeanymoretroublebybeingtemperamental?Ihopenot.

So,whileIdon'tparticularlyliketo bebossed,atleastaboutmysinging,I imaginewecanworkprettywell-the directorsandtherestofthecompany andmyself.Itwon'tbeexactlylike havingaconductorstandingsomewheredownoverthefootlishtsand wavingalittlestickatyoueveryminutesothatyoucan'teventhinkof whatyououghttobesinging.Ican singthewayIwanttointhemovies, Perhapsitwillbesomethinglikea McCormackconcert.Ishouldliketo thinkso.

Aboutthepictureitself,Idonot knowanymorethananyoneelsedoes atpresent.Theyarewaitingfora storytodecideeverything.Tom Barry,whowrotethedialogueforthe picture,"InOldArizona,"isatwork onthisstory.Whenthescriptissatisfactorytoeveryone,theremainder ofthecastwillbechosen,andtheac- tualfilmingwillbegin.

PerhapsI'llbeaBard!

Regardingthetypeofstory:Iwant toplayinapicturewhichwillhave dignity,yetbefullofthecharmand humourofIrishlife.Therewillbe nojazzand"red-hot"stuffinit,you maybesure.Asfortheso-called"love interest,"ifitispresentandthereis anywooingtobedone,itwillhaveto bedonewithmyvoice.That'sfinal.

Whiletheeffectsofthelifeofevery devotedReligiousmaybefar-reaching andlasting,theremaybelittle,as Newmanonceremarked,whichmarks hisexternalcareerasnotable.This wasparticularlytrueofFatherReville. Yetnoonecouldmeethimwithoutreceivingtheimpressionthatherewas amanofsingularcharm.Charmfairlyradiatedfromhim.Onesawitin hissmileinthelightthatcametohis kindlyeyes,intheculturedtonesof hisvoice,inhiswholebearing,whichinaphraseoftenmisused,buthereliterallyapplicable-was-thatofagentlemanoftheoldschool.Buttherewas nothingabouthimwhicheventhe mostrigidasceticmightdenounceas "worldly."AsamereladJohnReville hadrenouncedallthattheworld mightgivehimfortheloveofOur lordJesusChrist.HelovedAeschy- lusandSophoclesandHoraceDante, andalltheclassicsthathadbeenhis companionsfromboyhood,buthe lovedOurLordaboveall.Theconsecrationwhichthislovegavehislife shonethroughthecharmofhismannerandhiswords,sothatheisbest describedbysayingthathewasa Christiangentlemanoftheoldschool, arareclassicalscholar,adevotedReligious,andatruepriest.

Forsixteenyearsbeforecomingto NewYork,FatherRevillehadbeen professoroftheclassicsintheold JesuitCollegeofSt.StanislausatMacon,Ga.Herehetjainedageneration'ofyoungJesuits,teachingthem thatloveofthegiantsinliterature andphilosophywhichwassoout-

Plainsongistheofficialmusicofthe CatholicChurch,asLatinisherofficial language.Noothermelodiestranslateintomusicsoperfectlythetrue meaningandfeelingoftheprayersof theCatholicliturgy.FormanycenturiesithasbeentheChurch'scustom toprayinLatin.Herprayerswere declaimed,atfirst,notinanordinary speakingvoice,butonamusicaltone, sothatthewordsmightbeheardata greaterdistanceandshouldbeclothed withanaddedbeautyandsolemnity. Graduallythismusicaldeclamationbecamemelodious,movingupanddown inaccordancewiththenaturalinflectionsofthespeakingvoice,butalways onmusicaltones.Thus,littlebylittle,melodieswereevolvedwhichtook theexactformofthewordsand phrasesoftheprayers.Thismusic, usedbytheearlyChristians,wasderivedinpartfromthatwhichhad beenusedbythe.Jewsfromtimeimmemorial,andpartlyfromthemusical systemoftheGreeksandRomans;but. astheChristianliturgygrewricherand moreelaborate,newmelodiesofsurpassingbeautygrewupoutoftheearly traditionalphrases,andweresungby theChristiansofthosedays.Saint GregorytheGreat,theBenedictine Popeandlearnedmusician,ultimately collectedallthebeautifulmelodies whichhadbeeninusesincethedays oftheApostles,arrangingthemin order,andwrotenewmelodieswhere thesewererequired.Thesamemelodieswhichhavecomedowntous tinderthenameofGregorianChantor Plainsongareamongthemostprecious heritagesinthetreasure-houseoftilt Church.

Havingcollectedthesemelodies, SaintGregoryfoundedschoolsofSacredMusic,sothatallthepeoplemight learntosingthem,andinsingingthem learnhowtoloveandadoreGod.But thatwasnotall.Themissionaries whowentouttothebarbarianscarriedwiththemaintGregory'smelodies,andinstructedtheirconverts,not onlywiththewordsofdoctrine,but alsoinsong.Thusitcameaboutthat SaintAugustineconvertedthepeople ofEngland.Liftedonthewingsof Song-Prayer,thesepeoplesoonbecame gentleandholy.Later,whentheEm. perurCharlemagnefoundedschools throughouttheEmpire,heinsisted thattheChantshouldhaveanimportantplaceinthecurriculumofstudies andshouldbetaughtcorrectly.He thereforeaskedthatsomeofthePope's ownCantorsbesentfromRometo teachthechurchsingersofthevarious citiesofhisempiresothattheymight allsingthemelodiescorrectly.This requestwasgranted,andfromthat timeonwardtheGregorianmelodies soonspreadthroughouteverycountry ofEurope.

Fortwelvehundredyearsormore thesewerepracticallytheonlymelodiestowhichtheprayersofthe Churchweresung.Sometimesnew feastswerecreatedandnewmusiccon sequentlyhadtobefound.Butthe peopleofthosetimespreferredtoadapt theancientmelodiestothenewwords, sogreatwastheirvenerationforthe GregorianChants.Prayerandmusic werethusthefruitofacommonconception,andgrewtogethertoamaturityinthecenturieswhichfollowed. heightinthegoldenepochofChristianity,thatperiodwhichproduceda Gregory,Bernard,aBonaventure,a Dominic,aFrancis,andinspireda Dante,aFraAngelico,aDellaRobbia, aPalestrina.Thehighestkindof mysticismfoundexpressioninthese melodies,thefull"out-flowering"of theFaithmeditatedupon;andthese flowersofArtweretrulyChristianity's

ThencametheRenaissanceofthe sixteenthcentury.Thespiritofthe Renaissancewasessentiallyopposedto devotion,self-denial,andthepurely religioussentiment.Weseethisnot onlyinitspartialityforpagansubjectsanditsworldlytreatmentofsacredhistory,butalsointheprofusion ofornamentsandthesacrificeofeverythingtodisplaybywhichitswas characterised.WiththeRenaissance beganthegradualbutsteadysecularisationofart,theconsequentsecularisationofpublictasteinart,and,asa result,thefinalintrusionofpurely secularartintotheChurch.Andso, eveninmoderntimes,manypeople havethoughttheycouldimproveon theancientchant)bycomposingmelodiesoftheirowninventionwhereinare portrayedandglorified,forthemost part,thepurelynaturalemotionswhose animatingprincipleisemotionalselfindulgence,alettingdownofbarriers asitwere,ratherthanastrengthening ofthewill,whichistheChristian ideal.

ThisisthereasonwhyPopeafter PopeandCouncilafterCouncilofthe ChurchhaveinsistedontheimportanceofpreservingtheGregorianmelodies,untilatlast,intheyear1903, itwaslaiddownbyPopePiusX,that theGregorianChantisthesupreme typeandmodelforallChurchMusic. InhislettertoCardinalRespighi Vicar-GeneralofRome,PopePiusX. wrote:"Ourwishtoseethedignity andsanctityofallliturgicalfunctions restoredhaspersuadedustomake knownbyaspecialdecreeOurwishes concerning'themusicwhichisso largelyusedintheserviceofthe Church.Weareconfidentthatall willhelpusinthismuch-neededreform,notonlywiththesubmission thatbowstocommandswhicharehard andcontrarytoitsownwayofthinkingmerelyoutofobedience(although this,too,ispraiseworthy),butrather withthatreadinesswhichcomesfrom aclearconvictionthatthecommands areevidentlynecessaryandreason. able.

TheMotuProprio, Intheveryimportant"MotuProprio"onSacredMusicwhichfollows, PopePiusX.clearlypromulgatesthe lawfortheuniversalChurch,expressingthroughoutthedesirethatthetrue Christianspiritshaltflourishagainin everyrespect,andbepreservedby allthefaithfulbytheiractiveparticipationinthemostholyMysteriesand inthepublicandsolemnPrayerofthe Church.Bysodoingwillberenewed oncemorethecloserelationwhichexistedformerlybetweentheLiturgyof theChurchandthedailylifeofthe Christianpeopleinthoseearlierages ofChristianity.Thus,itisnotonly becasueofitsbeautythattheChurch attachessuchimportancetoPlainsong; itisbecauseithasaholypurposeto perform,namely,to"liftandformthe mindsofthefaithfultoallsanctity." Hencewelearntoprayinmusic,tointerpretproperlyinmusictheMindof theChurch,itssinglepurposebeingto givelifeandpowertothethoughts andultimatelytomakeusbetterunderstandthemclearlyandcarrythem outinourownlives.The"MotuProprio,"havingdiscussedindetailedexplanationthismandate,concludeswith thesewords:"Finally,Wedesireall choirmasters,singersandclerics,all superiorsofseminaries,ecclesiasticalinstitutionsandreligiouscommunities,all parishpriestsandrectorsofchurches, allcanonsofcollegiateandcathedral churches,and,mostespecially,theOrdinariesofalldioceses,tosupport

zealously.thesewisereforms,which havebeenlongdesiredandunanimouslyhopedforbyall,inorderthat noinjurybetonetotheauthorityof theChurchwhichhasalreadyoften proposedthemandnowinsistsonthem oncemore."

ThisletterwasgivenattheApostolicPalaceoftheVatican,onthefeast oftheVirginMartyrSaintCecily,on November22,1903,inthefirstyearof thepontificateofthesaintlyandillus. triousPopePiusX.Thus,aquarter ofacenturyago,theHolySeelaid downcertainmemorablerulesregardingSacredMusic.Totheseinstructions,saysthePapaldocument,"asto ajuridicalcodeofsacredmusic,We will,withthefullnessofourApostolic authority,thattheforceoflawbegiven;andWedobyOurpresenthandwritingimposeitsscrupulousobservanceonall."Indeed,thestrange,the staggeringthingforaCatholicisthis: thatweevershouldhavewanderedso farfromtheobviousstandardofrespectduetotheHouseofGodasto haverequiredcorrectionuponsuch elementarymatters.Yet,aswego pastthequarterofacentury'smark, whowilldaretosaythatthesemild andjustinstructionshasbeen"scrupulouslyobeyedbyall?"

PoorExcuses, Allthismeansarealadvance.Yet, withthishopefuladvance,whatisit which,duringallthistimeknee1903, haspreventedthefulltriumphofthe reformsdemandedbyPopePiusX? Manyexcuseshavebeenoffered.Many havesaid,"TheMotuPropriodoesnot bindinobligation.Ithasnopenaltiesforthosewhodisobey."Tothe mind,especially,ofalayman,surely thisseemsastrangereasonfordisobedience.Arewe,toobeytheHolySeesolelythroughfearofpunishment?

Asecond-argumentfordisobedience adducedisCustom."Wehavealways sungasatpresent;thesetuneshave beensungbyourfathersbeforeus,and welikethem;besides,wehavealways playedtheorganduringAdventand Lent,wehavealwayshadsolosso beautifulthatwesimplycouldnot pray,we.havealwaysomittedthe ProperoftheMass-allthesethings andmoreareacustomoflongstanding withus,andwedonotunderstand allthesenew-fanglednotions."And soon.Thisbringsustoaquestion whichisstillmoreobscuretothemind.

Athirdargumentfordisobedience isthat"thepeoplelikeit,"meaning, ofcourse,thetypeofMusicwhichis forbiddenbytheHolySee.On? doubtsthetruthofthisassertion.Besides,thosewhomakeithavenottruly

Finallycomestheargumentbased onthe"impossibility"offulfillingthe Papalrulings.Romedoesnotdemand theimpossible.Again,"Wherethere's awell,there'saway."Nooneisso helplessorsoignorantastobein- capableofrefrainingfromsinginga sentimentalsoloinchurch.Nopriest issooverburdenedwithworkthathe couldnotpreventsuchsongsfrom beinglung.Noorganistissoviolent-lyimpelledtoplaytheorganduring theforbiddenseasonsandoccasions thatheisunabletomasterthetempta-tion.Thisminimumofobedienceis notbeyondeventhemostmediocre talent.
