PHILIP THORNTON
THOSE who heard Mr. Philip Thornton 's talks in his last series will remember that he then unfolded his theory about the similarities in the world's music. He showed with his innumerable examples how the result of the same emotion felt in the hearts of people in widely separated parts of the world, finds its almost identical expression in their music. Mr. Thornton is in this new series relating some strange stories of his experiences in search of his mateuals, and will illustrate his talks as before with songs and tunes played upon his weird musical instruments. His intention is to give as complete a survey of ancient and Eastern music, and its relation to the music we know in Europe, as time permits.
