;1o N important event in the eyes of local music students and teach- ers in the District of Columbia and vicinity is the annual contest to be held Tuesday in the Masonic Auditorium under the auspices of the National Federation of Music Clubs, Capital District. This will be an outstanding opportunity for the aspiring professional musicians of both Washington and Maryland. Mrs. Thomas J. Rowe is chairman of the local contest, and will be reached if addressed at 1612 S street north- west. Those who are successful in these contests will be heard in a local concert, and also be eligible to compete with candidates from other districts, and, if successful, proceed to the national convention, the bi- ennial, in Asheville, N. C,, next June, where the national winners will be heard. Prizes will be presented and a tour financed for these winners the following season. * ok %k Xk OUIS A. POTTER, composer-organist of the Calvary Baptist Church, aroused much enthusiasm with his first public performance of his “Fantasie for Organ and Piano” at the First Congregational Church Wednesday night. This composition has been dedicated to Harry Ed- ward Mucller, organist of the Congregational Church. Mr. Mueller play- ed the organ part and the composer was at the piano. The composition was the feature of the concert, in which the members of the George Washington University Male Glee Club participated, singing several numbers. * X % % ISTORICALLY, if from no other standpoint, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which will play here Tuesday for the first and only time this season, is the most interesting of all symphony organizations heard in this city. In 1881 the late Henry L. Higginson of Boston founded and brought together the first personnel of the orchestra, and virtually sup- ported it alone for some time. Soon it became self-supporting, because Boston came to regard the orchestra as an integral part of its whole life. Many great conductors have developed the orchestra, and many great composers have achieved fame through compositions first played by this organization. The success of Boston's symphony orchestra can, to a large degree, be laid to the fact that few of its original members have departed from it, with the result that a machine has been built upon a foundation of solidarity and personal interest. * ok k MME AMELITA GALLI-CURCI, coloratura soprano, who gave a con- cert here a short time ago, has sounded a warning to ambitious vocal students to “beware of the singing teacher” who promises wonder- ful results through special methods of voice production and other short cuts. “A singing teacher,” she says, “if he is wise, can guide a pupil, but he cannot manufacture a voice worth listening to. A singer must sing as a bird does, without thought of nasal resonance or placing the voice. Put a canary in the Metropolitan Opera House and it can be heard as clearly as the human voice, and that is because it sings naturally and is not ruined by bad teaching.” * ok ¥ % ROM the National Burcau for the Advancement of Music, New York city, comes the announcement that a movement is under way for the singing of outdoor carols on Easter morning, along the lines of the very successful caroling on Christmas eve. The bureau says the idea now be- ing fostered by choir and club leaders, Sunday school superintendents and community organizers is the recruiting and training of smaller bands to traverse a fixed route through the town or take their stand at dif- ferent locations, bringing to all the message of joy and awakening life. The sick and others who cannot go to church on Easter morning to hear the services arc given particular attention. A word sheet containing the verses of appropriate carols has been issued by the music bureau of the Community Service, as has also a b ulletin by Prof. Peter W. Dykema of the University of Wisconsin, giving the origin of and descriptive notes on the E ster songs. In addition, suggestions are en for the organiza- tion of young pcople’s caroling groups. The word sheet and the bulletin may be obtained free upon request from the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music, 105 West 40th street, New York.

Of the many members of the Wash- ingtonians' cast, which will produce the new ‘“popular” edition of “Faust” in English at the Central High School auditorfum April 3, 4 and 5, there is probably no one more adapted to the role chosen for him than J.
