Recently Mrs. Watson was hon- or guest of Gena Branscombe, Mary ‘Turner Salter, Ethel Glenn Hier and Harriet Ware, woman composers in New York, where informal prelimi- nary discussions were held. Particu- larly striking was the spirit of good- fellowship among these women, gath- ered on a Saturday afternoon at a tea given by Harriet Ware, after a lunch- eon at which Miss -Branscombe was hostess. Washington plans were con- sidered extensively. A large group talked the over and listened between times to probably the most unusual musical program ever given—from the point of view of establishing a historic precedent for women in music. matter Lst Congregational Churck. 7-morrow ival. Composers who took part were: Gena Branscombe, who, assisted by a fine violinist, played the first movement of her* new sonata, which will have its formal debut in Washington; Har- riet Ware, who played her arrange- ment of Joyce Kilmer's poem, “Stars,” for Walter Mills, a fine baritone; Ul- ric Cole, a young composer studying under a Julallard scholarship, who played two piano works, “Clouds” and “Etude”; Ethel Glenn Hier, modern- ist, who gave a remarkable tone poem, “Forebeding,” and a novel, “Scherzo.” Other composers present were Mrs. Salter, Karolyn Wells Bassett, Mabel Wood Hill, Rosalie Housman, Flor- ence Parr-Gere and Pear] Curran.

This picturesque or-| ganization will be presented in a gala | premiere concert at the Metropolitan | mazurkas, krakowiaks, polonaises and oberki, predominating. More serious music is also played, including composi- tions by Chopin and Paderewski, both celebrated Poles. The orchestra was formed 40 yvears ago by Karol Namys- lowski, father of the present conduc- tor, on his country estate near the Opera House, New York, this after- noon before a distinguished audience, including notables of the National, State and municipal governments, so- | ciety, diplomats and famous musi- | cians and artists, | Under the leadership of Stanlislaw | Namyslowski, known in central E pean capitals as “the Johann Strauss of Pol d,” the orchestra is rec g—; nized as a national Institution of the | new Polish republic with high artistic standard. The music the orchestra plays is of the highest order, vet is popular in character, with tuneful and rollicking folk dances, such as village of Chemenciski. Recruited originally from rustic musicians, the orchestra has never departed in this respect from its early tradition, so to this day its expert personnel is com- posed of players who started life in | remote country districts as shepherds, farm hands, dairymen, herdsmen, etc. The musicians know no other attire than their picturesque homespun peasant costumes in which they will ap- pear before their American audiences. eats are on.sale at Mrs. Wilson- Greene's concert bureau, Thirteenth and G streets Music in Terms Of COIOT HERE has been much talk of ex- | periments siate musical | tones and various colors, but few have i seemed so practical as an idea that seems to have been absolutely origi- nal with Mrs. I H. A. Beach, famous to ass woman composer, who will play a pro-l gram of hey own compositions here next week, when she was but a tiny child. As little Amy Marcy Chene she used to beg her mother to “play the white music.” Her fond parent naturally assumed the child, who was only 4 years old, meant music with a white cover to it, but such was not the case. "Small Amy .meant music written in the key of C. By patient and somewhat lengthy experiment Mrs. Cheney found that her daughter had a different color in mind for | every key. Black music was that written in | either the key of F sharp, miror or | G sharp minor. Yellow music was in the key of E major. Red music, in the key of G major. Green music, in the key of A major. Blue, fn the key of A flat major. Violet, in the key of D flat major, and pink, in the key of E flat major. It seems small wonder that so. pre- coclous and musically keen a child should be a leading composer and pi- anist today. Mrs. Beach will play at Rauscher’s Saturday afternoon, March 7, for the benefit of the MacDowell Colony. Will Sing Amneris Here JEANNE EANNE GORDON, Ameri con- tralto of the Metropolitan Opera. Company, is pictured here in the Jeweled costume in which she will appear in her role of Amneris in the ‘Washington Opera Company perform- ance of “Aida” in the new Wash- ington Auditorium March 3.

It is William Wade Hinshaw’s production of “The Im- presario,” by Mozart, and its pro- duction will be identical with that which took New York by storm a few seasons ago. Not the least of the attractions of this charming comic opera is that it is sung in English, and thus none of its humor and charm is lost. The story of “The Impre- sario,” or “Hoodwinking the Man- ager,” is based upon a historical episode and the characters repre- sented are from real life. The prinei- pals are Henri Scott, basso; Hazel Huntington, prima donna soprano; Lottice Howell, coloratura soprano; Harold Hansen, tenor; Francis Tyler, baritone, and Willard Sektberg, mu- sical director. ; It is announced by the T.
