This quartet won sin- cere and favorable comments from New York and Boston critics as well as the cream of American musicians, who were the guests of Mrs. Coolidge at those programs If the future choices ior icatured soloists or groups are as happy as this first one, the entire scrics deserves the hearty co-operation and attendance of all loyal Washingtonians. A good program has been chosen for today and by its acceptance by a representative audience will be judged the advisability of continuing the plan PR HE snbject the local churches has long been a matter of general dissatisiaction. This is true not only of Washington but of most citics and towns all over the United States. Week aiter week the same. worn-out warhorses of church music have heen played and sung and <till are heing played and sung all over the city. regardless of denomination and creed. Unfortunately wide is the practice of scrambling together a hali-baked. uninteresting program Friday or Saturday night at a hurried choir reheirsal. Equally uniortunate is the manner in which the churches seem to think they should get their music for nothing or next to nothing. The Rev. Dr. Phillips. rector of one of the largest churches in the city. said at the Rubinstein Club luncheon Tuesday. “Music #s the high- est and finest of all the arts and we should cultivate better music in the churches. i For two vears it was the custom of the cditor of this page to devote about two columns a Sunday to printing the “Music in the Churches” p grams. During this period the formation of programs under all conditions and with allowances for all emergencies was duly considered and we came to the conclusion that so much moth-caten material was taking up valuable space that the department has been discontinued on this page and there | have heen no complaints received, except irom a few choir directors, ince that discontinuance last Spring. Wednesday night an_organization comes irom Dayton. Ohio, that ims to carry on materially in this crusade for better church music. It is 2 group known as the Westminster Choir, composed of 60 individuals who sacrifice_consistently two or three evenings every week to rehearsals under their fine lcader. John Finley Williamson, preparing really worth- while church music programs and. incidentally, learning how to become intelligent choir leaders to leave the organization. one by one. when re- placed by new voices. and go to start similar music missionary work in other American communities. There is not a church musical organization in Washington that could not profit by hearing this choir. Choir di- rectors should urge their quariets and larger groups to go in a body 10 isten to Wednesday night's program. Outstanding leaders oi musical interests in \Washington. including many social leaders, are in the list of those interested, The excellent program which the group sings is given elsewhere on this page. The Federation of Churches also sponsors it The choir will be received to sing at the White House in the noon. and will also give special short programs in the new little torinm at the Library Congress, at_the invitation of Mr. and Mr. Fngel. and at the grave oi the Unknown Soldier. andience grceted the ir in_a periormance Wednesday night at the Brooklyn Academy.

The choir has created a furore of interest at every point so far on tne first Eastern tour. * ok kK ANOTHER novelty of considerable size that comes to Washington this busy week is the Stony Point Ensemble, with Maud Allan, American lancer, the featured soloist. and Mr. Wilired's famous “clavilux,” or “light- organ.” a unique scenic attachment. The most marvelous thing of the entire aroup. however. according to one who was fortunate enough | 1o attend about an hour of a rehearsal in New York 10 davs ago. is the work of the huge “Vocal Symphony Orchestra.” under the direction of Alexander Koshetz - This group, composed of singers ranging in tempera- ment from Russians who are now naturalized citizens to voung Amer- ieans formerly in the Harvard Glee Club, give wonderful organ-like tones as accompaniment for some of Miss Allan’s numbers. The singers are seated in the orchestra pit. and the entire effect is so poweriul that it is practically indescribable. These singers were all “hand-picked.” and re- hearsed twice every day all through the Summer months at Max Rabinof's commendable American Institute for Operatic Art on the Hudson. at Stony Point. wherce the group's name. They were chosen for voice quality and training and also for “stick-tositivencss.” Not a few promising but lazy singers were turned away after a few trials, because they did not have the last-mentioned valuable quality for success. * %k %k X ASHINGTON secms to be simply overflowing with commendable and ambitious plans musically. The District Chapter of the National Federation of Music Chibs is organizing a number of “concert parties” | to bhe given hy professional musicians of the city in local institutions | where the radio with its invisib'e music is the only source of musical en- tertainment for “shut-in<.” Miss Pearl Waugh, chairman of the commitiee announces that alrcady the heads of more than a dozen institutions have ' shown great pleasure at the possibility nf securing actual “Aesh and blood" entertamment for those ioc whom the insitutions care.
