"MUSIC By Helen Fetter. ODAY is the Fourth of July—merely another day in the year to many but the day that stands above all others in the eyes of American citizens. This year, in particular, does this nations. patrioti day have special momertous portent, for it is the 150th anniversary | of the establishment of this country’s freedom as a separate and individual government. Also, this year. on this date falls the 100th anniversar, the dcath of Thomas Jefferson, auth that immortal document- Declaration of Independence--and third President of the United States of America ' In music, along with mauny o endeavors, the United States is be- coming more independent and establishing a line of definite progress. It is fitting that the two important events mentioned above should be cele- brated tomorrow, with music as a dominant icature in the national program of American Independence week. It is logical that the biggest celebration should be held in Philadelphia, home of the Liberty Beil and Independence Hall and scene at the present time of the hig Sesquicentennial International Exposition. The formal 8 y program will be held in the | stadium there. the exercises heginnis 2 o'clock, and the Chorus of the States, in which representative cho izati fi all over the | country will participate, totaling thousands of singers the direction | of that fine America v Hadley, will be an outstanding feature.

He was highly enthusiastic and conferred with Miss Esther Linkins, president of the District of Columbia Chapter of the Federation of Music Clubs.

With high hopes and enthusiasm Miss Linkins consulted music chairmen of leading men’s clubs, of women's clubs, THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0., JULY 4 1926—PART 2. BAND CONCERTS THE U. 8.

Goodwin presented Senora Michelene of Santo Domingo In a recital at her stodio Saturday fevening. The program included two groups of songs, one in Spanish and one in English. Senora Michelene has a voice of mezzo-soprano quality, and is sald to possess charming stage presence and marked interpretative abllity. Assisting on the program were Mrs. Ralph Robey, Fred Schae- fer, Barrett Fuchs, Mrs. McRoberts and Miss Goodwin, all well known in local music circles. Among guests attending the recital were the Min- ister from Santo Domingo and Senora Ariza. Fulton B. Karr directed a recital given at his studlo in Anacostia Wednesday evening, when the assist- Ing soloists were Kthel Payne, violin- ist; Mrs. George W. King and Harry P. Wilkins, singers.

Her family is New England American from the fourth generation, although she was born in | Beaufort, . Her approach to the | concert stage was via the church choir | and the college, and she was for sev- eral years on the musical faculties of Smith College and Mount Holyoke as head of their vocal departments. For the past five years she has devoted herself entirely to concert work Her European concerts this vear have brought new honors to American musie. Three London performances were so successful that repetitions were arranged, and she has been in- | vited to return next year as the se: son's solofst for the London Sym- phony in both its London and provin- | cial appearances. Her voice was in great demand among the buyers of “records” sland, where the pho- nograph is still a power in the musical ' th world. Germany hailed her as =2 “lleder singer,” France welcomed her “dramatic quality” and England as claimed the same traits of intellect and sympathy which have made her 80 popular in New gland. “The honors that are increasingl: given to American artists in Europe have a far-reaching significance,” said Miss Dale on her arrival in New York he day of the American musician seems to have dawned, and today Europe no longer regards us as freaks and strangers, but gives us impartial consideration for our art alone. Thore is a new tendency in Europe to treat American musicians as insiders." This singer’s leadership in the study of musical tendencies was recognized in Germany by the influential Youth movement, which sought her advice and co-operation in fts plans for an international peace crusade through studies in European foll attracted attention in England and France, and her position as hea of the American Music Forum w recognized in Russia by appointme to the international committee of th Tschaikowsky Museum Miss Dale now hastens twestward for a series of Summer concerts fi INlinois, Nebraska and on the Pacific Coast, where she will again be the soloist at the Hollywood Bowl in a orchestral concert directed by Willen von Hoogstraten.

There was, of course, fore- most in the necessities for sending a group to Philadelphia the question of raising a fund o pay expenses. Funds are raised by business concerns for delegates to attend conventions on many other subjects of national or community mmportance and to send represcntatives all over the country.

Miss Howison sang this composer’s “Old Folks at Home.” A particularly intriguing stringed instrument arrangement of prelude and accompaniment of this song was given by the quagtet. It is tomorrow evening, however, at both the Capitol steps and in the charming Slyvan Theater on the Monument grounds that most imposing and timely celebration of this momentous day will be held in Washington. A massed band concert of patriotic music, to be played by the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Band, will be the opening feature of the»ceremonies at the east front of the Capitol tomorrow evening, beginning at 7:45 o'clock. in honer of the 150th anniversary of American_independence, The massed bands will be conducted by Capt. | William J.

Their progra which is to be broadcast by WCAP. will include: March, “Stars and Stripes” (Sousar: overture, “Jubilee” (Weber); march, emper Fidelis” (Sousa) merican Fant (Victor Herbert), “Amer- ican Patrol” (Meacham), march, “National Emblem” (Bagley). The Marine Band will play the music for the pageant of “The Story of America,” which will conclude the celebration at the Capitol Building and will feature American music as accompaniment to the histroic and symbolic scenes. Three dance features have been arranged and will be presented by pupils oi the Caroline McKinley Studio on the Capitol steps under the direction of Judy Lyeth.

Cap * o+ Kk % I the compositions played or sung and in the selection of performers ~ for ahe concert and operatic stages, the American composer and artist is getting increased opportunity and much publicity. Some of these con- tributors are also giving through these broadening channels really valuable efforts toward American progress—valuable to the point of being historical in importance. All these opportunities, such as Marion Talley’s and Mary Lewis’ sensatio debuts. Lawrence Tibbett's marked success in two big operatic roles in the last two seasons, Deems Taylor's opportunity to get an Amcrican opera produced next Fall, George Gershwin’s opportunities to try and work out orchestral works that have American background and basis. John Alden Carpenter’'s “Skyscraper Ballet”—all these and many more show that American music is becoming independent and fred and American singers and musicians are getting at least equal opportunities with the foreign talent in this country There is no reason why America should not continue to employ the finest talent that Europe can provide, but at least Americans are being granted equal chances and when they are worthy receiving much freer and less grudging praise ‘without having to resort to foreign-sounding noms de musica than was true before the past few seasons. . The National Federation of Music Clubs is doing a great deal through Yaried channels (o forward just this healthy state of being. Here in Washington the latest development, under the auspices of this federation’s District of Columbia branch, is the announcement of a song contest—the object being to sclect a song for the District of Columbia. Practically all the States have their own songs, which are used on national and local occasions. At present the first move for such a song for the Capital City involves the preliminary contest for a suitable patriotic and distinctly individual poem to be set to mu As soon as this is chosen then the second contest will be for the composers to secure an equally dignified and individual sctting. Miss Beatrice Goodwin is in charge of the contest and all contributions are to be sent to her before Scptember 15. This would seem a highly laudable endeavor and one deserving of great support, Already the Commissioncrs of the District are stanchly behind the idea and it is said to have arcused much comment and response in local circles generally. an animated marine painting of cloud- land, tumbling waves, palms and with sanded shoreline to add a.touch of realism.
