MUSIC PROGRAM BY WOMAN COMPOSERS. Several of the most popular of woman composers, all members of the League of American Pen Women, who are in ‘Washington for the annual convention of that organization, appeared in a pro- at the Arts Club of Washington ast night. The program was worked out very informally, and it proved interesting to the audience of club members. Dorothy De Muth Watson of the club’s music committee presided and introduced the various composers and their assisting Prominent com] ‘Women, participating last night, includ- ed Phyllis Fergus, Mrs, Thatcher Hoyt of Chicago, who gave some of her poems set to music that are speclal favorites in ‘Washington, particularly the brief but very clever “Triflin’”; Mrs. Marianne Genet of Pittsburgh, who accompanied Emily Harrold, recently Mrs. Guy With- ers of this city, in interpretation of four of Mrs. Genet's songs, two from the “Love Cycle,” with words by Nellie Eber- hard, and two with words by Grace ‘Thompson Seton; Pearl Adams of New York, whose songs were sung by Kath- leen Culbertson and Harlan Randall. ‘The program was interestingly varied with poetic numbers and “Sheik Remin- iscences” given by Angela Morgan, Laurie Merrill, both poets from New York, and Mrs. Seton, woman geogra- pher, also from New York, respectively. Mrs. Seton opened the program with her gracefully joined anecdotes of inci- dents of her recent visit to the Sahara and Lybian Deserts. Miss Morgan is distinguished as the writer of the famous poem “Work,” which she read by request, as well as several other of her selections, all show- ing good workmanship in poetic con- struction and originality of idea. Miss Merrill, garbed in a Colonial cos- tume, gave some lyric poetry of her own, with incidental accompaniments played at the piano by Kurt Hetzel of this city. The most unusual of her poems, “Water Lily,” was written in a Japanese meter. ‘Tomorrow night other members of the woman composers’ group will give the rs who are Pen program of prize-winning compositions in the home of Mrs. Dimock, on Scott Circle. HF MR. MEAD'S ORGAN RECITAL. A program of organ music was played last night at the National Baptist Me- morial_Church by Edward G. Mead, P. A. G. O, organist at Miami Univer- sity, Oxford, Ohio, and head of the organ and theory departments there. This was the first recital given on the | new three-manual organ of this church. Mr. Mead opened the program with | Mendelssohn rather than the usual Bach, playing the allegro movemen from the “First Sonata in F Minor. Franck was represented by his “Canta " and Vierne by his “Scherzo in " from the “Second Symphony' “Fantasia_and Pugue in G Minor,” of Bach, a lack of clarity in the pedal part of the fugue was noticeable, which could have been remedied by the | use of more eight-foot pedal stops. The “Meditation,” by Truette, seemed trivial, but gave opportunity to demonstrate the chimes and the vox humana stop. Contrasts in tone color were interest- THE “Chorale Prelude on the Tune ‘Saint Peter’,” by Darke; the “Minuetto Antico e Musetta,” by Yon, and the almost in- evitable “Toccata from the Fifth Sym- phony,” by Widor, completed the pro- m gram. The assisting artist, Edyth Marmion Brosius, harpist, contributed two groups, the first including Bach's “Bourree in B Minor,” Perilhou’s “Chanson de Guil- lot Marfin” and Grandjany’s arrange- ment of “Le Bon Petit Rol d'Yvetot.” The second group consisted of the “Rondes des Sounges,” from “Suite de Dardanus,” by Rameau: the “Arabesque . 1,” by Debussy, which proved effec- tive on the harp, and an interest umber by Hasselmans, “La Gitana.” | The “Song of the Volga Boatmen” was | offered as an encore. For a finale a number not on the program was played by Mrs. Brosius and | Mr. Mead. It was an arrangement for harp and organ of Hlndel; “‘}IArgoJ’ EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D.
