Miss Melton held her audience
with a sympathetically presented
summary of the life of MacDowell
speaking of him as "MacDowell,
Edward MacDowell. our own com
poser," and continued by Applying
the term "universal" to his life
insofar as his influence is concern
ed. He was an artist, poet, and
musician, and his music shows the
effects of this combination' by
painting word pictures which he
painted with sound. His own def
inition of music, "music is a tonal
expression of life," is carried out
in all- his works. He was -versatile
in his writing having written
orchestra scores, vocal and piano
solos and sonatas in number.
He believed that American mu
sic should be characteristic of the
freedom of its people and there-,
fore choose the Indian freedom'
and symbolic brevity with its dra
matic expression as a fit medium
to express typical American mu
sic. The compositions played so
sympathetically by Miss Melton

Those who heard Monday
night's program can hardly escape
a greater appreciation of the fact
that Edward MacDowell gave the
world something n music that is
typically American.
This program, a benefit, will go

colony in New Hampshire, which
is being established by Mrs. Mac
Dowell as a place where anjr artist
who has accomplished in any field
may go and for three months at a
time and live undisturbed while
doing creative work. This colony
is the result of a cherished desire
on the part of MacDowell for some
such colony.

Alderman Vandevort had mov

to be an example of a "dog in the
