Frederic Shlpman o: San Francisco, editor of "Musical West" and impres sarlo for a number ot high-class I.y ceum and concert attractions, was a Medford visitor over the weekend. Mr. Bhipman makes a visit to the valley about twlco each year and says that he notices a marked Improve ment in conditions here with each visit. ' "Medford has certaiuly outdone her self In the building line since my last visit hero six months ago. Particu larly did I notice tho corner at Main street and the highway, next to the old Page theater ruins. That cer tainly makes a wonderful difference in tho looks of the business district. I was also greatly interested in the remodelling of the building directly across the street, tho Sparta building, isn't it? There I found my old friend. George Andrews, busily engaged In superintending a forco of workmen who aro finishing what Is going to be a big asset for Medford; I refer to tho new studios which will house a real school of music. Mr. Andrews showed me all over the building and I was greatly impressed with the gen eral scheme, there being a number of modern, up-to dato private studios and a fino reeital ball that will also bo used for dancing classes. "Kven during the building operations thero were many pupils coming and going, for Mrs. Gore, Carleton Janes, Carl Loveland and the Hnzelriggs were all doing business 'at tho old stand.' I don t know whether Med ford really appreciates these people as she should, for the work they are doing is one of the things, yes, one of the main things, that makes this com munity the wonderful place that it Is. Business enterprises, money, etc., are necessary, of course, hut a community without any artistic life does not at tract the better class.
