CLEMENS FEATURESRUSSIAN MUSIC

Rimsky Korsakoff's glittering or-chestration gave Conductor HarveClemens opportunities to show theexcellence of tonal ensemble pos-sessed by the Symphony Orchestraat last Sunday's concert. Thismusic makes the individual choirsperform solo parts and contraststheir varied timbres with ever sur-prising effects, and the playersmet the task with spirit, precisionand well modulated power. Thepublic never tires of the "Largo"from the New World Symphonyand it mari'e a pleasing offset tothe Russian brilliance of Rimskyand the Caucasian Sketches of Ip-politov-Ivanoff, who reminds onein a few passages of Finland's Si-belius.

The Editor received the letterprinted below following the publi-cation in last week's Topics of anarticle on the literary colony ofWinter Park, and wishes to an-nounce that a further article onthis subject will be presented inthe near future. Our writers areour crowning glory and we hope todo justice to all who honor WinterPark."Editor, Winter Park Topics,Winter Park, Fla.

"Dear Sir: Orlando claimsVictor Starbuck as a writer,but as Mr. Starbuck is nowresident in Winter Park, shouldyou not include him in anyarticle on your Literary Col-ony? His volume of poems waspublished1 by the Yale Univer-sity Press, a not too usualhonor.

"You also omit the names ofMiles Menander Dawson andGeorge Meason Whicher, bothwell-known writers and resi-dents of Winter Park. Anotheromission is the name of RuthGuthrie Harding', whose poemsand essays have long appearedin leading magazines. Her bi-ographical essay on AmbroseBierce is listed by bibliogra-phers among the most impor-tant items of Bierciana, andher poems have been reprintedin many anthologies and set tomusic by composers, includingmyself and Roland Farley andAlice Roper Fish.

"Rose Mills Powers, poet, isthe wife of a realtor 6f WinterPark (Hiram Powers), andRuth Guthrie Harding is Mrs,Richard Burton. Willard Wat-tles of the Rollins faculty is apoet of reputation. Thesewriters seem to me regrettableomissions fvom your article oflast week.

MISS LEONARD TAKES USINTO HER CONFIDENCE

(All Winter Park knows or shouldknow that the Symphony Orches-tra, whose concerts are one of ourg-reatest delights, is the creationand constant care of Miss Mary 1h.Leonard. Its musical achievementsare a source of pride; its financialprovender reminiscent of "ValleyForge." We are glad to give spaceto the following expression of herthoughts.—Ed.)

Not many days ago our Treas-urer said to me sternly, "The pay-roll for this next concert will justabout clean out our bank account."A sort of scared feeling came overme when I thought of the threemore concerts to come. But afternine years of this sort of scai'e Icalm myself as a rule by a conver-sation with myself which runssomewhat as follows:

My brave self says, "Haven'tyou always believed1 this orchestralwork was given you to do to estab-lish good music in our midst andhelp the musicians?" My searedself replied meekly, "Yes."" "Have-n't these nine years taught youthat when you think you are in acul de sac that a way has openedbefore you and you have been ableto carry on?" I answered moremeekly still, "Yes." "Well, thenwork on, but don't worry,"

As if in answer to this, the morn-ing's mail brings me a letter fromfar away Sicily from beautifulTaormina, out of the letter droppeda check for $50.00. Lovely peoplewho had lived last winter on thenorth shore of Lake Osceola arestill thinking of us and write: "Willyou use the enclosed check from usfor your work with your orches-tra? I hear you have started' atea room for that purpose which ismeeting with instant success andconsider that we are taking manyteas at it; I wish we might, and Iwish you the greatest success."

We can't all put $50.00 checks inour letters but we can help alongthis good work by a friendly spirit,

coming to the orchestra tea roomto hear the good music which threetimes a week can be heard at thetea hour. This tea hour music, bythe way, is also a help to those stu-dents who are struggling to finishtheir college course and find it adifficult matter during these leandays.

We are hoping our next concerton February 10th will bring asmuch pleasure to our audience asdid the one last Sunday. Thosewho listened noted the precisionand smoothness of the playing andthought the orchestra had neverdone better work. Were you there?

Yours in behalf of our Floridamusicians,

MARY L. LEONARD.
