MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Edited by Clarissa Careless

I
| | think that Wichita should not con.
, graduate itself alone on the fact that &
has musicians. but also upon the cir
cumstance that within its limits it DOS.
sesseS those who can describe the beau
tiful depths and celestial heights OF the
! great tone art. In this Connection the
! friends of Miss Jessie Leweliing have
/ gained possession, probably by surrep-
\ utlonS means, OF a word-morceau
which they think, as 1 do, very beauti-
! full. 1t expresses a conflict OF emotions
! born of music, and a resultant harmony
/ OF soul growing theTefrom, or in other
/ words spiritual harmony arising from

pen of Miss Lewelling is entitled "A
Mood" and is as follows:
Il hear the low wall of an organ.
swelling. ever deepening into a cry of
agony-the last melting chords of de-
parting hope. and the deep BASS of tr-ag-
ic despair. The theme of a broken life
heaVeS into being, breaks from the
mother arms of melody and plunges
madly into a chaos of sound. Hank /,
a sob, a human heart is rent. A soul is
suffering the anguish OF rem0rSe. Now
a cry of tortured reckiesSneSS breaks
through a minor chord, followed by a
groan of consciousness. There is an
ing of the fitful wind. At last, Sweet
est music sreets us, soft voices call
Us. Tremendous hope is in the new
melody. Glad Faith follows on the
wings of love. There is "A fullneSs OF
JOY in the very air, and Christ the Sa-
Vior smiles down upon US through tears
Of pity, and the burden of our sorrow
is lifted from us"
I publish this morning the program
