W lllt utdllS anu dlltNllOuS VI Ihtli,
those who are preparing for the enter |
tainment of the millions of visitors ex- |
pected in this city next summer have |
given it foremost place in their pro-
gramme. They mean that the Pan |
American shall appeal to all the senses |
of man, including that of love of har-
mOny in sound.
Everywhere will be works of art,
buildings ornate in form and brilliant
in color. Everywhere will be objects
appealing to the eye and inspiring sem
sations which come from the satlsfac-
tion of ones yearnng for the ideal in
form and color. And to complete the
enjoyment of the visitor, the one thing
lacking will be added, music. Like the
color scheme of the exposition, that of
the music will run from grave to gay,
| from the light and fantastic to the
serious and profound. 1t will include
! the latest in concert hall airs. as we'll
as the symphony and the oratorio.
| There will be something to please
every taste and delight every ear which
| is not wholly deaf to harmonious
| sounds.
Music Gardens.

and planting and preparing for en-

the precincts of the Pan-AmCrican.

nicely has art come to the aid of ma
turc that it will seem that magic itself
| must have created these cmbellish-
ments of garden character as a spe-
cial setting for the buildings of the OK
position. Nowhere will these effects
he more elaborate and fascinating than
at this point. The Music Gardens will
slope gently down to the charming
Mirror Lake, and are just beyond the
Fore-court and the Triumphal Bridge,
where some of the most stately and
splendid sculptural adornments of the
exposition will be placed.
| Across Mirror Lake from these gar
dens is the site of the Temple of Music,
whose walls are now rising rapidly to
the roof. This building itself is to be
one of the most ornate upon the
grounds, and in it's interior decora-
| tions. as well as exterior architecture,
will appeal to the eye as strongly as
the harmones to be produced within it
will appeal to the ear. In the Music
| Gardens the less formal concerts Will
be given where the thrOngs of visitors,
tired with sightseeing in the build
ngs where the wonders of Pan -Ameri-
can are displayed, may sit among the
foliage and flowers and listen to the
strains of Sousas band or some other
world famed organization. In the
; Temple of Music. on the other hand,
programmes of dignity and of more
classic character will be rendered, and
vocal as we'll as instrumental music
, | will be heard.

The building itself which has been
: designed by Esenwein & Johnson, OF
= Buffalo, will convey in it's architec-
| ture both within and without definite
D ideas as to the purpose for which it is
, intended. over each of its eight large
4 arches will be a cartOuch bearing al
l inscription indicating one of the granC
divisions of music-oratorio granC
~ Opera, symphonic music, lyric music
