Music Festival in June
 to Be Great Event.
Cemmittee in Charge Has Spared No Pains 10 Make 1t Notable Gathering of Musicians, and Many ef
 World Fame are Coming

Arrangements for the Music Festival to be held June 12, 13 and 14 under the joint auspices of the Southern Music Teachers Association, the Alabama Mu- sic Association and the Montgomery Musical Association, are now practi- calIy complete. This gathering will be the greatest assemblage of artists ever held in the State. Men and women Of national reputation will attend and par ticipate, while many of the foremost members of the two teachers associa- tion will also take part :
 he committee in charge has spared
 her time, trouble nor expense to sr1s; this a notable event. The pur- taes IS to furnish a series of annual ~. g of the highest class available. s ,er of cities throughout the
 ., B old these meetings, and 1t is the fa.,to of those in position to know t.a. elevate the artistic sense of
 nity more than any other event
 ,ear. With the new college as- sured, 1t is fitting that Montgomery should continue to make herself the art centre of the South.
 Five thousand handsome advance pro- grams are now in the press, setting forth the details of the convention and giving details of the undertaking along with photographs and notes of the par ticipants. These will be distributed to the public within the next few days. An A~amination of this program will give the reader some idea of the mag. nitude and elaborateness of the enter prise.
 It will be of especial interest to Montgomery to learn that one of the stars of the festival is to be Madame Shotwell-Piper, the brilliant dramatic soprano. Madame Piper is native of this State, being the granddaughter or former Governor Edward A. ONeal. She came into prominence in the musi- cal world about fifteen years ago and since that time has made notable success. She has appeared in most of ' the large cities of this country and everywhere has aroused the most gen
 inc enthusiasm and admiration.
 Madame Berdice Bye. the polished ianist, will also appear at the festival. Madame Bye has appeared in nearly every capital in Europe. She has ap- peared before Queen Alexandria and many members of the royal families of England and Europe. She is a worthy pupil of her distinguished master, An on Rubenstein.
 MT. Frank Ormsby has filled many important engagements in the East during the past season, and everywhere has received the highest press endorse ments and public praise.
 In addition to these, some twenty Southern artists have consented to par ticipate. Many of these have achieved distinction all over the country and will add strength to any program on which they appear. They are music ians, artists, every one of them. Their services are sought for and would be welcome in any city of the Union. Hhe effort is being made to make this festival the most notable musical gath. Hring in the South. Itfis not a money- enterprise, but, on the con. public-spirited effort to create
 sA ter an artistic centre here at the first systematic and wido.
