location for the school is yet unde-
cided.
Wagner will have charge of the
classes alternately with Greenbaum,
each instructor to criticise during the
entire pose of the model.
Greenbaum's success in portrait work
during his last visit to San Francisco
was very great and it is possible that,
after his return from a two weeks
sketching trip at Catalina, he will come
to San Francisco to execute several
portrait commissions that he was un
able to complete during his earlier
visit.

Pleads Cause OF
Native Composers
Arthur Farwe Praises Bohemia for Its Stand
In Aid of Home Music
By WALTER ANTHONY

:" RTHUR FARWELL, one of the
sss, s"'se sas @s.s'sss @ "i the
American music society, arrived
in San Francisco last Thursday night,
en- route to Bohemian grove, where he
will participate in the wonderful mu-
sic given there, and will direct pres
entation of his symphonic work,
Dawn
1T is not generally known, said he,
but it is a fact that the beginning OF
this national movement for national
recognition of native composers had its
germ inception in the music that the
Bohemian club presents every year.
Il was here in 1904, when William
J. McCoy's 'Hamadryads' was given.
had never been so moved by music,
save at Baireuth. The wonderful set
ting and the beauty of the music itself
made a profound impression.
When l returned home / began to
talk about it. Isn't there any wEy for
us to hear this too? was asked, and
that made us all think. A little colony
of devoted musicians here; group of
four or five there and scattered few in
all the cities of the United States
needed encouragement and mutual as
Sistance. So grew the idea of an or
ganization which would, in a way. bind
the producers of good music in this
country together; encourage them in
their individual work, which for rea-
sons too numerous to mention here does
not get to the light of publication as
yeti mean their larger and more pre-
tentious works
The Wa Wan association was in ex-
istence then, but we came to consider
the saddling of a publication house on
to strictly artistic organization would
be detriment, SO the publication side
of the Wa Wan society was removed
and made a separate institution to
oring forth native compositions which
other publishers would not undertake,
and the enthusiastic members of the
older organizations joined the new to
struggle for the cause of national
art.
Through my interest in the music
OF the American Indian and my pub
hshed works on the subject the opin-
ion has spread that ! believe in the
possibility of founding a national
school of music on the folk melodies
of the Indian. That is so manifest an
absurdity that I did not at first think
it worth denial. The opinion has
grown and l want to deny ever having

qu1res the attendance of so musicians
TO be heard Otherwise. it is nothing
but paper and little linked symbols that
to most of the world are cryptic.
SO am sent out here partIR by my
society and partly by the musical pa-
per with which I am associated in New
York to write about music in the far
west and to show to the world that
organization-such as the Bohemian
club-has been doing in an isolated and
solitary way what it is intended the
American musical society shall 90
throughout the nation.
"All our budding art needs is room
in which to thrive; little fertiliza-
tion and little admiration. For such
composers as you have here a place
for them to stand in must be pro-
vided. l.,F
1T may interest you TO know that
when the Hamadryads' music was
played at Carnegie hall the instru-
ment which we secured for the man
with the traps to blow to initiate the
owl hooting was not good David
Bispham didn't like the tone of it:
neither did Walter Damrosch or the
other directors of the concert, so
Bispham, hiding in the orchestra. pro-
vided the owl boots without the aid
of an instrument. He made a great
owl, and hooted in splendid tune"
In connection with the arrival of
Arthur FarwelI and the impetus that
the presence of the president is bound
TO have on the local organization in
this city, Miss Rita Slater, secretary
of the San Francisco center, has pre-
pared an open letter to the public,
which is herewith given in full:
Arthur Farwell. founder of the
American music society, arrived Thurs
day evening on the Overland and will
be the guest of w. j. Mccoy during
his stay here at the Bohemian club
jinks.
Mr.. Farwell spent several years in
Germany rounding OF musical educa-
ton and was struck while there with
the intense patriotism all Germans
exhibited toward native German music
and became Immediately imbued with
the idea of nationalizing American
music, and from the germ thus created
the American music society was born.
Centers of the main society have
been established in all of the large
cities of the United States, our local
one being organized about six weeks
ago.
The predominating musical elements
of San Francisco and the cities about
the bay are enthusiastically in SYM

his bride left on the same transport
for the Philippines. They will be
away for an indefinite stay and will
be missed by their friends at the Pre-
sidfo. Mrs. Williams is the daughter
of Mrs. Eta B. Walker of Los Angeles.
At the Fairmont every afternoon
there is an aggregation of lovely
gowns in all their summer variety and
among the costumes noticed recently
was one of white linen. which. by the
way. seems to have such a vogue this
season. with the t quite untrimmed,
the waist faste half to the left
and half to the right, with pearl but
tons The neck line was round and
finished with collar of fine embroid-
cry and baby Irish lace. with a small
black satin bow in front, The pretty
costume was completed with black
hat of cloche shape. trimmed with a
single broad quill. A white brussels
lace veil and black and white striped
parasoI added style and chic to a COS
tune which was perfect in taste and
simplicity
Miss Brooke Rose. the faneee of
Frederick P. Hastings, the well known
singer, is one of the brides elect who
has the interest of local society at
present. She is the guest OF her rela-
tives, Mr.. and Mrs. Kirkham Wright in
Scott street, and is the incentive for
many of the informal affairs of the
summer since after her wedding her
residence will be in New York and
her friends here will not have an op-
portunity of entertaining for her in the
later season. She is a girl with much
personal charm, of the brunette type,
piquant and attractive. Miss Rose has
been away a great part of her time and
in fact has just returned after a long
absence in the orient. where her time
was passed in study and travel. She
is a niece of Mrs. Selden Wright and
a granddaughter of the late Hon. A.
III. Ross of political renown.

many of the members have contributed
paintings and gifts. Some new work
by the members is also seen, the most
noteworthy painting being presenta-
tion of San Francisco wharves in the
heat of noontide by Bertha Stringer
Lee. The picture is painted with
much charm and the artist has sue
ceeded in putting into it that elusive
quality known as atmosphere, The
blues of the water and sky are good
and the prevailing tone one of subdued
quietness and harmony. A second
painting by Mrs. Lee is vividly remi-
niscent of Sparks, the same tendency
to striking high light being noticed
and the scene depicted-as~ curving
sweep of water inshore with cluster
of cottages somewhat separated at the
waters edge, and sky of quiet tonal-
ity overhead-being composed some
what after this painters well known
style. The painting. however, is pleas
ing, and as in the preceding one the
atmosphere and feeling for light and
pulsing air is evident.
Several of the paintings displayed on
the walls of the City of Paris in its
new home are the work of Carlo Baron,
the Italian artist, whose representa-
tions of Dutch scenes were well liked
when exhibited last season at the Sc
quota club. A large canvas which has
just been completed and purchased by
the City of Paris is unique both in
coloring and design. Intended to be
hung over mantelpiece, when this is
accomplished, the brilliancy of the hues
may be somewhat softened and the
meaning of the work become more ap-
parent. The tenderness, delicacy and
charm which stamp other work of this
artist as full of poetic Interpretation
seem to be wholly lacking in this latest
painting, and one would like to see
more work along the lines of his ad-
mirable Dutch and German scenes.
Robert Wagner, who has made his
studio home in Santa Barbara for the
last few years. intends returning to
Los Angeles and opening studio there.
According to the Los Angeles Express.
Wagner, IN conjunction with Joseph
Greenbaum expects to establish an art
school there to open in September and

Especial Correspondence of The Call
