LADIES' AUXILIARY
GIVES ENTERTAINMENT

| There was a large gathering Oh
the members OF the Ladies' auxlli-
ary and their friends yesterday al
ternoon In the studio Of Prof. W. b.
Field, where, after the regular busi'
ness program the professor gave an
Interesting lecture on the American
composers, Edward Alexander Mac
Dowell, illustrated by several OF bis
shorter compositions.
The meeting was opened by the
president, Miss Susie Banard, In her
usual pleasing manner. She vel
coined especially the new corners In
Grants Pass and explained that the
Ladies' auxiliary would from now on
add 10 the business program on civic
Improvement and other interesting
features.
After the regular business was
disposed Of, Miss Banard introduced
Prof. Field, who for an hour kept
the audience interested In the life
and works Of Mcdowell. He said
that while there were many fine
composers among Americans, Mac
Dowell undoubtedly lowered head
and shoulders above them all be-
cause OF his strong individuality,
could not be warped or dominated by
European teachers or masters, while
yet absorbing all that was good in
them.
Thus he has given us music that Is
distinctive, though II may be too soon
to determine whether II Is distinc-
lively American or distinctively in
dividualistic. Liszt once said that he
considered Mcdowell the equal of
Brahms, and II Is certain that his
music can be played side by side with
that Of the classic composers with
out suffering by comparison. Mac
Dowell occupies middle ground be-
tween the absolutists Of former
period, who believed that only gen.
eral human emotions can be ex-
pressed by music, and the extreme
romanticists Of the present day, who
attempt to give us tone pictures OF
nature and definite human emotions
under varying conditions. In his in
terpretatious Mcdowell succeeded
remarkably well. He responded to
the popular demand for breyity in all
things, concentrating his ideas into
the smallest possible space, in con-
trast to the earlier composers, who
gave us long sonatas and romances.
Prof. Field played the following
selections, illustrating the composers
style in a way which gave pleasure
to all his hearers. With each selec-
tion he gave an explanation Of the
theme and the manner Of its develop
ment: Woodland Sketches, The De-
serted Farm. From an Indian Lodge;
Uncle Remus; In Autumn; Ode to the
Sea; Starlight; song, Scotch poem H.
lustrating Heine's poem, Ear on
Scotland's Scraggy Shore"
AT the conclusion of Prof. Fields
lecture the president extended an in
vitation to all those present for the
next meeting Of the auxiliary at their
club room. The meeting wa. then
adjourned and a social time over the
teacups was enjoyed.
