Personality.
By Terry C. Elmendorf.


Personality counts a lot in the
Interpretation of any subject,
whether it be in the realm of art,
music, drama or any other pro-
duct of mans creative genius.
Those who would successfully in
terpret must infuse their own re-
spective personalities into their
interpretations; in that way
alone can they command and hold
the attention of those to whom
they would present their subject.
A musician may give tlawless
exhibition of technical skill, and
yet fail utterly in arousing and
holding the interest of his audi
ence because his rendition lack 8
that personal element so vital to
successful Interpretation. At the
moment of rendition, the very
Soul of a composition depends on
the personality of the performer.
If an artist, when he puts the
creation of his fancy, or the de-
llneation of fact on canvas, in
fuses his Personality into his
work. then we who appreciate
the finer points of his artistic
achievement, can see the much
than has been suggested, rather
than actually portrayed, by
thoughtful study of his creation.
Be it in in the realm of art,
music, drama-be it in the ex-
ploitation of any truth, theory or
what not, which concerns life In
the prerent, past or future tense,
whether the Interpretation have
the carnal or spiritual touch-lt
is personality which renders each
message luminous with meaning
to the seeker after knowledge
personality ever suggests more
than it literally expounds and
who will deny that suggestion is
a magnetic spell-binder? If you
would be a leader rather than a
trailer, develop a personality.

A Little Strange.

The first bloodshed of the Rev.
olution was at the battle of lex
ington on April 10, 1775; the first
bloodshed of the Civil War was at
Baltimore on April 10, 1851 when
Massachusetts, regiment was
fired upon; the first bloodshed of
the Spanish-America War was
in Havana harbor on April 10,
1918 when the battleship Maine
was blown up; the first blood
shed of the trouble with Mexico
was at Vera Cruz on April 10,
1914, when four American mar
ines and POO Mexicsns were kill
ed. The editor of The Enter
prise is no fatalist, but it does
seem a little strange that all these
events should happen on the
same day of the same month";
