Word With Mrs Houston Davis President of the Local l Biennial Board About the Forthcoming Big Convention
Fly DOLLY DALRYMPLE

M SIDE from the many great artists | A\ in every musical walk of life who
 will be here for the tenth bi-
 ennial convention there are so many other attractions for that occasion that it is
 almost impossible to enumerate them,
 but especial attention is being attracted
 to the work of the Community chorus" which is an innovation that Birmingham
 may well feel proud of
 | The term community music in it's I broadest term has been used of late to mean singing in large groups. "Commu- nity music should be about as big a thing musically as it is possible to con- cieve, not only the music that people make, but also the music they hear is not only that heard or made by large numbers but that made or heard by small groups.
 Birmingham's community chorus will be among the big attractions at the bi- ennial and it is interesting to know that among the visitors will be Mr.. Arthur Farwell, who was for years the super visor of music in the parks of New York city and who has devoted his time largely to community singing"
 In speaking with Mrs. Davis who is the capable and able president of the Music Study club as well as the presi- dent of the local biennial board, t.nd who is doing valiant work for the suc- cess of convention here, she said:
 Community singing is one of the great est assets to the country's musical wei fare and I pla1 tO have one of the pioneers with us during the biennial in the person of Mr. Arthur Farwell, who was the leader of New York's choral The Tree of Life and
 Christmas Eve; also the composer of 'Caliban and the new March MarchH which is being sung by Kitty Cheatham audiences wherever she appears and l only hope she'll ask her audience to sing with her here"
 community singing is beautifully ex- pressed by Mrs. David Allen Campbell. the editor of the Musical Monitor" said Mrs. Davis in the ringing words: "The great coming together to sing that is now going on all over the United States is prophetic. The song birds singing be- fore dawn. No less beautiful sis Walt Whtman's sentiment when he said: I see America singing to her destiny Community singing is interesting the whole country and Birmingham's oppor- tunity to hear such a chorus during the biennial which will sing at Capitol park, will be a great event. There will be 800 voices under Mir Robert Lawrence's di- rection and besides that thousands are expected to be present and sing"
 q would like to stress the educational side of the biennial,'' Mrs. Davis contin- ued, flor it is of more than ordinary inn portance. The south is progressing won derful1y along those lines eSpecially as for as opportunity is concerned for hear ing all kinds and classes of music. At lanta offers grand opera which is one class of music; Birmingham with the bien- nial offers another with noted lectures. conductors, singers, pianists. while Dr.

M s the eyes of the musical world in
 A\ America were turned toward the = golden west two years ago when the National Federation of Music clubs held it's great festival convention, So will the eyes of the musical world turn to the heart of the south during the week of April 15-21, 1917, when the great National Federation of Music clubs will meet in the Magic City of the South.
 During the colonial and revolutionary period the music of the woodman's ax, the whiz of the Indians arrow attuned to the song of the southland's birds, gave little time for cultural development, save only in the then small cities of New Or leans, Charleston, etc.
 As the south developed and the south ern home became the mecca of culture and hospitality, this old, new south began to feel with it's great possibilities, its mountains of iron and coal; it's valleys and plains yielding a harvest plenty; its wonderful climate, and it's rapidly in creasing population, the need of larger and broader view of the worlds doings not only commercially, relgiously, but musically.
 During the last decade of the south from the Mason and Dixon line to even the extreme southern point of the penin- sula state-Florida-ha welcomed, yea, courted the coming, a season, great solo, ists, pianists. orchestras. grand opera who in years agone have confined them selves to the north, east and west, but are now realizing that the south is a part of the musical man of America. The south is no longer asleep. Its great de- velopments in all lines from the tilling of the soil, the digging of coal, the mak- ing of iron, the increased educational fla cilities-all united to establish its place in world affairs-and now it seems comes the last link in the chain of progress, that firmly binds the east and west, the north and south into one revolving circle of unity and purpose-that of the great mu- sieal festival meeting of the National Federation of Music clubs of America in the very center of the south.
 The great and near-great cities of the far south-New Orleans, Louisville, Mem phis, Charleston, Spartanburg, Atlanta. Tampa-have their seasons of music, fes tivals, grand opera, community singing, artists, etc. The smaller cities, villages and even the rural communities have all contributed their quota to the south's de- velopment, musieally, but there is still another city from which the south sem her musical representative, Prudence Neff, to stand for the whole south, musi cally, to the meeting of the National Federation of Music clubs in the far

Dr. Kelley's New England symphony, which was the central feature of the symphony concerts in San Francisco under the direction of Albert Hertz, will be given here by the Russian symphony orchestra.
