the southern night close in like a
great wall of velvet blackness un-
til. one by one. the brilliant stars
and the pale glowing moon brig
back a soft light to the evening.
In the distance there Is the mellow
chime of bells. Sometimes q chorus
Of villagers comes singing to Mr..
Casals his own "Sardanas." The
'Sardanas" are native dances, ac-
companied by choral singing and are
a characteristic music of the Span
ish people. Sometimes we stroll to
the Casino and play billiards with
the fishermen from the village, for
Casals loves to mingle with his own
people and, in spite of the great
veneration they have for him. they
treat him as one OF themselves.
It Is in this delightful manner that
the summer passes all too quick
ly-recreation and work (of you
call 1t that) SO blended that one
scarcely realizes the passing OF the
days I cannot but feel what q
great privilege 1t IL to be near such
a personality as that Of Mr.. Casals
one whose life Is as fine and
strong as his work and who exerts
so great an influence for the best
on all those about him. His work
Is an inspiration to all musicians
devoted, as he IL, to the highest
standards of art-and his life
should be an inspiration to all men,"
At that concert at Mrs. Gaf's
when Casals and Mary Garden were
the drawing cards. Louis Thompson
was scheduled to sing also, but had
to disappoint the committee in
charge at the last moment, because
of an attack of laringitis. Mr..
Thompson has given up his work
and his most promising career to
fight for Uncle Sam. He Ii at Camp
Meade serving with the 154th De-
pot Brigade. Tenth Company. He
gave the soldiers of his BATTALION
a retreat on the Fourth by singing
for them.
