Clouds and Rain

from Windham County
TWO HUNDRED TAKE PART

Nearly two hundred members and
invited guests took part in the second
annual automobile tour of the Ben
nington County Farm Bureau Wednes
day. The weather was threatening
during tne entire day and in the af-
ternoon the rain nearly put one OF
the important features, the tractor
demonstration at Fillmore Farms, of
the program. Nothing was omitted,
however, and the tour in its all
around success surpassed the eXpec-
tations of the county farm agent and
the committee.
Every town in the county with the
exception of Winhall, Peru, Reads
boro and Stamford was represented
in the party and there were several
in attendance from Windham county
The town OF Rupert, where the first
exhibit was held, sent one of the best
delegations
While the starting point of the tour
was at the Leach farm in Rupert II
was not until the party reached the
Hard Brothers farm in Manchester
that a sufficient number had gathered
to create real interest.
Members of the party who joined
the tour in it's early stages We're for
tunate in that they had an opportuni-
ty to inspect the apple orchard of b.
III. West in Dorset Mr. West showed
the tourists over some of the property
and explained the methods of culture
through which he has been able to
grow certain varieties of apples that
have been prize winners at some OF
the biggest fruit shows in the east
They also had the pleasure of put
bag their teeth into some excellent
red astrachans.
At the Hard Brothers farm in Man
chester the tourists encountered the

plane. The owners of the property

ed were an object lesson that was
more than worth the expenditure OF
an entire day to the rs or more who
we're present There is an excellent
piece of alfalfa on the farm that has
been cut twice during the present
season and the third crop is well ad
vanced. The novelty of the exhibit
was the milling machine and the op'
portunity given to compare the costs
Of land and machine milling.
Another valuable demonstration at
the Hard Brothers farm was the com
parative records that have been kept
on three cows. Careful tests have
been made, the milk being weighed
three times a month, and the results
showed variation of SO pounds oil

z. g.. W0de}s0zsse on
The Ciyber5tiu1e Tradition

! situation? The Bolton Wodehouss
n'usical comedy is farce put to music.
Il does not drag its chorus on in
highly improbable moments. Nor does
It allow itself to be tempted by the
possibility of making girls look like
hatboXes or lampshades or cocktail
glasses. 1t keeps its chorus IN a we'll
bred background, as a mere accessory.
The lyrics come out OF the situation.
All this is not new, you may say.
There is the Gilbertian Tradition. Now,
the Gilbertian Tradition is something
that every man who wants to write
libretto of taste and lyrics of distinc-
ton butts his head against. He drinks
deep at the source Ito change the
metaphor) and gets so drunk that he is
unified for original work. Mr.. Wode-
house at twenty-one wrote several fam
tastic plays which he thought were in
spired by Gilbert, but which he later
saw were slavish limitations The Gill
bert and Sullivan productions are ad-
mittedly the final achievements in their
line. But they grew quite naturally
out OF their time and conditions. They
are really quite intensely British in
their outlook and expression. They
were crystallized expression of their
time. They were presented before edu-
Gated audiences at the Savoy on whom
none Of their classic and satiric illu-
sions were wasted.
Those audiences were willing to mset
their objective satire by using IN
Imagination in meeting the fantastic
conditions Of presentation. that New
York audiences could not be persuaded
to exert. That is why charming and
quite exceptionally high class operetta
like Tine Arcadians" Of some seasons
ago failed in New York. Gilbert and
Sullivan's audiences were willing to so
to Utopia or Japan or nlyria. Ameri-
can audiences insist upon "realism"
even in comic opera. The great Amer
lean musical comedy will have to be
something original and probably some
thing with a local flavor 1t will have
to steer somewhere between the Gil-
bertian Tradition and the Inchoatc
Tradition. Not only does American
taste limit the librettist, but the
conditions of production leave him
by no means unhampered. 1t is COM
plicated by what the public wants,
what the manager thinks the pub
tic wants and what the music pub
hshers want. There is trade fashion
in songs which the librettist must OBJ
serve. The manager demands that d
song receive certain number of en-
cores or that it be discarded
song is declared failure if the music
publishers do not sell a certain number
of copies Of it.
Bolton and Wodehouse have done a
good deal toward changing the trend
of musical comedy. Their well bred,
gracile intimacy has inscnsibly altersd
the fashion of the stupid and garish
musical production of ten years ago.
Their charm, their sparkle and their
kindliness have added to our fund OF
good taste. And that is considerable
achievement.
