The Washington herald., 1920-07-11

dren who sought long and far for
the Blue Bird only to return home
to- find that the happiness they
Hinged for was within their own
-aar. have often marked the go
ing. away of many capable mu-
sicians, who, I suppose, felt that
the, opportunities to fame and for
tune would be more easily found
outside OF this city. / presume
they imagined that their field of
usefulness was too narrow in WASH
inEton. Some of those / have in
mind have gone as FAR as the shores
of the Pacific. And 1t is question
i'm my mind whether or not they
have found that for which they
sought.
I'm the meantime" continued Mrs.
Lawson, the capable musicians who
haee remained in Washington have
become among the most successful
soloists and teachers to be found
anywhere 1t would be an easy
matter for me to name music
teachers in this city who are busy
from early to late. In fact, l am
told that prospective pupils expert
ence difficulty in finding a place on
their schedules. From a financial
ticularly well favored. Several OF
our soIoists, both vocal and in
strumental, have about all they can
do to keep up with their out-of-
town engagements. and you never
hear them complain that they VIII
be- compelled to leave this little
town"
Mrs. Lawson pointed out that,
while IL is naturally true that the
number of opportunities is greater
In a crowded metropolis than in
smaller city. yet this condition is
counterbalanced by the unquestion-
able truth that the number of ap-
plicants for each position is cor
respondingly greater.
"The moral of what 1 have just
said, il there is one" added the
speaker. "is that the thorough musi-
clan can find as sure a reward for
his or her talents in Washington as
can be secured in any other city of
this country"
