MUSIC FESTIVAL WEEK
FORT HAYS NORMAL
MAY IST TO MAY sTH

The third annual Music Festival
Week of the Fort Hays Kansas Nor
NAL School, which will take place dur
ing eight days, May 1st to May 8th,
will mark another forward step in the
development of music appreciation in
Western Kansas. During the seven
years that Henry Edward Malloy has
been Director of Music at the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal School, Hays
has become the music center of the
West.
The two preceding festivals have
been tremendous successes. They
have been successes, not only from
the standpoint of artistry and the
quality of talent presented, not only
from the standpoint of the member
ship and excellent chorus, not only
from the standpoint of crowds and
appreciative audiences, but from the
standpoint of a larger social con-
sciousness for Western Kansas, and
loftier appreciation for some fine
things most worth while.
) This year the patrons and the
executive committee of the Music
Festival Week present Music Fest
ival which they believe will surpass
all previous attempts. On the first
Sunday afternoon, Eddy Brown,
Americas famous violinist, will give
his recital On the first Sunday eve
ming the Festival Chorus will sing
''The Creation On the second Sun
day afternoon, Rosa Ponselle, the
worlds greatest Dramatic Soprano,
will give her recital, and on
the second Sunday evening the
Festival Chorus will sing "The
Messiah The oratorio quartet
this year represents "a marvellous ar
ray of talent" and "a galaxy of beau
ty." A combination of circumstances
and the expenditure of money has
made possible an oratorio quartet
which will not be surpassed and prob
ably not equaled in any of the great
music festivals this year.
During the whole week there will
be two musical programs each day,
one in the afternoon at three O'Clock,
and one in the evening at eight
o'clock. The afteroon programs will
be made up of recitals by the faculty
members of the Department of Music
and of students recitaIs. The eve
ming programs will consist of recitals
by the members of the oratorio quar-
tet, and on Saturday night will occur
the All-Artist Concert.
1t is the desire of the executive
committee of the Music Festival
Week that large numbers of musi-
clans spend the whole of Music Fest
ival Week in Hays. Professor Malloy
wishes all musicians in Western Kan
sas to adopt this slogan and act upon
it: "Spend Music Festival Week in
Hays"

(AND LATER)

And when the fuss was over,
And the boys came marching home,
Pretty Mabelle was in clover,
And never seemed alone.
(STILL LATER)
And then came handsome stranger,
A stranger from afar,
And she quickly ditched her war
heroes,
For he drove a Marmon car.
Moral.-The tread lights of a car look
better to some girls than the
brass buttons on a faded uni
form.

1t Also Has Happened

Pretty Mabelle was the village belle
When the war broke out;
The boys all gathered round her,
When she chanced to be about;
She said "I'll marry no one
That does not go and fight"
And a week after she made that stall
There was not village swain in
sight.
