America Has Folk Songs,
Saws y. Y. e. Professor

The statement that America has no
folksonqs and must ever be without
such foundation for a national music
because there is no peasant class in
this country IS too broad, according
to William Lyndon Wright, Of the
Department OF Music, Of New York
University. Discussing the tolksong
before an audience at the university
few days ago, Professor Wright said:
"Tn my younger student days was
accustomed to hear banded about as
AT easy trusm that, since America
possessed no peasant class, there was
no such thing as an American folk
song and that the nearest we came
TO the genuine expression of our ma
tional characteristics in songs OF our
own was in the music Of Stephen Fos-
ter. Later, when l came to make some
thing Of a hobby of the study OF folk
songs, discovered that in the stricter
sense this statement was altogether
untrue
Even il we discard all remote or
alien sources, ruling out the songs OF
the aboriginal Redskins and Of the
negroes and all the songs Of Anglo
Saxon or Celtic origin brought over
By the colonists Of New England or the
South, We still have a number of ma
tive products which are genuine folk
song although innocent of individual
or definite authorship, songs which,
ike Topsy, Just growed.' These songs
are as truly traditional group products
~ the rhymes which the children in
our streets today use for jumping rope
and similar games.
~Several Of these songs have been
sung in the different concerts given
Ills summer at the university. One Of
.he most interesting is The Lone
Prairee, typical American product
Tnicn comes from the cowboys of the
Western plains. Another is sung by the
mounta!aeers % Kentucky and is called

OLD LYME, Conn. Aug. lS.-The
twentieth annual exhibition OF the Old
Lyme art colony, which has jvst
opened, is OF especial interest this
year because It is held in the new

Of years Of effort on the part OF the
local painters 1t is true that sorle of
he interest that the previous shows
held Is now lacking. People go to the
Summer exhibitions primarily 70 see
what the painters in the different at
settlements hsve been doing during tae
preceding year. When work Of other
men and other years IS included in
these collections the informallty that
IS the chief charm OF the summer show

At Old Lyme We see the work Of

OF Old Lyme AIT
AS this Is the opening exhibition Of

thought fitting to make it a rather
ceremonious one, a sort OF grand re-

men are. in sense, on trial. The appro-

The Bedtime Song These people, de-
scended in an unbroken line from peas
ant inm igrants who came to Am erica
in early days, are the nearest approach
to peasant class in America, and they
still sing some of the peasant songs
they brought from England. The Bed
time Song however, is product of
their own, and is the typical folksong
of a simple people close to the soil
and to nature. There are many YER
sions Of it, but prefer the one made
by Howard Brockway and Lorraine Wy
man, which runs as follows:

where thirty or so landscape men and
figure or portrait painter or two do
tEeir outdoor work may be questioned
The verdict of those who see the work of
the bona hde Old Lyme men this year
viii undoubtedly be that their pictures
fully Justify the building, if they had
the money to pat it up, and that the
hypothesis concerns only them. Tbs
verdict would, in sense. be cleaner
cut were il not for the extraneous wit
nesses N the shape of pictures by ex-
me bers of the colony.
This exhibition looks more like the
big winter shows in the cities than
did any of the nineteen that were held
IN the village library building. This
is not SO much because Of the conven-
tional unbroken wall spaces as because
Connecticut landscapes are not so
largely in the majority as usual. Ivan
Ohnsky and W H. Foote have figures
that beckon the attention, and in
landscape there are many motifs that
are exotic to New England. This chow
has life and variety, and the spice IS
furnished by Lawton Parker's nude.

All Old Members
Up to Standard

The thirty that we have called bona
fide Old Lyme men have found time
IN the last year TO do uniformly good
work. and hardly one has fallen below
his average. Harry L. Hoffman, whose
fertile Imagination IN the past has
even gone under the sea for motives
and of whom We always expec. things
worth looking at. is little disappoir,-
ing in his Brook in June. This
might be cited as good example Of
honest and unaffected work, done with
good feeling for line and color and
with little of the manipulation OF CON-
position that the men of Old Lyme are
producing. As a type it is good. bu.
az a Hoffman it does not satisfy us.
Clark Voorhees, and Wilson Irvine both
show snow scenes OF moderate size
that cannot help but appeal to those
who know the Connecticut winter. We
mean knowing it by living in it and
loving it. They have painted not one
dramatic moment, but without over
interpre ting they have suggested tell
lngly the Drooding silence and calm
mystery that stay with the Connect
cut fields and hills from the time the
snow comes until il goes. Guy Wig
