MdcDOwell Colony In This City To Be
 Enlarged

Plans are being perfected for en- largement of the scope of the Mac Dowell club Of Birmingham. of which Ferdinand Dunkley is director and Mrs. Harry Burn, president.
 MT. Dunkley, in speaking of these plans, said Many states of the memory of Americas greatest com poser, Edward Mcdowell. and l want to see Alabama, one of the most highly organized states of the cCun- try In the matter of music clubs, also gain a conspicuous place through its support of the Mcdowell colony at Peterborough, N. H.. Which is one of the greatest meporials ever con ceived, in/that iBhonors the dead by encouraging and assisting the living in pursuit of the Ideals for which the master stood and labored,
 New Jersey especially has been very helpful to the colony by pre- senting studios. The studio in which worked this summer was given by the Federation of Womens Clubs of New Jersey. and there is another studio which was given by the Mon day Musical club of Orange N J. "As nucleus around which tC build up a large active cooperation with the Edward Mcdowell asso- ciation. which manages the colony, last season 1 organized the MacDow- ell club of Birmingham, and so. con1 stituted it that all the members. both active and associate, automatically become supporters Of the colony by a portion of the dues going to the Birmingham chapter of the MacDow- ell Colony league, an organization created for the enlistment of popu- lar interest.
 ft iS dp enlarge the scope and activity Lf the Mcdowell club by adding women s chorus under my direction. But whether this shall be done depends upon the amount of co-operatlon or fered by the singers of Birmingham. 1t must be of the highest possible standard one that will dc honor to its members as well IS to the cause it will serve.
 Birmingham" MT. Dunkley con tinued should have al least one chorus of something like metro politan standard, and 1t does not need me to say that within certain limits as to numbers there are women m this city with the voice and musl- cianship equal to the making or sueh an ensemble. It is just question whether they are willing tC devote the time and energy through having sufficient interest in this branch or artistic endeavor to feel that it is
 worth while. As a guarantee to those who have the proper vocal equipment and musicianship, a hlgh standard of admission has been set only in this way can work of the highest class be accomplished, and those who are admitted feel that they are not being hampered by the inef- ficiency 1f some around them. Mem. bership this season is limited to 80 voices and as already many or Ihe nlaces have been taken, ladies de- sirous of becoming charter members should make immediate application to me at my studio, 1912 Fourteenth avenue, south. or phone for an ap7 pointment-Main 260S-J.

The numerous members of the Lit tie theatre will be greatly interested to kr'w that MT. szold has selected the plays to be given before the membership for the first performance, which will be held the last week in October. The plays, Mrs. Allen says, will be shown only before members of the Little theatre. There will be no paid admissions, as the space at the Allen school is limited, so that all that can possibly witness the pro- auctions will be the eight hundred who have the season tickets. So all of you who are deeply interested in this awakening of the dramatic art in Birmingham and who as yet have not got your membership, there are still a few tickets available. You may get into communication with any member of the board and so se- cure a card of admission.
 But enough of this business side, let Us get to the really interesting part. The plays, which have been se- lected for the first performance are three one-act plays, two comedies, Joint owners In Spain" by Alice and one serious play, The Glory of the Morning." by E. Leonard. The casts have not been definitely set tied upon, but will be this week, In all probability. at which time the di- rector wil make the decisions pub lie. It was decided after some thought by the committee on select ing the plays, which is composed of MT. Allen Loehr. Mrs. c. R. Sexton and Mrs. R. c. Woodson with MT. Szold as an advisory member, that the one-act plays would be most suit able for tho first production of the Little theatre, as one-act plays are really a product of the Little theatre idea and for the practical reason that II will give a chance for MT. Szold to get acquainted with more of the act ing material, which he will use in future productions. The committee has various plans for future perform ances, which include several delight ful three-act plays by modern authors Of note.
 The stage and the auditorium are being arranged very attractively by committee of artists. On this conn mittee are Miss Hannah Elliott, Mrs. Will Warren, Miss Della Dryer Miss Carrie Hill. Mrs. SaXton Crawford, the very cream of Birmingham artists. So you see that I am able to speak with perfect confidence when I say that the committee on scenery Is &C., complaining lovely things. Already Mr. Schillinger has begun work on the sets" for the coming productions. In one there will be a forest scene, on which the, artistic committee are planning to Spend a. gre t amount of labor In another there Is an at-

 The work has begun, too, on the painting of the chairs for the audi | ences, which are being painted to
 harmonize with the hangings and the
 mural decorations of the auditorium.
 Mrs A. T. Simons committee of the Junior League is being so very kind as to take charge of this part of the work They meet every morning and sometimes in the afternoon, too, get
 ting these chairs ready for the Little theatregoers.
 Mrs Allen is in great need, she says for kind friends of the theatre
 to help in moving scenery during re-
 hearsals,sor to help arrange the stage for actual performances. or to help
 the committee in securing the right properties for different plays. So
 those of you who are so interested, but who have felt too diffidenL about trying out" for parts in the plays, come and give your aid in any
 way that you can for the successful production of the plays. Possibly, If you are secretly ambitious, but too modest to be an actor, your chance may come, when another actor is SICK, to dazzle the director and other members of the cAsr by your unsus- pected talent; or perhaps you may de- velop a hitherto undiscovered eXecu-
 tive ability, and become manager,
 or artistic ability and become a di- rector. So do come and add your in- terest to that of those who are al- ready working to make this first big
 artistic venture a success.
 cannot close this short survey of the things that the Little theatre Is doing without speaking of the director, MT. Bernard Szold, who has already won the admiration of the board of directors, an all of the others whom he has met since he has come to Birmingham. Last week he spoke before the Axis club and before the Community club, and delighted them both, so that you can get some idea of how really fortunate the thea tre is in having him to start it on the right path. For he desires more than anything else to give to Birmingham an institution that will reveal to us
 things artistic and at the same time given in a sincere and earnest way.
 Carnegie Tech School of Dramatic
 Art, which has already made a very
 great name for itself in the dramatic world. Of course, MT. Bakers "Workshop" at Harvard paved the
 way for the theatre to seriously con
 slider college training as an asset in
 the production of artistic plays. And now the Little theatre is having the chance to add to this proof. Although in addition to academic training MT.
 Szold has to his credit a great deal of actual experience in producing.
