| Clubs is out after subscription OF
500 each from 100 music clubs In the
country. and probably. sooner or later.
at least one Washington organiza-
| ton will contribute to this fund.
1t seems 1t was all started by the

| which wrote to Mrs. Frank A. Seiber-
| ling, national chairman Of finance for
the federation. stating it would be
! one of the 100 clubs to subscribe
this amount to the federation before

| At some of the performances Of the
| artistic production of "As You Like
| It. last week an odd anachronism
was noted in the playing of the popu-
! lar melody Parade of the Wooden
Soldiers" during the assembling of
| courtiers for the wrestling match
! scene. This anachronism would not
have been SO noticeable il the rest Of
the musical program had not been so
strictly in character with the period
OF Shakespeare. The singing of
| Under the Greenwood Tree" was ex-
| ceptionally pleasing.
| Word comes from New York that
| the Ckrainian national chorus. which
| was so much enjoyed on its two ap-
| pearances in Washington, will start
! on pan-American tour the first of
| May and will feature the introduction
OF American folksongs, thus con-
| tributing a musical mite toward the
! furtherance of the union of the Amer
| icas. These songs are said to show
| in a striking manner the similitude
of rhythmic cadence in the folksongs
of the American aborigine. the North
| American negro, and the South Ameri-
| can ingidence.\
| Georges Encsco, who was heard in
