voluntary for the federated organiza-
tions. The payment of club dues en-
titles each organization to a certain
quota of bulletins but as the bulletin
is published at a great expense to the
national body, it was thought that
s(ome organizations might be willing
to contribute this additional so cents
toward its publication, so the cards
were inclosed with the membership
certificates. Checks for subscriptions
to the bulletin may be made payable
to the District Of Columbia Fedora
ton of Music Clubs and be sent to
Homer l. Kilt, local treasurer.
All musical organizations, whether
members Of the federation or not, are
invited to register their concert dates
for the coming season, as soon as de-
cided upon, with Mrs. May Brooks
Ramsdell, chairman for concert regis
tration. More than once last season
two or more local musical organiza-
tions gave concerts on the same eve
ming. If all organizations will regis
ter dates with Mrs. Ramsdell these
conflicts will not occur. This invita-
ton is also extended to individual
artists arranging concerts.
Esther Linkins, president Of the
District of Columbia Federation, will
appreciate it If all club presidents
and choir directors will notify her of
changes in board representatives
from their respective organizations,
that the work may be reorganized in
the Fall as easily as possible. Also
will board members please notify Miss
Linkins as to the day of week and
time most convenient for them to at
tend board meetings. Last season
they were held Saturday afternoons
at 1870 but this proved an inconveni-
ent time for some, SO IL a more con-
venient time may be selected for the
majority it is her desire to do so.
Herman Richards is a new associ-
ate member of the local federation
and Mrs. Ralph P. Barnard and Percy

on the local board. Ruth l. Jeffers,

Ames Innovates.

WINTHROP AMES has his own
w ideas of preparedness. When the
actors engaged for his forthcoming
production "Old Man Minick" assem-
bled at the Booth Theater for their
first rehearsal they found the scenic
investiture was already completed.
There was not a chair, nor a rug, not
a picture that was not in its place.
Further, Mr.. Ames had already di-
rected Fighting rehearsals," and
every detail of stage mechanism had
been carefully worked out.
Only those who have experienced
the turmoils of rehearsals during
which flurried stage hands attempt
to assemble scenery they have never
seen before, while electricians scurry
hither and thither turning spots on
here and floods OF there. can appre-
ciate what this innovation means to
the actor.
This is said to be the first time in
the history Of American theatricals
where the scenic environment of a
new production has been completely
assembled before rehearsals them
selves have started. The Importance
of it is that right from the start the
actors can live in the proper atmos-
nhere. knowing exactly where en-
frances. chairs and properties are,
and as soon as the company is any
where near letter perfect. Mr.. Ames
plans to allow them to rehearse IN
costume and makeup. thus aiding
the feeling that each rehearsal Is In
reality a performance.

American Composers
GRACE PORTERFIELD POLK

INDIANA has become noted as a
State where many famous authors
have been born and lived. Now the
Hoosier State is bidding for another
title. that Of a leader in the musical
progress in America Much OF the
credit for this States wide-awake at
titude In the musical arts Is due to
the splendid efforts of Grace Porter
field Polk. prominent American COM
poser.
She was born in Preble County,
Ohio, and was baby when her fam
lily moved to Richmond, Ind. She con-
siders the latter delightful Quaker
city" as home. Following Grace Por-
terfeld's graduation from public
grade and high school, she studied
piano with Laura CASTOR and. also,
with Prof. Max Locker Of Indianapo-
lis. She later attended a girls class
ical school of Washington, ID. c., fol-
lowing this training with a course at
the College of Music in Cincinnati,
Ohio. She studied voice training with
Nine. Tecla Vigna and continued vocal
studies with Prof. Bush Foley. She
also has coached with Oscar Saeng er
Of New York
Il did not take harmony and theory
very seriously" says this composer,
and my mother was extremely dis
concert with the Star Lecture Bureau
OF Cincinnati. I, however, considered
that work as a very wonderful ex-
perience. Then I went from Rich
mond to Indianapolis, a distance of
70 miles, every week end to sing in
the Meridian Methodist Church, under
the direction of my former piano
teacher, Prof. Leckner. Just three
months after I met Mr.. Ralph Polk
nf Ina
apolis. we were engaged, and. after a
most delightful courtship, were mar
rled in six months-so | can recon-
mend short engagements."
Grace Porterfield Polk's husba nd g
interest in music has proved a great
help to her in her work-interesting
others in musical progress. After
the loss OF three lovely children, she
turned to music for consolation. and
found that she was endowed with the
unusual gift Of creating songs. get
ting words and melody simultane-
ously.
Mrs. Polk was the first national ju-
nior chairman of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Music Clubs. and enjoyed
feeling that she, as she expressed it,
had all the children of this L. S. A.
under her wings"
ITO accomplish ideals we must be-
gin Win youth. says MIS-. POLK

passed beyond and left to the COM
munity of Greenwood, d suburb of In

had long been residents, d gift of a
Polk Memorial Community Building,
which cost 100000
1T is equipped with a library, ban
quet halls, clubrooms, swimming
pool. and an auditorium with a seat
ing capacity of 1000. This gift in
spired me with the thought that
could do something for musical com
posers of Indiana. 1t has been a strug-
gle for me TO accomplish what l have
so far in composition and often
wonder how composers ever live
through the struggles to achieve
recognition when they really have
to write music to keep the wolf from
the door.
