that in the tenth year the pay of

MUSIC FESTIVAL
MEETING CALLED
City Heads Summon ESQ
Civic Leaders to Form
Committee for Event.

The proposal to make Washington
the scene of a music festival next
Spring that would attract nationwide
attention began to take definite shape
today when Commissioner Cuno II.
Rudolph announced that he had called
$50 leaders from the business, civic
and music circles Of the city to meet
in the board room Of the District
Building at o'clock Tuesday after
noon to launch the undertaking.
In requesting these representative
men and women to gather in the
boardroom Commissioner Rudolph ad-
vised them that the purpose Of the
meeting was to consider the forma-
ton of a committee or association to
stage an annual music festival in the
National Capital.
Will Outline Plans.
Mr.. Rudolph, as president of the
Board OF Commissioners, will call the
meeting TO order and outline the Wis
ion which the city heads have of
placing the Nations Capital In an
eminent position on the musical map
of America through the Inauguration
Of an annual Spring musical of the
highest possible order.
In planning for this meeting the
Commissioners have indicated that
they visualize an event next Spring
far more elaborate and impressive
than week of music. They feel that
yearly festival of the kind they have
In mind would mark the beginning of
a movement to make the Capital City
the music center Of the United States,
just as 1t has come to be looked upon
as an educational center through the
establishment here of universities
Libraries, museums and similar insti-
tutions of higher learning.
The Commissioners will not under
take to carry out the details Of the
task Of arranging for the festival after
the committee has been formed, but
they are sponsoring the movement
and have shown that 1t will have their
wholehearted support.
A bill was drafted sometime ago
for enactment by Congress providing
for the establishment of national
conservatory of music in Washington,
and it is believed that producing Of an
annual music festival along proper
lines will serve to bring out the music
qualities of the city and give impetus
to the proposal to establish the ma
tional conservatory here.
