such feast is difficult to absorb when
so many different types Of works are
given initial presentation In Wash

its very newness make definite criti-

SEVEN COMPOSERS
WORKS PRESENTED
American Women Show Dis
tinCtive Qualities in Pro-
! gram at D. A. R. Hall.

The second program of music writ
ten by IS American woman composers
was given at Memorial Continental
Hall last night before an interested
audience. The composers whose works
were presented were Mrs. II. II. y.
Beach, Mabel Wood Hill, Helen Sears,
Mabel w. Daniels, Mary Howe, Nir-
Einia Roper and Frances Marion Raj
StOn.
The distinctive hit" of the evening
was Miss RalSton's sonata, Creole. y
for violin and piano. 1t was a finely
balanced and compactly worRed-out
composition. in which strictly classical
lines are adhered to, yet showing de-
Cided originality. 1t opens with the
usual allegro movement. followed by
an andante. II is the third movement,

movement features the theme of the

lov, Washington violinist. assisted.
Miss Ralston is fine pianist as well
as composer.
Mrs. BeaCh's Work Sung.
Mrs Beach's Peter PAN" chorus
for WomenS voices, proved another
work that was easy to listen to. 1t
has elusive eChoinG phrases that cling
to the mind as the ghost of Peter Pan
himself haunts grown-upS who possess
imagination. With the composer at
the piano, this work was sung by the
Rubinstein Club which also sang Mrs.
Beachs Sea FarieS," another lovely
choral number.
Mary Howe of Washington played
three ChorusAs for mixed voices, all
distinctive and melodious. The Wash
inGton Choral Society attempted to
present them. but words were praC-
tically a total loss to the audience.
The music, being still i'll manuscript,
gave added obstacles TO a happy
presentation. Mrs. Howe's Convict
Song" sounded as if it might be a
vivid and dramatic number if given
with more finish.

by a woman when Helen Sears of
