New National Anthem
Contest Arouses Interest

A RETURN to date of more than 6S4
"A manuscripts from poets and musi-
clans all over the United States Is evil
dence of the widespread interest in
the new national anthem competition.
Hardly had Mrs Florence Brooks
Atens' offer Of $4,000 in cash awards
been made public when the first manu-
script was received. 1t is the opinion
Of Lambert Murphy, chairman OF the
board of judges, that before the close
of the PRELIMINARY contest for words
only, october Is, more than 1000 poems
were submitted. Every State IN the
Union is represented in the manuscripts
thus far received. The Midwest leads,
with her position hotly contested by
the South. California ranks highest
among the States, closely followed by
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio in
the order named One anthem, in
cluding both words and music, has
been received from United States Citi-
zen in Vancouver.
Feminine interest seems to predon-
mate in this first contest. More manu-
scripts have been received from women
than from men, their texts all stress
ing emphatically great desire for
peace. Mr.. Murphy believes that many
leading poets and composers are col
laborating in an endeavor to produce
the $3,000-prize- winning anthem for
the final contest which closes April 15,
1929,

PHILADELPHIA Orchestra patrons
again will have opportunity to hear
Sir Thomas Beecham, the distinguished
English musician, as guest conductor
at two of the five concerts to be given
at the Washington Auditorium this
season.
Last year Sir Thomas was guest con-
ductor not only for the Philadelphia
Symphony but also for the New York
Philharmonic and the Boston SYM
phony Orchestras.
Sir Thomas Beecham Is the son of
Sir Joseph Beecham, wealthy busl-
ness man, of England. Sir Joseph
died, and his son inherited the title
in 1915. The latter had the usual edu-
cation of rich young Englishman, at
oxford. His fathers wealth enabled
him to start Immediately upon the ca
reer of a conductor by establishing a
new orchestra for himself when he was
q years old. 1t is significant OF the
breadth of his taste that he employed
it first in concerts of old music. Later
he started a series of symphony con-
certs with programs of more modern
kind, in Queens Hall. One OF his
signal services in the cause OF English
music was his introduction of the works
of Frederick Delius.
His operatic experiences have been
extraordinary, and he produced in Lon
don many operas which would not
otherwise have been heard. He Is noted
as Mozart interpreter.
Writing in the New York Times about
Sir Thomas Beecham, Richard Aldrlcn
summed him up as "a conductor OF
power, of commanding personality, OF
deep discernment; conductor in whom
there Is a touch of genius and who can
accomplish remarkable things"
The Philadelphia Symphony OrcheS-
tra. will appear in Washington Novem-,
ber 1S, December IL, January ~ and
February IL and 20, under the local
management of T. Arthur Smith.

tee for the District of Columbia Fedora
ton Of Music Clubs, earnestly requests
the cooperation OF all teachers, young
artist musicians and student musicians

endeavor and artistic achievement upon
the musical spirit of Washington and

come to realize more each year the inn
portance of the purpose Of these con-

tive toward which to work; to inspire
to a greater effort through the stimulus
OF competition: to give an opportunity
for the student to evaluate himself in

tige to the young American student and
develop In him the spirit Of confidence,
and to prove to the young American
artist that the great body of federation
members has sympathy for him and is
anxious to be of service.
Many artists whose names are we'll
known on the concert or operate stage
today, including singers, pianists and
violinists, owe their success to the start
given them by the Federation of Music
Clubs through the medium of these
contests. Participants will find the ex-
