The Bard in Heidelberg.

GA MIDS UMMER NIGHTS
DREAM" played on beautiful
Summer evening in the open courtyard
of what many consider the most inter-
esting and most grandiose medieval
castle ruin in Europe-Heidelberg. The
idea is just now again becoming
reality. In the latter part of July and
the first half Of August the Heidelberg
festival plays, which have now become
a firmly established feature of the Ger
man Summer theater, are taking place
under Gustav Hartung, one of the most
important of German theater directors.
The program of this years Heidel-
berg festival plays include two plays
by Shakespeare-"A Midsummer Nights
Dream" already a traditional part Of
these festival performances, and the
seldom played, "Troilus and CreSsida. +"
Both are given in the courtyard of the
mann's "Florian Geyer," with Heinrich
George in the title role, is played in the
so-called BandhauSsaal, a wonderful old
Gothic hall, under the direction of Ru-
dolf Ritter, who first created the role
of Florian Geyer, under Otto Brahm.
Everything connected with these dra-
matte productions gives them magical
effect. "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" takes on a new and enhancing
romanticism In this romantic valley Of
the Neckar. The scenery has been sup
piled by Nature herself. including even
the dim illumination by the firefiies.
The background is furnished by the
Otto Heinrich building of the castle,
through whose empty windows come
the voices of the night.
At midnight torches light the way
from the castle courtyard across the old
drawbridge into the castle park. But
the Midsummer nights dream is not
ended when the autos or the street car
bears the visitor away from the scene.

as a remarkable singer and pianist.
At an early age the little Cecile de-
voted herself to the study of the piano.
She was only 8 years old, when she
attracted the attention Of Bizet with
her compositions. At 10, she gave her
first public concert with great success.
At 20 she composed her first work,
Les Amazones," which was given
premier production at Marselle in
1888.
She won fame first as a pianist.
She had studied in Paris under lie
Coupey, Savard, Marsick, and Benjamin
GODDARD. She soon achieved fine repu-
tation as a performer and appeared in
concert programs in Paris, Berlin, Wen
ma, London, Constantinople and in
other cities.
Mime. Chaminade visited the United
States in 1908, having q very success
full tour, including a public concert
and several private appearances In
Washington under the supervision Of
her friend, Miss Cryder. This was her
only American tour. She played IS
programs and had packed houses IN
New York as well as elsewhere. in
Guiding an immense audience in Wash
ington.
An amusing incident occurred in con-
nection with this visit in Washington.
After Mime. Chaminade had lunched at
the French embassy and had been pre-
sented to the then President and Mrs.
Roosevelt at the White House, she was
left at her hotel. the Willard, where 1t
had been pre-arranged that she was to
meet Miss Cfyder. After a very long
wait at the appointed place, Miss
Cryder went to the desk and asked for
Mime. Chaminade. She could not be
found. Boys were sent all over the
hotel. No Nine. Chaminade!
Miss Cryder telephoned the embassy
and was informed-"No, she is not
here, she was left safely at the hotel. ="
Finally an elevator man mentioned
that he had seen a foreign lady wan
dering about at the top OF the hotel.
It was Nine. Chaminade. She said to
Miss Cryder, in French, upon her
finally being rescued:
ct am nothing but q package, left
here and there, and know not where
1 am" Having keen sense Of humor,
the composer enjoyed the little episode
very much.
Nine. Chaminade also told Miss Cry
der that she thought that Mr.. Roose-
welt was a wonderful man and he had
talked to her in very good French most
entertainingly on the subject Of wild
animal hunting. AS for the President,
he told Miss Cryder at subsequent
meeting that he considered Nine.
Chaminade a wonderful woman. In
cidentally, it was partly due to the
high recommendation of her artistry as
a pianist given Nine. Chaminade by
President Roosevelt that she won the
much-coveted Legion d'Honneur"
medal In France. She is the only
famous woman musician to have re-
ceived this medal to date. She has
received many other decorations, In

students of the Conservatory at Athens,

THERE is no woman composer who
has won higher honor and recogni-
ton than Nine. Cecile Carbonel Cha
minade of France, who will celebrate her
sixty-eighth birthday anniversary Thurs
day of this week. Her songs in particu-
lar are famous all over the world and
she also has many instrumental compo-
sitions, including works for chamber
music and orchestral rendition that are
frequently performed. There are sew
eral clubs of music lovers scattered
throughout the world that are named
in her honor. One such is the Cha
minade Glee Club in Washington, of
which Miss Esther Linkins is director
and organizer, with Miss Mary A. Cry
der, an intimate friend Of Mime. Cha
minade, as its chief sponsor.
Cecile Louise Stephanie Chaminade,
who at present uses the surname Of
her late husband as her middle name
instead Of the above with which she
was christened, was born in Paris, Au-
gust 8. 1861. Her family was quite
