: in the world. I am sure the must
clans will receive him as hos
pitably as they have the retiring
editor and show him as splendid
| cooperation to make The Star
music page always a bigger and
better endeavor.
TT has been very interesting to
sit in the office chair. or the
orchestra seat of theater. and
watch the artists and near-artists
come and go; to hear new works
performed for first times, old ones
revived from dim pasts, and rec
ognized standard classics given
varied and sometimes original in
+, terpretations.
This business of sitting on the
sidelines of the musical game
gives one many angles on each
performance that merit thought
Also one learns many things that
cannot safely be put into print,
yet which are important clues in
the unraveling of the intriguing
mystery of who murdered the
latest classical ethics or some
similar crimes committed in the
name of music. Equally, one is
enabled, in this position, to as
certain the sources from which
spring later sometimes the hap
pieSt inspirations in musical en-
tertainment.
1t is a great life if you learn
how to WELD the blue pencil, and
when.
AS one reviews the general Sit
= uation of musical affairs in
the National Capital at this time,
it is again forced to ones atten-
ton how persistently, through
sometimes as long a period as a
half century, a few individuals
have carried the backbone Of in
terest in developing musical pro-
grams. There are each season.
of course, a few newcomers who
make their home here who are
seasoned musicians and bring
their background of experience
and the freshness of individuali-
ties from other places as assets
to local endeavors. On the other
hand, Washington owes a consid-
cradle proportion of what it now
possesses in musical events and
progress to group that includes:
Carl and Edward Droop, Josef and
Anton Kaspar, Mary A. Cryder,
Lucy Brickenstein, T. Arthur
Smith, Katie Wilson Greene, Amy
Leavitt, Henry Xander, Annie L.
Goodhue, Mrs. Lawrence Town
send, Harry Wheaton Howard,
Mrs. Eugene Byrnes, Florence
Howard, Albert w. Harmed. Ruby
Smith Stahl, John Marville,
Esther Linkins, Mrs. Joseph Stod-
dard, Lewis Atwater and others,
who either have built organiza-
lions or have vitality assisted in
founding ideas which have bios
somed. In addition, there are
many others W31o, as SoloiStS and
teachers, have done and are con-
tinuing to do their part in provid-
ing talent for local endeavors and
training some of the most gifted
of the younger group so that they
are now succeeding in New York
and elsewhere.
It is with the most sanguine
hopes for the further development
and future progress from current
endeavors and ambitions that this
sitter on the bylines for the past
seven years types the last word of
appreciation of the cooperation
on the part of the musicians in
Washington while she occupied
this desk and wishes for their
continued and increasingly pros
porous success.

A LREADY both amateur and

tailed announcement of specific
events to the able pen of my sue
cessor in the music editorship of
The Star.
This young man is Edward de
Selding Melcher, a graduate Of
Harvard University, native of
Maine, and, unsteady, a trained
disciple in the art of fiddling. MIR.
Melcher studied the violin from
the time he was years old. His
teacher was Edith Jewell of Bos-
ton, an exponent of the methods
of Leopold Auer.
This young American comes to
Washington from New York City,
where his family reside. He came
to The Star several months ago
and already has acquitted himself
nobly as a reviewer of motion
picture and stage productions. In
addition. during the Spring, he
proved a satisfactory and able as
sistart in the music department
Now he takes up both the black
and blue pencils to try and bring
the musical affairs of local folk

FIRE DAMAGES
CONAWAY HOME
ASkOy Volunteer Fire Fighters Quick
Action Saves Much Property
I'm Tuesdays Blaze.

Fire presumably caused by spark
from the chimney ignited the roof on
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w.
Conway in Askov Tuesday afternoon
between 4 and o'clock and caused
considerable damage both by the
blaze and water before it was extin-
guished.
Mrs. Conway was sitting at the
table near the window on the east
side of the house when she noticed
burning embers falling from the roof
to the porch. She quickly Investigated
and found that most of the Ouside of
the caves on that side were in flames.
She ran quickly to the telephone and
told the operator, Miss Ellen Sorensen,
to spread the alarm which was done
in an efficient and thorough manner.
After giving the alarm to the operator
Mrs. Conway ran to the neighbors,
told them and began carrying articles
from the house until more help ar
rived. Almost all of the rooms in
the house were stripped of their fur
nishings by the time the fire was
under control. Very efficient and
quick action on the part of the fire
fighters and those who volunteered to
carry out the furniture prevented a
great loss to the furniture and total
destruction of the house.
A thorough search in the attic re-
vealed no fire inside except what had
burned through the roof and rafters
and this gave rise to the supposition
that the fire started from the outside
supposedly by sparks on the dry shin
gles" With the help of several all the
furniture was carried back into the
house soon after the fire was extin-
guished.
The house, a two-story frame struc-
ture owned by Svend Petersen, will
need extensive repairs due to the dam
age done by the fire to the roof. inside
walls, plaster and paper. The loss
was covered by insurance.
