MASSACHUSETTS VOTE
UNDER NEW PLAN LIGHT
Little Interest Shown in Election
for Parties Pre-Primary
Conventions.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 25.-Massachusetts
yesterday chose delegates to Demo-
cratic and Republican pre-primary
conventions in an election in which
the voters as a whole showed little
interest
The election was the first under the
pre-primary system Of indorsing can
didates for State Office in party con-
vention to be held prior to the regu-
lar primary. Lack of contests among
the delegate candidates, who were
compelled to run unpledged to any
candidates for State Office, did much
to detract from the interest.
The Democrats had 811 convention
seats to fill and the Republicans 73l,
but many of them went vacant with
the absence Of candidates in rural
communities.
In Springfield the vote was per
cent of the registered vote, and in
Worcester. per cent. The cost of
the election, despite the lethargy. was
estimated to run into hundreds Of
thousands of dollars.

PRIZES AWARDED IN
ORCHESTRA CONTEST
Presentations Made by Conductor
Kinder at Arts Club
Yesterday.

Eight boys and two girls yesterday
were awarded prizes by Hans Kinder,
conductor of the National Symphony
Orchestra, as winners in the orches-
tra's music memory contest held in
connection with the orchestra's stu
dents series of concerts during the
past year. They were the students
of Washington schools who recognized
excerpts Of compositions played at
the final students concert, which
were taken from complete works
played at previous concerts during
the season. It Is perhaps interesting
to note that despite the generally ac-
cepted idea that interest in music and
proficiency in 1t among young peo-
pie Is more general among girls
than boys, the prize winners are
largely boys.
The presentations. made by Con-
ductor Kinder at the Arts Club yes
terday. were to the following:
First prize. Benjamin Levenson, II
years old, SGT Decatur street north
west, second year, Roosevelt High,
gold medal. He was the only con-
testant to submit perfect paper.
Second prize. Walter Swank, IS
years old, 1400 Fairmont street north
west, Central High. bronze medal.
Five students tied for third place
and received either season tickets for
next year, books or merchandise from
the Homer L. Kilt Co. They were

The feature OF this seventh Dlen-
nial convention is the celebration of
the golden jubilee of the dean of
American woman composers, Mrs. H.
H. A. Beach. Showing an unusual
talent for music at the age OF 5
years, Mrs. Beach soon after began to
attract attention with her first COM
positions as we'll as her precocious
pianistic ability. During the so years
of her life before the public she has
appeared in all the musical centers of
this country and Europe, winning an
unique place as Americas greatest
woman pianist. Her contributions to
musical literature, which cover every
department of music, have been ac-
claimed over the entire world and
have never been equaled by any
American woman composer who has
followed in the way she has opened
up. Unfailing inspiration of rich va
riety marks her songs, piano compost
tions, violin and piano sonata and
quartets, as we'll as depth OF thought
and poetic conception. She has never
sacrificed her high standard in order
to gain. more public acclaim.
Last evening three groups of her
compositions were given. Two songs,
Mirage" and Rendezvous for voice,
violin, cello and piano were sung by
Ruth Shaffner, accompanied by Eve
lyn Scott, violinist; Mabel Duncan,
cellist, with Mrs. Beach at the piano.
These numbers we're also on the pro-
gram of the musicale given in the
east room of the White House Mon
day afternoon, when a reception was
given Mrs. Beach and the League of
American Pen Women by Mrs. Roose-
welt.
A second group comprised several
of the favorite songs that are in
cluded in every singers repertoire and
which have added to the composer S
fame. Mine Be the Lips" Ecstasy,
"The Moon Path and "Ah, Love,
But a Day" with the popular "The
Years at the Spring." as encore
brought thunderous applause from a
large audience gathered to honor the
composer.

vocal endowments and fine artistic

as we had been taught to do for two
weeks by Mr.. Arliss, going from
scene to scene as you would in a
play, but not stopping, of course,
for intermissions. In that way we
got clear picture of the whole
and were able sanely and intelli-
gently to dissect our various roles
and to see how they fitted into the
eventual panorama.
After that was done-and Mr.
Arliss does this for all his pictures

directed the picture as picture. But
