NOBLE HERE

Probably the happiest Shriner
In washington is Col. William H
Woodfield, jr.-better known as
"Bill'-of San Francisco, past
potentate of Islam Temple.
For Bill can really enjoy this
convention, a thing he could not
do when the annual gathering OF
the Mobiles was held in San Fran
cisco in 1882.
Bill was director general of that
convention, and with the task OF
seeing that more than 100000
Shriners and other visitors we're
entertained, he really didn't have
time to enjoy himself.
Now, however, he has no cares
and is out to enjoy the conven.
ton.
Colonel Woodfield-he was aide
to the late Gov. Sunny JIM
Rolph of California-has been
nominated as the Vests candidate
for the post of Imperial Outer
Guard.
One of the most famous of Cali
fornia's hosts, he was named by
Governor Rolph to greet all dis
tinguished visitors on their arrival

Oft-Repeated

Midsummer Nights Dire q m
Overture" is the first of group
of works by F. Mendelssohn that
will be included in the series Of
Music Everyone Should Know"
The theme shown above is short
and fast, but those two measures
are played in whole or in part
over fifty times in this overture,
in various stages of development.
To understand the effect the
composer was striving for, it is
necessary to recall the scenes and
characters of Shakespeare's COM
edy. The overture gives foretaste
in a jumbled dream picture of
what is to happen in the comedy.
The dreamer sees in imagination
a woods near Athens, Greece,
where fairies appear with Titania
their queen, and Oberon the king.
AS the fairies dance, two young
couples, apparently lovers, appear
and in turn the tradesmen who
are rehearsing for a play. One of
the tradesmen, Bottom, is given
an ASS head instead of his own
by the fairy clown Puck.
The overture opens with four
soft chords played by the wood
winds as if issuing from the secret
places of the woods; the fairies
appear, the theme is taken up by
the violins and the fairies dance
softly; there is a delicacy, a
gaiety, an elfin quality to the
music which emits the perfume
of flowers and the rhythm of tiny
dancing feet among the grass
blades. Suddenly the whole or,
chestra burst forth with a fuller
development of the fairy music.
The fairy music is interrupted
to introduce the Bergomask dance
which is brought to a close by the
brasSes initiating the braying of
Bottom. A passage for the cellos
suggested to the composer by the
buzzing of flies in the garden
where he was working is next
heard. The overture continues to
the end in the development of
the material already introduced,
ever keeping the dainty witchery
