young people Of teen age and
Under. throughout the United States.
are showing q greater enthusiasm
for music study this year than they
ever have before" according to Mrs.
Vincent Hilles ober, junior counselor
Of the National Federation Of Music
Clubs.
Mrs. Oher bases her statement on
the fact that although Junior con-
tests Of the federation have been
under way for only few months, they
have evoked nearly double the interest
of similar contests held last year.
Seven thousand bulletins announc-
ing the contests" she says, were sent
out in the Fall and the insistent de-
mand necessitated an immediate re-
print Of 1000. with inquiries flowing
in daily.
"To the contests have been added
this year contests in musicianship and
dancing, hymn playing and original
composition, and these, too, are
awakening widespread interest. with
enrolment from practically every
State In the Union.
Through the junior clubs" Mrs.
Ober says, thousands of children have
been modified to sing in hymn festi-
walls and massed choruses and to play
in orchestras. and thus, their innate
love Of music has been aroused and
encouraged. Although the primary in
terest Of our organization is in the
development Of a musically conscious
public and the fostering Of creative
talent, we also feel that this work
among the juniors has an important
moral aspect. Musical performance,
which properly employs leisure hours
is a sure means Of crime prevention.
Every year we sponsor contests in our
States in which about 1000 children
take part. These develop in the chill
dren a sense of craftsmanship"
THE introduction Of better music
and more of it into screen shorts
and news reels" was announced as one
of the coming years objectives Of
the federation by Mrs. E. H. Cahill,
national motion picture chairman Of
the organization. Motion picture pro-
ducers will be urged by the fedora
ton to pay special attention to this
phase Of production activities.
"Coincidentally with her announce
ment that music groups believe that
the average screen program would be
greatly enhanced by the presentation
Of at least one excellent musical short
during each performance, Mrs. Cahill
also revealed that musical films Of
genuine merit have no better pro-
noters than the 4,500 member organi-
cations Of the National Federation Of
Music Clubs.
when a film which achieves mu-
steal excellence is issued these units
swing into action. Behind the rig
orous program of promotion is the
conviction that the right type of mu-
sical films, with their appeal to the
eye as well as to the ear, constitute
one Of the most valuable forms Of mu-
sical education. for adults as well as
Sor young people.
Mrs. Cahill said that musical clubs
have developed distinct preferences
for certain types Of musical films.
They like pictures that feature both
good music and good voices and their
preference Is for two singing stars
rather than one. Nor do they hold
out for grand opera, believing that
operetta and musical romance are
both desirable for the screen, have
certain educational value, and, rightly
used, can be a pronounced factor in
developing musical taste"
