tinued her musical philanthropies in
the line of chamber music on the site

The plans for these Summer activ-
tiles have been formed by far-seeing
people, who realize the value of CIV
ing good music the year around. The
Summer-concert idea has grown with
amazing rapidity and it will not be
long before every large city will f1nd
an enticing outdoor site for orchestra
or festival concerts. The beginning
was the work of a few, but each year
others are added who wish to provide
cultural opportunities during the on
season. But no matter how enter.
prising these music lovers might be,
their projects would be doomed to
failure if there were no response from
the layman. From the enormous Sum-

GREETED as Is Ossip Gabrilovitsch,
whose death occurred this week. The
memory Of great performances re-
mains. but rarely does that memory
emphasize the wonder Of beauty and
poetry as does the remembrance Of
Gabrilovitschs ant. In particu-
larly individual way he seemed to
have captured the very essence Of
loveliness and specially trained him.
self to give it out again for the en-
joyment of lesser-gifted mortak. He
saw deep into the heart Of music and
sensed with rare acuteness its spirit
ual leading and its glorification Of
earthly poesy. Not only did he per-
feet the material medium of repro
duction, but he understood the exact
color of the tonal scale, by which to
express the deep, underlying current
of beauty and thought which he saw
with such understanding clairvoyance.
His last appearance here with AL
bert Spalding was unforgettable, al
though he was but part Of the
sonata program. The musical world
has lost more than great artist in
the death of Gabrilovitsch. for the
warmth and sympathy which per-
meated his music lifted him into the
slender ranks Of great souls, OF which
even the music world can boast Of few
worthy of that designation.
