By ALICE EVERSMAN,

The works of American compos-
ers are in the minority of the rec
ords made by the phonograph COM
panies, only occasionally something
by one of the prominent new writ
ers being given out to the public.
1t will therefore interest many to
know that this month the Colum-
bia Recording Corp. releases Mac
Dowell's Suite No. 2. op. 49," known
as the Indian Suite and here
played by the Columbia Broadcast
ing Symphony, directed by Howard
Barlow.
This great American composer was
the first to draw the attention of
Europe to music of this country and
by his talent as well as his thorough
musical knowledge did much to
make the American musician rank
with the best of the old world. It
is no wonder that he turned to the
fascinating music Of the North
American Indian for inspiration and
having written The Indian Suite"
brought it to Germany. to Brett
kopf and Haertel for publication. 1t
had its first performance, however,
a year previously by the Boston
Symphony in New York concert.
The different movements of the
suite are entitled: Legend" Love
Song lin War Time" "Dirge" and
Village Festival" The character of
the whole is set at once by the i'm
pressive introduction which seems to
give the complete picture of the
grim and fatahstic nature of the
Indian. But later the composer al
lows free rein to his great gift of
melody although giving it ever the
true Indian tinge Such a passage
occurs on the reverse side of the
first disc, with the beginning of the
Love Song" sometimes exquisitely
plaintive and again of great dra-
matte value.
Representing a mothers lament
for the loss of her son, the ''Dirge"
is supremely beautiful, barren of any
ostentation, but poignant in its
simplicity. In contrast to these two
melodic movements is the fiery IN
War Time" most popular excerpt Of
the Suite, and the varigated Village
Festival" which harks back to the
themes of the first movement and
plays them up in gayer strain. The
entire work is admirably performed
under Mr.. Barlow's sympathetic di-
