 New York City, March 3O.-Mu- sic Week activities of the National Federation of Music Clubs will gain at least one new impetus this year. Sponsorship of a Music Film Festi- val in each of the several hundred communities in which there are To- cal music clubs is being urged by Mrs. E. H. Cahill of this city, chair man of Motion Picture Music for the Federation. "At least one good musical film in each community-if possible one new musical and one revival" is Mrs. Cahills slogan for the small and medium-size cities For the larger cities she is urging that every theater feature at least one musical film.
 Mrs. Cahill is working out her project in collaboration with Mrs Grace Widney Mabee of Los An- geles, chairman of Civic Music for the Federation, who annually plans the National Music Week programs of the Federation. Full details of the 1899 program are yet to be announced, but it will include for ums to evaluate community re- sources, as 1t has in previous years, and music club sponsored concerts featuring American compositions and Amsrican artists, policy with which sponsorship of film musicals is di- rectly in line.
 The National Federation of Mu- sic Clubs was the first large na- tional organization to place the seal of it's approval upon the efforts of film producers to introduce more music into pictures and gave it's enthusiastic endorsement to the first film musical, in which Grace Moore was starred. Its representatives eyaluate all musical films and when ever the product merits urge that the music clubs sponsor tkeir local premieres. In many instances this has worked out in the various con- munities into a collaboration be- tween the clubs and local theater managers, so that rival attractions of similar character are avoided when an important film musical is being shown and that takes first plsce among film events of the week.
 Activities of the Motion Picture Music Committee have been further extended this year by urging the presentation of a musical film in at lesSt one local theater in each con- veution city during State Conven- ticn Week. and also arrangement of special showing of some su- perior musical film under Feder- alton auspices as definite feature of each State Convention program.
