The musical portrait by COPELAND
written at Mr.. Kostelanetz's sugges-
ton. took on a special significance
when played at the foot of the Lin

of the work Is the introduction

gentleness and sympathy From
then on the text, taken from letters
and speeches OF Lincoln, dominate
the picture. The text was read by
William Adam whose expressive
voice stressed the nobility Of the
thoughts expressed.
Each excerpt chosen was preceded
by q few phrases describing Lincoln
in such a manner that the words
were linked to the man himself and
the figure of the great emancipator
seemed to stand beside that OF the
speaker. The selected portions from
his writings were so appropriate to
the present war situation that they
stuck home with telling effect. The
music was limited to short phrases
as a finish to each excerpt and only
reached wealth of sound at the
conclusion of bits from the Gettys-
burg address.
Immediately following the Ma
rine and Army buglers took their
place on each side of the stage and
played the call that Is the intro

music has a fine swing to it and the
words, written by Mrs. Townsend S
daughter Yvonne, are equally in
spring.
Tremendous applause greeted Miss
Pons' performance which followed
after two arias, the "Regnava mel
