The seventeenth annual South Atlan.
tic States Musical Festival will take
place ou Wednesday. Thursday and
T'irday. April 26th, I'Tth and 28th, 1911,
and will include five concerts, on Wed
nesday. Thursday and l-Yiday evenings,
and Thursday and Friday afternoons.
For seventeen years, this annual event
has exerted a powerful influence ou
ihc edacational life of the South. In
programs, arti.sts and standards of
poilotmance. it has f-iideavored to
build on a truly artistic foundation,
and lias risen to greater heights each
>ear. until now it stands- acknowledged
to be one of the few great musical
events of the country.
i'xu- the comi)ig festival soloists have
been ^'imaged at an expense far be
yond lhai of previous years, gome
idea of the purpose of the manage-
! ment to make this festival the be&t
in the South can be gained from the
I fact that the cost of Artists’ Night
alone is as grcHi as the cost of the
«iitire festival seven years ago. Two
amstsf who have no superiors will
appear on Friday night, and the solo*
i^t^' for the other concerts are the
best that can be secured.

I regardeti a,':; no more important rela-

step farther, no more important rela
tively than that of any of the mechan

■ This estimate is not adequate. Wo

world’s best music. Her power and
'idue as an insidrational force are |
great and widely acknowledged. It i.s j
irconceivaide that music, in any of its!

The years have wrought their mir
acle: .\merica is one.
The dream of Lee and Lincoln, out
of light and shadow spun.
Ha.se come to long fulfillment, and
their &hining task is done.
Our dead are not forgotten; w^e keep
vigil o’er their dust;
We sing- their dec Is in deathless song,
w’e hold their fame a trust
’Till time, the judge shall render them
a judgment that is just.
But America, our mother of the sor
row-chastened soul
Has- called, and we are coming from
the years of bitter dole,
“Forgiving and forgiven,” writ across
the darkened scroll.
And to the field of battle, where the
Light and Night oppose,
Where Right and Wrong are marshall
ing their lines of ancient foes,
We follow" where Americas out-
streamnig banner goes.
And coming to the ‘star-s-trow'n flag this
hymn of war we sing:
The sw’ord of l.ee to battle for Ameri-
ca we bring.
And Jackson's rankers answer wh?re
her far-blown bugles ring,
.And when upon that battlefield the
victory is thine.
When high above the death of Wrong
thy blazoned stars shall s-hine.
Look th.ou for Us, America, along the
foremost line.

finds satisfaction in music. He him

moods in mu.sical matters. He will

good tune today; tomorrow he will

know s woman w be faithful to this all
as to all of her ideals, limited only by
oplKu tunity in her demands upon the
haimonious an dthe beautiful.
"In lace of evidence tliat is palpable
and indisptitable, it requires no great
I elTort to see and to admit that woman
i i-^ to a large degree the inspiration of
all mu.sical effort. But it will not do
to leave the matter here. It would
be offering but scant justice to woman,
even \vhen all this has been said, if
recognition of the one part she plays
in music that transcends all others
all otljers should be withheld. AVhen
all the aids to harmonious action are
assembled and blended, when man and
mechanism have done their part in the
lullest, then, in swell or cadence, we
look to the voice of woman for the
supreme tcnich—for the final expres
sion—for tenderness, grace and charm
—and never in vain. For ordinary
musical pre-eminence, as that of the
great organizers and conductors, per
haps even of the greai composers and
instrumentalists, the places go as a
matter of course to- men; yet in the
realm of the extraordiniary, we must
yet look to the prlma donna, the voice
of woman, for that clear soprano which
by its very nature highest of all.

blank ballot resulted in the election
of Thomas Jeffereon as third presi

The second act, as well as the
third, takes place in Washington, in
the white house, or, as it was then
called ( the pnssident's mansion. The
third act plays around the first state
dinner in the white house, when
Thomas JefDerson gave that memor

There is much comedy in *this act,
