THE MacDOWELL COLONY FUND
There is no cause in music more worthy of support
Nobody in the American musical world needs to be told what the MacDowell Colony is or what it does. It is unique—in this country or any other. It affords each summer a place where a limited few who work in the Seven Arts can go and find, at moderate rates, seclusion for creative work. And the work that has come from the colonists in the sixteen years of its existence speaks for itself.
(Mrs. MacDowell, it must be emphasized, receives no personal advantage in any way from the Colony; on the contrary, she has herself made large contributions of land and money to it).
THE COLONY IS IN IMMEDIATE NEED OF FUNDS
Its income comes from a small endowment, from the dues of the Edward MacDowell Memorial Association, from voluntary contributions and from the earnings of Mrs. Edward MacDowell, who constantly travels about giving recitals of her late husband’s compositions.
This latter source of income has been cut off this season by the unfortunate accident of which Mrs. MacDowell was a victim early in January. She has been incapacitated from work ever since and in consequence
THE WORK OF THE COLONY THIS SUMMER IS ENDANGERED
At the suggestion of Joseph Regneas, a special fund was started to make up this unexpected deficit. The response has been generous, but in order to ensure the continuance in full of the Colony activities this summer
MORE MONEY IS NEEDED AT ONCE

Alberti, Composer and Coach
Two new songs of Sol Alberti’s are being usedvery extensively by a number of artists. Renato Zanelli is singing The Hour on all his recital programs, and Evelyn Scotney sang Trees on her entire concert tour to the Pacific Coast and back, the song receiving some very fine newspaper notices. Grace Wagner, Thomas Fuson, Thomas MacGrana-han, and other artists are also using these songs. They are published by Carl Fischer.
Mr. Alberti, as usual, is very busy accompanying artists, besides his regular teaching. On March 17 he was accompanist for Cyrena van Gordon and Raoul Vidas at Atlantic City, and on the evening of March 18 he played two programs—the first for Father Bracken in Brooklyn, and after finishing there he hurried back to Manhattan to play for Renato Zanelli at the Lambs’ Club.
