Reviving the Frontier Days of the West 'Brohoo Bustiks a Will RO©ERS Calgary's annual "stampede" in the foothills of the ^ Canadian Rockies has for years past intrigued fetich famous artists as the late Charles Russell, and • long list of other artists, editors, cowboys, as well as sfrontiers-men like Col. John s. Dennis, who commanded the Dennis Scouts during the Riel Rebellion. This big show where the last great west rubs shoulders with the effete east, will be staged in Calgary July 11-16. The greatest of its kind in North America it has among its patrons the Prince of Wales, whose E-P Ranch is near at hand, and the Governor-General of Canada. This year Pawnee Bill (Major Gordon W. Lillie), Will Rogers, famous cowboy humorist and Edward F. Albee, president of the Keith-Albee Circuit, have donated trophies for the various events through Guy Weadick, originator of the Stampede and Stampede manager. The Stampede starts the first day with the interesting and colorful march through the streets of Calgary. Miles long the parade includes hundreds of Pavwbe Bju' Indians in full war regalia, old timers of the prairie* with their Red River carts, veterans of the famous Royal North West Mounted Police (now Royal Canadian Mounted Police), cowboys and cowgirls, chuck-wagon outfits with all manner of wild animals as mascots. The regular "Stampede" program, run off daily under the direction of Gup Weadick, will include bronco-busting competitions, steer-riding, cow roping, Roman standing races, chuck-wagon races and Indian races, in which squaw and buck ride as if for their lives. The Indian village in Victoria with its gaily painted tepees is colorful and interesting and there are a score of other attractions different in every respect to anything seen anywhere in Canada--one of these attractions needed 60 Canadian Pacific cai-s to transport it last year. _ Calgary's annual stampede has bec^ rightly described as "a living page from the history of the brava days of the frontier." Cultural Wealth Revived I>y all accounts the Canadian Folksong and Handi-*-* craft Festival held at the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, under the auspices of the National Mi of Canada was an unqualified success. More than any previous event which had to do with French-Canadian folk music it has brought to public notice the rich heritage of native song in Canada. Not merely did the concerts prove magnetic, but the general atmosphere of the Festival brought forth something dormant, a wealth of national culture that has been buried, under the oppressive weight of materialism. Quebec during the three days of the Festival was invaded by- artists from all parts of Canada -- celebrated singers from the large cities and the most humble, though not the least interesting, interpreters of the Canadian folksong from the outlying districts. The Festival, looked upon as a whole, has brought foi th artists and material never suspected. The celebrated men and women were applauded but those unknown quantities like the village songsters and dancers, and the Hurons of Lorette, supplied that unusual atmosphere of novelty and attraction that characterized the Festival. Vincent Ferrier de Repentigny and the lumberjacks in their checked shirts and grey breeches; Phileas Bedard with his homespun clothes and his beaming smile; the fisherfolk from Gaspe; Madame Leblond and her daughters with their spinning wheels and hooked rugs; Napoleon Leblond from the Isle of Orlear.s with his toy ships carved by hand; the wor from L'Assomption braiding the Canadian sash almost a lost art -- and in contrast with these the superb singing of cultivated artists, Cedia Brault, Juliette Gaultier, Jeanne Dusseau, J. Campbell Mc-Innes and Rodolphe Plamondon. Nothing more thoroughly Canadian can be imagined than the rollicking songs of the lumberjacks and raftsmen of Quebec by Charles Marchand and his "Troubadours." And it looks as if the Festival will become an annual event. At the close of the last concert in Quebec, it was announced that not only would the Festival be held next year, but that E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, had offered $3,000 in prizes for compositions to be played the 1928 Festival. The compositions to be based French-Canadian chansons and folk melodies, for which prizes are offered as follows: 1.--$1,000, divided into $750 and $250 as first and second prizes, for instruments, and not to last over 30 minutes. . 1,000, divided into $750.00 and $250.00 as first and second prizes, for a cantanta introducing French-Canadian chansons populaires: the $750 to be divided; $500 for music and $250 for libretto; the $250 to be divided: $150 for music and $100 for libretto. 3. --$500 for suite for string quartet, not to last over twenty minutes. 4. --$250 for group of arrangements of four chansons populaires for male voices. 5. --$250 for group of arrangements of four chansons populaires for mixed voices. The last two (4 and 5) are confined to Canadian composers. The others are open to international competition. * Judges and details will be announced as soon as possible, through the musical press.
