ARTIST COLONY AN INSPIRATION Traveler Comments On Mac- Dowell Colony "The MacDowell Colony at Peter- boro, New Hampshire, provides the most ideal condition for creative work that could possibly be devised," said Miss Eleanor Perkins, north shore resi- dent, who has recently returned from a motor trip through New England, during which she visited friends at the colony. The MacDowell colony, founded and maintained by the widow of the great American composer, provides a retreat for young artists where they can work and study undisturbed by the noise and bustle of the outside world and un- hampered by practical cares and worries which are often deadly to arRistic achievement. The North Shore Mac- Dowell society assists in this work. "In naming the assets of the place I think I should mention first of all its natural beauty," said Miss Perkins in describing the MacDowell colony and its work. "The colony is just outside one of those nestling villages in the New Hampshire hills. The country is rugged, and the air is tonic, scented with pines. The second asset is Mrs. MacDowell herself, who presides over the colony and provides ideal working conditions for a new group of young artists every year, assuming the entire financial responsibilities herself. She has no resources for the work except her unshakable determination that other artists shall not have to struggle against the same conditions of work that brought an untimely end to her husband's life and to his achievement in musical com- position. "The colony acres are composed partly of farm land and partly of wooded hills. There is a yellow colonial farm house where Mrs. MacDowell lives, which is the social mecca of the place, and all the distinguished people who visit the colony are entertained there. There is the lower colony house near there, which houses the newcomers, and about a mile away another farm house where the second-year women colonists live. A similar farm house accommo- dates the men. On the highest part of the hill is a great New Kngland barn which has been converted by white paint and: by white columns across the front into an imposing structure where all the colonists eat breakfast and dinner, THE E SPECIAL BARRY McCORMACK VANSTO A Limited Engagement CLYDE ELLIOTT offers THE EVANSTON PLAYERS SUPPORTING PRESENTING THE LATEST SUCCESSES NEW oN SPECIAL MARGERY WILLIAMS MATINEE-- "FAIR and Curtain Rises Mat.

"This composes all that is visible of the MacDowell colony, but if you are particularly invited and guided by a colonist, you can travel along various paths through dense woods and come upon a clearing where a studio has been built. There are about eighteen of these little buildings, all well de- signed but simple, all hidden and no ones goes to them except the artist to whom they are assigned, unless by special invitation. There are more colonists than studios and those who are not assigned to them; work in their rooms. "After breakfast each person dis- appears and is not supposed to be seen again until dinner time, A luncheon of fresh country milk and bread is left at the door of each studio at noon, so that there is no break in the atmos- phere of health and quiet and the sight of people around you absorbed in work- ing out some bit of painting or writ- atterwards, or ing or music, compels concentration and gives inspiration . "After the works of genius are brought to a stage where they need to be tried on an audience, the beauti- ful outdoor theater, cut out of a rocky hillside with a view across the pine- enclosed stage to Mount Monadnock on the other side of the valley, provides the necessary opportunity. The colonists pay enough money weekly to pay for their food, but the whole maintenance of the place has to be taken care of by Mrs. MacDowell. This is quite an item in itself, but more studios and living quarters must be built in order to meet the demands that are pouring in on her for admittance. She is eager to take advantage of every opportunity to give young artists the necessary start and she has passed her enthusiasm on to the many MacDowell societies that have been started throughout the country. "The North Shore MacDowell society was organized for the purpose of help- ing with this work." NEWELL & . "L" Station at Howard SUN. MON. TUES.
