Frank W. Ambler, president of the society, read a message to the society describing the ideal of Peterboro col- ony as dreamed by MacDowell and later brought into being by his wife, and formulating the purpose of the MacDowell societies in their support of the colony. Mr. Pease, who was accompanied by Miss Electra Austin at the piano gave very beautifully a portrayal of cre- ative work in America by poets as well as musicians. For his first group of songs all had words by well known American or English poets. His en- nunciation combined with the power and beauty of his voice made them a delight to his atidience. Particularly beautiful were "My True Love Lies Asleep," by Lisette Reese with music by Eugene Murdock, "Trade Winds," by Masefield with music by Frederick Keel, and "Sunset" by Sidney Lanier with music by Dudley Buck. Mr. Pease also gave songs in Scotch and Dorsetshire dialects. Miss Austin finished this splendid musical program by playing the C Major Rhapsody by Dohnanyi and a Brahms waltz. The North Shore MacDowell so- ciety is a vital and growing organi- zation and an exponent of the interest which America is beginning to take in her creative artists. A telephone and electrical equipment manufacturing plant at Hawthorne, re- garded as one of the state's largest plants, consumes enough gas monthly to fuel a city the size of Rockford.
