GAY NINETIES PRIZETO THE R. B. BARBOURS

Winter Parkers outdid themselvesTuesday evening' to make the GayNineties party an event so popularthat people will hope to make it anannual affair. Attics and store-rooms were ransacked for costumesof the period, and it seemed almostimpossible to choose from theamazing array in the grand marchthe winner of the prize. Mr. andMrs. R. B. Barbour finally emergedthe victors, dressed with authen-ticity, Mr. Barbour in a well fittingPrince Albert and trimmed withsideburns and mustache, Mrs. Bar-bour in a dress of her own fromthe Gay Nineties, a flowered cre-ation with high velvet collar, herhair done high adorned with roses.

Mr, and Mrs. Francis 0. Ayers,and their party won a special groupprize. With them were Miss VeraAyers, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McKiriley,Mrs. Edith Tadd Little, Mr. andMrs. John Forsythe Little. This in-trepid group of motorists just man-aged to get to the party on time,their Stanley Steamer having givenout down on Interlachen Ave. Ef-fectively protected from the ele-ments with voluminous linen dust-ers, goggles, gauntlets and veils,they arrived still carrying theirfaithful can of Carbi.de, an oil canand a rope!

IMPRESSIONS OF THE BACH FESTIVALThe sensitiveness of the public to

great art is one of the most grati-fying satisfactions we have as hu-mans. As Emerson observed, weare all quite capable of approvingthe speeches that Shakespeare putsinto the mouths of his characters.At the Bach Festival last week therewere moments when the audiencehad completely fallen under thespell of the wonderfully expressivemusic. There was a universal ap-peal in it that removed all the pet-ty barriers of a, heterogeneous au-dience and stirred the fundamentalemotion of sympathy.• It is hardly to be expected thateveryone will at once enjoy Bachbecause we Have established a Fes-tival here in Winter Park. But noone needs to feel that Bach is be-yond his comprehension and enjoy-ment. There are none who wouldnqt'thrill at the sight of the beau-tiful Rheims Cathedral althoughthey .may know nothing of Gothicarchitecture, and they would muchprefer to look at it than at one ofthe very ordinary and undisting-uished churches we are used to.Appreciation for the finer thingsin life is in all of us in varying de-grees and if we do not yet appre-ciate Bach's nmsic we. should seekto find the reason why it is con-sidered the very highest expressionof musical art.

Read the opinions of two of thegreatest musicians. Brahms, whoseSymphonies have become lovedequally with Beethoven's, said thatthe two greatest events of his life-time were the founding of the Ger-man Empire and the publication ofthe complete works of Bach aftera century of neglect. Richard

Wagner, whose music is still oneof the chief reasons for hope in theGerman culture, said; "If we wouldcomprehend the wonderful original-ity, strength and significance of theGerman mind in one incomparablyeloquent image, we must look keen-ly and discerningly at the appear-ance, otherwise almost inexplicab-ly mysterious, of the musical mar-

SUBCONSCIOUS ART ATTHE RESEARCH STUDIOAt the attractive galleries of the

Research Studio, in Maitland, thereare being exhibited a collection ofwatercolors that are among thestrangest manifestations that pres-ent-day art has yet produced. Theyare the work of Andre Smith andare presented under the generaltitle of "Subconscious Transcrip-tions". In a Foreword to the ex-hibition Mr. Smith says:

"You will either like these pic-tures or you won't. I have watchedwith considerable interest the re- ,action of people looking at thesesubconscious transcriptions ofmine for the first time, and I couldtell very quickly whether they wereinterested or not; They usuallystart by being amused; and thenthey split into two factions: thosewho are clearly and even deeplyimpressed by the spiritual messagethat these documents offer them,and those who are offended and areindignant at the bitterness of apresentation.of life in terms of somuch mockery. All of whichleaves me quite unmoved. And Iam unmoved because I know thesedrawings were done in a mood ofstrict neutrality, that is, devoid ofpersonal feeling. And yet they are,of course, highly personal in adeeper sense in that they have is-;sued from me, or out of the sub-conscious me, and are compoundedof that strange deposit of mentalconglomeration which all of us col-lect subconsciously in the processof living. It is their reappearancein this graphic and often amazing •manner that is worth considering, •'for you as well as for me. And it

SUBCONSCIOUS ART(Continued from Page 1)

is obvious that these pictures havebeen created in a language of sym-bols. And they are my symbols.But they may be yours also. Ifthey are, you will understand thesedrawings, and even enjoy them.But if they arc not, then you willnot understand them at all; andyou will, no doubt, leave this exhi-bition in a state of smoldering1 in-dignation, doubting my sincerity,and assuring yourself that "Lifewas never like this."

Referring to the manner in whichthese drawings were made, Mr.Smith explained the process oftranscription in this way: "Start-ing with a clean sheet of paper, anopen mind (or should, I call it anempty one?) and the merest flashof an idea or a "vision", I have,bit by bit covered the surface ofthese papers with drawings thathave turned out to be as surpris-ing to me as to any other observ-er."

Nevertheless these are elaborate-ly composed pictures, and asidefrom the appeal of good color andcareful draughtsmanship, and inspite of their provocative nature,are. without doubt a valuable con-tribution not only to the documentsof present-day art but also to therecords of psychology which maynote in graphic illustration thestrange structure of an imagina-tive mind. The exhibition will con-tinue until the 16th of March, andis well worth a careful examina-tion.

GAY NINETIES(Continued from Page 1)

Mrs. Gregg was dressed in black,with off-the-shoulder neck line, herbecoming hat tied with red ribbonsunder the chin.

The program for the eveningwas directed by Helen Rae whopresented a group of coy youngmaidens and gay young blades, be-comingly costumed, in songs,dances and living pictures.. Wal-ter Royall and Marcelle Ham-mond "rendered", as duets, "JustTell Them That You Saw Me" and"She's Just Like a Rose With aBroken Stem". The dancers whodid jiistice to tho Polka, Waltz andThe Lancers were Erika Heyder,Marcelle Hammond, Daphne Taka-sche, Sylvia Haimowitz, WilliamVosburgh, Dante Bergonzi, ArthurBifield and Jack Rae. One of thehits of the evening was the Cake-Walk danced by couples from theHungerford school.

The success of the party waslargely due to the number ofguests who came garbed in thespirit of the '90s. It was theywho lent an air of "genteel ele-gance" and carried us all back tothose saner (?) gas-lit clays. In-cluded in this well-dressed groupwere Prof. Buel Trowbridge, Mrs.Alexander Bloch, Martha Bloch,Miss Mary Leonard Mr. and Mrs.

Arnold Kvam, Mrs. HarrisonPlympton, Miss Loretta Salmon,Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Harris, Mrs.E. S. Fownes, and Prof. B. R. A.Seligman. For next year we wouldlike to put in our vote for a pro-gram of waltzes and two stepsplayed by the string orchestra, tofinish off the evening with real old-fashioned grace, instead of break-ing the spell with modern dancemusic.

WILLIAM THE SILENTPRINCE OF ORANGEBy Rev. J. B. Thomas

(Editor's Note: The concludinginstallment of Dr. Thomas' storywith its reference to the building ofthe original All Saints Church isespecially pertinent at this timewhen the congregation is planningto build a new edifice.)

The first cost of building AllSaints' Mission was between fourand five thousand dollars. Peopletravelled over miles of sand to seeand admire this cheerful specimenof French Peasant Gothic. Mr.Comstock was among the chiefcontributors—as also to the rectoryon Lyman Avenue. He was thelargest contributor to the HarriettStreet Switzer Memorial ParishHouse. He gave $2500 toward theCortland Avenue rectory the yearof his death.

I asked permission to name it theW. C. Comstock Memorial rectory,

"Leave my name out -of it, butyou may call it the Eleora Com-stock Memorial if you wish," heanswered.

When Helen Morse's, (Mrs.Charles H.) bequest of the presentrectory was received, the EleoraComstock rectory was sold to payoff.the mortgage. Here two quota-tions from Bishop Mann's diary fitin:

"Feb. 12,1920. In the afternoon,drove to "Whiter Park and called onMr. W. C. Comstock. Came home•grateful and happy with his sub-scription of $5,000 to the SouthFlorida Endowment fund. It "wasmade most freely arid cordially."!

"March 12, (an even month later)Had a call (at Orlando's Bishop-stead) from Mrs. Charles H. Morseof Winter Park who left a subscrip-tion for $2,000. It was spontaneousand not called for by any eloquenceof mine."

Enough to make any Bishop's,Priest's or College President'smouth water isn't it?

In conclusion, a few personalreminiscences:

One morning I had a call fromMr. E. Brewer. He told me, "Doc-tor, I have just sent Mr. Caldwell,(Treasurer of All Saints) mycheck for $200."

"Many thanks Mr. Brewer.""Thank Comstock rather. I asked

him for $100 for the Congregation-al Church saying I would do thesame for his church. 'No, butmake it $200 and I'll say yes', hesaid."

Mr. Brewer laughed and so didI. Just another of Comstock'slittle jokes. A few days ago Imade one of my rare calls. Icalled on the Reverend Henry B,Mowbray, recently retired Congre-gational minister.. I was especiallyeager to meet him for Mrs. Ward

WINTER PARK TOPICS, SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1939

had told me he had been organistof the All Saints Mission quartettechoir. I gleaned that Mr. Mow-bray must have been a Rollins stu-dent at the time. He succeededMiss May Jolly, a student in theMusic Department who died in hex-youth.

He enjoyed his reminiscences.The three dollars per week salarycontributed directly by Mr. Com-stock had seemed like big money.Tne choir rehearsals were held atMr. Comstock's home and werepreceded by a dinner which was adecided change from the Beaneryfare. Vintage wines, some person-ally imported, were served. Mr.Mowbray of Rollins was a teetolerand withstood temptation: Mrs.Comstock sent Mother Mowbray abottle of Lachrymae Christi winefor "medicinal purposes" for shethought Mrs. M. was looking rath-er tired.

I asked about the music. "Theysang difficult music easily, includ-ing many things from "The ParishChoir", a Festival Te Deum of Dud-ley Buck's. Dr. Egar (can anyreader supply the initials?) wasnot only an excellent tenor but anoriginal composer. He wrote a TeDeum especially for Mrs. Switzer'shigh lyric soprano. Mr. and Mrs.Comstock sang the bass and altorespectively. :

The reed organ stood on the floorof the nave opposite the site of thepresent oi'gan. The quartette wasnot vested and there was no pro-cession.

I remember a choir rehearsal ofmy early days. Vanetta Mussle-white was trying to quiet a buzz ofgossip which was all about the an-nounced engagement of an elderlycouple. One young woman wassaying, "No fool like an old fool".Looking up she caught my disap-proving eye. Rebuked, she said,"I beg your pardon, Dr. Thomas,I'll not tell on you—".

Before the chancel was built outto include the choir, there was aneffective auxiliary in the front pew.There sat Col. and Mrs. Dick andto their right W. C. Comstock.Here were a past mistress and pastmaster of choristry—a lyric so-prano and a basso prof undo. I am

That same winter Mr. Comstockgave a dinner for the new priest-in-eharge, his wife and their house-guest, Miss Louise Burdie ofSyracuse, N. Y., Cousin Louise. TheReverend Dr. McMillan of Chicagowas Mr. Comstock's houseguest.The famous one among the guestswas Edwin Markham.

I had the unusual experience ofsitting at the right of my invisiblehostess—the seat of honor. Afterher death, her place was alwaysset at table. I was asked by (namedeleted) how we had appreciatedthe foreign wines, after havinglived abroad. No wines had beenserved. Nobody had missed them,for Edwin Markham had recitedsome California vintage poems.Yes, you have guessed it—He in-cluded "Abraham Lincoln", and the"Man with the Hoe".

BACH FESTIVAL(Contimied from Page 1)

yel, Johan Sebastian Bach . . . itis impossible to characterize by anycomparison whatever the wealth,grandeur and all-embracing signi-ficance of his works."

It is through the manner andspirit of the performance of Bach'smusic that we are able to derivethe priceless benefit of its spiritualuplift. Where the director andperformers are sincere and conse-crated to their task, as they wereat Knowles Memorial Chapel, it ispossible to penetrate to the emo-tional world of Bach and expressmovingly the religious devotionthat vitalizes his art. ProfessorHonaas achieved this ideal to ahigh degree with his chorus espe-cially at the final recital. He hadtrained his singers to a wonderfulresponsiveness and they gave himthe whole gamut of dynamics. Un-der his finely balanced leadershiptheir full volume was never harsheven in tremendous climaxes. Thetimbre of tone was as sensitive asthat of a soloist, some of their besteffects achieved in the changes ofnuance, often shading down to awhisper, and yet a whisper thathad tone to it. This chorus wasconvincingly earnest in its variedroles, now as mourners, as a rabidmob, as questioning disciples, asdeeply moved watchers of theLord's Passion.

A devotional sincerity also char-acterized the soloists. The heavierrole was taken by Arthur Kraft,tenor, who as the Evangelist sangmost of the descriptive recitativesas well as his arias. Mr. Kraft isa master of musical declamation.There was never any occasion forlooking at the program to find outwhat his words were. In the manyhigh passages that would havespelled disaster for most tenors hisvoice lost none of its smooth tonequality and his command of longdifficult phrases was a delight.One of the most dramatic momentswas his recital of Peter's bitterweeping when he heard the cockcrow thrice.

Jeannette Vreeland, soprano, andLillian Knowles, contralto, showedfine musicianship and gave sympa-thetic treatment to the many beau-tiful numbers assigned to them.David Blair McGlosky, baritoneproved a very acceptable successorto Fritz Lechner, of last year's Fes-

tival, and sang his role of Jesuswith dignity if at times with aheavier timbre than one naturallyassociates with the character, of the •Master Jesus. Mac Morgan, bari-tone, a pupil of Mr. Kraft againdelighted the many admirers hewon last year, and sang his ariaswith a moving beauty of tone.

Margaret Sittig, violinist, andArnold Kvam, cellist, added muchto the Festival with exquisitelyplayed obligatos. The recitativeswere well executed on the piano byHelen Neilly. Herman Siewertplayed the accompaniments on theorgan with masterly execution andeffective registration affording amost satisfying orchestral back-ground. Mrs. Emelie Doughertyassisted him in the Cantata No. 150.

One of the most appreciatedparts of the Festival was the sing-ing of the Apollo Boys Choir ofBirmingham under the direction ofGoleman Cooper. Their sweet,sympathetic voices from the trifor-ium gave a spiritual effect in the

Chorales that was most impressive.The Festival Committee has set

a high ideal and already has gonefar in realizing it. As. each yearhas seen improvement, so it ishoped to eventually make every de-tail of the Festival combine in amoving1 and helpful revelation ofBach's priceless gift to humanity.
