The Third Bach Festival of Winter Park marked a great step forward in musical ai't for Florida.
For the first time in its history a
performance of one of the world's
greatest choral masterpieces, "The
Passion According to St. Mathew"
was given in its entirety with an
adequate, well-trained chorus and
soloists that could not be surpassed
in the singing' of Bach's music even
at the famous Bethlehem Bach
Festival or in the two great musical centers of New York and Boston, The inspired leadership of
the talented young director, Christopher 0 . Honaas, and the accompaniment of the scholarly and technically brilliant organist, Herman
F. Siewert, were the twin pillars
on which this noble musical monument was erected.
While no more beautiful setting
for the Bach Festival could be imagined than the Knowles Memorial Chapel with its lofty nave and
devotional atmosphere, the performances were given with the utmost simplicity. The Bach Choir
was seated on a platform in the
chancel, rising tier upon tier, to
accommodate the one hundred and
fifty singers, They entered the
Chapel silently and without formal procession went to their places.
Marking the peak of tfye Winter
Park social, season the flower show
opened Tuesday afternoon and continued Tuesday night and Wednesday until five o'clock in the Hooker
Memorial. Crowds thronged the
building, testifying to the great
interest in horticultural beauty, for
which Central Florida is justly
famous.
The Flower and Vegetable Mart
on the lawn, demonstrated -that
flowers and fruits may be displayed
commercially most artistically outdoors.
There was much interest in the
many rare plants and flowers exhibited, a black Galla Lily from
Palestine loaned by Mr. Phillips
of Each Church Street in Orlando,
a rare orchid shown by Mr. Wheeler of Winter Park. Mr. Foster,
of Tropical Arts in Orlando, displayed plants suitable for rock
gardens and Mr, Daetwyler and
Wyndham Hayward loaned many
palms, shrubs and cut flowers.
The committees, under the'leadership of Mrs. Gordon Jones, the
president of the Garden Club,
worked untiringly and effectively
They wore plainly dressed, including the soloists, both afternoon and
evening, the women in white and
the men in dark clothes. The
representative audiences
which
filled the Chapel at each performance were reverently attentive to
the music. Many distinguished
visitors were present from places
as far distant as Palm Beach, St.
Petersburg and Jacksonville.
It may well be said that the Bach
Festival is fortunate in having
the Chapel for its performances,
but it might also truly be said that
no more inspiring tribute to the
generous donor could have been
conceived than this glorification of
its beauty by such a musical apotheosis.
Bach's music has been progressing from a cult to a broader appeal in this country. All the public needs to enjoy and appreciate
Bach is musicians who can sing
and play his works without succumbing to its technical difficulties. In the skill of a truly great
Bach artist these technical difficulties become exquisite beautifications that are the more highly
treasured as they become revealed.
In selecting the artists for the
Bach Festival here, the Committee

When this paper went to press
last week, the entire receipts of
the bazaar and tea given by the
Woman's Auxiliary of All Saints
Church had not been collected, so
that the entire proceeds have
amounted to over $382, instead of
$325, as stated previously.
Mrs. James B. Dill of 457 New
England Avenue has her daughter, Mrs. Daniel A. Heald, of Morristown, N. J. with her until the
end of the month.
Among the Winter Park riders
who won ribbons in the Orlando
Horseshow last week were Mrs.
Mary Anderson, who took a blue
in the Ladies Local horsemanship
class, Mrs. Emily Lippincott Webster, who got second in that class,
and also in the Gay Nineties Class
in which she wore an interesting
French riding costume belonging
to Miss Edith Davenport of Zellwood, Fla., a niece of Whistler the
famous painter. Years ago, Miss
Davenport wore this picturesque
riding outfit on her daily morning
canters through the Bois in Paris
when she was with Whistler. Mrs.
Webster's daughter Ann won two
blues, one in the horsemanship
for children under 12, and one in
the Gay Nineties class, driving a
pony cart. Little Miss Lee Bradley, daughter of Prof, and Mrs.
U. T. Bradley won a second in
the Children's horsemanship class.

The Senior Recital of William
Page, baritone, of the Rollins
Conservatory, drew a large and
enthusiastic audience to the home
of Mr. and Mrs." R. B. Barbour on
Wednesday evening. Mr. Page
was in fine voice and sang with
commendable artistry and finish.
The Barbour home made a lovely
setting for the concert which is the
first of the series given throug-hout the spring1 by Senior students
of the Rollins Conservatory. Mr.
Page is the pupil of Bruce
Dougherty. ;He was ably accompanied by Emilie Dougherty at the
piano.

One of the most interesting of
the new houses in this part of the
State is the residence of Colonel
and Mrs. Edgar C. Leonard on Old
England Avenue in Winter Park.
Designed by Jas. Gamble Rogers
II and George Camp Keiser in association with Edward D. Stone of
New York, and built by H .G.
Cone, genei'al contractor, it illustrates the contemporary feeling of
design at its best. The house is
based on one designed by Mr. Stone
for Collier's Magazine, and was redrawn and adapted for building in
Florida by the local architects.
In a setting of orange trees, the
plain white walla form an effective contrast against the green
foliage. A high wall encloses a
garden to the south, which is
reached from the Living and Dining rooms across a terrace, and
which forms an effective barrier
against the north-west winds, permitting sun bathing on the terrace
even on chilly days.
picture window which tends to
bring the outdoors into the house.
The Dining room also has a view
of the garden through a group of
seven casements in the end of the
room. A small breakfast terrace
has been provided opening off of
the Dining room, and on this terrace is an extremely interesting
fountain feature of brightly colored tiles.
The upper bedrooms all face
south overlooking the garden, and
the entire south wall of each room
is glass, allowing the maximum
amount of sunlight and air into
these rooms. There is a balcony
leading from . the bedrooms, so
chairs 'may be pushed out, and giving access to the upper terraces.
The latest methods of construction have been used throughout,
the structure itself being of concrete blocks with steel framing
and reinforced concrete used extensively in the floor construction.
The entire first floor is a concrete

is used over the stairway. The

Last but not least in the roster

Composed of young students in
Rollins and older men and women
from outside who loved to sing
Bach they constituted a keenly
sympathetic chorus, fully appreciative of the work of the great master and proud to be the expressive
