Cecil Smith, music critic for the
Chicago Tribune, who has attended
festivals at other places said that
the spirit evidenced at (2ornell was
the best of any of the festivals and
:hat there seemed to be a genuine
interest in music here rather than
the social aspects of such an affair.
He felt that the Cornell festival was
an aggregation of real music lov-
ers. His review of the festival will
appear in next Sunday's Chicago
Tribune, he said.
Another outstanding guest was
Mrs. Charltes Weyerhauser of St.
Paul, Minn of the famous lumber
family, who is on the board of the
Music Mountain association which
directs a music festival in New Eng-
land every summer. She is reported
to have been enjoying the festival
here immensely.
The music of the Chicago Sym-
)hony orchestra, directed by Dr.
Stock, of course was the high point
of the festival. This is the fiftieth
season of the orchestra and Mr.
Ryerson said it had been marked by
playing of new works and a suc-
cessful tour to New York City and
Boston.
