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.
