of the others. Hallet Gilberte, Arthur Farwell, Colin

composers living here. Of the younger composers,
we have Homer Simmons, Frances Cole and Jeanette
Colwell, Fannie C. Dillon, who will become the head
of the theory department of the Olga Steeb piano
school, is a composer of merit. Sol Cohen, Ernest
Douglas, Clarence Gustlin, Abbie Norton, Jamison,
Helen Livingstone, Frances Marion Ralston, Anna
