books utilized in the church, wkh special
markings by their conductor to indicate the
notes which they are to play. This instru-
mental feature is added to the service on
occasions when an especially large congrega-
tion is desired. The pastor finds that it fits
in well with the general dignity of the serv-
ice. Among the beneficial results is the spe-
cial interest created among the children of
the congregation by this appealing addition
to the church music forces.

NUMEROUS FRETTED INSTRUMENT
ACTIVITIES REPORTED BY BUREAU
F
RETTED instrument activities ranging
from church services to minstrel shows
have been recorded in recent reports to
the National Bureau for the Advancement of
Music. Several of those activities came to a
head during National Music Week. A typical
example was the appearance of the Little
Theatre Mandolin Orchestra, under Arthur
Martens, at a performance of "Hay Fever"
by Noel Coward at Staten Island, New York
City. The plectrum group played a number
of standard selections including a "Serenade"
by Pierne. A Music Week highlight was the
participation of several fretted instrument
groups in a People's Music Night at Duluth,
Minnesota. That concert, which bore the en-
dorsement of Mayor Snively, included num-
bers by the following groups under the di-
rection of Mrs. A. J. Lembeck: A ukulele
club consisting of domestic servants, a saxo-
phone-banjo ensemble and a Hawaiian guitar
group. The program was heard by more
than 2,000 persons.
A novel presentation of fretted instrument "
work was the minstrel review under the di-
rection of Joseph Consentino at the Colonial
Theatre, Lawrence, Massachusetts. The pro-
gram opened with a scene showing the re-
hearsal of an ensemble of stringed instru-
ments. All manner of discords greeted the
audience but these were dispelled at the ap-
pearance of the instructor, Mr. Consentino.
There followed a succession of musical num-
bers by the banjo band and by the mandolin
symphonic ensemble.
