GILBERT, AMERICAN COMPOSER, TO GIVE LECTURE TONIGHT

B. F. Gilbert, a composer of distinction, will give a lecture at 8.15 o'clock tonight in Paine Hall on "The Frankfort Musical Festival of 1927," with some comments upon the contemporary music as revealed by the programs of this festival.

Gilbert is a hearty advocate of the efforts by Americans to attain a style distinct from those of European composers. In pursuit of this aim Mr. Gilbert has written much music based upon negro or Indian themes. His "Comedy Overture" has been played all over this country, in Europe, and even in Russia. His "Indian Sketches" have also been performed by leading American orchestras.
