On stationery with Damrosch's letterhead and signed "Lillian Day." The first dated January 3 1921 is the cover letter to a "corrected copy of M. Widor's song Le Chene du souvenir" the song is not present. The second dated November 14 1921 inquires about royalties Damrosch sent to Camille Saint-Saëns and Ralph Vaughan Williams; the writer wants to adjust Damrosch's French bank account; bank receipt Morgan Harjes & Co Paris dated July 8 1921 is attached. Unrecorded and presumably unpublished. The texts are by Henry Rutherford Elliot 1849-1906 a journalist in New York and Edwin Markham 1852-1940 an American poet. "Laugh it off!" is a humorous song in a popular style; The Manger Song of Mary is a lullaby in a more sophisticated style.<br/><br/>The correspondence suggests that both of Vidal's songs were slated for publication by Hinds Hayden & Eldredge in 1923; the scribal copies were most likely intended as engraver's copies. One of the poets Elliot however was no longer alive; there are no materials in the present collection mentioning his heirs. In any case the SACEM forms also Markham's remained unsigned. The publication stalled and the songs were apparently never published.<br/><br/>A French conductor teacher and composer " Vidal is particularly remembered as a fine teacher who was sympathetic to new ideas. At the Paris Conservatoire he taught classes in solfège from 1894 piano accompaniment from 1896 and composition from 1909. Vidal's most successful compositions were the ballet La maladetta 1893 which had been performed nearly 200 times by 1930 and the light opera Eros."
