sundry pointed remarks upon the conduct |
of MIR. Max Bachert in touring around the |
country with concert party of six PLAYERS
under the name of "The Boston Sympbony
Orchestral Club" 1t certainly was bad |

public into believing he had at least some |
connection with it. But the cool gall of MIR. |
Bachert has carried him further He has |
actually brought suit in the New York Su- |

OF the same nature, calling itselt the "Boston |
symphony CLUB, to restrain it from making |
use of his % title. More than that he has
obtained the injunction he asked forl AT. |
