From all sides the idea Of a permanent
Los Angeles symphony orchestra is meeting
with apptpval. To enlarge and strengthen
the orchestra for this season and place even
higher class of orchestral music before
the Los Angeles people adequate financial
support must be given. With an orchestra
of forty musicians under constant rehearsal
the expense is necessarily very large. 1t is
gratifying to learn from Mr.. Hamilton that
much stronger support is being given this
year than heretofore. Subscriptions are
coming in satisfactorily. The coupon books
are already out and contain twenty coupons
emitting the holder to two admissions to
each concert or twenty admissions to one
concert, as the purchaser may desire. These
will be placed at $40 book, and if the fin
ancial results are ahead of those which are
now expected and twelve concerts can be
given instead of ten, the holders will be
entitled to twenty-four admissions instead
of twenty at the same figure.

the time well marked, two essential charac-
teristics of dance music.
