The programme which Mr.. Chapman

usual brilliancy and interest.
The mighty Overture 1919. by the won
derful Russian master, Peter Ilysocn
,Tschaikowsky, has done more to arouse
enthusiasm among modern auoiences
than any composition OF Its kind which mas
been written In recent years. This WORK
was composed by Tschaikowsky In tooo'
for the conservation of the New Catne-
draI of Christ, In Moscow, and 1t mar
.vaIIously describes In tone, the disastrous
retreat OF the French from Moscow, anu
the celebrations OF the victorious Russian
forces after their departure. This eneo'
