The Theodore Thomas Orchestra has
opened its season in Chicago most favor
ably. The music critics of that city say
the orchestra has begun it's work as if it
had been rehearsing all summer. Mr..
Thomas returned from his summer home
in fine health and has taken up the baton
with all his vigor and dignity. The or
chestra is in closer brotherhood than ever
before. The first concert of it's Indianapo-
lis series will be given Dec. l6. A writer
in Music, Chicago magazine, says of Mr..
Thomas:
1.-THE more l hear the other conductors
(and 1 hear them often in New York; the
more 1 am convinced that they are miles
behind him. If you really enjoy rough
ness, you ought TO hear the Philharmonic
under Paur frequently. The instruments
never pretend 10 begin together. but come
zig-zagging along. And yet Paur is a tai
ented man and a good conductor and has
fine conception. Walter Damrosch is COM
monplace and affected, but he has ability
in the arrangement of his programmes,
which are always well selected. AS for
Gericke, he is dried up and absolutely I'M
emotional, but he 'rehearses a composition
until he is dead as l once heard talented
musician say concerning him. Why in con-
science you critics all say that the Boston
never could see, but you must have reasons
for IL. ThomaSs men are first-class men,
also, and / fail to the superiority of
the Boston Orchestra. notice the Boston
Orchestra came in q body TO hear Thomas
on the occasion of his last tour to New
York, when he had immense audiences of
the finest people in the city. In fact, the
New York papers came out and said that
such audiences had rarely been seen In the
