1t presents itself to two of my cor

the following reasons. Mr.. Louis

fortunately the difference between the
normal pitch of the orchestra and the
pitch of Mr.. Mundwyler's instrument
was not quite the full half tonei The
uncertain rhythmic quality of the solo
one of my correspondents ascribes to the
inherent impossibility of the work itself,
the other to the excessive sensitiveness
of the instrument. With an artist of Mr..
Mundwylers caliber at the end of it 1
should Judge rather that this was due to
the general horror of the situation.
And now, whether it is to applaud or
deprecate the oboist's rash heroism is the
question. 1 myself, still unaccustomed
to the programmed names of the orches-
ira, had not ascribed to Mr.. Mundwyler
the sins of the Sibelius horning not
imagining for moment that Mundwy-

Yet upon his head the responsibility in

the question is whether that kind of self

criticism of the unpleasing result is "un-

The two popular symphony concerts to
be given by Mr.. Scheel and his men at
the Pavilion tomorrow and Wednesday
afternoons will recall the joys of the

Notes Of the Players.

The splendid reception which has been
accorded to "Everyman" during its first
weeks engagement at Lyric Hall has
surpassed Ben Greet's largest expecta-
tions as to the success of the play on
the Pacific Coast. 1t has now been
definitely decided that on September %
the company playing "Everyman" will
return to Berkeley. where their first pre-
sentiment was made so successfully, and
produce Twelfth Night in the new
Greek amphitheater of the university.
