FIVE MILLIONS FOR MUSIC
Coming Season in New York Will
Surpass Anything Ever Known.

That tho music bill of this city for
the coming season will approximate
Sa'oOO.OOO, far exceeding any similar
expenditure on record here or abroad,
Is now indicated by the preparations
under way for the greatest musical sen T.
son ever known. Ten years ago the
sum spent in this way amounted to
hardly more than 81 900, 900. What It
VIII amount to - another decade in
view OF the ever Increasing demand for
music of every character is merely n
matter of conjecture. In spite Of this
great expenditure, however music has
not yet become e generally popular
form Of entertainment as Is Indicated
by the fact that the greater part Of
tho s5,000,000 which It is estimated
Will be spent in the Ave months after
the middle OF next October for opera,
symphony concerts and other forms
OF musical enterta lnment will come
from a nucleus of music patrons num-
herring less than 25ND or less than one
por cent. Of tho city's total population.
Probably not moro than one person in
i've hundred ever attends the opera
although concerts OF various sorts are
more widely patronized. just why
New Workers will have TO foot such
an enormous bill for their musical en-
tertainment 10 indicated by the salaries
paid TO the artists. A really famous
| operate singer receives as much as
$4,000 for single performance, while
symphony orchestra leaders are paid
as much "a $4,000 for a season last
ing only four months. Many of these
| concerts and recitals fail to earn any
| thing. In one case during the past
musical season Just zen seats were sold

the bill but whether II can really en-
joy tho 100000 worth Of music whic,

tion OF the army at large stations,

Does the fact that about 1000

the mothers and homekeepers of the

a small fraction of the total number OF

But the purpose of 1000 girls to mt
