SUNDAY MUSIC To
Be MOST BRILLIANT
Few Season Tickets Left for
the Series of Great
Attractions

j. II. 1olcombe treasurer and manager
of the concert committee which has ar
ranged four Sunday afternoon musicales
for the season OF 1929. stated yester-
day that few tickets were left unsold. 1t
is said that as great as last years at
fractions We're, those engaged for the
current season will be of even higher
value in the musical world. All the musi-
Gales will be held in the Jefferson the
atre and the entire parquet will be re-
served for season ticket holders.
The series opens November IA week
from next Sunday-with the Pasmore trio.
This popular organization is composed
of a violinist, pianist and cellist They
gave a Sunday concert in Birmingham
last season and 1t WAS agreed among mus
ical folk that no chamber music quite
so fine had ever been heard here.
The second attraction will be Efrem
Zimballst in violin recital. This vir-
tuoso is one of the four or five yiolinists
who tower so high above their fellow
artists that they are hardly to be COM
pared. Ysaye has been celebrated for .
years and commands a larger price than
any soloist who ever lived-larger than
Paderewski. But those who have heard
zimbalist and Ysaye recently say they en-
joyed Zimbalists playing even more than
they did that of the older artist. zlm-
balist is a young Russian. He dazzles
by the brilianee of his technique and
thrills crowds by his fire, soul and mag
netic personality. In New York and Bos-
ton he draws crowded house whenever
he appears and the best seats sell for
$3.50 No such vrtuoso has been heard
in Birmingham in many year. and he
IS the only one of his class who will be
here during the present season.
The third musicale will take place in
February with Janpolszi, the l.ussian
baritone as the attraction; and the
fourth and last will be in March with
Tina Lerner. the beautiful and brilliant
Russian pianist.
Mr.. Holcome SAYS that the few season
! tickets are almost sure to be disposed
| of before Saturday night

To Name Committees

The appointment of various committees
from the schools of Birmingham, bust
ness men, and ladies will be done within
few days. Mr.. Smith has been so en-
gagged in the details of the actual be-
ginning that he has been unable to give
much time or attention to this committee
work. He said yesterday that list was
being prepared but no one would be placed
on the committees who was not willing
to give a few hours to the work.
II am very much encouraged over the
ready responses made yesterday by some
of the most prominent and busiest men
of Birmingham to the appeals made to
them" said President Smith last night.
I'VE we're in conference over the Ne'y
pressing demands for payment made by
the workmen when Murray Brown walked
up. 1t took only two minutes to 'xp,ain
to Mr.. Brown and he promptly donated
$40. From that moment we solicited no icy
for two hours and have now about $40 IN
donations That sum is enough TO meet
the present obligations, but more must
be had and further solicitations VIII De
