Wichita has been signally honored,
in fact, the state of Kansas shares IN
the glory of this city's being the only
point in the entire state where a con-
cert will be given. 1t is also the far
thest western point included in the
three weeks American tour. The
cities to be visited by the London
Symphony Orchestra are: New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, d.
c., Baltimore, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas City, Wich-
ita, Des Moines, Madison, Milwaukee,
Cincinnati, Toledo, Detroit, Buffalo.
Toronto and Montreal, Canada, and
Providence. R. l., from whence they
sail for London.
Wichita is the western end of this
big tour. The London Symphony Or
chestra is conceded to be Europe's
greatest orchestra and it was neces-
sary to secure the especial permission
of His Majesty, King George, before
America could hear this international
musical organization. The orchestra
travels in a special Pullman de luxe
train of eight cars, one car being the
private car "Signet," used by the
Duke of Connaught.
Hundreds of requests for seats are
pouring into Wichita every mail and
it is advisable that everyone wishing
to hear Nikisch and the London SYM
phony Orchestra and the splendid
without delay. Seats range in price
from 50, $3.50 and SO. On account
of the magnitude of the London SYM
hpony Orchestra and the splendid
acoustic properties of the Forum, ev-
cry seat in the house is equally desir-
able.

Nikisch An Agreeable Genius.

Arthur Nikisch the famous Hungar-
ian conductor of the London Symphony
Orchestra, which appears at the Fo-
rum in Wichita, Thursday evening,
April 18, "won his spurs" in the mus
ical world before he was 81. He is
now unquestionably the greatest con-
cert leader in the world.
Weiniawsl1i, the violinist, is said to
be responsible for calling the attention
of European critics to young Nikisch.
Years ago the violinist undertook a
concert tour through the principal cit
les of the continent. He desired an
accompanist-the best that could be
found. At the Vienna Conservatoire.
Arthur Nikisch had won first prize for
a string sextet. He was only 10, but
Wieniawski would risk 1t.
The tour was more than a success;
1t was triumph both for soloist and
accompanist. Indeed, the applause
which greeted Nikisch for his exqui-
site appreciation of and sympathy
with the various moods of Wieniaw-
ski was so great that the violinist af-
forwards exclaimed: "The rascal took
away all my laurels."
