which has become familiar to music
lovers, has made the Wagner programs
by the great symphony orchestras the
feature of the present concert year.
In view of this, Mr.. Stokowski has
chosen a program which covers the de-
velopment of the composers musical

the best equipped artists America has
produced. Hiss Hinkle will be heard
