CONCERTS, LECTURES, ETC.
Paris Symphony Orchestra Today


The response to the French appeal
represented in the concert of the
Symphony Orchestra of Paris, La So
ciete des Concerts du Conservatoire
de Paris. at Polls Wednesday after
noon. was such that M. Andre Messa-
ger and his famous symphony or
ganization gladly welcomed the op-
portunity for a repetition at Polls
Theater this afternoon at o'clock,
when an entirely new program will
be presented, and a new soloist, M.
Pollain, will play E. Lalo's Concerto
in D. for cello.
The program. will open with G.
Bizet's Patrie Overture, written after
the war of 1870. when France was
in mourning, but yet alive in the
hearts of her sons and in the glories
Of her destiny. This will be fol-
lowed by the Symphony in c minor
(Fifth). opus 81 IL. van Beethoven) {;
Paul Dukas' L'Apprentier Sorcier
(scherzo). NJ. Pollain's cello con-
main Overture.
These concerts, notwithstanding
their rare excellence from musical
standpoint, are not commercial ven-
lures, nor an attempt merely to ex-
plot French music or French artistry.
They are voluntary offerings of men
eminent in the French musical world
to more closely cement and to en-
large the cordial relations between
the peoples Of the two great republics.

N the principle that it is mean
to kick a man when he Is
down. it seems scarcely fair
~ to apply the critical touch
to the brush that paints the
theatrical attractions Of the past
week. nor to suggest that the an
nouncements for the current week re-
semble extracts from the city di-
rectory. The war and its heavy bur-
dens have weighed down even the
theatrical producer for some time and
then there has been the Spanish influ-
enza and the peace news" Times
have been troublous. to use a rural
aphorism. and it must be remembered
also that original initiative is not one
of the crowning virtues of the present
theatrical age. when even "The Prod
igal Son" is being revised" to enter
tain the multitude.
