! Walter Damrosch and Pierre Monteux
have solved the problem of unnecessary
duplication OF the orchestral works
presented at their respective concerts.
| During his visit in Paris last summer
Mr.. Damrosch suggested a plan to NJ
Monteux. according to which the home
] orchestra sends it's programme scheme
to the visiting conductor at the earliest
time possible. This enables the visiting
! conductor to avoid Implications and
| should result in mutual concessions
made in friendly spirit NJ. MonteuX
| was heartily In sympathy with this plan,
and a practical result OF the arrange
ment is already seen in the fact that
NJ. Monteux courteously withdrew his
performance Of the d'Indy, Third SYM

| announced II for the same week. In
turn Mr.. Damrosch will play Beethoven's
