GIVES DONORS CONCERT
Orchestra Offers First Of Two Com
pllmentary PROGRAMS

The Philadelphia Orchestra gave the
first of its series of two concerts to
those who subscribed 10 the birthday
fund of the 81 900 900 endowment at the
Metropolitan Opera House last eve >
ming. The big structure was full of
subscribers and they appeared to enjoy
the concert thoroughly.
The orchestra had just returned from
a long and arduous trip to the West,
and although tired showed no evidences
of it in their playing In fact, they
knew they were playing before body
of their friends, and there was more of
that indefinable intimacy between per
formers and audience than usually man
ifests itself in concert of the scope Of
last evenings. Nevertheless, to those
who have been accustomed to hearing
the orchestra in the Academy Of Music
it was again brought home forcisie that
the Metropolitan Opera House is not
the best possible auditorium for an
orchestral concert.
The program was made up Of two
old favorites, the Leonore Overture, No.
