on bis vegetable barrow, drawn BY the
inevitable little donkey.
Then for few moments one turns
off the Strand into one Of the quiet
little streets that lead dowr to the
river and suddenly the noise ceases,
shut off az though by magic. We are
in that part Of London known as the
Adelphi. Formerly the haunt of fash
ionable bucks and dnndics about town
now merely oldfashioned houses and
shabby old streets, haunted principally
by beggars and ragged street urchine.
We return to tho Strand and ore
once again caught up by the hustle
and life Of London--gay, careless,
noisy. with every now and then a
touch Of something fiercer, something
inexorable-as though one felt for a
moment the iron hand Of the great
city-yet, nevertheless. full Of that
mixture Of good humor, animal spirits
and sentimentality that Is SO char
acteristic OF London.
Second Movement
In the second movement the COM
poser paints us picture Of that region
Of London which lies between Hol-
born and the Euston Road, known as
Bloomsbury. Dusk is falling. 1t is
the damp ana foggy twilight Of late
November day. Those who know their
London know this region of melan-
choly Streets over which seems to
brood an air Of shabby gentility-a
sad dignity Of having seen better days.
In the gathering gloom there Is some-
thing ghostlike. A silence hangs over
II e neighborhood broken only by the
policeman or his beat.
There is tragedy, too, In Bloomsbury.
for among the many streets between
Holborn and Euston there are alleys
In front Of a pub" whose lights
flare through the murky twilight stands
an old musician playing the fiddle. His
tune Is played in the orchestra by the
viola. In tho distance the Lavender
cry" Ia heard: "Sweet lavender, who'll
buy sweet lavender?" Up and down tho
streets the cry goes, now nearer, now
further away.
Tho gloom deepens and the move
ment ends with the old musician still
playing his pathetic little tune.
Third Movement
In this movement one must imagine
ones self sitting late on q Saturday
night on one OF tho benches of the
Temple Embankment (thnt part OF the
Thames Embankment lying between
the Houses Of Parliament and Water
loo Bridge). On our eide OF the river
all Is quiet and In the silence one

Violinists, pianists, singers, many
Of them medocrities, have been
thronging the concert halls Of this
city since early autumn. Now, In mid
season, it is the turn of conductors.
Three interesting personalities, from
as many nations, will soon enter the
hay Of New Yorks musical life. Two,
least, are "a suous-the Italian and
the Dutchman. Both already have
been admired III New York. The third,
Britisher, is a newcomer, and has
yet to win his spurs with American
audiences.
Arturo Toscanini, who b.< not been
in America since the W.. will be the
drst TO appear. He will conduct the
La Scala Orchestra at the Metropolitan
Opera House next Tuesday evening.
The last few years the great con-
ductor has devoted all Of his time to
patriotic enterprises in the arena of
Milan In July. 1915, he organized
and directed series of concerts in
which 800 artists and body Of $500
ezecutan.s took part, and at which
patriotic hymns were sung. The sea-
son Of opera directed by him at the
Dal Verne Teatro in Milan brought in
10000 lire. which were devoted to
charity. Other concerts given at the
conservatory added moro than 100000
lire to fund FOR the relief Of INDECENT

hears from a distanc. coming from the
other side Of the river all The noises
or Saturday night in the elums. (The
other oide, the south side Of the
Rlver Thames, is q vast network of
very poor quarters and slums). On 8
Saturday night these slums resemble q
fair; the streets are lined with bar~
rows, lit up by flaming torches, selling
cheap fruit, vegetables, produce Of ali
kinds; the streets and alleys are
crowded with people. AT street cor
ners coster girls in large feather hats
dance their beloved double shuttle e
llg' to the accompaniment of mouth
organ We seem to hear distant
what sounds like cries Of suffering.
Suddenly concertina breaks out above
the rest; then we hear a few bars on
a hurdy-gurdy organ. All this softened
by distance, melted into one vast hum
floats across the river to us as we sit
meditating on the Temple Embank-
ment
The music changes suddenly and ons
feels the Thames flowing silent, mys-
terious. with touch Of tragedy. One
Of tondon's sudden fogs comes down
mag Slumand and its noises seem
remote. Again, for few bars, We feel
the Thames flowing through the night
and the picture fades into fog and
silence.
Fourth Movement
The last movement deals almost en-
tirely with the crueler aspect of Lon
don, the London of the "unemployed~
and unfortunate. After the opening
bars we hear the Hunger March"--a
Ghostly march past of those whom
the city grinds aud crushes, the great
army of those who are cold and hun
CRY and unable to get work
We hear again the noise and hustle
Of the streets "reminiscences Of the
first movement), but these now also
take on the crueler aspect There
are sharp oiscords in the music. This
is London as seen by the man who is
"out and under" The man tout Of a
job" who watches the other man go
whistling to his work, the man who is
starving watching the other man eat
and the cheerful, bustling picture Of
gay street life becomes distorted, a
nightmare seen by the eyes of suffer
ing.
Tho music ends abruptly and In the
short silence that follows one again
hears "Big Ben" Ginning from West
minister Tower.
There follows the Epllogue. In whicn
we seem to feel tho great, deep soul
OF London-London as a whole. vast
and unfathomable-and the symphony
ends as II began with the river; old
Father Thames flowing calm and silent,
as he has flowed through the ages,

Born in Gloucestershire in 1872,
Vaughan Williams was educated at
Charterhouse School and Trinity Col

chiefly at the Royal College Of Music,
London.
A London" Symphony was hrst per-

revised by tho composer and In It's
revised form was performed at the
Congress Of the British Music Society

First Movement
The following notes about the SYM
phony have been sent from the Offices
OF tho Symphony Society:
The nrst movement opens at day
break by the river. Old Father Thames
flows calm and silent under the heavy
gray dawn, oeep and thoughtful,
