THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
by SAMUEL l.. LACIAR

by SAMUEL T.. LACIAR
THE Philharmonic Society OF this city
= has been obliged to make some
slight changes in its policy, necessitatetl
by the character and the musical ten
dencics Of the audiences which have
been attracted to its concerts for the
last couple Of seasons.
The organization originally had in
mind specific attempt to encourage
the younger soloists of the city who
have no possible chance to make their
dcbuts with such organizations as the
Philadelphia Orchestra or the New
York symphony Society and the like.
This hos by no means been abandoned,
us the discovery Of new talent is q fun
damental pnrt Of the sOciety's work,
bur the growth Of interest has
been such and the demand for the best
so!oists on the concert stage so strong
that the directors have to make some
concessions in this direction.
Philadelphia younger artists will
still have their chance to appenr with
the orchestra and about one half Of the
solo talent will be drawn from these
and the other half from the best that
can be Secured. Following this pro.
cedure Nine. Olga Samaroff will be the
soloist Mt the opening concert on Sun
Iay evening, November 10, and others
from the professional solo group will
include Sascha Jacobinoff, Hans Kinder
and Florence Easton.
THE interest in the concerts Of the
L philharmonic has been 80 great and
the demands upon the limited space at

ship dues this season when it was de.
cidcd to have the best soloists which
could be secured ut four of their con-
rerts. 1t speaks volumes for the
strength of the organization that the
membership up to q few days ago, at
the increased rate, was actually greater
than on the same date last year.
The main object of the Philharmonic
Is the same as at the time of its in
nuguration, namely, to furnish the
highest grade of orchestral music pos
sible to the greatest number Of persons
at the lowest possible cost. The cost
OF orchestral concerts has increased
enormously in the last few years. and
II evory membership were sold the re.
ccipts would still hardly equal the cx-
pcnditlres,. for the concerts are being
given to the members at u cost of a
little more than u dollar a concert.
Nhen the character Of the orchestra
and or the soloists is considered, it
VIII be readily seen that this will not
meet the cost of giving them.
A number OF public spirited mem.
Ders in the past have been making up
the very substantial deficit which il
shown ut the close of each season ana
1t has been only this guarantee that has
enabled the directors to 70 ahead with
their ambitious plans.
THE plan this season Is triple in
It's nature. The society PROPOSES to
give the best possible orchestral con-
certS, perhaps not always of sym.
phonic character, but still made up of
the very best music, and with the best
group OF orchestral performers in the
country, the Philadelphia Orchestra:
t. give the opportunity for the mem.
pers OF the society to hear several solo.

to have some Of the most talented

CATS
TO Be TRIED
ON CHARGES

Pensacola, May 1.-The case of Sid
ney ]. Cats, former governor of
Florida, under indictment for peon-
age is expected to occupy the atten-
ton of the spring term of Federal
court which began here today.
1t was understood that counsel for
Cats would ask this week to have
Judge Sheppard dismiss the charge
and that if the court refused to do
so the government would ask that
the case go to trial early in the
term.
Cats, whose term as governor eX-
pired in January 1921, was indicted
after an investigation by a commit
tee of the Florida legislature last
spring into the official acts of the
former chief executive. In the FeG
eral indictment it was charged that
pardoned negro state convict had
been forced to work on Cats plan
tation in West Florida.
The former governor also is under
indictment in the state courts on al
legations that he accepted a bribe
to influence his vote, as a member
of the state board of pardons, on the
application of a convict for clemen-
cy.
