Ona B. Talbot a successful orc
The recognition and support given
by the Chamber Of Commerce and its
members to next seasons orchestral
concerts again shows that the organl-
zation Is taking advantage Of an op-
portunity to aid in giving 1ndianapo-
lis symphony music.
Ona B. Talbot is the recognized
source Of such concerts as she risked
everything last year in giving Indiana
polls a splendid orchestral series.
The same organization. The Gin
cinnau Symphony Orchestra with
Fritz Reiner conducting, will give
three CONCERTS at the Murat this fall
and winter under the direction Of Mrs.
Talbot
Orchestral concerts cost thousands
Of dollars but that did not frghten
Mrs. Talbot last year or this spring
:. when she was making her fall plans.
- When the Chamber Of Commerce
Bthrough its membership can lend its
influence to promoting and maintain
ing good orchestral music, it is evil
dence that the new and greater Indi-
annapolis has arrived.
Letter Sent to Members
Brings Splendid Response -
Mrs. Talbot has been informed that
the letter sent to the members Of the
Chamber OF Commerce has not only
resulted IN many season tickets be-
ing sold. but that new 800 guaran-
tors have been received.
The letter sent to members Of the
Chamber Of Commerce is in part as
follows:
You undoubtedly know of the
great artistic success Of the past sea-
son Of the Symphony Society Of In
dianapolis attendant on its three con-
certs presented by the Cincinnati
Symphony Orchestra under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Fritz Reiner, at the Murat
Theater.
THE Cincinnati Symphony Orches-
ira has made a most enyiable reputa-
ton for itself in musical circles. This
splendid aggregation Of well trained
musicians viii appear again in 1928
1924 concerts and will be accompa-
MED, as was the case in the past Sc
ries, by soloists who are artists Of in
ternational fame.
"a group of interested business
men guaranteed the venture against
loss last year, and the same individ-
uals are interested in the forthcoming
season. 1t is necessary, however, to
broaden the scope Of the support in
1order that the great benefits to the
public generally of such an organiza-
ton as this may be extended
THE advisory board Of finance, and
the board OF directors, and Ona B.
Talbot, managing director, are MAX
ing this appeal to the large number
of Chamber of Commerce members,
representing, as this membership
does, the very best elements of the
city Of Indianapolis, for their help,
encouragement and assistance, and
urges each member of the Chamber
OF Commerce to make his reservation
for the season tickets far enough in
advance to insure the success of this
enterprise.
There are enough lovers of good
music in our midst to warrant an
increasing activity along musical
lines, and II those who are interested
will take advantage of the opportu-
nifty now offered to buy season tickets
at the prices indicated, there will be
no question as to the furthering Of
this phase of life which is so >impor-
tant to this community"
The thing that like best about Mrs.
Talbot's orchestral plans that the sea-
son seats are so arranged that the
price will fit pocket books of all
sizes.

certs are as follows: $3.50; 1925:
$3.50 and $3.50. The balcony prices for
the three concerts are $3.50; sS.25;
$3.50 and S4.95. These prices include
war tax and admit the holder to the
entire three orchestral concerts.
