for itself. In other words Mrs Tai

With a loss, Mrs. Talbot Is not dis
couraged as she has three OF the
leading symphony orchestras under
contract for the season OF 1924-1925.
THE only way that orchestra con-
house for every concert" Mrs. Tai
bot said In discussing the situation"
In the three seasons, l personally
have not received a cent from the
orchestral concerts. In this cause
devote my entire office force, my
own time-and pay for all mailing ex-
penses. announcements advertising
and theater rental.
I'VE had better attendance this
season than ever at the orchestral
concerts. although there were 700 I'M
sold seats for the concert of the st.
Louis Symphony. Our scale Of
prices are such for the season that
we must play to absolute capacity to
break even.
IF we could sell enough season
tickets to make our guarantee of
$4,000 Cor the three concerts, the
problem would not be so difficult.
Splendid men and women are on
the board Of directors and the guar
antors' list is really roll of honor.
