Road to Concert
Success Harder
Than In Old Days

New York, Dec. 21-(AP)-The
road to success on the concert stage
in the olden days was difficult, but
now it is even harder. More hopes of
ambitious artists than ever are being
crushed into disappointment.
This, in the opinion of several pro-
niinent New York managers, has
come about because of increased
competition and the attendance or
more intelligent audiences.
Not only is the route harder, but it
also is more expensive. When any
one is ready for concert work, it
costs at least $4,000 and oftentimes
more. to get started, exclusive of
funds expended through the long
years of training.
IN making this estimate executives
of the Philharmonic Society of New
York pointed out that there is the
cost of expert teachers to correct
mistakes previously overlooked. An
accompanist is necessary, except
when the artist is pianist. Promo
| ton and advertising also are expen-
sjve.
Then the artist must rent halls for
his debut performances. which usual
" are given in, New York. Boston and
Chicago. On many of these evenings
| in New York, the hall is packed with
persons, but the chances are the
| tickets were presented free gratis by
the artist, or wealthy sponsor was
of assistance.
| Concert managers here are in touch
with managers and music organiZa-
