CUNDAY evening concerts featur-

We receive so many requests to
play selections from light operas and

said Director Tupman, that L feel
sure that a Sunday evening concert
featuring this type of music would
havesa very wide and authentic ap

taste than Washington. Fine con-

trend. in fact. is toward the more
