he performs an orchestral suite from
R1msky -Korsakov's opera, "Tsar Sal
tam" The opera Is based on a fairy
legend of Russia, and the suite calls
for the large modern symphony

composer uses in his most gorgeous
tone paintings.
The French school will be represent
ed by Debussy's prelude to THE
Afternoon of a Faun." Debussy is
perhaps best known by this setting in
tones of Mallarme's poem, ia which
the faun tries yainly to retain the
dfmming and evasive image of his
recent experience with a group of
nymphs. This music Of mood and
subtle suggestion is in it's way more
potent than poetry of words. Kousse-
vitzky is famous as an interpreter of
Debussy. He is reported to have been
the first to make the Frenchman's
music known in Russia.
The opening overture will be from
Weber's "Euryanthe."
Seats are on sale at Mrs. Wilson

makes it especially well suited for

arranged for this combination by
Master Sergt. Theodore Bingert.
So many requests have been re-
ceived for the Guatemalan waltz
Entire Selvas," that it is included in
