CONCERTS CROWD
HALLS IN NEW YORK
Seating Problem This Season
Has Increased With New
Appreciation.


NEW YORK, April 1.-THE pres
ent season of music, approaching it's
close, in retrospect reveals that the
largest of the citys concert halls are
frequently inadequate to the demands
of its ever-groWing music-loving pub
lie.
This, say the critics. is not the age
of great vocalists of instrumental vir-
tuosos, or of genius In composers or
conductors. But box Office receipts
testify that the year has been one OF
large, even great. audiences. People
have crammed into available space in
Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera
House, Aeolian Hall, the Brooklyn
Academy of Music. and other highly
patronized musical centers as never
before.

Carnegie Hall. New Yorli's concert
center since 1890. was so!d last year

however. as if there already is a de-
mand for a new moro spacious home
in which the symphony societies and
the major singers and instrumental
lists may give their concerts.
From the night OF its first perform
ance of the 1925-26 year, always the
official and Fashionable opening of the
musical season, nights at the Metro
politan Opera House have found en-
thusiastS banked about the large
horseshoe aisle bordering the sides and
rear of the red plush parquet-all

Mecca Temple Sells Out.

The New York Symphony Society
gave most of it's concerts at Mecca
Temple, a new structure seating many
more than the older Aeolian hall,
where it played for SO many years.
Even there, however, sell-outs were
frequent and the S. r. o. shingle was
hung in the foyer.
The season has seen two younger
musical societies spring suddenly into
popular favor. They are the League
of Composers, which gives programs
OF unheard music, and the Interna-
tional Composers Guild, which gives
encouragement to and plays music of
composers of all lands. The trend to
modern music has given these 80
cieties audiences of unaccustomed
size. Standees overwhelmed them.
The Society of the Friends of Music
is another reputable musical organiza
ton which may have to move to
larger hall for its programs
Kreisler seldom advertises his violin
recitals any more. The mere hint of
an appearance sells out Carnegie Hall
for him. The same popularity obtains
for Hoffman, Paderewski and many
others.

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, March 81
So eager are prospective gold seek
ers to reach the new strike in the
Kramer Hills on the Mohave desert
that they are chartering airplanes
to reach the scene. Several air
planes have taken off for the gold
fields from Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco and other coast cities. Flyers
are selecting landing fields as close
to the strike as possible.
Scenes of the Klondyke gold strike
in the nineties are being re-enacted
with the same glamour, the same
romance and the same dazzling, joy
Gus and thrilling experiences.
The strike is just being revealed
and the extent of it's golden spread
down through the gulches and over
the low brown desert hills is un-
known. If surface indications are
borne out there is great opportunity
for new wealth to the hordes of
treasure seekers flocking to the
fields.
Overnight one of the sidings along
the Santa Fe railroad track became
a gold-mad town, and in a brief
period may gain sufficient momentum
to become a city, created from the
ore deposits.

literally ends in pot of gold, have
staked out their claims and are

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Caln in
face of the furry caused by the word
that 3.75 per cent malt tonic would
be on sale shortly, prohibition Off

by the announcement, that they need
fear no breakdown in enforcement,
and cautioned the drinking popula-

solicitor Bri.t of the interna1 rev

that states cou.d prohibit sale of
the tonic if they so desired, although
it was pointed out that grocery st.res
generally have on hand products con-
tanning more alcohol which, like the
tonic, are unfit for beverage pur-
poses. Stressing the point that the
tonic won't be fit to drink, j. H.

concerned. 1t did not figure in house
