Under the date of Oct. 10, Musical
America prints this as part OF an
important article:
BERLIN, oct Recent political de-
velopments in Germany have given rise to
many conflicting reports with respect to
Bayreuth, which in the last few weeks
has been a storm center of discussion.
Among the stories which have been going
the rounds is one about reported differ
ences between Arturo Toscanini and Frau
Winifred Wagner. 1t was reported on high
authority that both Toscanini and Dr..
Karl Muck had refused to take part in
next summers festival.
Toscanini, according. to this story, was
offended because Frau Wagner issued a
denial of newspaper and cable dispatches
predicting that he would take over the
direction of future Bayreuth festivals.
She made plain that she would remain
the artistic director Of the festivals. &C
cording to the trust imposed upon her by
siegfried Wagner on his death bed
Hostile Propaganda Seen
r. Is believed in some quarters that
these rumors emanate from a 1acVloh
hostile to the Wagner family, and that
Toscanini has been made the innocent
victim of a political maneuver IN whlch
he has never desired to take part. The
naestros notorious addiction to silence
on the subject of his artistic activities
has not helped to clear up the mystery
The rumors of his permanent appoint
seem
to have had their source in the fact that
the conductor was known to have been
looking for new house for next season.
It was stated at the time that he merely
wished to be sure of a comfortable resi-
dence and did not intend to settle perma-
nently in Bayreuth. as reported. The
idea of assuming supreme direction at
Bayreuth is believed to have been as far
from the noted conductors thoughts as it
was from Frau Wagners.
Muck Resignation Reported
According to another rumor current in
German circles. Or. Karl Muck has re-
fused to conduct at next seasons festival.
The veteran German leader is known to
have expressed strong protests because he
was given only one orchestra rehearsal
for this seasons "Parsifal." whereas Tos-
canini was permitted innumerable re-
hesrsaIs for the new 'Tannhauser" pro-
duction and for Tristan"
Political repercussions from the recent
victory of the Hitler party.-at the polls are
also expected to be felt in Bayreuth. ac-
cording to reports current in Berlin. These
state that both Toscanini and Muck are
in disfavor with the national Socialist
leaders. the first because he is foreigner
and the latter because. though born in
Darmstadt, he has been associated for the
most part with north Germany in his
artistic endeavors whereas the Hitler
party is Bavarian and nationalist in It's
sympathies

"A caught on. according to Earl
Mushrush. who presides over the
Lyric ballroom. His new dance
creation is called "the Chicago

the dancers to whom it was intro
duced last week.
Mushrush announced last week
that he would teach this new step
to those who attend free dance in
struction classes which are given

So many dancers took avail of
this offer that more instructors had
to be added to the already large
staff which the Lyric ballroom now
maintains.
Waltz nights which have also
been proving very popular with
dancers in the ballroom will be
continued on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday nights
Several organizations have al
ready taken advantage of Club
night and have made reservations
to hold dance parties for Halloween
and the coming holidays.
"Whoopee nights" on Saturday
and Sunday have taxed to capacity
the ballroom for the past weeks.
On these nights extra dances and
many special novelties are offered
for the entertainment of the
dancers.
Curtis Thompson and his Rhyth-
naniacs are at the helm, serving
their brand of dance music which
is always popular with dance lovers.
Dancing is offered each evening
from $3.50 to 1880 o'clock.

the Loew Square dedication as a
civic event, Borough President
Henry Hestering presiding with the
board of aldermen and Mayor
Walker of New York City and other
noted men making speeches.
David Warheld and Louis Mann,
originally associated with Marcus
Loew years ago, were among those
paying tribute to Mr.. Loew.
In a resolution by the board of
aldermen it was explained that
Loew Square was named lin mem

A parade four miles long, with
military and naval banks; thou
