hath charms to soothe the economically
depressed.
Under the pressure Of economic
worry, the average man turns to the
arts for relaxation entertainment and
permanent life values" Arthur Judson,
manager Of the New York Philharmonic
and Philadelphia Orchestras and prest-
dent OF Columbia Concerts Corporation,
said today.
He frds proof Of this in the IS per
cent advance in bookings Of the con-
cert corporation for 1872. A SYM
postum from local concert managers all
over the country reveals q definite In
crease In public interest in concerts.
So New Cities Join.
Since January /, 1891, s6 new cities
have become afiliated with the ma
ttonal community concert service. Each
city's course represents the engagement
Of one to six artists.
Arthur j. Gaines of the st. Louis
Symphony Orchestra reported 10 per
cent increase in subscriptions. The

Subscriptions to the Los Angeles

Orchestra are ahead of last year.

music will suffer least of all entertain
ment enterprises this year" said Stuart
NJ Thompson OF the Cincinnati SYM
phony Orchestra.
New, cash business Of the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra shows an increase
Of l0l per cent.
Good Music Is Staple.
other cities representing optimistic
reports were Cleveland, Rochester,
Syracuse, Washington, Richmond, Va;
Reading, Pa; indianapolis, Winnipeg
and Hartford, Conn.
"Ail this proves" said Mr.. Judson,
shat good music is now staple Of
American life and not luxury.
Ten years ago q survey Of this coun-
try showed that less than one-haf OF
per cent Of the population was inter-
ested in good music. Today the growth
in music courses, community concert
towns, symphony orchestraS and the
development of an enormous public
which listens regularly to the broad
casts of the finest music. make 1t
logical to estimate the potential music
audience Of the country as per cent
Of the adult public"
