BY E. de S. MELCHER.

\ ton is to have symphony orchestra
of its own has at last been settled
Monday afternoon at Constitution
Hall as complete an example of
faith in undertaking as could be
imagined. The audience, composed it must be
admitted partly of doubters. went out into that
early evening with more enthusiasm evident on
its sleeve than has been witnessed in any event
of this season, or the last, the last before
the last. The air was full of hopes and the
fears which had been mustered for the occasion
were trampled completely underfoot.
Mr.. Kinder has done it, and the orchestra
has done it, and so have the executive COM
mittee and the other thousand and one people
who helped in the various maneuverings While
it is, of course evident that the orchestra, now
that it has found its first solid footing, will
tread even more gracefully in the future, there
is question but that the first performance
was even better than had been anticipated
As great as have been the cheers around and
about locally, there have been words of the
highest praise from sources as far of even as
New York. Among the more impressive EVIL
dences of triumph which this group may lay
at its orchestral door, is the news which Mrs.
Walter Bruce Howe volunteers.
1t seems that Mr.. Kinder had scarcely
reached his home (the Arts Club-where he
found his room filled with howers-an exceed
ingly pleasant act on the part of the clubs MEM
bers who had only few minutes before elected
him an artist member) when he was called to
the telephone and found that member of the
New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Mr.. Roe
lofsma, was congratuating him on his great
success. This congratulation was rather more
distinctive than perhaps many others, since Mr..
Roelofsma admitted that he had listened to
the concert only over the radio. He said, how
ever, that as he listened without benefit of an
introduction to what orchestra it was) he
wondered If it was the Philadelphia Orchestra
or the Chicago-and that he was so intrigued
by the performance that at the conclusion he
called up to find out which one it was from the
broadcast station. To his amazement, of course
he found that it was the baptsmal appearance
OF the National Symphony Orchestra of WASH
ngton, d. c., and surprised was he to find
that such was the case that he couldn't refrain
from calling up Mr.. Kinder on the long dis
lance phone. pretty nice thing all around.
This is an example of the many encouraging
events which took place after the concert It
proves just what Washington has been hoping
that 1t would prove-namely, that when the
local engines start working there is nothing to
stop them-Or rather that now that the or
chestral engine Is steamng ahead full blast its
path will be q steady one uphill-and there
viii be plenty Of power behind it--not only
through its musical insides but through the adj
ditional power of the citizens all around and
about it.
