In the Columbia Symphony Mandolin

part in symphonic works that usually
are allotted to the stringed choirs. The
banjos replace the brasses and q small
group OF wind instruments fill the re-
naming part to give a balanced, yet
extremely delicate and intriguing, tone
color to this unusual orchestra. At
present the orchestra Is literally In its
infancy, and last night the works played
were very simple, chiefly Russian in
character. However, it is Mr.. Papas'
plan to enlarge and develop his 16 in
strumentalists into an orchestra capable
of playing an arrangement of the Sym

finished Symphony" Of Schubert.
