day at the closing convention ses-
sion in the North Methodist Episco-

Mrs. Curtis Hodges said that al
! though it had been years since these
lectures were given. they carried a

The organization did not limit it
self to happening Old Demon Rum,
but expressed alarm over the exist

Ludlow Proposal Is Endorsed
Declaring that wars are made by
dictators and selfish capitalists, Rep
Louis Ludlow said:
ct is easy enough for these people
/ to build up a vicious system of
propaganda and force Congress into
declaring war. just as they did in
1917. People who suffer its horrors
should decide whether they want
American boys to die horrible deaths
on foreign battle fields,
The convention Endorsed his pro-
posed constitutional amendment
which would provide for referen-
dunn on war except in cases Of &C
tual invasion.
Members were urged to study pub
lie issues and to make a drive for
clean politics. I'VE look with alarm

Constitution whenever it seems to
interfere with political eXpendiency

The organization urged the adop-

BY CHARLES c. STONE
Times stan Writer.


Approximately so men and women
obey the baton Of Ferdinand Schae-
fer. conductor of the Indianapolis
Symphony Orchestra. which had
but so members when 1t was formed
five years ago
The growth numerically has been
matched in musical advancement.
Included on last years program, the
fifth in the orcheStra's history. we're
such compositions as the overture
from "Mignon": Dvorak'S Symphony
No. in E minor. The Candle Dance
of the Brides of Kashmir." from
"FermorS. and ''Toreador ct Anda-
louise from Bal Costume
Back in 1881. the orchestra pro-
gram for the season included Rubin
STEMS Concerto No. 4 in D minor
for piano and orchestra. for which
Rudolph Reuter-. famous concert
pianist, donated his time and talents
as guest artist.
Provide Concerts for Pupils
Early concerts Of the group we're
given in Caleb Mills Hall but for the
last two seasons the spacious Murat
Theater has been occupied.
Notable among the orcheStras
contributions have been four con-
certs each season for children, to
which school pupils of the city
either were admitted free or upon
payment of a nominal sum.
In keeping with the aim to make
the orchestra an sll-Indiana organ
ization, it has presented programs
in Muncie, Lafayette and Blooming
ton, and with outstanding success.
Return engagements have been
played as often as three times.
The trend to better music in
America. quite evident in the last
few years in radio and motion pic
lures, is reflected in the ambitious
program of expansion for the Indi-
annapolis orchestra.
Confident of success in the annual
symphony society membership cam
paign to open next Tuesday. must
clans of wider experience than are
available in indianapolis have been
engaged for key positions in the or
cheStra and two soloists of national
fame will appear at two of the
concerts.
Officers of the symphony society
point out that unless the campaign
is successful to the extent OF bring
ing its membership up to 1000, there
can be no progress beyond the OBJ
jectives set for the 1935-1936 season.
Better Programs Likely
Construction of a municipal audi
forum and an open air theater for
indianapolis has reached the stage
of serious consideration. In either.
the symphony orchestra would have
! the opportunity of giving greater
public service than possible hereto
fore.
An open air theater would provide
opportunity for presentation of the
lighter forms of good music. The
auditorium would be suited to pro-
grams of still better music.
In either case, musicians are
agreed that a capable symphony
orchestra is absolutely essential, and
point out that often great artists in
varied lines of music are attracted
to that city which can provide suit
able orchestral background for their
efforts.
