Picture this scene Of the realization
o. a long -hoped-for project. A per-
feet moon in a perfect sky, undis-
turbed by any remnants of the after
noon storm, a brilliantly lighted shell,
with musicians garbed in Summer
attire, sending out a bright ref1ec-
tion into the faces of happy, intor-
NAL multitude, the drone of passing
airships above, and the reflection OF
lights in the moving waters below.

to the stage, to look the orchestra

A THRILL such as no former Sum-

poignant melodies Of Cesar Franck.

music of Belgium's musical saint.
Surely his famed symphony held an
other meaning heard with the COOP
Grafton of nature in the unfolding Of
its inner essence.
Music for every taste was on the
program, giving something to satisfy
the mind and heart in the beginning
and finishing with joyous melodies that
lifted the mood of the listeners from
too great seriousness again to the holi-
day feeling. And in the planning was
fresh evidence Of DR.. Kindler's SYM
pathy with what his audience might
desire.
First came the overture to Wagner's
die Meistersinger," noble, sonorous,
and calculated to stir the blood. No
more ideal major work for such an
occasion could have been chosen than
the Symphony in D Minor" by Cesar
Franck, which followed. The haunting
beauty Of those magic melodies, which
occur again and again, flung their

far moon, and the quiet sky, to be
followed by the heart questioning OF

"Once nominated. she can be elected.

Sex appeal would probably be an
