WORLD OF MUSIC

A new deal" Is in store for the
Philadelphia Symphony OrcheS-
ira.
Subscribers to the famed or.
chestra have been summoned by
the board Of directors to attend
a meeting on January 80, which
will mark one of the most drastic
shakeups the organization has
ever had.
These changes win be made, it
was understood, following a series
of conferences between the board
and DR.. Leopold Stokowski. the
noted conductor who recently re-
signed after more than 20 years
service.
Reduced Board
The most important change in
wolves the board itself. The mem.
bership, now "a, is to be ma
terially reduced, and members of
the orchestra and the young con-
cert group are to have representa-
ton on the board.
DR.. Stokowski has long criti-
cized the board as unwieldy in
size and not representative.
In view Of the projected
changes, it was though quite
likely that DR.. Stokowski might
reconsider his resignation and
once again head the organization
which he has led to world fame.
At any rate, washington audi
ences will hear him conduct
with the orchestra again, for he
has agreed to come as a guest
conductor for the first three
months Of the next season.
Just before leaving for his home
in California. DR.. StokowSki stated
that he believed that all differ
ences between the board of direc.
tors and himself would be salts
factorily settled, and that he
hoped to- be with the orchestra
again next season.
Conducting in Tokyo
One of the moot questions still
to be settled is as to whether DR..
StokowSki will conduct the great
special performance of "Parsifal,"
scheduled for the spring of 1886.

President Roosevelt opposed imme-
