WOMEN CONCERTS
PERMANENT PLAN
Orchestra Conducted by
Aaxnia Brico in New York
Meets Success.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September l.. New
York seems likely to have permanent
orchestra of women, after all. The
idea has been tried many times, and
hitherto 1t has not succeeded for
very long.
The conductor is Aaxnia Brico.
Last Winter she announced a series
of three concerts by an orchestra
entirely of women. Eyebrows went
up, but so did ticket sales.
At the end of the short series last
Spring, Miss Brico announced q
second season, this time Of six con-
certs, and in Carnegie Hall instead
of the smaller Town Hall. Again
eyebrows went up. They are still up,
but they are In for fall.
Because, say those behind the
movement, the concerts will be given
as scheduled, beginning in November,
and there will be audiences for them.
A large and important committee has
got behind the indefatigable Miss
Brico, Women's clubs all through the
metropolitan area are getting benind
the committee, and everybody feels
sure Of success.
Chief Reason Financial.
The chief reason they are sure is
q financial one. With a modesty
almost unique, Miss Brico, her man.
ager, and her advisers, have scaled
down the necessary budget to the
point where a sold out Carnegie Hall
will pay all the expenses. They want
only to sell tickets, not collect large
sums for the retirement of large
deficits.
Obviously there are no large
salaries. Miss Brico is content with
what would doubtless seem pinmoney
to Arturo Toscanini. The players
some of whom lug their instruments
long distances for the three weekly
rehearsals, are paid the union rate
for their work. and no more. There
is as little window dressing as pos
sible, which is great saving in city
where putting up a front is sc
dendlShly expensive.
Most of what Miss Brico has dont
seems to have been accomplished pe-

She believes in herself-in he
ability, that is. She does not cart
much about clothes, she does no

She believes, too, in musica

she is not a feminist.
Il should like to see women ad-

Attendance at the Thanksgiving

the change having been suggested
by Rev. o. c. Crow, pastor Of the

In his sermon on BLESSINGS OF
Depression Rev. McElroy declared
that in the pre-depression days the
people OF America placed too great
emphasis on the things that could
be bought with money. The people
were getting soft and selfish, he
said.
With the coming Of the depres-
sion, the people OF the nation were
carried back TO days resembling
the pioneering era in the nation
where they had to struggle against
odds. and where they were forced
TO the realization that the BLESSINGS
Of life 7 not things that can be
bought with money-but health,
honesty, self respect, and character,
he declared.
The joint service was opened by
