Stokowski Speaks.

ITO ME it seems We have played as
l. well as we have ever played in all
the scores of times we have performed
these works before concert. radio and
record audiences throughout the
United States" said Leopold Stokow-
ski recently of the first motion picture
work of himself and his symphony
orchestra.
"Yet I know" continued the world
famed conductor, there are people.
seriously devoted to the finest in
music, who will find it incongruous
that Stokowski and his symphony or
chestra appear in lights alongside
Benny Goodman and his swing band
in theater marques advertising The
Big Broadcast of 1887
To both-the people who are
pleased, and those who are apprehen-
sive at this news-I say: Wait! Let
the proof of the pudding be In the
eating. Let your eyes and ears judge
the value of this venture for the fu-
ture of music and films alike. I am
appealing to the record-the record
which will be seen and heard by mil
lions of people throughout the world
Now I can say only what our debut
in films will show. We have chosen
from the best in music literature two
works of the great master. John Sc
bastian Bach.
THE slender sound track at the side
of The Big Broadcast of 1897 carries
in light and shade a portion of the
best performance nearly l20 musicians
and myself can give.
Then comes the important ques-
ton of the camera. What is there
interesting to see in the spectacle of
full symphony orchestra at work?
There is music in itself to watch.
Remember that in the finest SYM
phony halls, only a few fortunate
members Of the audience are SO sit
uated that they can watch the musi-
clans at work. Then know that in
our scenes in The Big Broadcast of
1897 the camera does what the eye
of an eager, interested listener would
do. 1t follows the music from one sec
ton of the orchestra to another.
Il believe that even the musically
inexperienced among film audiences
will be able to follow the absorbing
structure of symphonic playing better
than they could otherwise do, thanks
to the insatiably curious camera
which can see where it will, when it
will"
