Judging by the marvellous recep-
ton given him and the orchestra
the program he selected Sunday
night hit the spot with the thous-
ands of listeners. Mr.. Wallen-
stein has selected another pro-
gram of the same high artistic
standard for Wednesday night.
The concert will open with
Weber'S overture to der Fret

Schumann'S Concerto in A Minor

Norton, pianist, who has appeared
as SoloiSt with a number of the

gram will include, Les Preludes"

Grant StilD; "Perpetuum Mobile"
and Emperor Waltzes" Johann

"Semiramide" (RoSSini).
BY way of contrast, one might

cannot find the time in which to
get married.
Miss PonS has in the past found
many ways to gain time, such as
dividing her concert rictalS with
a Violinist or violoncelliSt. Her re-
sourcefulness in gaining time from
audiences might be applied to
this case. We have always heard
