than 1000 people to the river bank
amphitheater during the six-week sea-
son. The first half Of the programs
will consist of standard symphonic
works, such as the Beethoven SYM
phonies and similar compositions. The
latter half of the evening will be
devoted to lighter, more popular music,
such as Strauss waltzes.
IT Is expected to give modern Amer
ican popular music its due in an
evening Of the Ferde Grofe type. DR..
Kinder also suggested recently the
possibility Of ballet performance to
try out the new shell as stage. The
shell, differing in construction from
that used In 1885, will be rectangular
in design and large enough to permit
the staging Of ballet or opera. Place
ment of the shell at distance Of 80
feet from the shore, about 10 feet
farther out than it was previously will
improve sight lines from the sides of
the amphitheater and the general
acoustical effect of the music.

superfine technical equipment of
