Orchestra
Is Recast
>Stokowski Adopts
Sensational
Stage Idea

Leopold Stokowski, who spent Au-
gust and September in California
working with Walt Disney on a new
film and giving concerts at the San
Francisco Fair as we'll as in Holly
wood, recently returned to Phila-
delphia to rehearse the Philadelphia
Orchestra in programs for a short
tour on the East Coast which in
cludeS one concert in Washington
Tuesday, November %, at 8:45
o'clock at Constitution Hall.
The audience at this event is
promised rare surprise when they
see the orchestra assembled on the
stage, for Mr.. Stokowski has made
radical changes in the rearrange-
ment of the musicians, completely
smashing the traditional idea. He
already has tried it out in concerts
in Philadelphia and it has aroused
much comment.
He has switched the back players
to the front There is, as usual,
method behind the seeming madness
of this progressive musical leader.
The new arrangement is made ac-
cording to scientific plans developed
by Mr.. StokoWski and acoustical
engineers.
The strings all will be back
against the reflector (or shelD, as
they are the weakest instruments Of
the orchestra and therefore will be
placed in the position where their
tones will receive the greatest
amount of reflection. The stringed
BASES will be against the rear wall
of the reflector and the other strings
will be grouped about them in
massed effect. At the front of the
stage the loudest instruments will
be seated, with the wood-wind in
strumentS in a curve in the center,
the horns and tympani on the right
side from the audience) and the
| trumpets, trombones and tuba on
the left. The wood-winds will face
! the audience. but the instruments
on either side of the curve will. re-
| spectively, face right and left. The
! amount of reflection, will be placed
at the rear with the stringed in
! Struments.
One can always trust Stokowski,
master Snowman as we'll as
master musicion, to do the spectacu-
lar thing, and this breaking of a
| traditional arrangement of orchestra
| is just as radical in its way as Sto-
| kowski's earnest promotion of ultra
modern music and unique l5-minute
| opera of previous years. The music
| to be given here week from Tues
day night will be from conservative
classics-a Handel overture, Mo-
zart symphony, Bachs gorgeous
"Passacaglia" and the delicate
charm of Debussys clair de Lune,"
as we'll as Mr.. Stokowski's new ar
rangement of Moussorgsky's Pic
lures at an Exhibition" 1t is the
new orchestral arrangement of the
men themselves that piques the
curiosity of music lover and musi-
clan alike this time.
Reservations can be had at the
box office in Jordan's music store,
1899 G street NV.
Tickets also can be had for the
three other Philadelphia Orchestra
events-January 2, when Menuhin,
violinist, will be soloist; February
q. when Artur Rubinstein. pianist,
will play with the orchestra, and
April 2, when it is anticipated there
will be surprise" soloist Eugene
Ormandv will conduct all three of
these and it is not known vet if, at
those times, he will employ Mr..
Stokowski's new arrangement of the
orchestra or not.
