the work had nothing to do
with its merit, about which
he was enthusiastic, but about
economics. The toccata is
both extremely difficult and
unfamiliar, and it would take
a disproportionate amount of
expensive and limited re-
hearsal time. AS a matter of
fact, the Woollen piece. IL
minutes long, was rehearsed
for a hour and three quarters
in each of three two hour and
a half sessions.
Few will deny that the effort
and time were not misspent,
for no orchestra not entirely
deadent should kill a new
work merely because of dollars.

BY DAY THORPE

Mr.. Walter Afford. press
agent for Cat On a Hot Tin
Roof" was in town last week.
Finding, / suppose. that the
play was in need Of not too
strenuous endeavors in the
way of promotion, and aware
that the Boston Symphony,
whose sterling virtues he also
vaunts, will give a concert
here next week, he dropped in
to tell me Of the trip the Or
chestra took to Russia in
AUGUST.
No American orchestra had
hitherto played in Russia. and
few American musicians of
any kind had made an appear
ance there. Isaac Stern and
Jan Peerce had returned the
courtesy calls of Oistrach and
Gilels, but in general the
Russian music lover knew
nothing whatever about the
concert life of the United
States.
Tour Long Desired
A year or so ago, at the
time OF the great rapprocne-
ment between the two coun-
tries at the Geneva Conven-
ton, Howard Taubman, music
editor of the New York Times,
suggested to the Board of d.
rectors of the Boston SYM
phony that it would be a fine
gesture if the orchestra would
make a Russian tour. A Eu-
ropean tour had already been
planned. and the symphony
agreed that it would be de-
lighted to add Russia to the
itinerary if expense money
could be found and If an invi-
tation were extended by the
Soviet government. Money

BY BOB WILLIAMS

Eddie Dano, singer recently
signed by Vik Records. is prov
ing that patience and persist
ence really do pay off.
In 1855, the young man left
Philadelphia for New York.
where he took a job in RCA
Victor'S catalog department,
hoping that eventually he
would be discovered. He got his
chance six months later at the
company's Christmas party.
when he managed to sing a
couple of numbers. Victor'S
artists and repertoire staffmen
advised him to study and to
work out the kinks in the
smaller night spots around the
country. He followed directions
and then reported back to Vic
tor at the end of this past
summer. He was Immediately
signed to a Vik Records con-
tract CVik is a subsidiary Of
RCA Victor.
To top it off, Eddie appeared
recently on the Howard Miller
disc jockey show, where Law
renee Welk saw him, and was
invited to appear on Weeks
show the following week. Also,
fellow Vik artist and band
leader Richard Maltby mean
while signed Eddie for a 10
week tour with his band as a

NEWS OF MUSIC
Russian Tour Thrills
Boston Symphony

Korsakoff had shown no in
terest in hearing an orchestra
from the land Of Stephen Fos-
ter and Gottschalk.
Applause Lasts 10 Minutes
BY the time the orchestra
reached Helsinki, however,
word came from the Kremlin
that if the Boston Symphony
would play in Leningrad and
Moscow. Russia would pay all
expenses and give the musi-
clans pocketfuls Of rubles for
spending money. A govern
ment plane was sent to Hell
sinki to shuttle the orchestra
and its retinue to Leningrad
in three flights.
Charles Munich chose for his
first program the Eroica, the
Piston Sixth and the Second
Daphnis and Chloe Suite. The
small and beautiful hall Of
the Leningrad Conservatory
was filled with an audience
which broke into a pande-
monium of applause lasting 10
minutes. After the concert
Munich was recalled to the
stage even after the orchestra
had been dismissed.
Mr.. Afford knew nothing of
the makeup Of the audience,
since all tickets were sold or
distributed by the Russian
government. He thinks that
probably the man in the street
was not present. that gov
eminent officials and con-
servatory students were the
principal listeners. All of the
big Russian musicians whose
names are known in the West
were there-Gliere, the DIS
trachs, Rostropovitch, Gilels,
Shostakovitch.
The Ravel, which is, Of
course, one of the great show
pieces of the Boston SYM
phony, and one of the most
widely admired works of mod
ern music, was entirely UNI
known in Russia and made
a tremendous success. Opin-
ion seemed to be split
in regard to the Piston
Symphony, as indeed it is in
this country. During its tour
the symphony refrained from
playing any Russian music,
not wanting to beard the lion,
or, to improve the metaphor,
SINCE the bear.
BOundless Interest Shown
Both in Leningrad and later
in Moscow (the Boston SYM
phony gave five concerts all
told in RUSSIA the local or
chestral musicians treated
their guests with the great
est kindness, and showed
boundless interest in what was
for them an almost unbeliev-
able phenomenon. They knew
of Koussevitsky, of course
(Mr. Afford says that most
were surprised to learn that
he was dead, but they were
astounded to find that the
United States had f1rst-class
orchestra. The excellence of
Western orchestral instru-
ments made the Russians po-
litely covetous, and the Bos-
tonianS left with their hosts
all the mouthpieces, reeds,
strings and other accessories
they could spare.
Two members of the Boston
Symphony are Russian born,
and many others are only a
single generation away from
the old country. For these.
the trip was a sentimental
journey. When the Russians
dropped the orchestra of at
Prague. there were few of its
members. according to Mr..
Afford, who did not feel that
the excitement and stimula-
ton of the trip had been
caused by something much
more vital and moving than
mere music-making.

greeting - and smile. This happens all the

started, but happy hello is a tradition among
boatmen.
Now what's back on land? You sit in bus
or subway and see grim, unsmiling, worried
faces. Everyone is drawn into his shell. You
feel so alone. Your face, too. unconsciOusly
becomes as grim as the Others.
You walk along the streets. People rush by
with the same set faces and worried looks.
There are no greetings.
It's different on the water. There, they wave
at you and smile. You don't feel alone any
more You feel wanted and liked. Do you see
what I'm driving at?
There's more. Your car breaks down on the
open road. Other automobiles stream past,
but not one in hundred stops to help. In
fact, many drivers mutter under their breath
at you for slowing them down.
On the water, if your engine conks out, the
people in the very next boat that passes will stop
and lend hand. You get started and wave
farewell You cruise off with the feeling that
