The happy circumstance
that saved Carnegie Hall as

Isaac Stern and the role that
the famous violinist played
In saving the hall.
Carnegie Halls history is
mainly musical. Walter Dam

Tchaikovsky appeared on It's
opening programs and every
artist Of stature In the last
half century has considered
his Carnegie Hail concert the
measure Of his artistic stand
ing. It has been the home Of
the New York Philharmonic
Symphony orchestra for a
long time. The history Of the
hall Is largely, therefore,
musical but it has been used
for other purposes and Mr..
Schickel has performed Q

that they are as varied as
