But I could give them outdoor music, down by the waterfront, where it would be cool,” says Kindler. The name “Water Gate” (origi- nally given to that landing area where foreign diplomats and other|’ world dignitaries could be greeted with fitting ceremony) fascinated Kindler. He went down to that stretch of lawn that slopes from the Lincoln Memorial to the Po- tomac. He saw the possibility of putting his orchestra on a barge just beyond the ringside. And the staff counted on a maximum cf 2,000 persons for that first boom- town concert. Nearly 15,000 came. Kindler gives them soloists like glamorous Jessica Dragonette, smouldering Elsie Houston, and those soprano lovelies, Lucy Mon- roe and Virginia Johnson. He also gives them Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Strauss, and Mozart. EVERYBODY GOES If you went there tonight, you might see President Roosevelt and a White House party. You would and ladies.
