Speaker Nicholas Longworth, chairman of the orchestra committee, will soon call a meeting, according to a statement r:ade by Frank Frost, president of the orchestra, to be- gin a campaign to place the fu- ture of this organization on a firm financial foundation. The edu- cational and entertainment val- ues of such an institution as a symphony orchestra in Washing- ton should be almost limitless. Already on€ prominent citizen of Philadelphia has offered $1,000 toward the project, provided Washingtonians will match him| in sufficient number to make a practical fund. Mr. Kindler has mentioned $100,000 a year for five years as the absolutely necessary smount. It is a very conservative estimate, as the costs of symphony orchestras go. There is a long list of prominent g‘w 1e living here who have lent names, with no further ob- ligation, for the programs of these concerts this Spring. It would seem up to them to form the practical nucleus of an asso- clation of financial guarantors for this effort. iR I'A' is doubly, or perhaps one should say triply, difficult to create interest that counts in a new large musical groug. Within the past five years there have| been two different but definite efforts to establish large organi- sations for musical performances in Washington. Neither was thoroughly successful. Both took a great deal of money from indi- viduals who were willing to sup- port such endeavors to a reason- able extent and for a reasonable length of time. Although there were loyal supporters for both projects, who still lament their decease, the majority of music lovers and others who are really interested in such things seem to have let these former projects alip painlessly into oblivion. Naturally, this newest preject meets with a multiplied degree of skepticism. This is unfortu- nate. Never before has the whole combination of conditions seemed 80 well calculated to success. The situation on the part of the musi- cians who have formed the or- chestra is such that they are wil- ling to give utmost co-operation to make this orchestra a success. They have proved it in the way that speaks most eloquently. They have sacrificed money that they could not afford to give up unless it were to mean real success to them and a permanent organi- zation that would, in time, con- stitute their chief form of income. ‘They have gambled in the true pioneer spirit. Mr. Frost, their president, is an American who has loved music from childhood, who has wrested wealth from the earth itself in mining and who has lent more than a helping hand to this group of Washington musicians, whose pluck aroused his complete inter- est. Mr. Frost is making this city his home now, and many people who love music "have already heard beautiful music in the at- tractive music room of his home on Normanstone Drive. Just last Sunday evening Mr. Kindler, con- ductor of the new orchestra last week, who first became world re- nowned as a cellist, gave a de- lightful program of music on that instrument there. Mr. Kindler, too, wants to make this city his home, to bring his family here and to build up an organization that he believes is so much great- er a work than the giving of con- certs by an individual artist. * Wk ok - !I‘HE radio is daily arousing more interest in the best music. Hardly a day goes by that the writer of this column doesn't hear . some one remark: “I only turn on the radio nowadays when I know there is going to be good orches- tra music or a really fine singer.” Still, there is nothing equal to the hearing of an orchestra first hand in the concert hall. Mr. Frost told of -how he was fmpressed ‘when, in Los geles, he found many thousands gath- ered nightly in the Huge Holly- wood Bowl for orchestra concerts. Many of those seats are only 25 cents apiece. It is the aim of this new orchestra in Washington to i In the May issue of a leading magazine, Mr. Taylor has said, in part: “The Fall and Winter of 1919 were a critical period in the exist- ence of the Philadelphia Orches- {tra. In that famous post-war year it became obvious that the orchestra's annual deficit, which | the backers had for a decade been | meeting out of their own pockets, | | was about to rise to staggering lhelghts. with slight prospect ol! | ever coming down again, even | after the war. | “The directors were in despair. | The backers were already carry- |ing as heavy a load as they could bear, income from seat subscrip- | tions was not within shouting dis- tance of expenditures and there was no endowment. For an anx- jous week or so it began to look as 1if the magnificent orchestra, already recognized as one of the world’s greatest, might have to disband. “And then, like the arrival of the American gunboat in a South American movie, help came. The directors announced that a wealthy Philadelphian, who pre- ferred to be known only as the unknown donor, had offered to meet the orchestra’s deficit for a period of five years if the back- ers would agree to convert their accustomed annual contribution into the nucleus of an endowment fund. Not only was the orchestra saved, but the endowment be- came a permanent actuality. Ed- ward W. Bok had just retired from a 30 years’' career as a magazine editor and was embarking upon a second career as a philanthrop- ist and citizen of the world. He became chairman of the Phila- delphia Orchestra’s endowment fund committee, with the avowed purpose of raising $1,000,000 by popular subscription. “There is no space here to tell how it was done; suffice it to say that Bok did it. He secured sub- scriptions from 12,000 Philadel- $1,700,000, which sum, added to the amount contributed by the backers, meant that the Philadel- phia Orchestra would never again have to pass the hat to meet its deficit. * * * His name is one upon the distinguished list of generous Americans to whom American music owes such a heavy debt— names like Higginson of Boston, Taft of Cincinnati, Severance of Cleveland, Clarke of Los Angeles; Flagler, McKay. Kahn and Lewi- sohn of New York; Eastman of Rochester. It was Horace who. boasted that in his ‘Odes’ he had reared himself a monument that would outlast brass or bronze. Ed- ward Bok is buried beneath the crypt of the Bok Tower, which, as monuments go, seems a reasonably .solid and permanent one. I have an idea that his real monument— what he did for music and the other arts and for the city of Philadelphia—will be standing a long time after the tower has crumbled into disuse.” Special D.
