Renard to appear as soloist today, Dr. Hans Kindler is confident that her Spanish tempera- ment will be an important factor in emphasizing all the beauties of De Falla’s “Nights in a Garden of Spain.” Society is also centering interest on the personal appearance of Philip James, young American composer, who will conduct his overture based on French neels. Mr. James first came into prominence 10 years ago when his compositions attracted the conduc- tors of symphony orchestras. He has lately been identified with radio. In 1932 he won the N. B.

Renard and music from distant lands which Dr. Kindler has included in the program promise novelty and variety in the last concert of the or- | chestra this year.
