Ideal weather is in prospect for the Program of the Summer concert series by the National Symphony Orchestra | %0 be held at £ o'clock tonight aboard & Navy barge anchored in the Po-| , $omac River near the Arlington Me- | _morial Bridge water gate. The Weather Bureav last night said in- dications were for a fair. cool day. Construction crews worked in shifts | all during the night to complete the huge sounding board, which will act . #s a giant megaphone to throw the { sound toward the audience, which will . be seated on the parkway near the! sriver, in cheirs on the roadway through the underpasses of the bridge and on the terrace of the Lincoln Memorial. The shell, 60 feet wide and 40 feet deep, is constructed in the shape of a half globe. The most modern amplification equipment has been installed to insure the audience the best tonal qualities of the or- chestra. Tickets Are Available. Those persons who failed to buy| advance tickete for the concert to- | night will be able to purchase their tickets at two booths at the entrances, C. C. Cappel, business manager of the orchestra, said. Under the seating arrangement, the | entire aydience will be formed into & opening concert. fan, spreading out from the sides of the barge. No seats will be outside| the range of the circle. For those| persons who buy tickets for the con-| crete steps of the Memorial terrace, | cushions will be provided by attend- ants. The orchestra management has | asked that pcrsons holding tickets for| the seats along the parkway enter by the lower roacway and those who will be seated in the upper tier of seats to enter by the Lincoln Memorial plaza. Dr. Hans Kindler, musical director, will take the 75 members of his or- chestra aboard the barge this morn- ing for a fina' dress rehearsal to ac-| custom them to the new surround-| ings and also to test out the acous- tics. This is the first time a concert of this kind has ever been attempted here and it is also the first time the National Symphony Orchestra has presented Summer concerts. To Be Gala Occasion. The opening concert will be a gala eccasion in Washington music circles and is expected to attract the city's great and near-great alike.

All seats will be placed during the after- “poon. The chief usher of Constitu- tion Hall, who has been handling con- cert crowds for years, will see to it | that there is 8 minimum of confusion | in seating the expected large audi-| ence. Several policemen will be sta- | tioned around the concert site to direct traffic and to keep down noises which might interfere with the per- formance. Water-to-Shore Program. In addition to the good music to be made available by the orchestra, those who attend will be given an opportunity to see something novel in the way of a concert stage. It will be 8 water-to-shore program. The idea is believed to have been taken orig- inally from the ancient Egyptian entrepreneur who first used a floating | . barge moored off the Niles banks as & platform for his musicians and a | similar idea was used by the Roman | ®mperors. } .

It is claimed by its designers that the shell will deflect the sharpest crescendo without distortion and will transmit the softest pianissimo in its true tonal finest. The loud-speakers give carrying power to the music. These are on either side and above the opening of the shell arch so that the | volume of sound will be brilliantly dis- tributed over the entire front. The inside of the shell will be brilliantly lighted by two rows of lights, one ar- ranged behind the orchestra and the other overhead. | Facilities for Musicians.
