WUNICIPALITY FOR " FESTIVALOF MUSIG San Francisco City Government Sponsored Successiul Enterprise | San Francisco , May 2—The city government of San Francisco appar-x ently has sponsored successfully an| enterprise unusual for a municlpal- ity, a spring music festival, which has | just closed. The board of supv:ru-‘ sors plans to make the festival ‘”’1 annual event, with the city guaran-| teeing the expense of promoting it. | For the purpose the city is in pert- | rership with the musical society of San Francisco, which is the organiza- tion back of the San Francisco sym- | phony orchestra, the musical nhcleus of the festival. | This spring the festival consisted .of | four concerts, held in the Civic Au- ditorium, which seats 10,000, It is estimated that the audiences of the four concerts aggregated 36,000, Prices were “popular.” The festival came at the close of the regular symphony season, and the orchestra director, Alfred Hert: was conductor of the festival con certs, which he planned and ar ranged. The symphony orchestra | was augmented by a chorus of more than 500 men and women, recruited locally and trained over a period of | months. Several soloists, including Mario Chamlee, Claire Dux, Merle Al- cock and Clarence Whitehill, operatic | singers, were engaged. The auditor-| jum organ was an added instrument | in several of the programs. The climax of the festival, coming on the night of the last concert, was a presentation of Beethoven's ninth symphony, held by eritics gencrally to | be the greatest symphonic composi- tion. The performance was a centen- | nial celebration of the work, since it first was given in Vienna in the| spring of1824, Beethoven worked on it eleven years, during most of which time he was entirely deaf, He di- rected its initial performance and had to be pushed around facing the au- dience before he knew of the thun- derous applause that came ,at the close. The San Franclsco allvllenu, after a century, was hardly less e thusiastic. Cheers awelled th: plause, Acting Mayor Ralpk Leran, presenting Director Hertz a laurel wreath, promised the 000 persons who packed the auditor fum that the festival would be held | annually. H The principal features of the other | programs were the ‘“Faust” sym- phony of Liszt and the second sym- Goldenblum Miilinery Co: On the Tomorrow Morning SELECTED TRIMMED H phony of the late Gustav Mahler, who for years was a symphony conducter in New York. The Liszt and Mahler symphonies, like the Beethoven mas- terpiece, utilize the voice if§ chorus and solo in their finales, after the | usual ingtrumental movements. One of the concerts was devoted to selec- l tions from operas. |American Officer Teaches Japanese Cadets to Box Tokia, May 2.—Captain Warren J. | Clear, United States army, 'attached | to the American ‘Embassy here, has | taken charge of a class in boxing for young officers of the Japanese army.
