Cities Should Co-operate in Emulating Boston, Says Chicago Critic. Pacific Phone Marshall 480O Home Phone A 6231 SAN FRANCISCO HAS LEADER Visitor Sees Future for Western Musical Organization Formed and Supported by United Effort. "Its symphony orchestra has mads Chicago a more enjoyable place In -which to live. People in the Far West ought to hear more symphony music. There is room along the Pacific Coast for one symphony orchestra and only one. The San Francisco Symphony Or chestra ought to be for the Pacific Coast what the Boston Symphony Or chestra is for the whole of New Eng land particularly Massachusetts." The speaker was Charles. French, president and general manager of the Musical Leader Publishing Company, of Chicago, who. with Mrs. French and Miss French, is the guest of Miss Eml lie Frances Bauer and her brother, Cecil H. Bauer, of this city. Mr. French is an acknowledged musical authority and he has largely shaped the present musical history of Chi cago. Mr. French is Irish, and Mrs. French English, but they are in per fect accord, they and their family, in their sincere Americanism. Mr. French is also known as the president of the Irish Fellowship Club, of Chicago, the club that began the work in this coun try of "splitting the hyphen" in the naturalization question and making all foreign-born citizens plain Americans. "I believe in the educational and spiritual influences of first-class sym phony music," continued Mr. French. "In the regular music season we have symphony concerts in Chicago each week. I have kept note of the sym phony orchestra question in this city, and am glad to know that the venture has been so successful on the basis of co-operation and all conductors elect ed by ballot from the membership." Portland Scheme Interest. t"I have been especially interested to hear of the admission, without charge, of high school children and children from the higher grades of grammar schools, to the rehearsals of the Port land Symphony Orchestra before each concert," said Mrs. French, who is edi tor of the Musical Leader. "This is a new idea for symphony orchestras, one which I shall bring to the attention of those interested when we return to the East." "What plan would you propose to popularize the question of symphony orchestras along the Pacific Coast?" was asked of Mr. French. "Well, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra has made a very good be ginning, in engaging as conductor Al fred Hertz, lately orchestra leader of the New York Metropolitan Orchestra, at a salary of $10,000 for one year," re plied Mr. French. "Now, probably no other city along the Pacific Coast could better that position. What would be the use, then, of trying to duplicate another expensive symphony orches tra in this part of the country? Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle should club together on this symphony question and look upon the San Francisco symphony as a friend, rather than as an opponent. The San Francisco Orchestra might give con certs In Los Angeles. Portland and Se attle, along with the symphony or chestras of these cities one at a time. Or symphony orchestras from Port land. Los Angeles and Seattle might play at intervals in San Francisco, along with the San Francisco orches tra. Local Condoctor Needed. "I Rm glad to see merit recognized in the present Portland Symphony Or chestra by electing members to be conductors," said Mrs. French. "By that plan one great conductor might be evolved in Portland, as Frederick Stock was elevated from his position as an ordinary member of the Chicago Theodore Thomas Symphony Orches tra, to be its conductor. Once this one big Portland conductor has been de termined upon, the symphony ques tion in this city will be clearer." - . , I ' - 'if N ;.'
