With the first concert in the New York Symphony series a huge success Sunday afternoon, October 15, in Aeolian Hall and the first of the People's Symphony Concerts, with "Christine Miller another success in Carnegie Hall on the same day, the orchestra season may be declared duly open. So successful has Walter Damrosch been with his splendid organization that it has been not only Possible, but necessary, to give a second series, and that In Carnegie Hall, which in itself speaks louder than anything that might be said or written. The enthusiasm with which this emi nent favorite was greeted and the appreciation which was ' accorded the numbers must have been gratifying In the last, degree, because, instead of bringing forward a programme calcu lated to make a popular appeal, Mr. Damrosch turned to the most classical numbers and gave the concert without a soloist. It included Mozart's sym phony in D. which was played with buoyancy, deftness and gave no impres sion of being too massive for the con text nor of being out of date." Mr. Dararopch obviously understood that the simple lines of classicality need perhaps mre rehearsing than the more fcmodern works, and the finish through out was delightlul. One of the most interesting numbers was the 'Slnfonia" or the instrumental interludes from, the cantata by Bach, "Domentca Quasimodogeniti." and the introduction to another Bach cantata, "Ich steh mit einem Fuss in Grabe," both arrangements having: been made by Sam Franko. whose treatment of these ancient themea is In itself masterly. Mr. Franko has always Interested himself In the very old music, and what he .has brought to the concert platform in these arrangements are very grateful in the present era of cacophony. The manner in which they were presented brought forward all the pristine beauty and yet the significant depths of these works. Indeed the Beethoven "Pastorale" symphony sounded more "old-fashioned." if we must bring the word Into things of the art world, than cither Bach or Mozart. It was a lovely pres entation, however, and meant much as an entrance into a series of concerts in which there will be much that Is tur bulent, much that will be beyond the pala of, comprehension and petbapa be yond the boundary line which divides eftectlveness from sensationalism Christine Miller needed no further demonstration that she U a favoriio in ?-,WQYIk th?" tne rePtion accorded her Sunday afternoon at Carnegie Hall when she appeared as soloist with the Peoples Sympony Orchestra under di rection of F. X. Arens. Again it is un necessary to emphasize what remark able work has been done by this con ductor In the way of bringing good .W TaBe-earner "d music student at nominal prices. Mr Arena. ;ifUwr Jhan many other realizes that the best way to interest this wide pub lic in concerts and in masterpieces is -hVu .S,V '.V0 them like something which is worth nothing better thun to be given away, but to place It within their means and make them feel that the "workman is worthy of his hire " It was a fine concert and an interest ing programme which was given to an audience that nearly filled Carnegie Hall and it was greatly enhanced by the beautiful vocalism of Miss Miller whose voice seemed bigger and lovelier than ever before. As interpreter, tgo this eminent singer has gained much and her lights and shades, her penetra tion into the spirit of such songs as Brahms' "Staendohen" and the more vigorous one, "Der Schmied." showed mai ane naa ue understanding; o trasts. she also sang an old Irish mel ody. "Bendemeer's Stream." and a love ly, graceful song by her clever accom panist. Frank Bibb, entitled "A Itondel of Spring." The orchestra played Massenet's over ture. "Phaedre." and the ever pleasing "Meditation." from the same composer's "Thais." in which a most excellent vio lin obligato was heard. Mr. Alens was perhaps over lavish in his offerings, as they also included the "Unfinished Sym phony." of Schubert: I.iszt's symphonic poem, "Ies Preludes," and the third Hungarian rhapsody, which ortei ed much to interest the public in the Czimbolom obligato played with fer vor and sweep by Mr. Gross. The first concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Muck were early this season, falling on Thursday evening. November 3. and this afternoon. The programmes included for the opening evening concert Beethoven's "Krolca," the Berlioz over ture "Th Corsair." Liszt's "Mazeppa." and. to reedeem this. Richard Strauss" "Till Eulenspigel." The day for such works as the "Mazeppa" is passing, and In a few eagerly awaited appearances of this great organization, it seems rather a pity to give up a place on the programme to a work of that type. The programme today included Chausson's symphony in B Flat. "A Faust Over ture" by Wagner, while Beethoven and Brahms were represented by unusual numbers, the former by a grand fugue for string orchestra and the latter by variations on a chorale by Haydn. There was no soloist. It is trite to say that Percy tirainger has won a new audience completely and unequivocally, but there may be some novelty in the statement that this Australian pianist, who has become a veritable idol of the American pubii was placed Sunday night where he shared honors with that veteran of versatility and tfood humor. Oscar Ham merstein. Mr. Ciraincer appeared as pianist while Mr. Hammerstein figured on the programme as composer. There was much that was sentimental about the greeting accorded this great im presario, who built the Manhattan Opera-House. in which the regular Sun day night concert under Oscar Splrescu was given, and there was not a little tenderness of feeling manifested for bim in the showers of applause that followed his symphonic waltz named "The Shadow Lawn Waltz." in honor of the Summer home of President Wilson. There was a large number of the singers whose careers had been in the hands of the great man who called Into being the Manhattan Opera Com pany, and from all the applause and the demonstration of affection expressed it was evident that when time will have rolled around and he will once more be free from his obligation to keep out of the opera field he will again be the hero of the day and the honored of classes and masses alike. Mr. Grainger won his nw audiance as completely as he has gained every hearer who ever lent himself to the delight of listening to his piano play ing. His reading of the Saint Saens G. Minor piano concerto was as beau tiful as anything he has yet placed to his credit, and he might have made the concert one vast and long piano recital. There was much delight manifested when the composer-pianist presented -his own arrangements of folk music. including the popular "Shepherd's Hey," in addition to "One More Day, John." "Maguire's Kick" and others of a simi lar nature. The orchestral numbers under direction of Mr. Spirescu were tn dvertura to iloiarfa "Marrlaga of keen Interest, and they went at their I with a fine anion.. i. ,"h i lmu'"ovnnt with a will and' have built him a big' tent with all conuorts and everytl.ing has been dona to make his labor nureeuMe, so that thlk lovt-r of birds is dcliuhtrd at the. opportunity of bettering humanity. Mr. Ksses has bad remarkable "suc cess since taking up his liexy work at Wa.la Walla, much of which is due to bis many years passed n experiments at his home near Montesano.

Suitable coops and houses have been erected, all of the labor performed by convicts, and with the entire farm property wired and fenceiU more than 3000 little birds already are on hand.

Mr. Essen has been provided by the state Figaro." Massenet's "Los Ilinnyes." a group or small numbers by LiadiVv. I.acome and the intermezzo "Jewels of tho Madonna." Following Mr. Grainger's second place on the programme came the per formance of Mr. Hammersteln's concert waltz, and the evening's offerings closed with an orchestral arrangement by Glazounow of Chopin's "rolonaisc Militaire." .Taooues Thihaud. the French violin ist, who has been relensed rnrr i c- ... . . .

Especial in terest attaches to this performance in point of the fact that the Russian violinist will play a concerto by Fred erick Stock, the brilliant and eminent conductor of the Chicago Svmphony Orchestra. The closing number of this programme will be Ravels "Valses -monies et Sentlmentales," for the first tune at tnese concerts. Fate seems to pursue the Diaglleff Ballet Russe. First Nijinsky sprained bis ankle and was unable to present the Richard Strauss "Till Eulenspiegcl" according to the oripinal intention, then Mme. Ixnkowa became ill and was unable to appear as scheduled at th- close of the week. The perfor mances have been tinusuallv hriiii.ni and Pierre Monteux has proved himself a rarely gifted conductor, one who has a fine feeling for atmosphere and for precision. The last week in the New Tork sea son of these dancers brought forward the much-heralded "Till Eulenspiegel." given under the baton of Dr. Goetz'l. who has been especially engaged for this performance. Albert Reiss and his remarkahle as. soc.iates have won no end- of comment, and all the musical world Is agog over the Idea of seeing something so re freshingly naive and delicate as the English performances of two Mozart operettas given at the Empire Theater recently. Mr. Reiss conceived this Idea some time ago and waited for a season when he should have time at his dis posal which came about this Summer He. therefore. Invited H. E. Krehbiel and Alice Mattulluh to collaborate with him in "Englishing" the text, and out of the entire musical world who would be better equipped to work upon an enterprise of this sort than Sam Franko, who loves music of an olden day better than anything else in the world. He Is not afraid of being dubbed old-fashioned, either, as he has devoted his life to it with such fervor that he Is a recognized authority In Europe and in America on this subject. With Mr. Franko as musical con ductor and Mr. Reiss as leading tenor and leading spirit, the Mozart wor shipers may prepare for unique enjoy- i-nu anu. atmougn only one per formance has been announced, there is hardly a doubt that there will be suf ficient reason to give the works again. "Bastien and Bastlenne" are not en tirely new to New York audiences William Humiston conducted a per formance of the work before the Mac Dowell Club last season. This will be g-ivaa jointly witn, "Tua Impresario," , In which the story of Mozart and Schikaneder is told. Mozart is at work on his famous "The Magic Flute." David Bispham will appear aa Schikaneder. Mr. Reiss as Mozart. Ma bel Carrlson as Aloysin Ijn-e and Lucy Gates as Mile. Lihli.h. The same, artists will appear in the second work.
