Show Interest
In Symphony
Much interest in the Portland
Symphony orchestra, occasioned
by the ensemble's auspicious
1940-50 debut at Portland re
cently, has materially helped the
ticket sale for Salem's symphony
season, according to Miss Alice
Crary Brown of the Salem Sym
phony society.
The accelerated sale of seats
for the Portland orchestra's two
appearances at the Salem high
school auditorium, January 10
and March 21, has increased
revenues to the point where both
concerts are about 80 per cent
underwritten, it was reported.
Many Salemites who attended
the opening concert at Portland
were impressed with the work
of the new director, James Sam
ple. Prior to accepting his Port
land contract to succeed Werner
Jansscn on the podium, Mr. Sam
ple had been guest conductor of
the Honolulu Symphony orches
tra for the early fall of this year,
and his brilliant directing of the
island group won him consistent
acclaim.
The critics continued to heap
praise upon his work when he
opened the Portland season with
an extremely creditable showing
and this despite a sharply re
duced budget.
Miss Brown said that a con
siderable economy was affected,
without loss of musical effective
ness, through a decrease In the
number of "importations" from
20 to less than 10. As was the
case last year, excellent instru
mcntalists, some local and others
from Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco, fill the orchestra's key
positions.
ABOUT 35 attended the meet
ing of Pi Beta Phi alumnae last
evening at the chapter house.
Reports revealed the recent sale
of articles from the sorority set
tlement school to be successful.
The members brought a shower
of canned fruit and jellies and
jam for the chapter house.
