Oi Symphony
Unless Salem music wi .
port the programs more gener
ously this season concerts by the
Portland . Symphony Orchestra
niay be discontinued Theodore
Bloomfield, conductor of the Port
land orchestra, warned in an ad
dress before the Salem Rotary
club at the Marion hotel Wednes
day noon. .
Bloomfield said that ticket sales
here to date are far short of the
requirement to pay the cost of
bringing1 these cnnppric i ci
The first Of three pinforte cnUJ

field urged his listeners to "tell
your wife to tell her friends and
tell your .own friends," i' this cul
tural treat is to be continued in
the capital city. .,, , . - ..
Bloomtield went into' detail in
describing the manner in which
a symphony concert season is set
up. Discussion of the programs,
he said, starts as early as Octo
ber Or November for the next sea
son. Employment of soloists, he
said, is a highly important co d
eration and depends largely upon
the amount of money available for
this purpose. Each concert, he ex
plained, is preceded by from four
to five rehearsals.
The Portland Symphony orches
tra, previously limited to 68 mem
bers has now been increased to 77
with 'additional musicians coming
from as . far away as New York
and Los Angeles. One number to
be played during Tuesday night's
concert in Salem will employ 80
instruments the largest "and
probably the loudest" symphony
orchestra ever to perform in this
city.
Much care, he said' is siven tn
the preparation of the' program to
be presented in Saleni because of
ine nigh cultural tone which the
city enjoys.
Ticket sales pay only about one
half the cost of the concerts pre
sented in Portland, the other one
half being provided by subscrio-
tions to the Portland Symphony
Society. The Portland concert sea
son is being extended this year to
a programs instead of the ten
previously presented, he said.
