orchestrated by maurice ravel caused many in the audi ence to scrutinize their programs in the dark to pick out the name of the particular picture or scene the orchestra was depicting hector berlioz roman carnival overture was an exceptional per formance the brass and percus sion sections were given free rein by mr adler the concertino in e flat for clarinet and orchestra by carl maria yon weber

called back twice for encores grace hall was on its best be havior the acoustical quality was somehow superior to past perform ances in the building and with the new seat backs on the benches there was little to detract from audience attention to the orchestra adler was a true showman the audience unfortunately missed his many appropriate facial expres sions but was able to see him carve out squares and triangles in the air with his baton turn off imaginary water faucets to quiet particular sections of the orchestra and lean over his music stand as if to compliment the violin section in front of him three of the four selections on the schedule were programmatic music written to tell a story or to set a specific scene in musical terms till eulenspiegel's merry lu band to perform on
