DAMROSCH LOOKS AHEAD

Beloved Conductor Nears 70 Mark

BY **AUL HARRISON NEA Mr-ice Writct NEW YORK, Jan. 38 —The years of Walter Johannes Damrosch will reach three score and ten Saturday. But the dean of American symphony conductors is looking forward, his kindly blue eyes, like his ambition, still undimmed. He refuses even to speculate on the time of his retirement. His 70th birthday anniversary means just another Saturday to him—another day of hard work, and preparation for other busy days to come. Os course he will cherish the stack of telegrams and letters that represent the well-wishes of the world’s musically-great on this anniversary. But he will value them no more than the usual run of fan mail with which he regularly is deluged. a a a DAMROSCH remains awed by the scope of the radio work through which his old fame has been renewed a thousand-fold. He delights in explaining that one of his broadcast programs today is heard by more people than he reached with personal appearances during his entire career. “It was five years ago that I resigned as conductor of the New York Symphony orchestra,” he recalled : “At that time I had dreamed of a lazy, hazy life of retirement—done with all the frantic activity of so many years. “But then the radio came along and swept me right back into the whirlpool. I’m enjoying it immensely, too.” As some 6,000,000 school children and perhaps as many adults know, Walter Damrosch conducts music appreciation programs over a na-tion-wide network on Friday mornings, and regular symphony concerts on Sundays. Thousands of schools have made

Walter Johannes Damrosch ... is looking forward.

his appreciation series a part of | their regular work. a a a “T AM humbly grateful,” Damrosch -*■ resumed, “that such a chance came to me at my time of life. Ido not believe that any other musician ever had a comparable opportunity. “Good music is becoming democratized. Every week I speak and play to ‘common people’ who now know what Wagner, Brahms, Mozart and Beethoven really mean. Through the cultivation of their minds and hearts, these listeners are becoming aristocrats in the best sense of the word.” It was early morning when the veteran conductor-composer sat for his birthday picture and interview. Outside, the city was scurrying to its offices, but Damrosch, brisk, ruddy-cheeked and smiling, was well into his day’s work. Two telephones on his unpretentious studio desk jangled intermittently. Damrosch already had spent a little time at his piano, arranging a score. Every minute of his day was scheduled for appointments, broadcast, rehearsal. He has a passion for punctuality, and reckons that he never has been late more than ten times in his life. a a a TTIS seventieth birthday will find Damrosch with three predominant interests: his broadcasting, a drive for a $300,000 fund for the relief of unemployed musicians, and his campaign for presentation of opera in English. He has more than a humanitarian interest in seeking to aid the jobless of his profession, for he declares that their destitution affects the very structure of music itself. In addition to sponsoring benefit concerts, his committee has received numerous contributions from music lovers. One of these gifts was the $5,000 birthday check presented to Damrosch by the National Broadcasting Company. Never intolerant of so-called popular music (he even has broadcast George Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm”), the conductor nevertheless is hopeful that a modern Wagner of Beethoven will arise.

“There are no giants creating music today,” he said. “The age does not seem able to express itself musically. We have been feeding too much on the past.” He is not alarmed about the crooning vogue. Damrosch at 70 has seen many a fad come and go.
