Good Music BY JAMES THRASHER

Since our brief outdoor concer® series Jong since has gone, why not try a little air-conditioned. listening in your own home? As a starter, turn on the radio and the electric fan this evening, park a cooling draught of something conveniently near, and settle down for the hour and a half of symphonic music scheduled by WFBM. At 6 p. m. Basil Cameron is to conduct his own orchestra, the Seattde Symphony, in place of the Portland organization, which has been on this Thursday evening spot for several weeks. The popular “Sakuntala” Overture by Goldmark will open the program, to be followed by Liszt's “Les Preludes,” Debussy’s “Afternoon of a Faun” and two movements from the Fourth Bymphony of Tschaikowsky. _Izler Solomon will lead the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. in a 30minute program from Grant Park at 8 p. m. The selections booked include the Overture to Nicolai's “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” Bibelius’ “The Swan of Tuonela,” and two compositions by SaintSaens, the popular “Danse Macabre” and the symphonic poem, “Phaen.”
