By JAMES THRASHER The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s eighth season will open on Nov. 19, with Fabien Sevitzky conducting, for 10 pairs of concerts climaxed by a performance of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony on April 2 and 3. Soloists will include Lotte Lehmann, soprano; Richard Bonelli, baritone; Simon Barer and Frank Sheridan, pianists; Albert Spalding and Lea Luboshutz, violinists, and Emanuel Feuermann, cellist. Such was the heart-warming promise of greater things to come which greeted last night's audience at the closing 1936-37 concert in the Murat. The occasion also marked the final appearance of Ferdinand Schaefer as regular conductor in a subscription concert. He will make additional appearances this spring and preside over concerts on Dec.

We're going to have Feud Week in Indianapolis’ downtown theaters beginning Friday. For out of what probably are history's four most famous vendettas, two will liven up the local screens for

your entertainment.

The Capulets and Montagues will clash again (at popular prices) when “Romeo and Juliet” returns to Loew's. And at the Apollo, Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie will “have at”’ one another with quips instead of cutlasses in “Wake Up and Live.” As for the Hatficlds and the McCoys, and the Allens and the Bennys, we can expect them along ‘most any time now. For the contemplative movie-goer, these contrasting combats offer food

The players never failed to give the conductor alert and enthusiastic support, and Mr. Schaefer, undaunted by the occasion’s solemnity, was in the best form in this writer's remembrance.

U. S. Players Shift Dates

Traveling Company's Booking Is Canceled.

The Federal Players’ schedule for the next three weeks, which has been subject to ‘change without | notice” for several days, has under- | gone another revision. Latest announcement, made today by Henry K. Burton, Keith's manager, is that the current offering | of “Petticoat Fever” by the DePauw | University players will be followed by a “dark” week, beginning next Monday. Then the Federal Players are to return in their first musical nroduction, ‘Said Pasha,” on May 3. “Altars of Steel,” originally booked for performance on this date by a Federal Theater group from Washington, has been canceled. The forthcoming musical show will have several well-known local singers in the title parts, and the Burroughs College of Music Choir has been recruited for choral ensemble numbers. The production has been delayed because of the fact that several cast members also are to appear on the National Fed|eration of Music Clubs convention ' programs beginning Friday.

17 and 18 next season as conductor emeritus. \ Audience Cheers

Both audience and orchestra paid the silver-haired conductor the homage of prolonged applause at the opening and closing of the concert. The players rose to their feet 4s’ He came upon the stage and joined in the ovation. At the concert’s close the audience stood and cheered until Mr. Schaefer responed with a brief “curtain speech.” | “I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said, and left the stage. It was certainly a moving moment for many of the audience as well as for the “father of the orchestra.” ! There was nothing sad or silverhaired about the program, however. The “Clock” Symphony of Haydn was heard first, and Mr. Schaefer conducted it with a youthful verve, Throughout there was bouyant grace, clarity of outline and flawless style. . Next, Iso Briselli, violinist, appeared to make his bow to an Indianapolis audience as.soloist in the Mendelssohn Concerfo. Mr. Briselli is young and slight, and his playing was marked by technical proficiency and an unassuming simplicity. He chose t» emphasize the work's classic purity of style rather than the romantic warmth of its content. Consequently the interpretation took on a Mozartean quality which was not entirely becoming in some places. There was a marked deficiency of tone quantity throughout, though the tone was of pleasing quality. And the full “meat” of the phrases often was missing in Mr. Briselli’s conception.
