IT SEEMS NOW that Cincinnati will have its May Festival this It also seems that the reasons for its annovinced postponement a few days ago were more immediate and local ‘than the “world conditions” which were the public reasons given

spring as per schedule.

for the postponement.

According to a story in the Cincinnati Enquirer the Festival Chorus

hac a rehearsal Monday night which turned into an exciting debate, a frank confession by the festival directors, and an eventual turning of the tide. : Boiled down, the situation seems to be this: The festival management called off the 63-year-old event: because of rising production costs. These the management attributed to demands of the Musicians’ Union.

* » ” = ‘THE REHEARSAL had begun,

phere of resentment at the “no festival” decision. It had continved with portions of Pierne'’s “Children’s Crusade,” sung ‘“magnificently and defiantly.” Then the choristers had heard a statement from Eugene Goossens, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conductor, in which he scorned

‘unconditionally

The statement was read by the veteran festival chorus master. After that, Joseph S. Graydon, president of the May Festival hoard of directors, took the rostrum. He said that a festival which had been founded for choral work had become “merely a choral ‘dog’ wagged by an orchestral ‘tail’.” Then he quoted the chorus some figures. Fe said that since 1933 the orchestra had demanded a 10 and 15 per cent surcharge above their regular salaries for festival work; 1hzt they had insisted upon using their full 78 men, no matter what sort of music was being performed, and that festival costs lad risen in proportion with ine creased orchestra costs in the past five years. He said that the orchestra fee in 1939 was $23,700, exclusive of the conductor’s fee. " ” ” “EUGENE ORMANDY took his 90-piece Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. to Ann Arbor for six days of concerts for a fee of $12,500, including the conductor’s salary,” Mr. Graydon told the chorus. “The Chicago Symphony Orchestra played for $7900 atl Evanston in a similar festival, How can we be expected to continue to meet a price asked by men of $24,000 without the tonductor?” Mr. Graydon said that orchestra representatives had agreed to drop the surcharge for this year’s festival at his request, but had said nothing about reducing the number of men.

One said “Let's give the festival with a piano or organ.” Another asked, “Do we really need this orchestra ?” “They ask for more money for the festival than for a symphony concert, but do they fiddle any faster or blow their horns any louder?” At the end of the meeting, the directors—six of their nine members being present—announced that “tne festival is on.”

'Sneak Preview’

The Circle is going to have another “sneak preview” tomorrow night. The unidentified major feature will go on at 8:05 p. m. in place of the regular second picture, “Let's Make Music.” This will be followed by the newsreel and the showing of “Virginia” at the regularly scheduled hours of 9:30 and 9:45, respectively. This will be the second time that the Circle has given its patrons a taste of the traditional West Coast institution of the unannounced tryout at no extra charge. The theater's first “phantom film” was shown on Jan. 27 and turned out to be “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which turned up at the Indiana four days later on the regular bill. A. W. Baker, Circle manager, says there will be a longer lapse of time between tomorrow night's preview and a regular booking.

'TITIAN' AUDITIONS SET TOMORROW

Auditions for parts in Nora Tully’s “Titian,” next Children’s Civic Theater production, will be held from 3:30 to 5 p. m. tomorrow at the Civic’s rehearsal room, 1852 N. Alabama St. The play will be given March 22 and 23. Boys and girls from 10 to 12, and a few adults or high school-age

These funds aided in financing Government activities, helped to keep industry humming and men in jobs, to erect public and private buildings, and assisted farmers to own their farms and to keep them in proper repair, However, the low interest rates generally prevailing, continued to have their effect on the Company’s earnings and consequently on dividends to policyholders. Moreover, through its Welfare activities, its
