IN SOME IDLE, fleeting moment perhaps you've mentally dwelt upon the trials and aches of engaging a man .like Leopold (Garbo) Stokowski for a concert. He’s the maestro, you know, who's bringing the-all-American Youth Orchestra to Indianapolis on June 10 for what is hoped will be a moonlight concert in Butler Bowl. Dorothy Knisely, commissioned to whoop it up for Leopold, has been telling us how she is getting along with her work.

now, is that Mr. Stokowski wanted to come here.

Mr, Blair sat in his tent shirtless,|

‘Mr. Stokowski here, let il be said For the maestro,

Then, too, having kept Fabien

- Sevitzky in line for four seasons,

the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra' management felt .confident it could handle Leopold for one night. Unfortunately, that has turned out to be an unwarranted confidence. As of this writing, the management would rather handle 10 Sevitzkys (and 40 of his curtain speeches) than one Stokowski (mute). Lastly, the Indianapolis Orchestra needed cash. money for its maintenance fund and figured Mr. Stokowski was just the gent to ate tract some coin. After all, it’s been years since we Hoosiers have been offered a look at this famous protagonist of platonic love.

So What: Happens?

HAVING SETTLED all this to the satisfaction of their own minds, the local ‘sponsors -there--upon ‘signed a binding contract with - the Stokowski, clan, which. - uttered assurances that once it ‘was revealed their man was coming here, that’s all that would be necessary. The local citizenry would swoop down on the Murat box office, screaming for tickets like mad. (Ha! Ha!) . Assurances also were given that Miss Garbo’s boy friend’s trained seals would supply publicity. that would be gobbled up by the newspapers like chances on the Pulitzer Prize and that Mr. Stokowski’s Indianapolis program would be announced six weeks in advance, not subject to change. Indianap. on |- Olis is still waiting. - Having contracted (contract No.’ 2) for the Butler Bowl—and Fieldhouse in case of rain—the local sponsors discovered the seat numbers in the Bowl have long faded almost away. Somebody is going them back on. All seats will be reserved, you know,

Try, Try Again!

DESPITE THE fact she’s had little else to say other .than that Mr. Stokowski was coming, Miss Knisely has written hundreds of words on the affair, several ultimately reaching the public prints. Indianapolis’ - newspapers. have tried to publicize the salient facts" anent Mr. Stokowski ‘and the concert, but people are still. asking very elemental questions. They say, “Are the seats going to be reserved?” The answer “What if it rains?” “Then itll be held in the Fieldhouse.” “Can.we actually see Mr. Stokowski?” : “If you don’t come blind drunk, yes.” - It is the simple plan of the ‘sponsors to sell no bum seats. “Can we hear?” “Mr. Stokowski carries a erotial sound-reflectihg orchestra shell to throw the sound out like a shot.” (Now it’s been discovered the trucks which carry this shell are too big to drive in the stadium

gates, and so the thing will have .

to be disassembled and toted in piece by piece.) t

The Payoffi—

AT THIS point, a lady calls up and plaintively asks: “Are you going to have Mr. Stokowski here for a concert? Huh? Well, why don’t you have something put in the papers about it?” From a journalistic standpoint, this is the most discouraging thing we've heard in months. The facts, repeating, are: Sto.kowski will direct his orchestra here on the night of June 10 at: 8:15 o'clock in Butler. Bowl and all seats will be reserved Yor the people ;who bought them. June 10 falls on a Tuesday, two weeks from today. The concert will be held in the Fieldhouse if it rains. Which Dorothy says it won't.
