morrow’s concert at Butler Bowl probably will be what was announced: The Third Symphony of Brahms, a Bach Toccata and Fugue, the Prelude and Love Death from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, and Roy Harris’ Interlude ' ‘for Strings. It might be entirely different. It all depends on Stokie, who is as moody as a 16-year-old
in love. He's His Own Law
from his scholarliness his tremendous conducting power, his temper, his charm, insolence, whims and vagaries. He is a law unto Rimsett, musically and socially: Should he decide a Beethoven needs a kazo0 part he very likely will put one in—and play it, too. If one of the moderns seems a hit noisy, he'll take out the noise, turning the work into a sonata for muted violin and a flute played o miles off stage. Walt Disney invited Igor Strato a preview of “Fantasia” to hear the orchestration of his (Stravinsky's) “Rite of Spring.” To shorten’ the ; piece a bit Stokowski had chopped out a few sections of the score. . Each time the loudspeakers revealed one of these amputations Stravinsky shut his eyes and shook like an aspen leaf. Many a imodern composer hasnt even recognized his own work played ala Stokowski. Tough on Musicians Reliable reports say that when a Toscanini rehearsal doesn't come up to that great one’s specifications there is the devil to pay. A season under Stokowski, according to story, is worse. A psychiatrist was called to an insane asylum -to examine a ee committed musician. ‘He reported the man: sane. The hospital superintendent asked the psychiatrist to question the patient about symphony conductors. The doctor asked Be Jusician under whom he had

“How about Stokowski?”
Faints at His Name ““Oh-h-h-h-h,” howled the musician and fainted. Repeatedly Stokie has stirred ire in the City of Brotherly Love with some very unbrotherly dissonances. If an audience is noisy he'll turn around ard shush it, If the patrons seem too comfortable, he'll scream them from their lethargy. He scolds Philadelphia’s elite as if they were children. At times when he is displeased with the “atmosphere” he stops the music and tells the audience to go home, he’s tired of playing for them and wants to be alone with his musicians. There have been times, too, when the audience has walked out, leaving 1iM to play 16 An smphy audi-
But ‘his reaction to ‘this is like his response to the musical experts who denounced “Fantasia” ‘as an affront to ‘Beethoven and Bach. No

critical jibes were brushed off by Stokie with: “I am not disturbed.” “I have had similar experiences,” he says in a modulated, slightly

What He's Going to Do Next
Leopold Stokowski
a new work by Schoehberg which was heartily hissed. But long ago, when I conducted Stra “Rite of Spring” in its first yoo do ican performance, I also was hissed.” Last week in Detroit with the
All-American Youth Orchestra Sto-
kie was not met at the train because the citizens got mixed upon daylight saving time. He went to his hotel where the reception committee later gathered outside. The high school band went through its repertoire: of Sousa twice until all the kids were winded from an hour's playing. Stokie wouldn't come out. The band played some more. Finally Stokowski agreed to give :the kids the honor of being led by the maestro himself, but it must be indoors. The band moved into the lobby and Stokie stood before them, Just as the mayor's secretary began a welcome address, the maestro gave them the down beat and the band drowned out the speech. Stokowski also objected to a police ‘escort (sirens hurt his ears) and riding in an
open car. Frank to Hosts He is even more frank to hosts and hostesses than to people who fight for a chance to hear him play. At one dinner party where he was a guest, the foods were exotic and expensive, the wines exquisite. Stokie wouldn't touch the first course. He looked down his nose at the second. The third, too, was distasteful. He became glum and slouched into his’ chair. “Is there anything special I could order for you, maestro?” the hostesses asked. i .
Stokie stood up. “I do not understand why it is” he said grandly, “that people who have dinner parties have food like this for their company and save
the nice things like hamburgers for when they are alone.” . He's a Superb Show Stokie in. himself is a superb

And of course his magnificent hands—the hands with which he draws from his great orchestral in-
