The Symphony winds up its current season with the 14th subscription pair of con-
certs tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
And Duke Ellington's concert at the National Guard Armory next Thursday merits
a reminder here. As the only ballet offering we've had this season, aside from the dance interludes in musical shows, Monday's appearance of the Ballet Theater on the Martens series should prove popular. As previously announced, the program for Monday will be predominantly familiar, comprising “Theme and Variations,” music by Tchaikovsky; “Jardin aux lilas,” Chausson music; “Pas de deux.” Tchaikovsky (“Nutcracker” suite) and “Les Patineurs,” which, as Coliseum-goers know, means “The Bkaters,” with Meyerbeer music. > oS “O MISTRESS MINE” will bring Sylvia Sidney and John Loder to the Murat Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and Wednesday matinee, playing the roles made famous on Broadway by the Lunts. The story, as you probably know, concerns the rather peculiar relationship between a British cabinet minister and the widowed mother of a 17-year-old son. When the son returns from war-time sanctuary, in Canada, he immediately, notes and expresses concern over his mother’s interest in the minister. A conflict, complicated by jealousy, develops between the boy and the man, with the results at times comic, at times slightly pathetic,

Mr. Fuleihan, ‘who wrote excellent program notes for the Symphony's 1947-48 season, will give Indianapolis listeners a chance to assess his prowess as composer and pianist, which has rereceived high critical acclaim in New York and elsewhere, A concert deserving mention here is the program by the Bowling Green, O., State University A Cappella Choir at 7:30 p. m. tomorrow in Victory Memorial Methodist Church, Woodlawn | and Villa Aves.
