the anomaly of State Fair with no first-rate nusic seems more inexcusable. \n outfit that can afford to hire costly name bands and even shell wut a reported $25.000 for Spike Jones ,a couple of seasons back certainly should be able to employ a civic orchestra, if we had such a thing. The civic orchestra naturally would be the pit band for summer

operetta. It also could try the experiment of outdoor pop concerts in temporarily rigged-up

beer gardens. Certainly Indianapolis has a large group of potential patrons who know what Gemuetlichkeit” means. not as old as Cincinnati maybe we haven't made the progress Cincy’s made, but there's no harm trying. Most of the Symphony's troubles are due to the fact that nohody cares, or not enough people care at the right time. Persons! who, according to my colleague Harold Hartley,

buying new homes, presumably should have commensurate civic pride. If they're willing to pay that much to live here, they ought

to be willing to work a bit on the -
