...Cailliet, a jolly bespectacled Frenchman, known by Philadelphians as one of their regular clarinetists. After Cailliet's Bach came Mozart's Fourth Violin Concerto with Fritz Kreisler as soloist, forerunning such headliners as Josef Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Kirsten Flagstad, Vladimir Horowitz, Mischa Levitzki, Jascha Heifetz, Lawrence Tibbett, Artur Schnabel, all sure bait for customers not altogether sure of a youthful new conductor. Fritz Kreisler's spell was sure, while Ormandy kept courteously to the background for the 61-year-old fiddler who, according to his irrepressible wife last week, "would be good if he would only practice...
...This week the big orchestras in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago will start their seasons, under such proven leaders as Polish Artur Rodzinski, British Eugene Goossens and square old Frederick Stock, born a German but for many a year a proud Chicago institution. St. Louis' hopes are high again for a series of concerts under Vladimir Golschmann, the sleek Franco-Russian who has built himself a strong Missouri following.

Last week from Vienna, Conductor Bodanzky cabled his refusal on the grounds that the San Francisco orchestra pit was too small for Wagner, that he could not do without the extra musicians whom he would have to take from Manhattan. San Francisco thereupon appointed Conductor Fritz Reiner...
Most is expected of Polish Artur Rodzinski who will have command of the season's last eight weeks. Conductor Rodzinski has made rare progress since he arrived in the U. S. eleven years ago to serve an apprenticeship as assistant to Philadelphia's Leopold Stokowski. From Philadelphia Rodzinski went to Los Angeles, created new interest in the orchestra there. For the past three years he has been in Cleveland where he has become increasingly dynamic. Besides building up the audiences for the regular symphony series he has made opera, a part of his schedule. For Cleveland...
