...popular) concerts had begun and they were concerts faithful to their name once more. For a new conductor was at the helm ? handsome Arthur Fiedler, a native Bostonian, son of a Symphony fiddler, who last year scored a success at the outdoor concerts on the Charles River Basin Esplanade (TIME, July 29).
