Ignace Jan Paderewski earned $27,000 at one sitting in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden last February for the Musicians' Emergency Aid. Nearly as much for the same purpose was realized by the "perfect program" (Wagner's Parsifal Prelude and Good Friday Music. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony) which Arturo Toscanini crossed the ocean specially to conduct in Carnegie Hall last May (TIME, May 9). Last week was publicized a series of bigger biggest, greater greatest benefit performances. With the co-operation of National Broadcasting Co., Dr. Walter Damrosch will put on five monster concerts in Madison...
...Henry Arens presided. Featured were Tenor Paul Althouse, Soprano Elsa Alsen, and part of the Minneapolis Symphony directed by able Alexander Smallens, assistant conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Because he loves the forests of Normandy he has made a rambling book out of his rambles there. Stimulated by a curiosity to know whether a certain great lady had fully experienced the joys of love and successfully aroused them...
...first performance of the Ninth Symphony was a financial failure. Beethoven's reward from the King of Prussia, to whom he dedicated it, was an imitation diamond ring. The concert last week, except for a few $250 boxes, was sold out the day it was announced. The Philharmonic Symphony sent back $10,000 in checks, turned thousands away from the boxoffice. At the hall when receipts were added it was found that Toscanini had earned some $26,000 for his jobless brothers, only $1,000 less than Paderewski raised in Madison Square Garden, which seats 18,903 against Carnegie...
