...Tristan bit was followed three days later by an hour-and-a quarter program from the Mozart Festival at Salzburg, Austria: the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Conductor Bruno Walter (who will conduct Manhattan's Philharmonic-Symphony next winter) in an all-Mozart program; and part of a promenade concert at Queen's Hall, London, under Conductor Sir Henry Joseph Wood. Clearer than NBC's first program, this one was not relayed but picked up by short-wave and re-transmitted. Symphonic-minded radiauditors were pleased. Heretofore radio policy had been to keep programs short...
Soon after the end of the flight, the business of making the flyers official heroes and their families great personages was in full swing. They were paraded, be-medalled, feted, photographed within an inch of their lives. (They had engaged as publicity counsel the firm of Bruno & Blythe.) Their wives were included at many of the functions, including the luncheon given by Mayor Walker, where Arthur Brisbane quoted Paul Block as saying: "It must have been hard to fly away from either of those two ladies."

Four of the five greatest European conductors have had U. S. fiascoes. Aged Karl Muck was repudiated by the Boston Symphony on a hazy charge of pro-Germanism. Wilhelm Furtwangler and Willem Mengelberg were popular for a time in Manhattan, then severely criticized and not invited to return. Bruno Walter was twice guest leader of the defunct New York Symphony, but in his brief regime he could not raise it from the lethargy into which it had sunk after years under Walter Damrosch. The fifth great maestro, who has not failed, is Arturo Toscanini. Under his guidance the New York...
