...festival was such a rip-roaring success that it became the talk of every small town in the Midwest. Five years later, Cincinnatians decided that their festival needed a permanent home. So at a cost of $310,000 they built themselves what was then the largest and finest concert auditorium in the U. S. Today Cincinnati's enormous, ancient, many-spired Music Hall still stands. The paint on its walls has chipped off and its roof leaks, but it is one of the half-dozen acoustically perfect large auditoriums in the U. S. There, every two years, Cincinnati still...
Taking Lead Belly north with him to Manhattan, Folklorist Lomax gave him a first shove up the ladder by presenting him in a concert before radio scouts, theatrical agents and pressmen. Lead Belly prospered, bought himself a new guitar, drawled his rhyme-sprouting improvisations in concert halls and over the air.

The Pierian is rally a much better group than it appeared to be in this concert, and it is too bad that its only impression this year (except for a concert with the Radcliffe orchestra and chorus in the Fall, and its recent Pops Concert at Adams House) should not be a good one. It is even more regrettable that this orchestra, which plays programs outstanding in originality...
...course, both organizations must consider their budgets, and concerts are not usually successful at Harvard. Except for the singing in the Yard, the Glee Club, however, has performed here only once in the last two years, and that was a joint concert with Yale on the Friday night before the Yale game--not a very good time for drawing an audience...
