...purely native sources. In his own music Chavez makes the winds of the modern orchestra shrill stridently like primitive chirimias. He has added swishing gourds to the conventional percussives. But most of H. P.'s music was too obtrusively harsh and loud for listeners on first hearing to detect the Indian tunes which he claims to be part & parcel of his work. It costs Mary Louise Curtis Bok a tidy sum to finance the Philadelphia Grand Opera Company's carefully prepared productions. When Stokowski conducts, the bills are still higher because he likes to use the full Philadelphia...

But electricity and physics are only a pastime with him. In 1920, with Landon K. Thome, he revivified Bonbright & Co., made it the leading private banking house to specialize in public utilities. At 44, he is also chairman...
