First concerts in St. Louis and Indianapolis last week were more in tune with the Los Angeles Philharmonic's unworried beginning. In St. Louis the sleek, gallic ways of Conductor Vladimir Golschmann have proved so popular that the orchestra was able to balance its budget this autumn by boosting ticket-prices.

Ten imported guest conductors had driven players and audiences into a state of lethargy, but Golschmann managed to inject enough spirit into four concerts to earn a two-year contract. This autumn the St. Louis Symphony has been unique in hav-ing its highest seat-sale in history, a 12% increase over last year's. Part of this is due to the enthusiasm St. Louis ladies have...
