...businesslike manner commanded attention for two Bach transcriptions, arranged by Lucien Cailliet, a jolly bespectacled Frenchman, known by Philadelphians as one of their regular clarinetists. After Cailliet's Bach came Mozart's Fourth Violin Concerto with Fritz Kreisler as soloist, forerunning such headliners as Josef Hofmann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Kirsten Flagstad, Vladimir Horowitz, Mischa Levitzki, Jascha Heifetz, Lawrence Tibbett, Artur Schnabel, all sure bait for customers not altogether sure of a youthful new conductor.

...titles. Alec Templeton impressed Chicago critics with more remarkable feats. When Glenn Dillard Gunn gave him a theme, he quickly responded with a choral prelude which the Herald & Examiner critic almost took for a Bach-Busoni transcription. Pianist Templeton also showed Mr. Gunn he had not only learned Rachmaninoff's new Paganini Rhapsody from records but also could rattle off his own piano transcription of the complicated orchestra score.
