...Broadway. The musicians stood up to play then. Several chosen for their "appearance and address" acted as ushers, wore white gloves until the Society discovered it could save $4.75 if they went barehanded. Never has a Philharmonic concert been canceled. Only two have been postponed, one when Conductor Anton Seidl died suddenly, the other when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Radio has made the Philharmonic the world's most widely heard orchestra. Columbia Broadcasting System figured that 9,000,000 listened to Toscanini's birthday concert, the 2,981st concert that the Philharmonic has given. For its artistic prestige...

Next winter in that refreshment room, grey-haired, flat-faced Emil Katz will go on serving sandwiches and coffee as he has done since the days when his idol, Anton Seidl, was conducting at the Metropolitan. Even with the $300,000 raised, the season will be shorter than it has been for 31 years.

They aim the ray. Soon the city awakes to find Harry Hansen, William Soskin, Heywood Broun, Henry Seidl Canby, Asa Huddleberry and George Jean Nathan all dead. When the old man's hospitality becomes too exacting, Dograr leaves, preferring to have six Weber & Heilbroner shirts "in the Manhattan manner" at $4.40 each (advt.), and an Oriental dancer named Sweet Adeline. At the end Charles is seen walking...
...glory of Richard Wagner. In the U. S. his glory spread more slowly. At first it was the matter of importing a great new musical idea, a new school of conductors, singers. There came the day then of Lehmann, of Ternina, Fremstad, Schumann-Heink, of Jean de Reszke, Anton Seidl, of Toscanini-and Wagner was indeed a Titan. There came the War, and German singers, German music were in disfavor, but Wagner grew even in exile. His operas crept back into the repertoire one by one until Lohengrin had arrived, Tannhäuser, Tristan, Meister singer, the four Ring operas...
