No less than 3,669 of Amoskeag's workless workers (a slim majority of those voting) accepted...
...opportunity Bostonians will have to hear him. The programs are likely to be exceedingly popular, for they contain the great masterpieces of symphonic literature, which, with Toscanini's incomparable approach, will be anything but hackneyed. That of Monday evening consists of Weber's Overture to "Der Freischutz," Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Smetana's symphonic poem "Vitava," and Wagner's Overture to "The Flying Dutchman." The Tuesday program includes Brahms' Fourth Symphony and Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration...
