Violinist Ruth Breton, wearing white gloves, was given a sickle to manipulate. Ample Soprano Emily Roosevelt,* dressed up in chiffon, was given a hoe. Tenor Mario Chamlee climbed up on the tractor beside Conductor Sokoloff-to help him break ground for a stadium where symphony concerts will be given through July and August. The cocktail guests, summer neighbors of Conductor Sokoloff, will be soloists at the Weston Concerts this summer. The 70 orchestramen who will...
