...tireless a traveler as Keyserling, "the travel-philosopher," Julius Meier-Graefe, 66, has nearly finished his journey.

Last winter, grown calmer and more wily...
...Yorkers who summer nearby. Across from the slope where the benches will be built is a seven-acre field where motorists can park free. A window of the old barn will be turned into a box office. The summer concerts will give Sokoloff a chance to spend his tireless energy and to exercise his great talent for building up a musical organization. Next season the New York Orchestra will give monthly concerts in Manhattan, tour around between times to smaller eastern cities which big expensive orchestras like the Boston, Philadelphia and New York Philharmonic no longer have time or money...
