...seats to make them want to buy again. Artists' fees are lower this year with a few exceptions. So are seats. Bookings are bigger than the New York managers expected.

Lawrence Tibbett has 51; Kreisler and Rachmaninoff, 33 each; Yehudi Menuhin, 28 (all his parents will let him play); Heifetz, 26, Zimbalist, Harold Bauer and Gabrilowitsch, expert musicians whose box-office power has never been sensational, have in the neighborhood of 30.
