He walks with elasticity nnd conducts with a steady flew of magnetism and occasional Hashes of energy. Rut ns a conductor he does net belong te the motion-picture clas. He pre sents te the eyes of an audience a figure of dignity nnd force. He pos sesses a clear and decided beat, uses few graphic gestur.es, gives entrances In an unmistakable manner. Indicates accel- erandl and rltardandl with directness and confronts an orchestra with nn au thority which commands respect. There Is nothing new le be said nt this moment alwut the compositions en the program. "Den Juan" Is familiar te all mulc levers. "Til nulensplegel" la heard less frequently nnd net often An Dr. Strauss conducted It. He took the general tempo somewhat mere slowly thsn is usual here nnd with most excellent results. He mndc no attempt te emphasize his effects. He did net make the clarinet shriek the famous last squenl of Til. He caused the passage te be played normally and tlierebv gave it a legitimate musical chnrnc'ter. He treated the fortes with discretion, seeking for true sonority rather than noise. A scathing, though unconscious, comment en the readings of many ether conductors was made bv a ladv who said te her companion, "It didn't sound loud enough. ' Dr. Strauss had misconceived the true djnamlcs of his own brllllnnt ex travaganza. The orchestra discharged its duties with enthusiastic devotion te the com poser and with high honor te It.self.
