J. all beer and skittles for some ot our rat orchestral onranltatlona, and fimong these has been the Boston 8ym- pnony Orchestra. Troubles both ilnan- oiai and nrtlstlo nppearvto have neset the' famous organisation, and, from a IIC-Vllfc HUIVIQ 111 IIIIJ UU9LUII linilBtltM am. JhAL, liiall.i !... ...4 .. . t n. m ib4Ia1. In ....& Tliia(H n'aiinaAaln, wii uvftiui Mutually cAtaiou luf n. unto ,as to the future of tho orchestra. How ever, the deficit was guaranteed by prl 'vats subscription and the continuance el the orchestra assured for at least ityro years to come. iVT The TranscrlDt points out that "It has been an open secret for many weeks that the expenditures of tho orchestra ,.or the current year would considerably I 'exceed Its Income. The cost of tho re- organization of tho band, begun last summer and completed for tho time a kiortnlcht ago. has been consiaerapie, as -,the management has sought for many UW 111 JJUBia IIlUDlVlUlin Ui OIK41M1 UUHIk?, If who expect and receive large salaries, nuany, the cost or travel nas unted and, as In every household and i, every business, almost all the fixed charges to which tho orchestra Is sub- (Ject have Increased In tho ratio of the ' hour, xt, "On tho other hand, In this year of Ljtransltlon from the old order to tne new," continues tho&rtIcle. "Its receipts , have appreciably diminished more from 'the concerts in Boston than from those "undertaken In scleral other cities. The k (inescapable, foreseen outcome was a ".considerable deficit, estimated by those Informed of It at, say, 1120,000.' LjTTHEN the situation became ncuto b IT Immediate action was necessary to , ve the body which has had such n fine artistic history and dono so much for rnusio in America, noi only lor mo pree- entseason, but also to assure Its future rfor at least a season pr two ahead. Ac cordingly, to quote' again from the 'Transcript, "the trustees recently as sembled a Tew friends of the orchestra and to them set forth the financial and general situation In Its affairs and pros pects. Krom tneso menus ana rrom their own members, they received sub- scrlpttons sufficient to pay the deficit for tho current season, along with pledges that secure any similar deficits arising within thn next two years "In the "Judgment of the trustees. It was wiser to ask for private aid In this fashion than to appeal to the town In general, as did tho Philadelphia Or chestra a few years ago when It was In need of like relief nnd 'guarantee. The trustees In their wisdom hae also pre ( ferred to keep these matters from the Pudiic, out as was ineunuie wnrre eu many persons were concerned, more or less authentic versions of them hae run from tongue to tongue, the best ac credited of which is here written." OP EVKX wider general interest to the musical public than this frank acknowledgment of tho financial straits l of the orchestra comes the news In the same article that M. Henri Tlabaud may not be the conductor next year. It had been the general Impression, at least outside of tho charmed circle In Boston, that M. Itahnud has a contract extend- P Ing oter a term of years, but this seems not to be the case. The Transcript says on this point': "With the continuance of the orches tra in Its present estate and policies I, thus assured, there Is hope, and even Ir expectation, tnat tne puouc or tne sym t phony concerts here and elsewhere , (which, after all, Is Its chler source or revenue) may soon learn who Is to be I. the conductor for next jear. Tor the i time being, speculation and surmse. which is plenty, may run wnitncr it ,' chooses "It is Impossible to say with any It show of authority whether Mr. Itabaud Vis disposed to remain for another season li'Jwitn the orchestra, as many or nis )hearers would gladly see him do, or "jwhether the trustees are disposed to II continue mm in ms jireaem puL, I f - S IS natural, tho name of the con ductor of our own orchestra, Mr. 'Stokowskl, appears In the discussion as to the new leader, If there Is to be one. 1 The article goes on. In discussing the . conductorshfp: 'There is questioning as well about Mr. Bodansky, of the Metro polltan Opera House, now an American citizen; about Mr. Gabrllowltsch, of ' Detroit; about Mr. Stokowskl, of Phila delphia, and of new laurels In New York. Tct each of these three, what ever his desires or qualifications, seems tied to his present work, while to Mr. Bodansky and Mr. Gabrllowltsch dls- a a . t- a rn tifnrrltna mfrAn faaAlxr rslna , objections. ; . "As some say, again out or this cloudy , background) may suddenly spring a new conductor as relatively unknown here-t- abouts as was Mr. Itabaud last Oc- Ii aober."

ROSSINI'S opera, "The Barber of Be vlllc," which was given by the Met ropolitan Opera Company last Tuesday eenlng, Is not only a comedy In Itself, but the circumstances of Its composition had some aspects' almost as funny as some of the scenes in the opera. The composer claimed that he wrote the opera in inirteen das, and It was cer tainly composed, rehearsed, staged nnd performed within a month of tho time when ho began work on It. Naturally, when working at such speed, Ttosslnl did not hesltato to "bor row" from other cemposers as well as from previous works of his own. With characteristic carelessness he lost the oerturo which he had written for It and. Instead of rewriting it, he simply substituted the overture from his opera "Ellsabetta" and It has remained there ever since. Oarcla sang the part of jvimavivn ana in tne scene beneath the balcony of Roslna. at the onenlnr tier. formance, Introduced a Spanish nrla of ms own. it was a rank failure, and before the second nerfnrmnnra nf thn opera Rossini composed the beautiful cavatlna, "Kcco rldente il clelo," really the finest melody In the opera, taking the tune from the opening chorus of his own "Aurellano," which In turn was taken bodily from his own oratorio uiro in uaouonia. MUCH speculation has been Indulged In ns to why sopranos are allowed to choose their own selections In the famous "Lesson Scene." Rossini origi nally wroto a trio for this number for Itoslna, Bartolo and the disguised Atma lva. but In some way It was lost and the Indignant composer refused to write another one, leaving the luckless Itoslna of the moment, who happened to be Mme. Glorgl Blghcttl, to choose what ever she wanted. She selected a number In which Bhe scored an enormous suc cess, and the procedure took so well with the audience that, even after the opera was a pronounced success, Rossini did not write anything for tho missing number. But these were not all of the composi tion "stunts" to which "The Barber" was destined. The air of Berta was suggested, to' put it mildly, by a Rus sian melody which Rossini had heard a lady sing In Rome and he put It Into the opera at her request, while the first eight measures of the tuneful trio in the last act, "Zittl. zlttl, piano, piano," are taken note for note from Simon's nir in Haydn's oratorio "The Creation Perhaps having scored so ereat a. sue cess with one nf his own oratorio melo dies, Kosslnl thought he would see how one of Haydn's would work. It worked well. .When the opera was completed Rossini received $400 for the work. There Is no record that out of It he nald any rojaltles to the other composers to whom ho was indebted for their lnoI- uniary assistance. It was a day ot rapid operatic com position, but Rossini's feat of compos ing a work of this length in thirteen days seemed to be regarded as some thing extraordinary and word of It was carried to Donizetti. That prolific and speedy composer sniffed and responded: "Very likely. Rossini Is so lazy." But then Donizetti had at that time written the libretto himself, composed tho music, conducted the rehearsals and given one performance of a little two net opera which he composed for pome friends of his who owned a falling thea tre, all In a space of nine days. How eer..he acted In a good cause and the work saved the theatre of his friends by Its success. Incidentally, only a few CHESTNUT BELOW AN ARRAY OF UNPARALLELED VAUDEVILLE STARS!
