That is the rec erd of Gerald S. Woerner ' . Although Woerner was graduated from Frankford high school only five years ago, he has played under the batons of such celebrated conductors as Stokowski, of the Philadelphia Sym phony; Rodzinski, of the Cleveland Symphony; Hadley, of the Pennsyl vania Symphony; Frey, of the Phila delphia Conebrt Band; and Riener and Nylnamski, of the Philadelphia Grand Opera company. While with the Philadelphia Sym phony, Woerner's role was chiefly that of an extra.
