A native New Yorker, Morton Gould is noted as a conductor and pianist as well as for compositions which include three American Symphonettes and the popular Pavane.

Shostakovich's First Symphony was written when the composer was only 19. Its success was immediate and it now is a standard work in the repertoire of leading orchestras. It is remarkable for its vigorous, compelling rhythms and for the poignant beauty of its slow movement. The work is the inspiration for one of the most arresting of modern ballets, "Rouge et Noir." i Deems Taylor is intermission commentator for the series of Sunday afternoon Philharmonic Symphony concerts being broad cast over Columbia network for the 13th consecutive season.

She will bring a talented Chinese musician along with her to the broadcast to play some of the ancient melodies. Delia Bird, of Philadelphia, always wanted to be a singer.

But she was so badly crippled in an accident that her musical ambitions never came to fruition. Yet she continued with her studies.

She makes about fifteen calls a day many to people who are ill or recovering from long illnesses.

Ra nier, has a veritable treas ure of lecai lore, unbelievable facts about strange laws of many lands.
