No hait was offered to novelty seek

the New Vork Symphony at Carnegie

upon the futurists, Mr. Damrosch pre¬

than Debussy on his list, and he is

The soloist was Mme. Sigrid Onegin,
whose radiant personallty und glorious
voice were, as always, a delight. An
air from Mozart’s“Titus' and three
Beethoven songs were her numbers, in
all of which she sang with beautiful
tone and expressiveness and won warm
applause.
The principal orchestral number was

suave beauty is undeniable and was
not obscured yesterday, but it was not
