Community Asked to Contribute Fund of $46,-
000 Necessary to Assure Continuation
of Season's Activities
at
T
F
The Detroit Jewish Chronicle
joins with the daily newspapers
of Detroit and our radio stations
in an appeal to the community
to subscribe the $16,000 that is
necessary to assure the continua-
tion of the Detroit Symphony Or-
chestra's activities for the bal-
ance of the season.
Murray G. Paterson, manager
of the symphony, this week re-
vealed facts regarding the status
of the society which should serve
to arouse the community to ac-
tion. Mr. Paterson said:
"The Detroit Symphony Or-
chestra needs immediate financial
aid and unless gifts of $46,000
are forthcoming in the next two
weeks, the orchestra will be forced
to curtail its present season at
least four weeks, ending Feb.
18, instead of March 10, as orig-
inally planned. Should this be-
come necessary, concert schedules
for the remaining weeks will have
to be doubled if every season
ticket holder is to get the full
course of concerts that have been
paid for. The length of the sym-
phony season was cut in 1933
from 28 weeks to 21 weeks and
should it become necessary this
year further to reduce the sea-
son to 17 weeks, I shall recom-
mend to the Detroit Symphony
Society board of directors that
no attempt be made to plan fu-
ture seasons."
Several weeks ago Paterson
was host to the annual meeting
je
of managers of the 16 most im-
portant symphony orchestras in
the country. At this two-day ses-
sion all figures for the past sea-
son were gone over carefully. It
was found that the total costs of
these 16 orchestras for the 1938-
1939 season were $4,880,000, that
total earnings were $2,882,000
and that total deficits (all 16 or-
chestras combined) were $1,998,.
000.

Eight of the orchestras had
a combined endowment income
of $362,000 to offset the deficit
of nearly $2,000,000. Detroit
was in last place in this group,
reporting an endowment in-
come for 1936-1939 of $8,600.
For the first time in its his-
tory, with the aid of newspapers
and radio, the Symphony makes
an appeal to the public for
funds with which to carry on.

During 1939-1940, the main-
tenance fund needed in gifts is
$160,000. The amount received
up to Jan. 10 was $114,000, leav-
ing the present deficit of $46,-
000. The sum of $30,000 of this
$46,000 is accountable by gifts
made last year that haven't come
in this year.
No contribution is deemed too
small or too large, and our read-
ers are urged to lend their sup-
port to the campaign to save the
Symphony by sending their con-
tributions with the coupon ap-
pended to this article.

Local Groups Adopt Resolutions
Honoring Memory of J. H. Ehrlich
Many Detroit organizations
have adopted resolutions express-
ing sorrow over the passing of
Joseph H. Ehrlich and paying
tribute to his memory.
The resolution adopted by the
board of trustees of Congrega-
tion Shaarey Zedek declares:
"May his luminous memory
continue to serve as an inspira-
tion to all who knew and re-
spected him and who had the
privilege of working side by side
with him. May the knowledge
that he represented a great and
wholesome force for good in our
community, and that his service
to his people has enriched the
lives of many, strengthen his
sorrowing family. May the Source
of all Consolation comfort and
sustain them. The memory of Jo-
seph H. Ehrlich will remain for
an eternal blessing to us."
Numerous gifts to important
causes are being given by De-
troit Jews in memory of Mr.
Ehrlich. The Jewish Welfare
Federation, Hadassah, the Jew-
ish National Fund, the North
End Clinic and other agencies
have already received contribu-
tions.

Joseph Szigeti, Great Violinist,
to Be Soloist
An all-Brahms program with
Joseph Szigeti, one of the greatest
of all present-day violinists, as
soloist, will be played by the De-
troit Symphony Orchestra, Franco
Ghione, conductor, at the concerts
of Thursday night, Jan. 25, and
Friday afternoon, Jan. 26, in Ma-
sonic Temple. The concerts will
mark Szigeti's first appearance in
Detroit in concert since 1926,
when he was presented with the
late Ossip Gabrilowitsch.
Szigeti was born in Budapest,
Sept. 5, 1892, and studied at the
Budapest Royal Academy under
the great Jeno Hubay. His con-
cert debut was made at the age
of 13 and subsequently he toured
extensively throughout all of Eu-
rope. As a teacher, before coming
to the United States, Szigeti suc-
ceeded Marteau at the Geneva
Conservatory.
Last year saw Szigeti chosen as
the only violinist beside Kreisler
at the London May Music Festi-
val; brought what is said to have
been the first telecast by a world
famous musician of a complete
violin concerto: Szigeti with the
BBC Orchestra at the London
Television Studios playing the
Mendelssohn Concerto; found Szi-
geti in the Beethoven Cycle in
Brussels under the great Beetho-
ven interpreter, Weingartner.
