Karl Krueger and the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra will bring
to a close their triumphal 1943-
44 season on Feb. 24 with t h e
playing of the Tschaikowsky
Symphony No. 6 and Mr. Krue-
ger's Symphonic Synthesis from
"The Twilight of the Gods."
The Tschaikowsky (The Pathet-
ique) is being repeated because
of the numerous requests.
Krueger has encompassed in
his Synthesis from "Die Gotter-
dammerung" t h e highlights of
the complete cycle and has wov-
en the material into a form as
beautiful as it is profound.
This season has -been a phe-
nomenal one in that, on short
notice, the orchestra was reor-
ganized and season ticket sales
made a record by chalking up
84 per cent of a 4,800 capacity
house.
It is estimated that Krueger
and the orchestra, in 18 sub-
scription concerts plus an extra
evening have played to 95,000
people. That, with the 60,000
reached in 12 Saturday morning
children's concerts, proves the
far-reaching arm of -the Detroit
Symphony.
Silver Blue Mink,
Rarest Fur, Now on
Exhibit at Annis'
The rarest fur in the world
today — a finger-tip Mandarin
Coat With bracelet sleeves—is
now on exhibition at Annis Furs
where it is offered for sale.
This creation is the result of
years of scientific research and
experiencing by mink breeders.
It is a Silver Blue Platinum
Mink, and is of genuine natural
color untouched by dyers' brush.
The changes of color were
brought about by scientific food
diets and special breeding of
mutations. Often these color
controls breed larger animals of
fuller dye and stronger pelts.
An invitation is extended by
Annis Furs to see this Silver
Blue Platinum Mink.

Heifetz Describes His
Agvearance at a Camp
Jascha Heifetz admits that be-
fore his first camp concert he
was more nervous at the prospect
of appearing before the men in
uniform than he had ever been
in his 41 years.
He discovered that he'd have
to act as his own "master of
ceremonies" for one thing and
that, to the reserved Heifetz, was
a frightening prospect. "But," he
says, "I just walked out and told
them 'I don't know whether
you'll like it or not, but you're
going to get some Bach just
the same."
Heifetz will appear at the Ma-
sonic Auditorium on Monday,
Feb. 28. Tickets can be obtained
at Grinnell's.
