EIGHT PAGES THIS SYMPHONY HAS PLAN FOR "LIGHTENING" PLAYERS' FACES?The North Carolina Symphony is trying an experiment to lighten Che faces of its players- who wear dark suits and dresses for the evening conceits. The Little ?ymphony will play in Murphy on Monday, March 5. The system is to wear stoles of nylon tricot, and the idea was suggested by Ed Kiricpatrick of the Carolina Haymakers. Twelve-yard lengths of nylon tricot were donat ed by Burlington Mills and four Home Demonstra tion clubs in Orange county volunteered to make the stoles. The four clubs are located at Smith Level, Fairfield, Orange Grove and Bogerson Drive Shown here are three members from the Smith Level club who did most of tAe sewing. Left to right: Mrs. Leary Wilson, Mrs. Henry Bowden, Mrs. ?N. W. Dollar, Mrs. Kathryn Hamrick, County Home Demonstration agent, and Mrs. Jane C. Freed, Symphony publicity director, who is seen modeling one of the stoles. Little Symphony Orchestra To Give Two Concerts Here The Little Symphony at the North Carolina Symphony Orches tra is scheduled to appear in con ceit in mt&a .ftfcogLwl&qjjiw at 8:30 p. m. Monday. For the children a special mati nee program will be given at 1:30 p. m. in the school gymnasium. The Little Symphony was brought into being to provide symphony music for those communities which dc not have stages of sufficient size to allow room for the seventy pieces of a full orchestra. Music must be recorded, and this must be done so as to retain the balance of the original. The music cf the great masters ] ii adapted to the restricted condi-! tions of the small Stage. To trans port the musicians, their instru- i merrts and equipment, and the assistants is a serious bus considera tion. Director Swalin, director, revi talized the orchestra in 1939. He has built it co its present perfec tion. In creating. the Little Symphony he has solved the prob lem of bringing great musical per formance to the small towns. Ben jamin Swalin directs both the North Carolina Symphony and its compact "Little Symphony".
