WE SPECIALIZE ON BRAKE REPAIRING EDDIE'S GARAGE WHITE ROSE SERVICE STATION MUSIC ALBUM BY IRVEN On December 22nd a great mus- iclan dled. He was a great man, too, and there is mo doubt but what he will be al thought of as one of the immortals. A Ger- man by birth, Walter Damrosch, for that is who he was, came to the United States in 1871 with his father, also a musician. Music wa; very life and soul. He was 88 when he died, and although he retired from ac- tive . participation in 1926, he could not stay retired. After one year he was in harness again and organized the first educational concerts to be broadcast. Millions of school children will remember his quaint way of saying, "Now. the next numbah." I used to hear it myself occasionally. He would explain a certain passage and then play it on the piano. He first gained prominence 10 years after coming to his new Historic Boswell Book Latest Library Listing "London Journals," the book by James Boswell which is exciting such great interest in literary circles, is among the newest ad- ditions to Oakville's public lib- rary. Among others in the non- fiction list ave "Portrait of a) Genius But," a biography of D. Lawrence, the famous Bglish writer, by Richard Aldington; "Florence Nightingale," by Cecil WoodhamsSmith; "Venus Obser- ved," by Christopher Fry; "Can- adian Art," by Graham McInnes; and Braithwaite's "The Bewitoh- ed Parsonage." Among the latest fiction ac- quisitions are "The Backward Bride," by Aubrey Menen; "Tur- vey," by Earle Birney; "A Grove Of Fever Trees," Daphne Rooke; "The Balance Wheel," Taylor Caldwell; and "River Of The Sun," by J. R. Ullman. home when he became conductor of the Newark, N.J., Harmonic Society. Perhaps the youngest | manager of the Metropolitan Op- era Co. he held the position when he was 23 years of age. That was in 1885, and we must admit that it was a great responsibility for one so young. His father, Leopold, had held the position previously. He died very suddenly. In 1891, Mr. Damrosch opened the famous Carnegie Hall with a musical festival to which he in- vited the Russian composer Tchaikowsky as the star attract- fon. It was in 1894 that he formed his own Wagnerian opera com- pany and toured the United States. He organized the New York Symphony into a permanent group in 1903, and was its director un- til 1926, whew he resigned. At this time he was 64, but his res- ignation did not last very long, fr he came out of retifement to become the musical counsellor for the National Broadcasting Company, a position he held for 20 year: During the first world war he went to France and organized. an orchestra for the entertainment of the American doughboys and later, at the request of General Pershing, Mr. Damrosch formed the famous band school at Chau- mont. This was really the begin- ning of the famous band school at Fontainebleau. He did some composing in his "spare" time. Two operas of his were perform- ed at the Metropolitan Opera House, Cyrano, a four act opera and "The Man Without a Coun- A Seas," which boosted her to im- mediate stardom. Again in "My Dream Is Yours" and in "Tea for Two," which further ingreased the Day popularity, Sakall was featured in the cast. Now in the technicolor musical "Lullaby of Broadway", Sakall is portraying Doris' guardian angel -- something - he seems to be in real life DANCES DARING DANCE Gene Nelson has created an- other brilliant original dance num- to compete conga drum breathtaking stair- laby with his number and dazzling case bannister number in "Tea For Two." Nelson had to conceive a num- ber that would be unusual and still would be appropriate for the setting which is a party sequence in the swank home of a wealthy brewer, played by S. Z Sakall Music for the party is played by the Page Cavanagh Trio, who use a tiny upright piano. So Nel- son derived a new dance creation which starts with a tremendous leap from the floor to the top of the tiny piano and then completes it on the piano top to the tune of 'Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart." And the piano top isn't much larger than an over-sized special delivery stamp! 3 Guest of the Week If D. B. McCUNN, | Ave., will present himself at the 69 Colborne St. W.

They were chances which could have meant financial ruin. The tours he made with the New York Symphony and his own opera company were called educational ventures of great daring. His was a life well lived. In doing something which he loved to do, he brought pleasure to many millions of people. He left the world a better place for his hav- ing lived in it.
