...audiences have fallen off since Maestro Arturo Toscanini left the orchestra in 1936. "The Old Man" well earned his $50,000 a year by his hard riding of the Philharmonic, which was then as fast and tautnerved as a fine race horse. Regular conductor now is a lightweight, Anglo-Italian John Barbirolli. For the birthday year, he is being spelled by eight guest conductors.* But eight jockeys are no good for one horse.

Spit most staggering to the Lion was his sudden cancellation in 1932 of the old William Knox D'Arcy contract which had now burgeoned into the monster British Government-subsidized Anglo-Persian (later Anglo-Iranian) Oil Co.
