Not a Soloist The Burridge Whistle Offends Orchestra
The Theodore Thomas re hearsing the Chicure Orchestra at the Auditorium Theater lives on as a humorous quarrel. The librarian reports Thomas’ compliment and asks Burridge to stop whistling during rehearsal. Burridge retorts that if he cannot whistle with the orchestra he will whistle at all. A bidding note follows about Mason City funding. George XI Bechtel & Co. won $54,000 in city bonds for water works and train extension.
