ORCHESTRA TO OPEN SEASON Gabrilowitsch to Appear Conductor and Soloist, October 10-11. Thursday evening, October 10, and Friday afternoon, October 11, mark the opening of Detroit a musical season when the Detroit Symphony orchestra, Ossip Gabrilowitsch conducting, plays the first pair of symphony concerts in Orchestra hall. Tha return of Ossip Gabrilowitsch to the conductorship of the orchestra recalls to concert-goers both his first appearance as permanent conductor at the concert of November 7, 1918, in Arcadia, and the first concert the following year In Orchestra hall, the Detroit Symphony orchestra now having completed 10 years In Its permanent home.

Two of the compositions on this opening program were played at the dedication of Orchestra hall on that memorable evening of October 23, 1919 the Weber Overture to the Opera, "Oberon," and the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven. No finer example of Instrumental coloring has ever been produced than tht orchestration of the "Oberon" Overture. From the first notes of tha horn of "Oberon" to the splendid camax, it is the work of a matured musical genius and a fine opening number for this season of 1929-1930. The Beethoven Fifth Symphony, In Minor, was first performed in Vienna on December 22. 1808.

After 110 years It still remains as fresh and Interesting as the day Jt was first performed. Mr. Gabrilowitsch has played this composition five times In the 10 years he has been the conductor of the Detroit Symphony orchestra. His poetical reading cf Beethoven has won for him highest praise from critics the world over, and It is regarded a happy choice on this first program. The return of Mr.

Gabrilowitsch to Detroit's musical life Is made complete on this occasion as he is also to appear as soloist with the orchestra, playing the Schumann Concerto for plnno and orchestra, in A Minor, Op. 54. In all his many aolo appearances In Detroit with the orchestra, Mr. Gabrilowitsch has played his concerto only once, some five years ago. Those who are familiar with this masterpiece realize the brilliance of both the piano score and the orchestra accompaniment.

This composition brines the associate conductor, Victor Kolar, to the podium. WILL GIVE TALK ON THE HISTORY OF MUSIC Tuesday evening, October 8, at 8:15 o'clock, the first of a series of lectures on the "History of Music," will be given in the large auditorium of the Detroit Institute of Arts, by Frank Bishop, pianist and curator of music. The scope of the lecture will Include music of primitive man through ancient civilizations to the Christian era un to the seventeenth century. These lectures are free to the public.

Typical Canvas of 17th Century Portraiture to Be Discussed by Mrs.

McLaughlin. A typical example of seventeenth 1 century Dutch portraiture painted i by one of Rembrandt's pupils will be the subject of Mrs. H. A. Mc-1 Laughlin's discussion over WJR at 12 o'clock today.

The following questions have i been prepared to aid In the Inter- pretation of the reproduction which appears In the rotogravure section I of this mornings Free Press: Does this subject carry an adequate idea of the characteristics of seventeenth century Dutch painting? Why? iiy whom was this picture painted? Who was his master? Why was it possible to pass off his early works as those of his instructor? In what does their great difference lie? What qualities characterize bis later works? For what themes wag he most noted? What are the distinguishing features of this artist's works? What Is the present day estimate of his paintings? When and where was he born and what is known of his life? What famous painting by this artist have we already used in this series? Who is the sitter In today's picture? Do you recall her interesting life story? What is Bhe doing? Describe ner attitude, her dress, her face and her hands. What is she wearing about her neck? Do you think this Is a figure subject? Why? What do you think about first, what the girl la doing or the girl herself? What does this tell you about the center of interest? How has the artist subordinated everything to It? Does not this girl seem to be a real human being? What about the painting of the fowl? How would you classify this painting? Where may the original be seen? Popular Concerts Begin October 13 The first series of Popular Sunday afternoon concerts opens In Orchestra hall, October 13, at 3:30 o'clock. As has been the custom during the last few years, this first concert will be made up of numbers chosen by those who have attended the Belle Isle summer season, and Victor Kolar is now busy arranging this first program from the 90-odd pieces which have been requested. As it will only be possible to play eight or nine of these selections the choice will be limited to those numbers which were requested the most often.

BY FRANK K. WASHBCJBN FKL'EKD. New York, Oct. 5. There is tremendous activity going on at present in all the galleries for antique as well as for new art, prior to the opening of the new season of which everyone expects great things.

Most of the dealers in old masters have returned to town by now and are busy unpacking the treasures they found in the various European places during the summer. There is a general concensus of opinion that desirable pictures, desirable as to quality as well as to subject, are terribly hard to procure, but, all the same, many of the dealers have brought back with them quite a number of very attractive works, so that collectors all over America will have a wonderful time picking out just what strikes their fancy. Van Dlemen Galleries. At the Van Diemen Galleries can now be seen a large and grand portrait by Van Dyck of his second Anterwerp period. It Is the full length figure of a bearded man, Jonnes Baptista de Bisthoven, a Jesuit priest, dressed in the black habit of his order and standing against a stone wall with his right arm resting on a column.

The face is finely modelled and the treatment of the black in the costume Is masterly In Its gradations. The figure is well placed in the canvas and the whole picture has a striking monumental effect. There is a long and imposing pedigree attached to it, cluminating with its having been exhibited last spring in the already famous Van Dyck exhibition which Dr. Valentiner arranged In the Detroit institute. In Detroit the painting aroused well deserved enthusi- asm, and It would not be surprising to learn that It had gone back there 1 to remain permanently in one of the great Detroit collections.

In this connection, I might mention that the Van Dlemen Galleries have just presented the Detroit Institute with the splendid portrait of a man by Van Dyck which will greatly strengthen the representation of this master in the institute's collection. The Eh rich Galleries. The Ehrich Galleries have among other treasures, ecured direct from the family, the strong, virile portrait of Colonel Gordon, by Raeburn, In which this famous Scottish master has succeeded In giving to his sitter the character of a typical representative of his native conutry. The portrait belongs to Raeburn's later period. The Pveinhardt Galleries will, like last year, open their season about the middle of October with a representative show of oils, wafer colors and drawings by the well known modern French masters, Dyas.

Cezanne. Matisse, Derain, Picasso, L'trilio. Modigliani, etc. The Newhouw Gallerle. The New-house Galleries, whose manager was able during his The last of the five Walter C.

Piper purchase prize exhibitions, which opened Tuesday evening at the Scarab club, is deemed by officials of the club to be -the finest. John Morse, president, has characterized it as not only typical of the work of the artist members, but as showing more than ordinary interest and enthusiasm. Clyde H. Burroughs, who opened the show with an Informal address expressed himself as highly gratified with the showing made by his co-members of the club, and with the extraordinary interest taken by non-members and Detroit's art lovers In general in this and similar exhbitions. Five years ago Walter C.

Piper offered a prize for the best picture submitted by a member of the Scarab club to an exhibition assembled for this purpose. The prize offered, while it was an Inducement to exhibitors, was not the only incentive that gave Impetus to the show. A spirit of friendly rivalry had developed, and Interest ran so high that the fhow became, eventually, the most Important of the season. With this Increase In Importance, Mr. Piper raised his prize offer to and the second year found the painter members of the club making even greater efforts for the success of the show.

During the past three years the exhibition has marked the opening of the art season, and this year 35 exhibitors are taking part in it. The two outstanding paintings, In the opinion of this reporter, are Samuel Halpert's "Root Tops" and an excellently painted landscape by Willard Nash. Halpert's painting has in It the thorough mastery of every element of his art, the work of a man sure of himself and of his medium, the unobtrusive perfection of technique and the restraint of an artist. It is without question the finest painting of the many excellent canvases in the show. Nash, whose landscapes sre familiar to Detroiters.

is thoroughly at home In the picture he has submitted. There Is a depth of perspective difficult of attainment under the circumstances, and a fedlng for space and form that few other canvases display.

'T S'Trfl T', M- 'Vrt rr in The mu-ical program was arranged by Mrs, Harris Marflen. director of free concerts, and by Clara Pyar. president of the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, chairmen of fre concert. Some of the most Interesting of the pictures displayed are Roy Gamble's Paris street scene, in which he employs somewhat bolder color than has marked the works seen hitherto by this reporter; Harper's picture of a child swinging; a glowing decorative panel by Paul Honore; Leon Makielskl's portrait with a brilliant blue background; a portrait of Allecn Lowery by the etcher, Charles Barker, who turned to oils with surprising results; Arthtur Marschner's "In tho Lagoon;" a seascape by Floyd Nixon; Harry Smith's beautiful water-color design called "White Magic," and a tile fountain by Walter Speck. The only Industrial is a charcoal sketch, for a lithograph, by Clyde Nordquist.

The prize winner is to be decided upon by a ballot taken among the contributors to the show, and tho award will be made at a dinner to be held on the nineteenth. The picture is to become a part of the permanent collection of the club. The pictures are shown In the main gallery and the Bmallcr west gallery of the club, and the show Is open to the public.
