STOKES OR STOKOWSKI?
Sir-Dr. Edgar Ford, a visiting music examiner, is the latest to circulate the myth that Leopold Stokowski’s real name is "Stokes." I feel sure Dr. Ford will not persist with this story when he knows the facts, which are (a), that Stokowski’s birth certificate reads "Leopold Antony Stokowski," and (b), that his father was Polish and his mother Irish.
