Beecham Again
HEN Sir Thomas Beecham announced his new Royal Philharmonic Orchestra recently, he explained that there were no women in it, because, "if the lady is not well-favoured, the male instrumentalists do not wish to play near her; if she is well-favoured, they can’t." He added: "Not that I don’t think women are good musicians." After a season of eight months of fortnightly concerts, the new orchestra will probably tour England and the Continent, eventually visiting the United States. Sir Thomas Beecham is reported to have said that 60 or 70 United States cities had asked him to let them hear an English orchestra.
