Physicians and others anticipating a call will please notify the Manager. Patrons finding lost articles are requested to leave them with coatroom attendant or the Head Usher.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation • Member Federal Reserve System High Fidelity's Ultimate Standard: ILLUSION
The term high fidelity has been used so freely that its literal meaning is often forgotten. It does not refer to over- loud, over-reso- nant, over-bril- liant sound, but to the faithful re-creation of a musical perform- ance.
The ultimate test The moment of transition from live to recorded sound: AR-3 speakers of a high fidelity and Dynakit amplifiers take over from the Fine Arts Quartet. system, then, is a direct compari- son with the sound of the original instruments
Such a comparison was made during the 1960 hi-fi show in New York City, when AR speakers and Dynakit amplifiers vied with the Fine Arts Quartet in a "live vs. recorded" concert. At intervals the Quartet stopped playing and allowed the hi-fi system to take over, using pre- recorded sections of the music, without missing a beat.
McProud, editor of Audio, reported: "We must admit that we couldn't tell when it was live and when it wasn't." The Herald Tribune referred to "awesome fidelity". Record reviewer Canby wrote: "My eyes told me one thing, my ears another." Freas, audio editor of High Fidelity, wrote: "Few could separate the live from the recorded portions."
After all of the trade jargon and esoteric talk at hi-fi shows, this was the real thing.
ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AR-3 LOUDSPEAKERS, driven by Dynakit amplifiers, components designed for the home, created the illusion. Although these compo- nents are medium priced,* they are widely regarded as representing the highest quality that the present state of the art makes possible.
Further information on these products is available for the asking.
°A complete high fidelity record playing system using the above components would cost about $750. You may hear such a system (also less expensive units) at AR Music Rooms, on the west balcony of New York's Grand Central Terminal, and at 52 Brattle St. in Cambridge, Mass.

Does it make sense to spend $159* for an FM radio?
i © S , if you love good music reproduced with a tonal quality unequalled except at much greater cost. In which case it makes a great deal of sense to invest in the KLH FM Receiving System. This revolutionary system was developed by a firm of research engineers and consists of two units: (1) a precisely engineered FM receiver which tunes in a multitude of FM stations—near and distant without drifting or fading; (2) TWO KLH speakers made with the same skills that produce speakers costing as much as a thousand dollars. The 30-ft. cord connecting the units permits you to place them to suit the acoustics of your room and a reel on the back neatly winds up any excess cord. You can play records with the same beautiful tone by the addition of a Garrard player with GE magnetic cartridge and diamond needle. Campbell's will install this, plus base and adaptor for only $74. Last but not least, all KLH parts, including tubes, are unconditionally guaranteed for two years. Carrying case available on special order. Campbell's believes so strongly in the superiority of KLH, we'll gladly bring a set to your home or office for demonstration. Just phone any location below.

But who in this age, so remote from the literary aesthetic of that one, will attempt to "understand" Berlioz in the light of all these influences, or reconcile them with a "love affair" which existed purely in his own imagination? The motivation of the simplest music is not to be pene- trated—let alone this one. Enough that Berlioz directed his rampant images, visual, musical or literary, into what was not only a symphonic self-revelation, but a well-proportioned, dramatically unified symphony, a revolution in the whole con- cept of instrumental music comparable only to the Eroica itself.J
