" As far as 'novelty is concerned. Mis Kullmer is in complete agreement.. She has her own orchestra or-chestra in the U, S. and has appeared ap-peared as a guest conductor for the, Mew York Philharmonic and a major radio symphony, but she discovered the business of conducting! con-ducting! music is not as international interna-tional a language as music Itself. - Her French is somewhat halt ing,-and she and the 80 Paris Conservatory musicians found ; themselves all at sea during the 'first rehearsal because they were I misinterpreting her directions, i which she gives without benefit of baton . .
