Arkaasdu ~7rdseler. Hs
Father" asked a young man OF Ills Gym
ical parent, "what Is grand. opera?"
~ don't KNOW"
'"Hhy are some operas called grand,
while others are not 80 Designated? II
seems to me that II a composer could
write grand opera he would never write
any other kind"
"Well.you see, It Is only by experiment
that a composer can determine whether
or not an opera Is grand. II, upon fist
production, tho music Is beyond tho abili-
ties oil the singers and bores the audience,
II Ia grand. The weary yawn Of a man
docs more, my Bon, 10 determine the value
OF on opera than the highest recommends
ton from a professional critic Of music.
II, though, the singer can climb to the
summit Of emergency, and II the
audience Is pleased, tie opera Is not
grand, and the composer goes away
dissatisfied, and disappointed and
disconsolate. Sometimes the composer
can correct the mistake brought to light on
tho prooteheet oil frat production. On
ono occasion a great composer produced
an opera which he hoped would be grand,
| but there was SO much music in 1t, the
singers did go well and the audience went
into such fits Of laughter and spasms Of en-
joylnent that the composer cav bis work
doomed to q Maynard life Of inferior mp
probation. After the performance no took
the opera and cat up oil night crossing out
the music, and marking III rasp flats aud
g%uinea-hcn sharps. He went with high
nope tho next night to got q revise. The
audience became restless. Men began to
talk business. A harness and buggy deal
er from a neighboring town sold three bug
gles, two sets OF harness and figured ex-
tensively on an omnibus trade. Women
drew their cloaks round their shoulders
and shivered. The voices on the stage
broke and fell In shattered fragments.
The composer went away happy. His
opera was grand"
"Did the people continue their patron.

the opera pronounced grand ?"
"Bless your ignorance, yes. Why the
increase in attendance was wonderful.
Previous to NJ OPERAS advent as grand
that is, before the music is crossed out
only people who really loved the concord
OF sweet sounds' went to see It, but after
wards It was alike to all. The man with
the dullest ear enjoyed il quite as much, or
pretended to, which is all the same, as the
person Whose spirit was stirred by the
gentle touch Of soul.born harmony"
"But, father, il there is really nothing

"Are all people thus actuatej?'
"Yet; that i, all who are honest enough
