course in listening to his selections,
however, has endowed us with suf>
fcient fortitude, we trust, to endure
this fresh affection, and steeIed by
feouent applications Of the "5yren
Wanzes| and "Sing Song Kitty
Won't You Ki Me Oh" We feel SUI
fieieutly csllouEed TO be abe
tn meet this shock with comparative
indifference.
The great trouble with Professor
/ Thomas il that lie has worked him.
splflnto the dead positive ConVIc-
+5on that his administration IN the
Theatre orchestra is Objectionable
to the Drsmatic and Lyric writer of
his paper. and TO thst person alone;
he does no: hear the litter with
which some # Lis selections are re-
ceiyed, nor the half-audible grOans
that run about the paIQ1et at the
commencement Of others; the COM
plants that reach the box Office ap-
nsrentIy never penetrate his ear,
and he labors unconsciously on, IN
aware that tie region back of him
is a bowling wilderness of an
1 athemas. II it were true that sll
complaints and all dissatisfaction
existed only in Dramatic and Lyric,
: to what may be ascribed the COM
! planning letters we recently men
toned as having been printed in
THE HERALD twelve or fifteen
years ago, 10 say nothing of the
comments made from time to time
by writer's in other papers? Il this
were in the least personal matter,
the Professor may be assured it
would not find publication In the
columns OF THE HERALD, and if
Dramatic and Lyric had not re-
ceyed sufficient public commenda-
ton to convince him where the
p0pulsr sentiment lies, he would as
3uT8dly hesitate before pursuing
any further so unpleasant task.
What are Professor Thomas par
tiellar claims in the musical line
mat entitle him to the position of
leader of the Theatre orchestra for
life? Or what Mysterious claim on
The house has he established that he
g le.aioed IL spite Of the protest of
It's patrORe, and the fact thSt any
ale Of his band is an ADLER musician
and performer? Should not the
'6ad.T Of al orchestra be able to
lead with his Instrument? And will
The most deiuded Ut his followers
claim that Professor Thomas is an
efficient performer on The violin ?
What has been his record Of musical
achievements in the past? What
was the Artistic estimate CT the
t0rcerer,s work undertaken under 8
most of the most favorable auspices
that a conductor could desire? What
mas become Of Zio s Musical So.
Getty, al organization whose future
prospects had never been equeled
d the time it was given into the
ffofessor's hands? What height of
celebrity has the GIee Club attained
atIer years Of practice under the
Professors tuition? These queries
We !esYe TO echo Or any one else
disposed to reply.
