THE TELEPHONE DID NOT SPEAK FRENCH

young lawyer to the Cleaner the other day When

to learn that distinguished person was to

but the French professor could tell. one OF his

He accordingly arw the professor and asked
him when VI. lola would be in the city. The pro-
fessor looked conscious ana replied. on Thursday

American character consists. for though we wish
to reserve the privilege of discussing its merit
a work of art until after the public performance
has afforded better opportunities for forming an
opinion than have yet been offered. there need be
no hesitation in saying that the music fully justi
fes the title which Dr. Dvorak has given II. The
basis Of this article is a hearing at private re-
hearsal and a study Of the score.
The composition is DR.. Dvoraks ninety-ffth
numbered work and is called his fifth SYM

To musicians familiar with the other compost

himself with the conventional symphonic orchestra

with what might be thought to be simply superb

demonstrate that his contention does not need
extraneous help however useful and interesting.
For the reason. too. he has adhered more
closely 10 the established forms than In his other
orchestral works. In some OF his other co'nposi-
TONS which have Bohemian cast. he introduced
formal elements drawn from Czechish music, but
not here. He has depended upon the meodic IDEAS
and the spirit OF the work to disclose its national
