Los Angeles Times: While the

cause the sex does not want it, would
not use the right and could not bet
ter matters if it did, and while we be-

Some idiot, says a writer III The Sat-

no musical sense. AS matter of fact,
he had perfect ear, most musical
ringing voice, ard so fine a sense Of
beauty i'll sound Gus in everything elsel
that he could not endure the clattcr of
the pianofortc or the suualling and
shouting of the average singer. When /
told him that the Amsterdam choir
brought over here by NJ. de LANCE had
discovered the secret of the beauty of
medieval music and sang in with sur
passing excellence, he was full of regret
for having missed it, and the viol con
certs of NJ. Dolmetsch pleased him
greatly. Indeed, once during his illness,
when M. Dolmetsch played him some
really beautiful music on really beau
tiful instrument, he was quite overcome
by it.
once urged him to revive the man
ufacturo of musical instruments and
rescue us from the vulgar handsomencss
of the trade articles with which our or
chestras arc equipped, and he was by
no means averse to the idea, having al
ways, he avowed, thought he should
like to make good fiddle. Only neither
in music nor III anything else could you
engage him in any sort of intellectual
dilettantism. He would not waste his
time and energy on the curiosities and
fashions Of art, but went straight to its
highest nOiut in the direct and simple
production Of beauty.
