very decided opinions regarding liter
AZURE. though he advances them mod
estly. The respect with which he
speaks Of the drama is amusing. In
his benighted country they still re
gard it as high form of literature.
But then there are no Frohmans or
theatrical trusts i'm Norway. He ex-
messed himself as heartily disguised

so far as he knew them. Who direct

not know. but he only went to see

the china kitten who is so dear to
most masculine hearts, seemed to him
'.verra foolish"
O, course he considers Ibsen the
great dramatist of the century,
though he says that this verdict is by
no means universal i'm Norway. 1t
seems that the public there is divided;
there are the people OF the old school
who bitterly protest against lbsen
and the red waist-coated radicals who
wear his name on their sleeves. When
asked what he considered lbsen's
greatest contributions to literature,
ne replied at once: Brand and Peer
Gynt. though only my own country
men can fully feel the force OF the
latter" He thinks the American
idea that Ibsen sdramas lack dramatic
interest and are coldly intellectual for
stage purposes a mere misapprehen-
sion, and says that they are the most
effective acting plays that have been
written In this generation.
When questioned as to what nation

long to the short note, is unmistak-
able. / think. however, that i'm the
first movement. the dddgio, the COM
poser pretty well exhausted his Afri-
can theme, after that he seems to en-
ploy it very little.
The second movement, the largo. is
placed in an altogether different
atmosphere. The mountains of the
Blue Ridge. the plantation fields of
the CarOlinas, the wide bayous of the
Mississippi fade away and before you
stretch the empty, hungry plains of
the middle west. Limitless prairies,
full of the peasantry of all the nations
OF Europe: Germans, Swedes. Norwe-
gians, Danes, Huns, Bohemians. Ro-
manians, Buigarians, Russians and
Poles, and it seems as though from
each OF those far scattered lights that
at night mark the dwellings of these
people on the plains, there comes the
song Of hOmesick heart. The prin-
cipal is sung with exquisite effect by
the English horn over soft accom-
paniment of the divided strings. full
Of plaintive yearning. 1t is this song
Of inconsistencies, the exile song CT
many nations. The work of NJ. De-
vaux, who played the English horn
was absolutely faultless. The largo
closes with little staccatO melody, be-
gun by the oboe and taken up by one
instrument after another until it
masters the orchestra, as though
morning was come, and the times for
dreams was over, and the peasant was
hurrying to his pillow to master a
strange soil and make the new world
his own.
The scherzo and allegro were played
in excellent style and with great dash
and spirit. The ending, you remem-
Der, is particularly striking. 1t be-
gins like any other ending, with a
saving and crashing and banging of
many instruments, but when this in
strumental explosion has reached its
highest pitch, there comes that long,
high final note on the wind i1stru-
ments that seems to rise out of that
vortex Of sound like an aspiration,
seems to rise clear into the evening
sky and tremble there like star. 1t
is like the flight Of the dove over the
waste Of waters. that last note, there
is all the hope of the new world in it.
