SIR ARTHUR SULLIVAN.

The fine humanity of Sullivan was
something more than a source of must
cal inspiration. 1t took the form of
that geniality kindly humor, and hap
Ply knack of saying and doing the right
thing, which made him everywhere an
object of affeetionate regard. How this
gift helped him in his musical career
Is easy to imagine. AS a conductor and
trainer he could show the iron hand
when necessary, but he preferred the
velvet glove, and, indeed, his gentle
ness sufficed, for the most part. For
some time during the early years of
our acquaintance, Sullivan was organ
list at ST. Michael's, Chester square; his
choir, as regards the adults in it, be-
ing made up of policemen. / some
times accompanied him to rehearsal
and never ceased to admire the way
in which he kept the constables at the
boiling-point of enthusiasm as we'll as
on the brink of laughter. The organ
lists good spirits We're infectious, and,
though, as he himself sang in after
years, Taking one consideration with
another, a policeman's life is not a
happy one, l. WUulQ D3 DOu0u tldC the
"able-bodied" of ST. Michaels were,
during rehearsal, as cheerful as all the
birds in the air. They could not help
it, neither could their musical chief help
it either, so ebullient was his good-na-
ture, and so captivating his charm.
Whether this precious social quality
was everywhere and in all respects adj
is a question not here to be
discussed. 1 will only say that are is
an eXacting mistress.
We may, perhaps, attribute to Sulli-
vans keen sense of humor and ex-
quisite sympathy with all things pleas
ant and cheerful, some part of his re-
success as a composer of
comic opera after the Savoy manner
Much has been said, pro and con, re-
garding the devotion of the composer
to this form of his art, and it seems to
me that his critics have often overshot |
the mark. AS far as L am myself con-
this is of no moment |
should have been better pleased had
