Laura Sedgv'ick Collins. She has been
marvelously prolific, nor has her work
been marred or sighted n the least by
the afiiuence that has marked it.
Born with the very soul of music
singing in her heart Miss Collins began
to compose songs. and melodies before
she was able to define the meaning OF
either music or verse. There is scarce
IL a branch of composition that she
has Rot essayed, and always with sue
cess.
Besides these, Miss Collins has writ
ten more than 200 songs for children,
all of which have been sung in public;
the incidental music for Moliere's Pre-
cieuses Ridicules" and for "A Winter 5
Tale" both including songs, dances,
ETC.; all the music for the pantomime
OF ''Pierrot," produced several years
ago by Captain Alfred Thompson. and

One of the French papers in COM

Orpheus at a Partisan theatre, recalls
the fact that Bach, Handel and Bee

loving confidence. one night he took
the opera writer. Limander, home with
him and devoted the entire evening to
the playing OF Bach. His friend was
at first astounded. then became intense

A writer in the -Zeitschrift der Inter
nationalen MISUNDERSTANDING draws an
interesting comparison between the
great musical warriors of Europe,
Frederick the Great and Napoleon
Bonaparte. He says in part: Both
loved music and both had a preference
for the Italian music: for both it was
a recreation of the completest sort
from the WEAKNESS of war; both estab-
lished homes for the Italian opera; both
We're unusually liberal toward musi-
clans, this being in contrast with their
parsimOny in other directions: both en-
deayored to have put in musical form
ideas of their own, which. singularly
enough. were both OF Mexican ten
dency; with the one il was Montezuna.
with the other Ferdinand Cortez;
which both wished to put upon the
stage in lavish and magnificent man
ner. But there was this marked differ
ence between the two great soldiers:
Frederick the Great was himself a mu-
stefan of excellent taste and fine judg-
ment, while Napoleon understood moth
ing of the art OF its tecanic. Those
familiar with the life of Cherubini
know fully the extent of the Corsican's
appreciation of a great musician and
how his personal feelings entered into
his relations with the great men in
music Of his day.
