Here is the Boston Transcript on our
old friend Creatore. who. by the set
OF press notices in this direction, seems
to be heading this way. 1t viii not
surprise to learn that he appears
to be creating just the kind and size
OF furor in the East that he created
here. and think most of US would be
glad to see him But here is the
Transcript, most conservative OF jour
nails. on the volcanic conductor:
mo conductor who has yet appeared
in Symphony Hall has ever secured
such sounds Of thunder. such amazing
variations of rhythm. as has Mr.. Crea-
tore. He is likely to set Boston music
mad. as 1t is stated he did in New
York He is not only the most pictur-
esque OF conductors that ever was seen
here, but he is. besides. a mastery
leader OF men. who has his musicians
under perfect control. insomuch that
everything is played with wonderful
effectiveness. with force. sympathy and
nice discrimination. 1t leans to cli-
MAKES Of the most abrupt. fearful sort.
After you get used TO them you learn
to anticipate them with a sort OF joy
business 1t would be hard to imagine
a band playing the William Tell and
"Tannhauser' overtures in a more in
spring fashion. In these and the op-
cratic excerpts Creatore and his band
are IN their element. and fairly lift
one OF his feet

On his way to San Francisco Harold
Bauer was by way Of giving a con-
cert in the wilds of. Arizona-in PhOe-
nix, to be particular. The pianist's
programme. it is related, was TO be a
request one Naturally the event
aroused large interest among the local
musicians, whose mum bers, however.
are small compared with the prevailing
Indian and burrO. OF which more later.
But the musicians. as the Phoenix re-
porters say, made up in enthusiasts
what they lacked in numbers and pre-
pared TO do their SWEETEST. The big
chief after much pondering preferred
the following request, the Fifth SYM
phony or Beethoven, the intermezzO
from "CavaIleria Rusticana" and the
Schubert-Tausig "Marche MiIitaire'-
the tag end of the memory OF a Car
reno holiday doubtless. The last two
mattered not. the request ran patheti-
cally, but the Fifth Symphony the gen.
tlemen must have As Mr. Bauer es-
capped with his boots he must have
found some other means of pacifyins
the symphonic passion Of Phoenix.
Here is the programme he did give,
with 500 Indian children in the audi
ence. The hall promised to be too large
for the two musicians Of Phoenix. and
Mr.. Bauer invited the Indians to en-
joy the feast. I asked him why the
classical programme. mo other kind
would have been any fun" he said.

A recent issue of PearsOn's Magazine
contained the following expression from
Charles B. Sanford in response to the
question. Why does Shakespeare ap-
peal TO actor and audience?':
"To my mind the potency with which
Shakespeare appeals both to actor and
audience defies close analysis; 1t is
something of the same appeal which
the beauty of a landscape. the bril-
liancy Of the star-lighted heavens or
the blending magnificence of a sunset
sky exerts. Yet this much is sure
