of Paul Leicester Ford's book of that
name known that it came from the
clever brain and hand of Lille v.

And not only is this a fact. but the

was published from end to end Of the
country was likewise from her brush

the instinct that prompted Paul Lei
cester Ford's murder by his brother
was the instinct that prompted him to
withhold from Lille v. O'Ryan, then
a struggling young art student. the
credit that rightfully belonged to her.
But such is the tribulation of the
artist-folk, whom, somehow. the gods
protect, even though they do permit
them, at times, to suffer.
But in suffering the soul of the artist
expands. 1t teaches him to know. And

company by the standards that have
prevailed. for the reason that herev
tofore grand opera has generally been
the exploitation of favorite singers
without regard to artistic excellence.
Mr.. Savage's first move was to dis
card the star system His policy
is that Of ensemble performances.
Whether the opera be "Othello,"
Carmen" or 'Lohengrin." 1T Is the
opera and not some individual singer
that Mr.. Savage features" Gertrude
Rennyson's Desdemona has been COM
pared to that of Emma Eames. her
Elsa to Nordica's, and Joseph Shee-
hans Orthello to that of Tamagno.
and winfred Goff's Iago to Victor

merit that Mr.. Savage bases his sue
