Lake Harriet
"The most popular of the best and
the best of the most popular; that is
what l shall select for the season at
Lake Harriet this year, says Emil
the Minneapolis Park band, which be-
gins its season at the Lake Harriet roof
garden Monday night.

eral public does not know good music
from bad. The great majority of those
IN an audience may not know how or
why something is badly selected or
badly played, but they know they do
not like it-and the general public is
pretty discriminating.
During the last summers season at
Lake Harriet some of the most enthusi-
astic applause which greeted our efforts
and the people certainly gave us any
amount of moral support-was given
to Wagner numbers and others of that
quality. But anyone with common sense
must know that mixed audience, even
with the best possible taste, does not
want the best music all the time. So
we shall have just what I have told
