is one OF the most rabid enemies Of "sa-

He remarks: 'If this be art. then let the
music of the future find her mission in

the staid and scholarly critics OF New York
have burned into the columns of their
various journals is fairly startling For

and let loose hurricanes Of spontaneous
word painting
The end is not yet!
