LECTURE BY PROF. GRIGGs.
Complains that Americans Do Not
Appreciate Music and Art.

The expression and Interpretation OF
human life in art" was the subject OF a
lecture by Edward Howard Criggs at All
Souls Church last night.
Mr.. Griggs said art was not appreciated
nowadays as Il was fifty years ago.
Take the opera, for instance" he said.
On the opening night at the 'MetropoH-
tan Opera House II is the people who
stand in the galleries who are the true
lovers OF music. How Is & on the first
floor? The ladies and gentlemenlwhO oc-
cUpy the boxes are invariably a half hour
late. and attend. as a rule. because II is
a social custom. and not because OF any
desire 10 hear the singing The same
may be said of the art Of painting.
How often do We witness people star
ing at some masterpiece. never thinking
OF the great thoughts the artist wished to
convey in the scene.
An appreciative audience heard the lee
ture. The second OF the series will be
given next Wednesday night. when The
