Success in Music"
Is More Than Treatise.

Success In Music, And How n Is
won" isn't a treatise on music at all
The title should have been in the past
tense. For Henry T. Finck does at
tempt to tell how some famous singers,
uianists and violinists have won sue
cess. He does more than that. Some Of
the chapters are excellent appropriations
Of the men they tell about, men and
women, too. For the author has given
a prominent place 10 famed vocalists
from the Swedish Jenny Lind and Chris
tine Nilsson 10 the Italian Catalani,
Adellna Patti and Tetrazzini
Another chapter is devoted TO the
Spanish sisters" Pauline Viardot Car
cia and the equally famous Maria Male
bran. A second chapter is devoted to
German and Austrian singers.
Put one Cf the best features Of the
book is that IT is strictly up to the min
ute. Melba, Garden, Calve, and even
NordiCa, Eamcs. and Farrar, are talked
about I'm the same chatty, and at the

sane and a haze of hypnotic in
fluence under which she believed

Mrs. Schoenberg is the daugh-

turned to her home under the pro-
lection Of men from the Pinkerton
office.
Miss Levy and Schoenberg were
married In New York last January
after a courtship which is said to
have lasted eleven years, ever
since the bride was a mere girl.
According to Mrs. Levy it now
appears that SchoenIberg's STU
pendous greed was the actuating
motive of this lengthy campaign.
Mrs. Levy said today that Schoen-

come with his bride, and was not
