You can sum up my four years exper-

benefit to the public, but the work was
too hard for me. What with the in
satiable demands and exactions of artists

opera interests to the Metropolitan.
The men at the Metropolitan helm

exactions of artists. aided and abetted
by the competitive conditions. Notwitn-

deficits.
