Something Respectable.

"Yet in this riot of sound and move
ment there is always something re-
spectacle. It has the Latin exuber-
ance of high spirits rather than the
Saxon rowdiness of the flesh.
"The hospitality towards English
visitors is prodigal. Whereas in for
mer times there was a tendency to
deprecate the English people, their
manners, their customs, and their
want of humor, one is struck today
by the sympathetic courtesy and the
better understanding with which our
selves and our work are regarded.

ALandof Many Babies But
Few Children Is The Wau
English Actor Sees u. S.

LONDON, Oct. 2O.-Sir Herbert
Tree, the famous English actor, writes
in London newspaper his impress
ions of America on his recent trip. He
admires American gaiety especially
Sir Herbert says:
The fact, or shall I say, the sur
face, of America has entirely chang
et since / first made it's acquaintance
twenty years ago. New York largely
dominates the current of the nations
life, colors the atmosphere, and die
tates its gashions.
THE two striking impressions one
receives on arriving in New York City
are its architecture and its luxury
Geographical necessity was the mother
of the sky-scraper BY day these
giant towers convey an impression OF
garish splendor; at night they are
spectrally imposing.
AS there is no twilight in the city,
SO are there no half-tones in the life
Of the people. The dusk of Broadway
is chased by the blazing electric signs
which dazzle the stranger as trans
formation scene of some advertising
fairyland. But it has beauty of its
own.
THE gaiety of New York at night is
most striking. Dancing proceeds in
all the restaurants and hotels. But the
gaiety is normal and Indigenous; it
means to be the natural outcome of
the restless energy of the climate and
the people.
Let no one assert that there is no
national American music. This new
art of sound is, to the newcomer
more nerve-shattering and bewilder-
ing than that of Strauss or of the mu-
sic-futurists After the first shock the
orchestral monstrosities of rag-time
become haunting in their fascination
1t is as though you were drawn into
the depths Of chaos by maelstrom OF
sound.
