Dear American Friends:
During my presence in America |
have given you the opportunity of APP
preciating our great popular men OF
genius, the fathers and founders Of
the beautiful French language from
the time of the Middle Ages until the
seventeenth century.
Under the happy guise OF "Theatr'-
cal Entertainments" you have already
become acquainted with some very rare
treasures which have been resuscitated
from the dust of oblivion by grave and
learned men who have passed their
lives in searching through our precious
manuscripts. II has caused me real
delight TO note that New York has
understood the beauty and nobility,
the curious and diverting charm Of the
French soul from the Middle Ages to
the time Of Moliere, and | am proud
of you, my friends Of America, who
have certainly loved France the better
for having participated in the admira-
tion for her ancestors.
The very distinct vision" Of the
personages ! have incarnated in my
diverse songs, and of the reconsti-
tutcd costumes which have rendered
that image more positive, have re-
vealed to you the entire France of St.
Louis and of Joan of Arc in its pa
/ triotic, its literary and joyous aspects.
France is but one joyous song! Her
heart is bat one ode! Her soul but
one hymnl Her laugh is but flower!
Her poetry, a kiss! Her wealth is
her courage. her strength is her 10y
atty Love France. love her songs and
love US, the people of France!
am her modern Troubadour! will
sing of her heroic epopees, of her love
Of God, her knights, her crusades, the
ancestral legends of our beloved cot.
tage hearths. the refrains Of our good
sold Normans. the roundelsys, the
dances, the NauX de Wire, the pagan
songs of our ancient Bretons at the
time of the DruEs, the comic mo
tets" of the thirteenth century. France
has a great and magnificent garden of
song which no war in the world will
ever Destroy
| have brought you some of her
choicest, her most reputed flowers in
the full conviction that you, the peo-
pie of America, will realize the i'm
portance of this offering and the in
spiration and stimulus TO the art and
beauty of your own country that may
terminate from this my bouquet from
France!

Concerts and the
New Revenue Law
What the 10 Per Cent Tax Will Mean to the Debu-
tante Artst-The Managers Views
and Comments

believe that it will affect their artists
to any marked degree.
"All my artists said Mr.. Charlton,
"have a following which always buys
its tickets. OF course. We do little
'papering,' but only among musicians
who would undoubtedly be willing to
pay the small amount demanded by the
tax law"
Fitz Hugh Haenscl, of Haensel &
Jones, said frankly that the new law
meant empty benches at debutante
concerts, unless these concerts were
entirely invitation affairs or were
given for charity.
"The sums taken in at debutante con-
certs average between five and fifty
dollars" saM Mr.. Haensel. "Now, if
the concerts are made benefits this
sum will go to charity, and no tax will
have to be paid for free seats. Other
wise, unless the concert is entirely an
invitation affair, the benches will be
empty. believe, however, that some
concerted action should be taken by
the managers
It was stated at the John W. Froth-
inCham agency that Mr.. rockingham
intended 10 get exemption from the
law on the ground that his artists were
mostly dcbutantcs.
In short, the concert business is at
present in as fine a mix-up as the
music world has ever known. Instead
Of helping the young American artist
the war bids fair to stife all his eff
forts for some time to come.

Waiting.

When the world was young they used
to say;
every thing comes to him who waits
But this will not do in our day, -
For we travel different gaits.
Flo if you sit possive, awaiting,
For your fortune to knock at your
door,
1t does not take philosopher
To know your predestined to die poor.
For this is an age of the active,
A cyclone instead of a wind,
And for everythingithat worth having
You must fight till your knuckles are
skinned.
1t takes energy applied with a vim
To summount the present day riffs,
For there's but little worth having
that floats
And its only wrechage that drifts.
There is nothing gained by just wait
ing,
The apple Is knocked with pole,
So enter the fight and keep fighting
If ever you'd reach the lost goal.
