The Handicap of Wealth

MONEY is the concrete reward of musi-
cal popularity, but it does not make for
success until it has been earned. This has
been proved by the career of young Albert
Spalding. Born with golden spoon at
his lips, studying the violin in veritable
palace in Florence, Italy, it has taken
years of public appearances to live down
the charge that he bought his audiences,
his engagements, even the favorable criti-
cism of his work in the public press. But
this very gifted American violinist, who
works ten hours or more day, sleeps and
eats in all sorts of hotels, crosses and
re-crosses the continent, when he might
live in idleness and luxury, has won his
position as true artist in spite of his
handicap, wealth.
America not only receives foreign mu-
sicians with open arms and supports the
art royalty, but it is coming to believe
that in spending 500, 600, 900 year for
its musical pleasure and improvement it
is old enough and strong enough to indorse
native ability.
