MEN OF GENIUS DRANK HARD
Recently Compiled List Shows That
Many Were Addicted to Use Of
Intoxicating Liquor.

James Huneker. a New York mu-
slcal critic, has delved behind the
scenes and come out with the infor-
nation that some of the worlds
greatest geniuses quatfed the flowing
bowl. He heads his findings, "Art
and Alcohol" and lists writer's,
painters. philosophers and musicians
among the vets of the world.
Nerlaine was comforted by ab-
slnthe, after suffering from delirium
tremens, while writing "The Dream
of Virgin" Handel. Gluck, Mo-
zart, Beethoven and Bizet are among
musicians placed at the head of the
liquor drinkers, while Bach is
classed as beer drinker. He once
shocked a church committee by send
ing for some during divine services.
Weber drank heavily until failing
health stopped him. Schumann
loved Rhine wine, and plenty of it.
Rossini did not like wine less be-
cause he loved food more.
Mr.. Huneker describes the late
Max Roger as "human house" be-
cause of his beer drinking. Debussy
took drugs and almost ate cigarettes.
l.iszt drank cognac in half-pint
quantities at draught. Wieniawski
was a heavy drinker, while Reinse-
nauer is called the champion boozer
Of pianists. Arthur Friedman once
liked both red and white wines,
while Anton Seidl divided his love
between whisky and champagne.
