Throngs Attend Funeral
of Oscar Hammerstein
1MPREsARIO BURIED FROM TEN.
PIE EMANUEL, IN NEW YORK
CITY,


Oscar Hammerstein, who died Aug
list. at the age of seventy-two years
was buried from Temple Emanuel in
New York, August o.
approaching it We're crowded with the
thousands of men and women OF the
theatrical, Operatic, or other walks OF
life, who attended the services.
John Mccormick, to show the graft
tude and appreciation he felt for Mr.
Hammerstcin, sang two hymns.
Rabbi Joseph Silverman conducted
the services. He said In part
THE public career of Oscar Ham
merstein is well known. beginning
life in this country Mt the bottom of
the ladder, he finally realized that
his natural inclination was in the di-
rection OF music and the opera. He
sought to educate the public to the
best in art, and was ready to sacri-
flee his own fortunes, II necessary, to
achieve tltis purpose.
Oscar HammersteiIi has become
part of the history of this metropolis
and will be remembered for many a
day. The story Of the theatrical and
operatic life of this city-aye, of this
country-cannOt be written without an
important record of Oscar Hammer
stein.
Failure that would have driven
other men to desperation spurred him
on to new endeavors. He was not
elated by success any more than he
was discouraged by failure. Money
seemed to him only means to carry
.ut his ideals.
He was a mental dynamo and his
ideals electrified his whole being. n
master in argument, he often over
whelmed and subdued his opponents.
He rarely took advice, rather he was
adviser to his advisers. He not only
intimidated but he terrified those who
opposed him. Quick Is q flash, effer-
vescent with humor and wit. he. had
dual personality-a personality un-
conQuerabie He never catered to self
appointed superiority. When he had
plenty he gave literally and when he
l,nd little lie shared with those who
lad less than he.
Friends and foes will honor his
memory. Oscar Hammerstein was so
generous. personality all his own.
that it was difficult for some to un-
derstand and to interpret him.
AS builder and inipresario he
was governed by two impulses-am-
.bition for success and ideals In music
and art. He sought to educate the
public TO an appreciation of the best
In nrt. rather than to make fortune
out of them. But naturally, he could
not always succeed. May his memory
he nm emulation for the ideal in art
that rises supreme over the dross of
iuaterialism."
The funeral procession was headed
by DIR. Silverman. The following were
honorary pall-bearers: Abraham Err
