Of a fashionable Partisan restaurant we're
canvassed recently as TO whether they OBJ
jected to hearing German music played
there, especially Wagner's compositions. BY
an overwhelming majority the guests voted
for playing such music. Many pointed out
that it is Frances privilege. as the victor
and in compensation for other losses, to take
the liberty Of claiming" any music COM
posed or played by Germans.
But some strongly objected to German
music, and in one place there was fight
between member Of the cafe orchestra
and a diner.
Recently attempts by French military
band TO play German compositions in the
Tuileres Gardens were drowned by the
angry shouts. The authorities had to assure
the people that such music would never be
played again.
