HammersteIn Puzzled
Oscar Hammerstein, standing out
side the Metropolitan and yet repre-
senting some OF the most forward
movements in the United States for
the advancement OF opera, makes
some Illuminating comments. He ex-
pressed the greatest surprise at Mr..
billiards bequest, to Musical
America representative. saying:
1T is not quite possible to get at
exactly what Mr.. JuiIIiard was aiming
for. With regard to the MetropoIi-
tan, the thing is even more incompre-
hensible. The Metropolitan Opera
Company does not need Mr.. billiards
money. They are as firmly estab
lished as any financial institution in
the country"
And then he voices the "Cry OF the
People" IF Mr.. Juilliard had def
nitely left the money as an endow-
ment for a Peoples Opera, it seems
to me that the result would have
been far more bepehcial. There is a
crying need for such an institution,
but il is not possible without civic
