is an excellent place to stay away
from.
"lf Americans think they will ever

We understand from Nine. Frances
Aida that "Jamais de la vie" is the
most prominent phrase in the vocabu-
larry of the modern Partisan. Before
the war and in our salad days Paris
was a fine place. Over on the Rive
Gauche two furnished rooms could be
had for G5 francs month-$13. One
OF these might have been little dark,
but the other opened on miniature
garden, with green tables and chairs
and real pebble walk. In those days
one ate at the Cafe Montparnasse, on
the Boulevard, where Claire, the per-
soniticntion of good natured efficiency,
distributed Chateaubrands, artichokes.

equal impartiality and the agility born
of long experience, and where the
check did not provide chilly anti
climax.
Among other pleasing characteristics
OF the city were these: Five francs
would buy a whole pushcart full of
crimson, per1umed roses; 20 francs
(S5) would make fiacre drawn by a
nag whose endurance was remarkable.
considering the prominence of his
bones, yours for a day; long gloves
were 5 francs a pair, and S1OO ju-
dlcIously distributed would buy a
trunkful Of "robes est confections."
But this has ali changed A few
weeks ago we were shocked to hear
that butter in Paris now sells for 20
francs pound. Nine Aida provided
the GROWING atrocity by saying that q
chicken costs $l2. Long ~loves are now

knowing forty operas. would rarely be
willing to I'LL the subordinate place
with subordinate salary allotted to
Signor Bodini, for American artists
do not relish being moro cogs in the
machine. In music, as in other things.
we Americans consider the world our
oyster, from which we will extract the
pearl, and we don't like to 70 along
from year to year with no hope Of
reward save The consciousness of work
we'll done. In short, to the Metropolitan
Opera Company Signor Bodini was
important, though the general public
might never have known of his ex-
istence had he not been held up at
Ellis Island under the contract labor
law.
The whole question seems to hinge
on the definition Of tho word "artist." !"
If Signor Bodini is an artist, he is
apparently entitled to admission to
the country; if he is no artist he must
be deported. We will dismiss the
discussion about firsr class, or second
class, or third class artists. Such a
discussion could have originated only
among men who had no idea of what
an artist is. A man is, of course, either
an artist or he is not. An artist may be
genius or merely q man of talent; he
may possess great creative intellect,
or he may be only an interpreter; and
man may be genius without being
an artist at all.
Now artistry-it is an ugly word, but
we know of none bettcr--does not con-
sist in the amount of work done, it
does not even consist in works i'm

The history of human stupidity Is
as old as the race and its manifesta-
tions as multitudinous. It is the one
touch Of nature which makes the whole
world kin. Stupidity is no respecter
of persons; it is democratic, yet it
fiourishes amid the dwellings of the
great; it is equally the property Of
a George III and Of the philosophers
of the social revolution. 1t is forever
changing, yet forever new. Bureau
cracy has of course ever been the rich
est feeding grounds, and here it has
executed its most prepostcrous para
doxes. For the perfect bureaucrat
nothing has ever been too ridiculous;
hand this Official single letter of the
law and straightway he hugs it to his
bosom as the supreme god of his
idolatry. And so last week there was
no surprise when 1t was found in
egregious form in our Department Of
linn mgration.

ever, quite unique. Whose was the

electric light, bathrooms and every
modern convenience. In Paris she saw
the parade on July ID, and in London a
similar celebration for the victorious
Allied troops.
"1n Paris" she said, "the American
boys made the greatest impression,
partly perhaps because they marched
with much closer ranks than the
French and English soldiers. But an
other idea for people over here to get
rid of is that Americans are generally
popular in Paris. On the contrary, the
French think France won the war, and
the Americans only came in at the last
moment"

in THE WORLD OF MUSIC AND ART

Its quality. A man who can do q small
part perfectly Is as true an artist as
man who can do big ono equally
perfectly. When we speak Of q great
artist we arc using words loosely.
What we really mean is a great actor
or great singer, or, perhaps, a COM
bination of the two. A singer can
be as fine an artist as another, though
ne has only rough voice to be heard
and the other the voice of the ages.
Signor Bada, for instance, is as per-
feet an artist, perhaps a more perfect
one than Signor Caruso, though he Is
not great singer. Likewise, if Signor
Bodini, appearing in work Of art.
can interpret his small bit artistically.
he Is then an artist, and Signor Gatti-
Casazza, who ought to be better au-
thority on this point than any official
IN our Department of immigration, set
tied that point when he engaged the
tenor as member of tho Metropolitan
Opera Company.
The whole affair is indeed mani
festation of our national obsession.
which has been aptly dubbed by some-
one, we think it was H. T. Finck.
Jumboism. Our immigration officials
when they detained Signor Bodini. had
their eyes on the size of the parts
that were to be allotted to him and.
more potent still, the size of the salary
he was to receive. AS in either case
1T was far from that of q Caruso. thew
decided he was second class artist.
which meant of course that he was not
an artist at all. Chorusmaster Setti.
however, went to Ellis Island, and took
oath that Signor Bodini was an artist.
and after some further palaver the
singer was sed-provisionally, un-
til his case should be decided bv the
authorities higher up. We are con-
tident that Signor Bodini's release will
finally be made permanent. There is
limit to the ridiculous-even among
