BRADY SCORES ALIEN
PREFERENCE IN ART
Declares Americans Have No

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, February 22.-In all
branches of art and literature, for
eigners are given preference over ma
tive American talent, William A.
Brady, theatrical producer, declares.
He made the charge in an interview
last night after a public address, in
which he said that the Metropolitan
Opera House was entirely alien in
personnel, methods and organization,
and that Americans had no chance
there. Officials Of the opera denied
this.
Il don't care whether it's art,
poetry, music. literature or the thea :
ter" Mr.. Brady said. The cry is
Down with the native American; up
with the foreigner" He criticized
as "the latest example of this craze
for imported goods" a proposal to
build a theater for Max Reinhardt,
the German playwright producer.
why don't they build a theater
for Jane CoWl or Bobby Jones, or
any one who is American and has
fought his way up in this country"
he asked. 1T seems to be craze to
despise anything that is home
grown"
opera officials said that 40 per
cent of the singers at the Metropoli-
tan were Americans; that the orches-
ira and chorus were almost entirely
recruited in this country and that the
administrative staff was completely
American.

tinue it's efforts to obtain a complete
International understanding in re-
gard to the limitations which must

II may add, however" the letter con-
tinued, that for nearly twenty years
the United States has occupied a promi-
nent position in urging international
action in this regard and in carrying
ou the international obligations it has
assumed for the control of the traffic,
and 1 trust that Congress will authorize
an appropriation that will permit the
government to continue in the future as
it has in the past"
