gives. a little edge to my nerves.
am not easy to anger, ex-
cept for just cause. And, al
though musicians are supposed
to be temperamental, I am not
temperamental in the popularity
accepted sense of the word.
Personally. I have no patience
with the self lf-indulgence which
sometimes passes for tempera.
ment.
Indispensable Actors
There are many actors and
musicians who seem to take a
certain pride in showing a thor
ough lack of responsibility.
They are late for rehearsals
and entirely undependable in
business affairs. During my
early orchestra work in New
York I knew many musicians
of this type. At that time l
worked with orchestras which
were hired for special occa-
Sions, and we we're supposed to
be at a certain place at a GER
tain time. I was never late for
one Of these engagements. The
orchestra musician and the or
cheStra leader are hired men.
and they owe a responsibility
to their employer.
I am not temperamental in
this fashion, but / am sensitive
to surroundings, to people. and
to my work. Fay has the same
sensitivity, but between our two
temperaments there is no clash.
I do not mean. of course,
that we are always in absolute
agreement on every petty point.
But we do agree on all the
major considerations Of life
That is sufficient. .
I believe that if two people
never differ, they must have
weak characters.
''Yes-Girls" Are Out
I do not care for "yeS-girlS"
