is meaningless but made people who were at all aware
of Faulkner feel solid in their admiraon it en-
couraged the enthusiasts and it had much to do with
Faukners success And although nothing is
tresome than running back to Granny Europe for kind
word wish that of Benefits authority would
say that Angina Enters dances like angel it would be
meaningless and Inaccurate but it would focus attention
on an amazing American girl who for seven or eight

to attract audiences in New York. in New England and
the Middle West, and abroad She is at the point
OF being artistic success; suspect that she might
become fad, which would be unsympathetic; what
she deserves is the enthusiasm of the vast multitude of
people who know that the arts give pleasure.
