Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1933-09-14

Connoisseurs who date back to the
Fra 'of Congress Caters and E. p.
Roe. These two Prints were called
Fast Asleep" and "Wide Awake" and
in turning them out the Printer used
what Colors he had the most of. The
First showed a curly-haired Tot in
deep Slumber and the Second re-
vealed the same blue-haired Infant
sitting up and laughing gaily. The
only Note Of Sadness in these famous
Specimens of Pictorial Art was occa-
stoned by the Fact that the Child had
a bright Red Spot on each Cheek, sug-
costing possible Temperature Of 102
and indicating that the Little One was
already claimed by tuberculosis.
1t was during his Undergraduate
Career that Orville began to take his
Music seriously. Not until he learned
the Possibilities of the Guitar and
could execute "SebastopOl," "The
Spanish Cavalier" and "Star of the
Evening" did he find in the Higher
Type of Compositions the Solace and
Uplift which are derived from any
good Book of Instructions.
For the first time the hidden Beau
ties of "The Bohemian Girl" were re-
vealed to him. 1t was Far Cry from
"Jaybird" to "The Battle Of Prague"
but he was destined to climb higher.
He got his first half-Nelson on what
is really Hot Stuff after he moved to
the City and married Lady who had
been taking Chautauqua Courses until
she couldn't hold any more. She was
out to Capture Culture or else wras-
tie it to Death. It was She who put
him next to Van Dyck, Rembrandt,
Bouguereau and Corot, Up to the time
he met Minnie he had always supposed
that Velasquez was the Name of a
Cigar.
Col. Boqie Of the Art Course.
About the time she first put the
Halter on him and led him to the Art
Institute, he might have been seen in
Parquette Seat on a Friday after
noon, with Funny Look on his Face,
trying to keep up with Symphony in
Q Minor. During this Quick-change
Period, while he was in breathless
Pursuit Of Italian Opera and the mod
ern Dutch School, he got to be an aw-
full Liar. Whenever he was asked If
he liked Something he would always
answer YES"
Minnie started in to get all Of the
Paisley and Atwater out Of Orve's
System. It was hard Tussle to con-
vince the poor Gourd-Head that Tunes
are vulgar while Fugues are some
thing to be enjoyed rather than en-
dured.
To this Day, Orville will begin buy
ing Tickets for the Vanities as soon
as Minnie leaves Town. but while she
is in the Watch Tower he is letting
on to be worried because there are
so few Performances of die Wal
kure" during the Grand Opera Season.
A lot of well-to-do People have nearly
starved to Death in recent Years be-
cause they couldn't get their Wagner.
!, orve can now pronounce the Names
VI nOSI Vi the EleCcS pidycu NY the
Philharmonic Lads who wear Specs
and to prove that he is True Lover
he buys Tickets for Everything Lit
tie do those who hear him touting
"Gotterdamerung" suspect that at one
time he put Resin on his Thumb so
that he could pick the Gstring for
Hours at Time.
He has gone so far in Art that
sometimes he finds it difficult to keep
UP with Himself. Every kind Of
Landscape is Trash and Pre-Raphaelit-
ism is something that he had and got
well of. But he can now interpret a
Cubist Puzzle even when the Darn
Thing is held upside down. And that,
we take 1t, is about two strokes bet
ter than Par.
MORAL: Unless Heaven has been
done over lately, both the Choir and
the Golden Ornaments are going to be
criticized.
