NE of the most misused ideas in nomenclature referring
is that of talent. william Haztt, the eminent
English critic and author defines it "he capacity OF

definition is that talent is particular mode of intellect which

accepted of fundamental truths

ana eager TO seek every means 1or
wider culture.
For many years it has been an
accepted idea that Americans could
become anything they wished, for
sheer persistence in other walks of
life has been the cause of the rise of
many celebrated men and women. In
music, the musician remains still, for
the most part, an entertainer, and
the necessity of a serious approach to
the sublime art is not generally ap-
parent.
However, Mr.. Hazlitt's statement
that "the capacity of doing anything
dustry' is voluntary power" places
talent within the reach of all. 1t
is less the supreme gift than the
ability to develop. in the proper man
ner, whatever ability one possesses.
So, in taking into consideration the
talents Of a musician. his seriousness,
diligence and intellectually are the
solid rocks on which to build future
career, rather than the sands of
great versatility that scorns the idea
Of constant and unceasing work.

THE announcement that Mrs Town.
sends Wednesday morning tnusi-
Gales at the Mayflower are scheduled
to run through the Christmas holi-
days, rather than before and after
them, as in previous years, will in
crease the pleasure Of many. For
one thing, the social duties sometimes
interfere with the possibility of at
tending these interesting musicales,
yet they are welcome addition to
the social season just at that period
of the year At the same time, many
young people. home from school and
college, will be able to have perhaps
their only opportunity of hearing the
celebrated artists which Mrs. Town
send has always made a point of Sc
curing. Mrs. Townsend has chosen
the holiday dates in response to many
requests that some of her artists be
presented at this time.
In letter recently received by
this department. Mrs. Townsend
writes enthusiastically Of the enor-
nous success Of the great French
singer, Ninon Vallin, in the leading
role Of Respighi's "Tryptique." Marie
/ Egyptienne at the Opera Comique
in Paris. Three years ago, it was
given at Carnegie Hall, but in a man.
ner to mitigate against its success, the
gorgeous setting of the Paris perform
ance left nothing to be desired. Mrs.
Townsend writes: "Vallin surpassed
vocally and in artistry anything she
has ever done before. Friends of
mine who were there the night Arturo
ToScanini attended as guest of
Respighi, saw him actually weeping.
The whole opera house was just wild
at the end of the performance"
Vallin will be presented by Mrs.
Townsend this year with Rene lie Roy,
French flutiSt, in a program of old
Inca melodies of South America. The
flute is a favoTite instrument Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. LIE Roy has
spent many hours playing for the
Chief Executive. Another artist to
stir the European musical world this
Summer was Lotte Lehman, who
sang ''Fidelio" and the roles of Sieg-
linde and Eva in the Wagnerian operas
in London with tremendous success.
Nine. Lehman is also on the list Of
artists soon to be announced by Mrs.
Townsend
