Although the love for music is in

The only way art is distributed

he continued. Il would like to see
music distributed in the flesh. the
actual enjoyment of music as it
should be and you would like it.
With smile, he explained his
point further in this manner: ~
"As an author I like books to be
distributed. If I should be able to
sell $4,000 copies of a book I would
be doubly Inundated. I would be
told that I was a best seller and
then reflect that maybe $4,000, or,
if they loaned the copies around,
maybe 100000 people out of l30,-
900 900 might know something about
me-200000 in my own country.
That isn't distribution; not at all.
Happier With More Readers.
"You will see that because my
books sell so few copies, you have to
pay $3.50 for them. though perhaps
you know they don't cost Is cents
to put together, cover and all, and
that is because they just don't get
around. You see. if they sold by
the million-I might make no more
money, but I would be a happier
author. I would have readers"
DR.. Erskine said no opera COM
pany nor any symphony orchestra
in this country ever had a really
successful season because there are
so many people who weren't able
to hear them" If music were dis
tributed to all. so that every one,
no matter how limited his pocket
book. could get at his share, music
would pay its own way.
He said it isn't enough to dis
tribute records among those who
don't have them-"we must dis
tribute. those of us who love the
arts. all the good things of the
spirit throughout the country. or to
talk about our ideals or our civiliza-
ton is Self-delusion.
DR.. Erskine concluded with the
remark that he hoped the day would
come that you can go to a concert
for the same price that will let you
into an ordinary moving picture
house-and when that day comes,
have perfect confidence as to which
house will be better filled"
Nine. Olga Samaroff Stokowskt,
