O'Banyoun's
Observations


Aritsocracy, along social, ar
tistic, commercial, political, re-
ligious, all lines, is definitely on
the way out, History will bear
witness to this statement; and
current periodicals are filled
with testimony to the discon-
tent of the masses, the
dawning of Eternal Truth, and
the slow, but sure widening of
the domains of Democracy. Ar
istocracy is superficial man
made; and definitely finite. BE
fruitful, and multiply, and re-
plenish the earth and subdue
it" means to me, the adding of
souls into the Creators pro-
gram which is creation. Mans
program is, always has been,
destruction. I am not attack
ing the aristocracy of art; but
I am lamenting it. Concert
goerS of today are largely per-
sons who attend because it is
the thing to do" The majority
of the audience knows little Of
what it is all about, and have
to read the professional criti-
cisms of performers before they
dare venture criticisms of their
own. Many artists themselves,
pretend to know what it is all
about when obviously they do
not. That is aristocracy, super
ficiality. pretense, and keeps
the aristocrat on his toes, try
ing to maintain position which
is false and falling. Come down
to earth, be democratic, give
the public what they can I'M
derstand, stop charging exorb-
liant prices for mediocre, or
worse, performances, and see If
you will not enjoy life more,
and make others happy, too.
