Van Vechten introduces a new volume

now at the Public Library. One's first
guilty thought is that Mr. Van Vechten
is about to assail the hardened concert
"public" in time-honored fashion, for
"lack of appreciation," "inattention,"
"no discrimination in applause," "vul
garity of taste" and other misdemean
ors so common as to be reduced to a
formula. One . braces himself with
tightly . shut, eyes for the onslaught,
but how is this? It is the artists
themselves who are arraigned for 111
manners! . He. says: "As a matter of
fact, once- an artist reaches the plat
form he is on his mettle, at his best.

day before a performance of Wagner's
'consecrational festival play,' with the
shrill explanation, 'Pork before . Par
sifal!' An amusing incident is told
of a production of 'Carmen' in which
a highly temperamental young singer
'refused' to allow Don Jose to kill her.
Round and round the stage she ran
while the perspiring tenor tried in
vain to catch her. At length, the
music of the score being concluded,
the. curtain fell on a 'Carmen' still
alive. It is related of Von Bulow that
he once - stopped his orchestra at a
public performance to remonstrate
with a woman using a fan. in the front
row of seats. 'Madame,' he said grave
ly, 'I must beg you to cease fanning
yourself in three-four time while I am
conducting in four-four time!' " Other
