But sven that seems In keeping with

fight for the Ideal In music that he

was his fight against the evanescent in
music that made the work so hard And
so it is right that If he could not be

fMacDowellS history Is one of the
'most trarlo In all musical story From

their attainment and worked In behalf

When he wss appointed to the chair .of

rejoiced with them, for it seemed to be
the recognition of his principles and
his high standards, an PP1"0" '
his efforts and aa offer of assistance
In his mission. ...
But it proved to be his downfall.
Many, perhaps eight out of ten, would
have yielded their Ideals: would have
chosen the easiest path of gaining fame,
pleasing the authoritlea and the public
, it the expense of their Ufa hope. Mao
I fiowell fought against It and fell in ths
fight. When he was conquered by a
nervous collapse, ths result of continu
ous work and worry and maybe of grief
and disappointment, the world and most
U the country suffered a real loss.
For ths past few years he has been in
a living death; his mind was gone and

Arthur Weld, the director of music
In the performance of "A Walts Dream,"
is very enthusiastic over the score of
this operetta. He says of it: "We all
remember the patriot who so truly said,
'Let who will make the nation's lsws. If
I may make its songs,' and nothing Is
stronger than the enormous vitality and
governing force of the true 'yolk song'
in any country. But If this be true of
any and every country, it Is nowhere
truer than in Austria, and just as 'Paris,
is France,' so Is Vienna Indeed Austrian
Itself. And no volk song is nearer to
the hearts of the people than Is the true
waltos to the Viennese, Indeed it Is a
universal volk song. We, for example,
inspire patriotism with The Star
Spangled Banner; we invoke tender re
membrance of the lost cause' with My
Old Kentucky Home'; we find pathos in
'Dolly Gray, the sentiment of love In
'Genevieve,5 and so on. In other words,
we use many different songs of the
people for many different emotions, but
the true Veinnese Inspires all of these
with ths ever varying phrases of the
waltz; that is. the waltz played in the
ever varying Viennese manner.
