Here Is the judgment of Otto H.
Kuhn, who has been called the most. ..
brilliant of the younger Amerrcap Qiln- ...
anclers, on the subject of American
love of art. He says, as quoted by the
New York Times:
“The opera ‘tPelloas and Molllande,
certainly a deeply serious’ work and]
not containing the Ingredients of popv
ular appeal, scoured instant recogni-
tion in this country. it doubtless was
‘abve tohc heads' or a good many of
the audience. yet they appreciated in:
tultively that here was somethlll ‘
deep and noble and beautiful. and
they felt its spell. The simple charm
and poetry of" Hamperdinck's' ‘Hansel
and Gretel‘ and ‘Koaigsklnder‘ have.
nowhere met with a more sincere and
cordial response than on the part at
American audiences. And Qon thi
dramatic stage take Everyman-se-
rlous and solemn and lofty, and an
immense success in New York. I
could multiply instances. The pub?
