...haven't," he said, "as much of it now as we once had, but we certainly are beginning to see more light operas than we have for many years. I doubt that the Shuberts ever have made as much money in their history as they recently did with 'Blossom Time', and operetta built around the life and music of Franz Schuberts. "The Student Prince" is still another case in point. Light opera may or may not be back to stay. It will be the public's loss if it is not, but then I walk warily in the paths...

...Manhattan. It is always afternoon in Montauk; there whisper trees more shadowy than any that ever stooped their boughs in Eden; gods live there and fairies, so says the brush of Mr. Hassam. Diana as Spring bursts arrowy-footed through the wood, paling with her whiteness the white dogwood blossom; in The Grove of Aphrodite nymphs move to pipes unseen, sentineled by poplars; Dryads dance upon a blowy hill against a far horizon.
