This change fixed up Claudia Cassidy and the Chicago Tribune fine, but left the rest of the Chicago press in bad shape musically. The Sun replaced Claudia with aging (70), venerable Felix Borowski, who has written eminently sound but eminently dull notes for the Chicago Symphony programs for years. The Chicago Daily News, on a policy of penny-wisdom, has been having its syrupy art critic, C. J. Bulliet, triple in brass: he writes not only music but movies and the theater.

...cabarets of the '80s and '90s echoed with tearjerkers: Cradle's Empty, Baby's Gone (Later parodied in Bottle's Empty, Father's Tight), A Little Faded Rosebud in Our Bible, The Little Lost Child, The Letter That Never Came. Thoroughly popular was Felix McGlennon's That Is Love...

He, and his contemporaries, Seidl, Mahler, Mottl, etc., grew up in Germany when Germany was cock of the musical roost and knew it. They worked under Liszt in Weimar, they learnt their Wagner opera in Bayrenth under the eye of the "Master," and in the flush post-war days they made Salzburg a summer Mecca for European big-wigs, where Mozart and Beethoven had to fight Schiaparell...
