Some musical "citicism" from Chicago —"Mary Garden's art is like a tongue of flame upleaping, hypnotic in its thousand tantalising, shifting values; perfect in its gorgeous flaunting beauty, and ' superb in the breath-taking way it catches those puny ineffectual souls near ■ it in its inescapable fire, and in passing leaves them vivid tinder, a reflected brilliance'. Her tone is like that, too, changing from tho thrill of ■.tortured passion to tho gentle cooing of a lullaby, even as the deep, ruddy heart of burning slips into the vague, tenuous smoko u|jLst which clings about its iridescent, qqiyering edges." * -r .
