Weatherly, K.C., who was entertained by concert artists in London, recently, is over eighty, and has -written the words of more popular songs and ballads than, probably, any man of any age. He has also achieved the very difficult feat of writing English versions of operatic libretti that are both English and suitable in singing, for one of the chief obstacles in tho way of opera in the vernacular is the hideous and meaningless doggerel that is usually provided by way of translation. Mr Weatherly’s “ Pagliacei ” has real literary merit. He was at Brasenose in the ’sixties, knew Walter Pater, arid cosed his college eight at Henley in ’6B, for he is of diminutive statute. He took silk at seventy-six—-and lost his first case as a K.C.
