This was on November 4. On November 5 an indignant denial came from Miss Farrar. She "never said no such thing," and then she proceeded to speak fluently about "Wall street. fluctuations" and to regret that Mr. Rockefeller does not go about establishing opera houses. TH Editorials. HE New York Times published, on November 4, a blood-curdling dispatch, "Special cable to the New York Times," in which Miss Geraldine Farrar was represented as saying that there is no art in the United States-only money; that Americans are deficient in artistic appreciation and are utterly lacking in musical understanding; that art is an impossibility in a land of political corruption, and that until our government is modelled after the German system, this country will not be a land of culture: that is to say, TOW THIS first statement, cabled specially NOVE to the New York Times, November 3-4, was published in the Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger of October 27. We have read the long article as it then appeared. Miss Farrar said. many other things. Her denunciation of the land of her birth naturally incited some discussion in America when it was "cabled" to New York. We hear there was resentment in Boston, and that there was talk of calling an indignation meeting in Melrose with addresses from "Jerry's" Sunday School teacher and a rising young lawyer. Neither the original statement, the "cabled" dispatch, nor the anticipated denial is worth a waste of human wind or of writing fluid. Yet see how seriously these singing-women are taken by many! |
