Thus with Verne and other aids people are beginning to have a contempt for the stories of mysterious denizens of the deep. Sea-serpents will be found crouching among the water lilies of every garden pool, and the next problem in upholstering will be how to transform the octopus into the parlor couch...

His reading of the symphony was especially capable and muscianly, his interpretation of the third movement (allegro molto vivace) a triumph although it seems to us that he missed much of the flowing grace of the Allegro congrazia. The rather bombastic finale seems an anticlimax to the truly masterful...
