From prelude to good night, from bouil

proved upon There never was" a more har
monious blending of music, food, drink, to
bacco smoke, color nnd sheer hnpplness
than that at tho Academy of Music last
nlghl, when Victor Herbert mndo hl't bow

causo It was so unconventional because
Victor Herbert, his mtlslo nnd his person
nllty nt so well Into the groovo of the
"pop" mind, therd was not a faco that
was not smiling when tho chairs wero
pushed under tho tables. It was a tri
umphant illustration of the combined
theories that music hath charms and that
man's stomach la on the highroad to his
soul
