TALKS TO MUSIC LOVERS FTVUE coming music season in Phlla- dolpUla opens with every indication that it will lie the most brilliant as well as tho most numerous in perform ances of any tlint the city hnN ever experienced. There is alto a most en couraging outlook from the box-ofllco point of view, Which augurs well for the success of the present ns well as of future seasons. And after nil, the box-office point of view is nn exceed ingly important one, in spite of the hypocrisy, ns common among musicians n among others who accent or drag, as the case may be, their llviug from the prdctico of Wie fine arts to the effect that art and money have nothing in common. This Ml eoundsu very well, but it doesn't work out, especially in this day nnd generation. No one will deny that the nrtlst,, whatever may be his me dium, who practices his art solely for the money he can make out of it, is. not going to -achieve very much in the ar tistic senso ; but at the same time money' In-reasonable quantity is abso lutely ncccssnry to tho arts, especially that of music. And iu the case of music in tho largest interpretative forms such ns a great orem-suu opera, it is necessary in quite unrea sonable amounts. Thia'is required not only because of the verv large salaries paid to the principals (true of lending opera com panies but not of tho orchestras), but because the organizations muBt control practically the entire time of men and women of talent nnd of highly special ized education. The relation qf tho box office to ar tistic endeavor, as well ns to the educa tion o( the people along what nre be coming, to be considered essential lines, enn bcht be shown by the nrtlstic fnte of those cities which do not encourage In n Substantial financial manner the best artists nnd organizations. Insldp of n couple of hoohous poor from the financial point of view their "sensons vanish from viow. BUT to return to the coming Benson In riillndelphin.

Tho success of Slgnor Snlmnggi's venture in Philadelphia will rest upon one matcrlnl consideration : whether our people havo as yet reached tho point of musical cul ture to go to hear the work Instead of tho singer.
