Show CATCIIY UTJSIC THE THING. ' ' "A catchy melody." says a promoter of musical shows, , "will do more to make a musical piece go than all the Incidental business and show girls in creation." To give a new turn to an old saying, the tune's the thing. The words of hardly any of the popular songs are worth memorizing. In most cases they are either stupid or vulgar. It is the same with the old-fashioned Italian opera; the libretto is wretched, but the melodies, like beauty Itself, are a Joy forever. Boston Transcript. |
