When do we cross ths border? Soma of
US have not yet gotten beyond that boun
dary) that Is sure, snd It la equally certain
that most people have hopelessly left he
hlnd that realm of Illusion and dream,
' and are np longer able to populate the un
known wotld with fantastic creations uf
the untrained mind. This I" the penalty
we pay for growing up and learning knowl
edge. Effort to call us buck, even for a
moment, to that happy state of mind when
' the unreal T.-as real, when the sordid reali
ties pf life hsd no existence, and the
horlson of experlen.-e melted away and the
vistas of Joyland sketched Illimitable be
fore us, fall because we know that the
pictures are unreal. No poet ever suc
oeeded in embodying hla thought in .lan
guage, no painter haa ever yet limned hla
dream, no singer has ever sung his sung;
nil have tried, and each has reallao.1 the
finite condition that puts a barrier between
conception and achievement. It Is not pos
sible to moke us forget this even fur a
moment, try we never ao hard, and there
fore, such plsys as have thin end in view
are doomed to certainly disappoint. It is
natural for the human mind to lock
back with regret as It Is to look forward
with hope; stronger. If anything Is tliu
Impulse to retrospect, and sqrry failure
Invariably attends the effort to restore
the happiness of a djty that Is gone. "Habe.i
in Toylind" Is one of these enorta, and It
only serves to remind us that we have
crossed the border and can never return.
It Is conceived In u spirit of philanthropy,
for It would be beneficial If It were potent,
and is carried out In tho broadest way
possible, and yet It la u disappointment.
It lacks the spark that should give It life.
Grown-up children see in It only the .sliuil
ows gf vanished pleasures, and the youtiKcr
folks, whose Imagination is not yet (lulled,
fail to find therein the embodiment of their
dreams. Give us no more "Tnylands." Let
u have "Woodlands," wherein the foolery
pf grown folks Is united lo the dreams of
childhood, and the spirit Is such as does
Dot awaken a sense of "hopes that rctiedt
and regrets that remain."

Tet how willing are people to make the
effort. The Boyd theater ht never held
larger, nor. or that matter, better satisfied
audiences than those that turned out to
' watch the development of the Herbert and
' HaoDonough extravaganza. It Is all glltttr
and Jingle, spangle and sparkle It bus no
particular melody, its fun Is like the parade
of the toy soldiers, stiff and unnatural, and
Its imperfections are many and easily ap
parent. But It appeals to that last linger
ing trace of ohildlshuess that no amount uf
hardening can ever eliminate from man or
Woman. It isn't unlikely that the author
and the oompoaer had this In mind when,
they tut h piece together, for It cer
tainly seems to be calculated to that end.

,T HAS occurred to me that I have
iffl
never written a single line In this
column fur the children who study
music And I want them to have
tills week article all fur them
selves.
Hear little people, we who arc older are
looking to you for the musical future of
Uniahu, which Is lo be a great musical
center, Unwii all over the country, You
are our hope ami yuil will do great things
wet you arc ocer. Now, there are a few
things that we want tu talk about today.
First of all, want to toll you that you
are very happy children whose parents are,
allowing yini to study the great art of
music NuWi what I" art? Well, you gq
uut lu Ihp woud.s pnd. enjoy yourself to
the limit, or perhaps It Is a picnic that
yuu are interested In- You hear the blrdt
sing pnd you aee th trees and the skies
and ip Mower and the hrwka and flie
squirrels and what else besides. Now, If
you could come home and writ, beautjful
descriptions of these In regular poems, you
would be describing nature In poetry. Am)
the beauty of art is that H describes It)
musical poetry Hie realities that w fee).
Art Is the poetry and the natural feelings
are the prose.
Yuu are very fortunate, Jlttle men and
women. f your parents are giving you a
musical education, and you surely appre
ciate It and work very bard. Think of the
scores of little people Who are very anx
ious to lourn how to play the piano, or
violin, or how to sing. I have heard so
many limes from your teachers ht yon
are ti lentcd and that you ore working
earnestly und that you will be able lo do
tine things some day. Your teachers are
so fond of you. They love to teach tho
ambitious little men and women who ore
practicing and studying and who du Just
what the teacher says.
Once there was a llule boy. He wna very
fond of music and he used to have a very
hard time getting a chance to practice.
His father was very much opposed to his
pluylntr, for ho wanted him to be a great
lawyer. But the little man found a way,
brcause h loved bis music. He used, to go
up Into n attic, where be discovered 4
very old-fashioned piano one day, nnd when
the opportunity chiiic ho would steal away
Jp to the old attic and sit down pnd play
and work to his heart's content upon this
wonderful old piano. Now, my deur chil
dren, ho did not have a nice comfortublo
room to practice In, ho did not have n fine
piano like you, he dd not have a father who
would pat hint on the iead and say, "That
Is good, my boy." But stl he played and
be loved to play. His love was so great
that he sot up und played on this old Int
alrument at nljrht ttfter the others iad
L'l.no '.o bed.
rie used lo ask the piano whet It meant,
and one day he said to It, "Why don't you
tel mo what there Is In you thst makes
me love you?" and the old piano never
answered, so he kept on playing upon It,
and every time he played he asked the
question over und over again. He talked
to it and It answered only In music, but
It put so much music In Its answers that
the boy went or. tisking so that he could
find out new muslcul snswers from the
fiuno.
And one night he asked so loud (hat t
woke up the family, and they ram. up to
see what all tho row was about, and poor
little George wus sent to bed after a right
good acoldlng. However, some time ufler
that, his f airier was going to see u great
prince, greater even than King Ak-gar-Ben,
and little Gaorge cried and wanted to go
with bis father, and he cried so hard and
ran oiler the carriage so long that finally
hW papu relented and let him go with him.
And ths prince took a great Interest lu
the boy und he Induced the boy's father
to lot him study, and he did, and he became
one of the very greatest men In the world;
and today when any musician In Omuliti
wants to put something greot on a program
hu looks up the wurHs of that little boy
who bus been dead, oh, so long, nearly JSC
