it is that no "successor"

Caruso was an unique figure in the
art world of his time. His gift of
song was only one of the powers that
made him a great figure in that world.
He was a personality, a something-
apart; not merely the world's great-
est tenor, but an individuality, the
"successor" to which does not exist.
The tenor who falls heir to the
Caruso roles, or even to the Caruso
pay envelope, will not thereupon be-
come his "successor," as. certain ad-
mirers of certain tenors would seem
to believe. If some other painter were
given a piece of washed-out canvas on
which Ctzanne had painted, could any-
one be so naive as to proclaim him
Ctzanne's successor? Operatic roles
are mere washed-out canvases on
which each new artist who paints must
weave his own patterns and ply his
own colors. And the results achieved
by any two can never be identical.
Victor Hugo wrote somewhere that
"those men of genius who cannot be
surpassedl may be equalled. How? By'
being different." The words are nicely
apropos in the present discussion. I
must add though that when "being
different" comes in through the win-
dow, "snccessorship"-with the impli-
cations it carries here-soars out
through the chimney.
"Maria Jeritza, the successor to Ger-
aldine Farrar," is another phrase
which in all its pointless stupidity is
having its day in the Sunday roto-
gravure sections and on the public's
lips. Mention Maria Jeritza to any
pseudo-musician and wait for the in
evitable reply: "Let me see; she is
