WALLACE IRWIN.
The wise man and the man of talent set their
standards high, and even though the climb to-
ward them may be difficult, the bracing atmo-
sphere of the uplands serves as a vitalizing men-
tal tonic and an inspiration, which he who is
content to dwell in the lowlands never experi-
ences. Wallace Irwin, whether absorbed in his
literary or newspaper work, whether listening to
the voice of his poetic muse, or as a student
delving into deep and intricate subjects, does con-
scientiously his best, and works toward his ideal,
for his artistic temperament will permit nothing
less. So in writing "The Yankee Tourist," he has
displayed his versatility and humorous side, his
lyrics being essentially fitting for the master hand
of Alfred G. Robyn, who has so delightfully
framed the songs with music. "The Yankee
Tourist," aside from the title, which is of special
interest to people all over our country, has every-
thing combined to delight and please the eye, the
ear, and the senses generally, the whole work
being tuneful, catchy and convincing, while the
book, which is written by Richard Harding Davis,
adds it quota, making a most complete and har-
monious whole.

In "The Yankee Tourist" the public is to be
congratulated that Mr. Irwin has come into his
own in entering the field as a librettist, and if
this is a sample of the work that he shall con-
tinue to give, it is safe to say that the demand
for his lyrics will be even more numerous, and
that to this line of work he will be obliged to
give preference, no matter how great the call
may be in other directions. Press and amuse-
ment lovers alike are unanimous in giving high
credit to "The Yankee Tourist" as a fun-making,
laughter-producing opera, and the authors and the
composer have reason to be well pleased with the
reception accorded their work on its successful
opening in Chicago recently. It is not a little
flattering to Mr. Irwin that his first efforts in this
new field should meet with such approval, al-
though he is a recognized genius as a verse
writer, and has a number of books bearing his
name. Mr. Irwin, who is on the staff of Collier's
Weekly, and is an editorial writer, has been re-
ferred to by the press as "the man who makes
more money as a verse writer than any one else
in the United States." Mr. Irwin has published
a number of books, among them "Love Sonnets
of a Hoodlum," and "At the Sign of the Dollar,"
a kind of political travesty, etc. In "The Yankee
Tourist" Mr. Irwin has as his publishers M. Wit-
mark & Sons.
