he believes that operettas should be written in
English because he has written successful ones.
What De Koven has done is nothing unique,
he declares, for a land which is so promising
musically as this country. All that is necessary
is to make the demand and the supply will follow.
And" that demand is. here, he told a Boston re-

Verdi conceived most of his melodies while he
was taking a walk, either in the city or in the
country. On such occasions he was usually bare-
headed, with this hands at his back. In this
attitude the sculptor, Enrico Butti, has chiseled
the great composer in the monument (eleven
meters in height) which is to be placed in Milan
next year. Other cities, among them Rome,
Parma, and his birthplace, Busseto, will celebrate
the centenary of his birth by erecting statues.
