POPULAR TASTE IN MUSIC.
Experience of Nahan Franko, Well Known
Opera Concertmeister, Who Now Conducts
Orchestra in a Leading Hotel—"Popular"
Music Not Wanted, Preference Being for Ex-
cerpts from Italian Operas.
Nahan Franko, the well-known musical direc-
tor, who has ample opportunities of judging the
trend of public opinion, recently declared that
our "Man on the Street's" comments regarding
the improvement in the public taste for music,
was, if anything, underestimated.
Mr. Franko, who has been a concertmeister at
the Metropolitan and other opera houses for
twenty-five years, is now playing at the Plaza
Hotel, where the throng represents a general
class, and by the requests Mr. Franko thinks he
can see which way the musical wind is blowing.
He says that "popular" music of the day is sel-
dom called for, and that the preference seems to
be for excerpts from the Italian operas.
"The popular music of to-day is not the musi-
cal comedy selection or rag time," continued Mr.
Franko. "The public's taste for music has im-
proved by leaps and bounds, and this must be
attributed to the influence of the two opera
houses in New York. I contend that music,
which is lucrative and ennobling, must come
from the stage. Concerts and musicales are all
very well for the musical scholars, but the gen-
