FRIENDLY word to Seattle musicians and music lovers—why not GET TOGETHER, in the inter- ests of art and culture, as business men are getting to- gether to Abi soey the Harmony, Musicians! split into wrangling cliques, You belittle each other, and succeed mostly in belittling yourselves, One great comes to Seattle, and just because he or she did not happen to be brought here by your clique, you refuse your patronage. It is you, of course, who are the loser—you and your city and the other clique that is bringing the artist, and the artist, too. You are all losers by the folly. And it works, the same way in our local musical undertakings. It seems as if some of you would rather have the other fellow make a failure than a success. Maybe you imagine this is excusable on the grounds of “temperament.” It strikes The Star as shameful. Think it over. Music is too fine, too beautiful to be marred by such pettiness. And Seattle is too big a city for this village-caliber goings-on. * * artist F you are interested in city politics—and which of us isn't, to some degree?—you will enjoy a series of articles that are beginning in The Star today (on page 3), by J.
