SIR THOMAS BEECHAM
CRITICISM OF AUSTRALIA NO CONTRIBUTION TO ARTS LEGAL ACTION THREATENED (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) TORONTO, Nov. 24 The noted English conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, said that during his Australian tour he found that the people were “living in a fool’s paradise, a cuckoo town of unreality.” Referring to the interviews which caused so much controversy in Australia, Sir Thomas said: “Australia’s contribution to the world of arts is nil. I have been in the thick of many musical controversies, but I never received so much undeserved and unprovoked abuse as in Australia.” He added that he was planning to sue some of the people who wrote abusive letters to him.
