OUR MUSIC CRITIC.
Sir,-I was delighted to read the letter from Dr. J. C, Beaglehole in support of your music critic "Marsyas." It is notorious that the disgruntled and peevish are ever ready to seize their pens and dash off indignant letters to the Press, while the well-fed and satisfied relax in contentment. But surely it is time that the admirers of "Marsyas" began to express
their views, As Dr. Beaglehole has pointed out, "Marsyas" is in the tradition of early Shaw and the other writers he has mentioned. This is a tradition of original and independent thinking which is, as yet, foreign to New Zealand in the realm of the Arts, and is to be hailed with approbation and applause.
