What a Cow!
‘T HERE was a story current a while back of an evacuated London child who thought the country people pretty backward for getting their milk out of a dirty old cow, instead of out of a nice clean bottle as they did in town. In case Dr. Muriel Beli is beginning to frown at me, I hurry to add that I am fully aware of the necessity for putting water coolers, pasteurising plants, bottle‘washing machinés and all the rest of it between us and the cow; on the other hand, I don’t think you can apply the same system to the, world of music and its personalities without losing a great deal. The other day Dr. Malcolm Sargent spent 24 hours in Auckland, and he will know I mean no disrespect if I |continue my metaphor and say that I wish 1YA had gone out to him bucket in hand, confused and travel-weary as he may have been. Perhaps they did, but the buéket came back empty. Two days later they took out of the cupboard one of those cold-storage programmes in which distinguished persons are processed, devitalised, dehydrated and generally rendered innocuous and indistinguishable. In a "For My Lady" session, against a background of fragments of Boccherini’s Minuet, Princess Ida and the Emperor Concerto, we were told a few highlights of the career of the World’s Great Artist No. 59: Dr. Malcolm Sargent.
