The article presents information about the music "Fantasia,"--and Deems Taylor in particular--offering images as the proper effect of music. In a review of "Men of Music" about a year ago the author referred writer Aldous Huxley's essay "Music at Night," in which he writes of what a painting will say to anyone. For a person with sensitiveness to the eloquence of form in sound, a Mozart symphony has exciting meaning; for a person without this sensitiveness it has no meaning at all; neither the meaning of its formal eloquence, which he cannot perceive; nor the meaning he looks for--expressible in words and concerned with actions and ideas--which the music does convey.
