In Paris

From Paris, a traveler returned to tell that the famous "Six" has dissolved. This sacred band has been killed by prosperity. For several years it played the drum and bugle of propaganda for its output of composition, but now its members, or several of them, have reaped consequent benefits. Darius Milhaud, in particular, has come to success. Therefore, they do not have to hang together, since there is no immediate likelihood of their hanging separately. They, or the more prosperous of them, have gone their own way. But the indomitable Eric Satie (who founded the "Six") has formed a new group of other ambitious ones. This he calls the "Four," and it is they who are providing the excitements. They gave a concert which provoked the usual tumult of plaudits and curses in the audience.
