Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or theater:
“Syncopations are no indication of light or trashy music, and to shy bricks at hateful ragtime no longer passes for musical culture.”
—Scott Joplin (18681917)
“...I have never known a movement in the theater that did not work direct and serious harm. Indeed, I have sometimes felt that the very people associated with various uplifting activities in the theater are people who are astoundingly lacking in idealism.”
—Minnie Maddern Fiske (18651932)
