No mention of music; discusses the relevance of Aladdin for modern audiences, reading in part: “What are the enormous but mysterious riches of Aladdin, but a type of that suddenly-aquired wealth of the modern speculator or the Government contractor? Aladdin is the hero of over-issue, who has polished up his rusty lamp and finds rolls of greenbaks pour in upon him, without the honest effort of legitimate labor.”
