“…Between the acts the regular orchestra attached to the place performed Strauss’ waltzes and galops with as much zest and spirit as on week days…[from Falk’s reply to a reporter’s question regarding the Sunday law prohibiting the performance of secular music:] ‘They say they will allow sacred music; how can they tell what is sacred and what is not? Music is music; and they cannot discriminate between sacred music and that which is not sacred. I shall keep my place open until they close me up.’”
