A Lucrative Position
Goldmark, the composer of “The Queen of Saba,” while traveling one day, found himself in a railway coupé with a strange lady. A conversation was soon started, and the composer introduced himself with these words: “I am Goldmark, the composer of The Queen of Saba.”
“Ah,” replied the lady, who was not much versed in musical or theatrical matters, “that must be a very lucrative position.”
