About this book
The Fifth String is a book by John Philip Sousa. The text says the coming of Diotti to America had awakened more than usual interest in the man and his work. Mr. Henry Perkins, the well-known impresario, announces with an air of conscious pride and pardonable enthusiasm that he had secured Diotti for a limited number of concerts.
A speaker remembers a picture in one of our Italian galleries that always impressed the speaker as the ideal image of maternal happiness. Perkins is said usually to take all the credit for a success, and with charming consistency to place all responsibility for failure on the shoulders of the hapless artist. In the book a saying goes that love without money won’t travel as far as money without love.
