from Hymn of Praise Mendelssohn With the last of the recitals at the First Unitarian Churrh last Tuenday night much praise has been expressed to the Channlng Auxiliary for Its be stowal of such a privilege to hear the new organ Organ music not generally acceptable to the everyday ear la coming more Into favor with the passage of time not only by reason of a wider knowledge on the part of the layman but because many are Just beginning to discover the absolute phys leal beauty of orchestral sounds as Emanating from thei organ In addition to its higher mlssloji of producing the spiritual effect through mimic With the passing of the Impression that organ music is wholly of a religious character and therefore solemn If not lugubrious the public discovers much that Is lightsome and nppeallng to the senses hut without taint of frivolity or Inslgnlru ance Through Ihls dlsroery lies the future of the organ as a popular source of munlial pleasure without Its decline from a status of dignity and nobLUu as It must ever continue to be known ss that most noble of Instruments according to the decree of a well known organist and composer In the specific case the Hooker me OTwriai organ

SINOEUS Large Operatic Repertory Needed to Compete in European Market EMILIE FllANCES BAUER NEW YORK June With the close of the musical season It ta but natural to look for the features of especial distinction which have manifested themselves In the development of the musical life of this country Perhaps the molt significant sign ot advancement la the opening of vast opportunities far the vocal students of America It Is but a few years since teachers and students as well were exceedingly pessimistic over th lack of opportunity for tha American and the Inroads made by the foreigners and It was but natural that the teachers should lose heart In their work and that their pupils found It hard to keep no enough enthusiasm to make good work possible Perhaps no one Is better qualified to express an opinion on the subject than Oscar Saenger who has pupils In the opera houses all oer the world Asked about the chances of the American student Mr Saengev said Any one who knows how much every opera house Is In need of properly equipped singers knows that the opera houses of the entire world are wide open to the American as well as to any ore else who can make good But no singer has the least chance because he has a beautiful voice eell trained as It mav bt and a great repertory of operatic arias He must have at least twenty entire roles In the different languages he must understand the technique of the stage he must hae a pure diction In all the languages and he must use Judgment ss to where to go If Europe Is the goal For Instance I would never send tenor or a baritone to Italy where wonderful tenors and baritones may be heard even among the street singers and vou must not forget that the street singer Is not ery far from the operatic stage If the right person hears him But they need sopranos and contraltos there and thev need tenors snd bassos In Hermans and the American singer who has learned In his own rountrv his loles his languages and his dramatic action can go right on to the stages of anv country In the world and make place for himself bv the side of the greatest artists that Kurope can send to us DRAMiTIC ACTION NFKDED But grsnd opera Is not only the aim of the American student nowadass nor Is grand opera the only place where good singing Is demanded Such a revlal as that of Robin Hood with Its superb rsst of singing actors has gone far toward making mediocre singers and actors Impossible There are certain demands however which light opera makes upon singers that grand opera does not and there are few demands which grand opera makes which light opera does not The light opera singer must have peraon slltv flexibility of bodv ss well aa of voice and a pure diction Dancing must be one of the equipments If not for the enactment of the role at least to give grace and poise to the body But alas for tfie singer who looks for light opera honors with diction that has been neglected and for this reason the students who have gone abroad for their education unless thev have studied with American teachers abrosd w1l find themselves practhally out of the light opera chances The lick of dramatic action stands In the wav of many singers otherwise well equipped for the stage Indeed even church Hr les have been raided for singers who mav now be found In light opera and In grand opera as well as the demand Is growing to such an extent that it Is becoming verv difficult to find tenors especially to All church positions This too has Its advantages for those who aim to he and to remain church singers as the field Is not overrun In church In concert or in oratorio circles WANT MECtJAD nOBIV HOOD The success of Robin Hood hss led Reginald de Koven to offer 1000 for a libretto on the order of the former success and In addition to this the successful candidate will receive a share of the royalties The De Koven Light Opera Company la now an established Institution with excel cent opportunities for singers Ao replace Bella Alten and Basil Ruysdael who will return to the Metropolitan but It Is understood that Florence Wlckham has been induced to pro long her engagement with this company The services of Walter Hyde the tenor from Covent Garden have been secured by this company for a term of years and It Is understood that several other engagements will be announced shortly Henry Savage who has been making a long tour In countries where he would be unable to hear of or talk of theatrical affairs has finally arrived In Paris In London Savage signed contracts for the production there of Everywoman with some of the foremost actors and actresses of London Mr Savage announces two elaborate revivals In The Merrv Widow and The Prince ofPllsen with the best available talent In both and he will send out two companies In Everywoman two In Excuse Me one company In Little Boy Blue headed by Gertrude Bo an two companies of The Million and several new productions Savage who said he went for rest stopped In the Orient with Daniel Frawle his general stage director who admitted that they had studied soma of the situations for a Japanese idyl In musical form entitled The Mousme to be produced next season BUTTERFLY IN BERLIN Berlin Is enjoying American opera Just now If so It may be called When Geraldlne Farrar la singing Mme Butterfly with Francis McLennan who has appeared In the role of Pink erton at

Ware coming to the Columbia in The Price She Lived in Hall Bedroom and Cooked Over Gas Jet Just Like Many Others KDfEMACOLOR INVENT0B IS YOUNG AMERICAN HFLEN WARE Americas youngest emotlpnsl star who will mske her first stsge appearance In Pan Francisco a week from Monday night at the Columbia Theater Is one actress who knows how difficult It Is for voung woman to tight her way to the top of the theatrical ladder Her career Is such a splendid example of the results of where there a will there a way and other encouraging platitudes that It Is decidedly Interesting although she Is of the opinion that It belongs In the bromide class I have told It so often she complains This new stsr In the theatrical Armament was horn In San Francisco and was taken East hy her famllv when she was 3 veers old I sm an Eastrner hy educstlbn she maintains but a Westerner by instinct She says that she was born with a love for the stage and alwajs felt that she could set although up lo the time of her first appearance on the stage the hadnt been to the theater more than a dozen times In her life If ss msny Her father and mother were not theater going people They went to see Booth and Barrett and other old favorites but dldn pay much attention to the newer plays or players They opposed their daughters going on the stsge so she had to earn the tuonev for the dramatic school herself I did a little of everything before I Anally landed on the stage she sas 7 taught school sang In the choir was a governess for a while taught swimming even tsught mv mother housekeeping msde the beds and scruhhed the floors when the maid fqrgot lo come or took French leave Oh I did a little of everything and out of It I scrimped and ssved enough for the J20 a month In sdvsnce please demsnded by the dramatic aehoo I couldn afford the yearly tuition of 1400 That sum was as large to me at that time as 4000 000 would be to me now Just sbout She only stsed In the dramatic school a few months She went there because It wss the only sesame to the stage that she could think of She explains that she knew no managers or anvbody connetrd with the theater and the advertisements of the dramatic school had led her to beliee that after a course with them one could bloom Immediately Into a Broadway star I lived through it all the hall bedroom conking over a gas burner and twenty flve cent dinners she said iTimt nit mv limit I thought I was dining sumptuously on that sum I know what It all means I feel life and that Is one reason I can act It as 1 I do I am perfectly sincere In all I do ments next seaaon In the form of a Roman Catholic Theater to which Cardinal Farley has promised his support Through the Interest and energy of Cardinal Farley New York has among Its organizations a Cathdllc Oratorio Society which undertakes to give some Important concerts during the season fThe Catholic Oratorio Society Is further distinguished by having as Its conductor Selma Kronod the only woman occupying a position of this kind To return to the theater however It Is planned to open the new playhouse on or near Broadway early next fall and the plan has at Its head Miss Eliza OB Lummls who Is also the founder of an organization of Catholic society women called Daughters of the Faith Miss Lummls states that there Is no Idea of presenting sectarian plays but she does desire to have one theater wherein the moral tone of the play can never be queJtlAned The auccess ot Maeterllncka Slater Beatrice Everyman the old English miracle play and the audiences which attend Parsifal at the Metropolitan aa also the Interest manifested In Maude Adams production of The Maid of Orleans gave riae to the Idea that the public was able to appreciate a play with the religious side strongly accentuated and there are many not only In the Catholic Church but in all ilrcles who are more Interested In drama with a serious message than In that which Is offered to tickle the senses CAVALIERI TO RETURN M1ss Lummls Is supported In the Idea that In a theater of this description the religious play such aa DAnnun zlo St Sebastian Rostands La Samarltalne and others of this nature would carry a very different Impression and that under such conditions they might be produced with no feeling of desecration while on a stage where farce comady had preceded such a work and It were to be followed with otge of the most auggesthe of the french playa the point of view would be very different It la announced that Llna Cavallerl will come to America next seaaon on a concert tour and with her will be Muratore the tenor from the Grand Opera of Paris who was reported a few weeks ago as having married the prima donna Mme Cavallerl Is at least a figure of unique Interest having been regarded for
