IV. Facial Expression and Mirror
Practice.
By LUISA TETRAZZINI
COPYRIGHT. 1909 , BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Rlinlying a new role am In the
IN habit of praetl' in ; , ' In front of a
mirror In order to get an Idea of
the effect of a facial expression
and to see that it does not take away
from the correct position of the mouth.
The young singer should practice
constantly In front of a mirror as soon
as she begins to sing songs or to ex
press emotions In her music , for the
girl with the expressive face Is likely
to contort her mouth BO that the cor
rect emission of tones Is Impossible.
The drainlie : ! artist depends largely
for her expression on the changing
lines of the mouth , chin and jaw , and
In any Hues spoken which denote com
mand or will you will nee the actor's
Jaw setting ami becoming rigid with
the rest of the facial mask.
Now , a singer can never allow the
facial expression to alter the position
of the Jaw or mouth. Facial expres
sion for the singer must concern itself
ehlelly with I lie eyes ami forehead.
The mouth must remain the same ,
and the Jaw must ever be relaxed ,
whether the song is one of deep Inten
sity or a merry scale of laughter.
The mouth in singing should always
smile slightly. Thh slight smile at
once relaxes the lips , allowing them
free play for the words which they
and the tongue , must form and also
given the singer 'a slight sensation of
uplift necessary for singing.
It Is Impossible to slug well when
mentally depressed or even physically
Indisposed slightly. Unless one has
complete control over the entire vocal
apparatus ami unless one can simu
late a smile one does not feel the voice
will lack some of Its resonant quality , ,
particularly In the upper notes , where
the smiling position of the mouth adJusts -
Justs the throat and air passages for
the emission of light tones.
The lips are of the greatest aid In
shaping and shading the tones. Wag-
nerlan singers , for Instance , who em
ploy trumpet-like notes In certain pas
sages are often seen shaping their lips
like the mouthpiece of a trumpet , with
a somewhat square opening , the lips
protruding.
However , this can be practiced only
after perfect relaxation of the Jaw and
control of the tongue have been ac
complished.
A singer's mouth must always look
pleasant , not only because It creates a
disagreeable Impression on the audi
ence-to see a crooked and contorted
mouth , but also because natural and
correct voice production requires a
mouth shaped almost Into a smile.
Too wide a smile often accompanies
what Is called "the "
white voice. This
Is a voice production where a head
resonance alone Is employed , without
sufficient of the appogio or enough of
the mouth resonancq to give the tone
a vital quality. This "white voice"
should bo thoroughly understood and
Is one of the many shades of tone a
singer can use at times , just as the
Impressionist uses various unusual col
ors to produce certain atmospheric ef
fects.
For Instance , In the mad scene In
"Lucia" the use of the "white volte"
suggests the babbling of the mad wo
man , as the same voice In the last act
of "Travlata" or In the last act of
"Bohcme" suggests utter physical ex
haustion and the approach of death.
An entire voice production on these
colorless lines , however , would always
lack the brilliancy and the vitality
which Inspire enthusiasm.
One of the compensations of the
"white voice" singer Is the fact that
she usually possesses a perfect diction.
The voice Itself Is thrust'lnto the head
cavities and not allowed to vibrate In
the face and mouth and gives ample
room for the formation of vowels and
consonants. And the singer with this
voice production usually concentrates
her entire attention on diction.
The cure for this tone emission Is ,
Ilrst of all , the cultivation of the
breath prop , then attacking the vowel
sound o o In the medium voice , whl ! )
requires a low position of the larynx ,
and exercises on the ascending scalp
until the higher notes have been
brought down , as It were , and gain
some of the body and support of the
lower notes without losing their qual
ity.
ity.The
The singer's expression must concern -
cern Itself chiefly with the play of
emotion around the eyes eyebrows
and forehead. You have no Idea how
much expression you can get out of
your eyebrows , for Instance , until you
study tl e question and learn by exper
iment I'nt ' a complete emotional scale
can be symbolized outwardly In the
move-incuts of the and
- eyelids eye
brows.
A very drooping eyebrow Is express
ive of fatigue , either physical or men
tal. This lowered eyelid Is the aspect
we see about us most of the time , par
ticularly on people past their first
youth. As It shows a lack of Interest.
It Is not a favorite expression of actors
and Is only employed where the role
makes It ncesHiiry.
TUT * rising anxiety Is depicted by
slanting the eyebrows obliquely In a
downward line toward the nose.
Com filtrated attention draws the
eyebrows together over the bridge of
the nose , while furtlveness widens the
space again without elevating the eye
brows.
In the eyebrows alone you can depict
mockery , every stage of anxiety or
pain , astonishment , ecstasy , terror ,
suffering , fury and admiration , besides
all the subtle tones between.
in hln in- ; roles of songs It Is neces
sary to I'nictlfe before the mirror in
order to see thnt this facial expression
is present and that It Is not exagger
ated ; that the face Is not contorted bylines
'
lines of suffering or by the lines o'f
mirth.
Another thing the young singer must
not forget in making her Initial bow
before the public Is the question of
dress. When singing on the platform
or stage dress as well as you can.
Whenever you face the public have at
least the assurance yon are looking
your very best ; that your gowns hang
well , are well fitted and are of a be
coming color.
It Is not necessary that they should
be gorgeous or expensive , but let them
always be suitable , and for big cities
let them be Just as sumptuous as you
can afford. At morning concerts In
New York velvets and hand painted
chiffons are considered good form ,
while in the afternoon handsome silk
or satin frocks of a very light color
arc worn with hats.
If a singer chooses to wear a hat let
her be sure that Its shape will not In
terfere with her voice.
A very large hat , for Instance , with
a wide brim that comes down over the
face , acts as a sort of blanket to the
voice , eating up the sound and de
tracting from the beauty of tone ,
which should go forth Into the audi
ence. It Is also likely to shade the
singer's features too much and hide
her from view from those sitting In
the balconies or galleries. As a rule ,
the singer's hat should be small or
with a flaring brim , which does not
detract from the tone.
Another word on the subject of cor
sets. There Is no reason In the world
why a singer should not wear corsets ,
and If singers have a tendency to grow
stout a corset Is usually a necessity.
A singer's corset should be especially
well fitted around , the hips and should
be extremely loose over the diaphragm.
If made In this way It will not Inter
fere In the slightest degree with the
breath.
Now as to diet and the general mode
of life. Every singer must take care
of her health. But that docs not nec
essarily mean that she must wrap her
self In cotton batting and lead a se
questered existence. I don't believe
that any person who wants to make a
public career can accomplish It and
also Indulge In social dissipations. So
ciety must bo cut out of the life of the
would be singer , for the demands made
by It on time and vitality can only be
given at a sacrifice to one's art.
The care of the health Is an Individ
ual matter , and what agrees well with
me would cause others to sicken. I
cat the simplest food always , and nat
urally , being an Italian , I prefer the
food of my native land. But simple
French or German cookery agrees with
mo quite as well. And I allow the
tempting pastry , the rich and over-
spiced patte , to pass me by untruehed
and console myself with quantities of
fruit and fresh vegetables.
Personally I never wear a collar and
have hardened my throat to a consid
erable extent by wearing slightly cut
out gowns always In the house , and
oven when I wear furs I do not have
them closely drawn around the neck ,
I try to keep myself at an even bodily
temperature , and fresh air has been
my most potent remedy at all times
when I have been Indisposed.

Des Molnes Paper Tells of Norfolk
Man Who Was Former Constable.
The Des Molnes Register and Leader
In printing a large photograph of
Frank Pierce , giving his residence at
Norfolk , and his old time associates
as constables In Des Moiiies , says :
Among the memoirs which cling to
Des Molnes' history preceding the
annexation and immediately there
after , are those associated with Frank
Pierce and his co-workers in the hunt
for contraband llquois.
Plerco Is said now to be located in
Nebraska and to have become
wealthy In oil development in the
southwest.
Recently Chief Ed E. Johnston of
the detective force came upon a rare
picture of Pierce and the other con
stables who operated In Des Molnea
from 1880 to 1890. It was taken at
the James studio In 1889. Pierce sits
in the middle of the lower row. In
front of him Is a cast Iron dog , an
ornament of the studio.
Before 1890 there wore a half
dozen towns around the city of Dea
Molnes. They Included Capital Park ,
Sevastopol , Chesterfield , Greenwood
Park , University Place , North Dea
Moines , etc. Some were regularly
organized towns. Most of them were
In Independent townships. Each town
ship was entitled to two constables.
Under the law a constable may operate
outside of his township and Inside the
county. So It came that Pierce , who
lived In North Des Molnes , and Potts ,
who lived In Capital Park , could
search for contraband liquors and
servo warrants In the city of Des
Moines.
