V. Appreciative Attitude and Critical
Attitude.
By LUISA TETRAZZ1NI
COPYRIGHT. 1909. BY .AMERICAN PRI3S ASSOCIATION
ySEznllKRE Is nothlm : HO bciipfli'Ial
r the kindly -
to the young artist as
ly nnd ju I rrlll Ism of a per
son who knows and nothing no
stimulating ns his praise.
Among my most priceless posses
sions 1 treasmc the words of encouragement
and Sem-
agement given me by Pattl
brlrh. the e wonderful artists , when I
was beginning my career.
is splendid example of
Mine. Pntll a
to artistic
the ninny HldodiicsH necessary
pcrf' . Her wonderful voice
tic < ' < Hun.
was always supplemented by complete
knowledge of tin- art of singing , and
her mastery of languages and of dif
ferent llelds of art made her not only
a great artist , but a most Interesting
woman.
To hear an artist of thin kind Is one
of the moHt profitable parts of a mu
sical education.
But there are two ways of listening
to a singer. There Is the appreciative
way , and there Is the entirely critical.
The beginner usually tries to show her
knowledge by her Intensely critical
attitude.
The older you become In your art
the more readily you will bo able to
appreciate and learn from the singers
you hear on the opera or concert stage.
The greatest and the humblest sing
er can teach you something. Hut to
learn you must be In a receptive atti
tude.
The public has no real conception of
what an amount of Intelligent work
besides talent nnd art Is necessary to
achieve the results which It SOON or
hears. Only those whose lives arc de
voted to the same Ideals can under
stand the struggles of other artists ,
and It Is for that reason that apprecia
tion and not condemnation should been
on the tongues of thos who them
selves have studied.
The artist must demand the greatest
things of herself , and what may be
good enough for others Is not good
enough for her. As the poet says , "Art
Is long , " though life may be short , nnd
singing Is one of the most fleeting of
all arts , since once the note Is uttered
It leaves only n memory In the hear
er's mind nnd since so many beautiful
voices , for one reason or other , go tc
pieces long before their time.
If the singer's health Is good the
voice should end only with life Itself
provided , of course , It bus been used
with understanding nnd with art.
In performing before the public one
should bo governed by the tastes of
the public , not by one's own tastes.
Just as the comedliiu usually wishes to
play Hamlet and the man of tragic
mien thinks he could be a comedy star ,
the singer who could make a fortune
nt Interpreting chnnsonnetteg usually
wishes to sing operatic role * ? , and the
singer with n deep nnd heavy voice Is
lonclm ; to Inflict baby songs on a long
suffering public.
It Is easy enough to find out what
the public wishes to hoar , and , though
one should always be enlarging one's
repertory , It Is not a bad Idea to stick
to that field for which one Is pnrticu-
IrtVly fitted vocally and physically.
In studying a role after one has mas
tered the technical difficulties one
should try to steep ovie's personality
Into that of the character one Is to
portray , and for that reason all study ,
no matter what It Is. and rending of
nil kinds help one In developing a
part.
The great Italian tragedienne Duse
told me that one of her greatest pleas
ures was to wander about tin- streets
Incognito watching the types of people
ple , following them round , observing
them In their dally lives and remem
bering nil the small details of action ,
gesture or expression which she could
some day embody Into a role.
The more one sees and studies people
ple with sympathy the more points
one gets for the study of life which is
embodied In the nrt one gives forth.
Hut It Is sympathy with one's follow
beings nnd kindly observation which
help one here , never the critical nttl-
tude.
An artist can only afford to be cold
ly critical toward his own work and
not toward the work of others.
Recently a young woman who start
ed her vocal career as a contralto bus
sung the most difficult of Wngiiorlnn
soprano parts. Her high notes , It Is
true , were not the high notes of a nat
ural soprano voice , but the care and
perfection with which each high note
was attacked were worthy of closest
attention and admiration nnd defied
crltli Ism.
Hearing the smaller singers , the be
ginners who are still struggling with
their art should awaken In the he'irt
of the Intelligent listener not con
temptuous nitlrlsm , but should be one
means of realizing one's own vocal de
fects nnd the possible ways of over
cf.mlng them.
There are bad singing teachers , of
course , but often the pupils are worse
and will not listen to advice. The
large nnd shrieking voice usually be
longs to this type of pupil , for It Is
easier to force the voice when the
temperament Is robust nnd the vocal
cords equally strong than It Is to learn
gently nnd quietly the correct and
natural position In voice placement ,
nnd It Is i-uslor to make a noise as best
you can Mian to us"e Intelligently the
different resonance cnvltles for the
blending of the perfect tone.
Another fault severely criticised In
the youthful singer IB n lack of cor
rect pronunciation or diction. It Is
nnlv fter the voleo lu perfectly con-
trolled that the lips and tongue can
fund Ion freely for the pronunciation
of syllables.
While the voice Is In what might be
called a state of ferment the nlngor la
only anxious to produce tones , nnd
diction slips by the wayside. The ap
preciative listener should be able to
know whether n lack of diction on the
singer's part means Immaturity or
simply slovenliness.
Still another fault In voice produc
tion Is the tremolo. It Is the ovenun-
bilious singer , the singer who forces n
small , light organ to do heavy work
who develops the tremolo.
The tremolo Is a sure sign that the
vocal chords have been stretched beyond -
yond their natural limits , and there Is
only one thing can cure this. That It-
absolute rest for some time nnd then
beginning the study of the voice , first
singing with the mouth closed nnd re'
lying entirely on very gentle brcatli
pressure for the production of UK
Hound.
The pupil suffering from tremolo or
even very strong vibrato must hnve
courage to stop at once nnd to forego
having a big voice. After nil , the most' '
beautiful voices in the world are not
necessarily the biggest voices , and cer
tainly the tremolo Is about the worst' ' '
fault a singer can have. But that , like
almost any other vocnl defect , can be
cured by persistent effort of the right
kind.
In singing In public as well ns when
practicing the singer must stand so
that the body will be perfectly and
firmly poised. One should always
stand in such n position ns to be able
to Inhale comfortably mid control n
large breath , to allow the throat abso
lute freedom , with the head sulllclent-
ly raised to let the Inflowing air pene
trate all the resonance cavities.
The great thing to avoid Is stiffness
or discomfort of any kind In the pose.
At the same time one must have a gra
cious air and , while feeling perfectly
solidly poised on the feet , must make
the Impression of a certain lightness
and freedom from all bodily restraint.
I have not meant In these short arti
cles to give you anything but a very
general Idea of the salient points ol
the art of singing. After all , each one
must do thc'rcnl work herself.
The road Is full of discouragements
nnd hardships , but there Is always
something new nnd interesting to
lenr . nnd to achieve success , whether
for the public or merely for the home
circle , is worth nil the trouble one cnn
take. And so I wish you nil success.
CALIFORNIA'S WELCOME.
San Francisco the First American City
to Hear Tetraziini.
Snn Francisco w.ns the first Ameri
can city to henr Lufsa Tetrnzzlui sing.
When she appeared In "Rlgoletto1" nt
the Tlvoll Jni ) . 11 , 1003 , the Chronicle
critic said : "No wonder that Courted
has signed Slgnorina Lnlsa Tetraz-
zlnl to sing the Scmbrlch nnd Mclba
roles next season ! Hearing her last
evening ns Glldn In 'Rlgoletta' nt the
opening of the first opera season In
the new Tlvoll Opera House , It wns no
treason to think that at some nearby
day Mcllm and Sembrlcb mny be
signed to sing Tetrnzzlnl roles. Thts-
young prlma donna , whose namer
though well known In Europe , has
been practically unspoken and imprint
ed In this country , except among the
Latln-Amerlcnus , made an Instanta
neous and electrifying success last
night. She gave the vast audience
which gnthercd to hear the Itnllnn
singers , who have come via Mexico
and Havana bound , a surprise and
hours of thrilling pleasure.
"The very first note Tetrazzlnl snng
made the nudlence hold Its breath , and
by the time she had finished 'Caro
nome' It was cheering and clapping
nnd calling 'bravas' with a zest and
nn enthusiasm seldom ever seen In
San Francisco , where a 'California
welcome' has earned some fame for
Its quantity and quality. Tetrazzlnl
repeated nil of 'Cnro nome , ' only to
bring the nudlence ngnln to a tremendous
deus expression of approval.
"Totrazzlnl's voice Is the absolutely
pure soprano , liquid , Ineffably sweet ,
produced with blrdllko ease , never los
ing its bell quality even in the most
attenuated pianissimo tones. Melba's
'
famous C lu 'La Bohemc , by com
mon consent regarded as an absolutely
perfect tone , was not one whit better
that the one Tetrazzlnl sang as she
walked back In the garden after
'Caro nome. ' What will she do with
the beil song In 'Lakme , ' nnd will Pattl
be heard again when she sings the
Jewel song In 'FaustV Surely the unfolding -
folding of the vouc that sang Gllda
Inst evening should bo a revelation. "
It Amuses Her.
On account of the unique quality of
Mine. Tetrazzlnl's voice , a tone entirely
of prlma donna of
ly unlike that any
the present day , her singing has been
ascribed to hypnotic Influence , a la
Trilby.

MARY GARDEN MOTHER.
In Her Student Days In Latin Quarter ,
Diva Had a Little Love Affair.
Chicago , March 27. Musical critics
and magazine writers who have given
to the public whole volumes about
Mary Garden learned last night that
there were several Interesting epi
sodes In the life of the gifted diva that
had escaped their ntteiition.
Much has been written about the
assiduous attention given to her train
ing and the patronage of Mrs. David
Mayer , but the little stories about
the years spent. In Paris did not be
come the subject of any pen until the
rail falling out with Mr. and Mrs.
Mayer disclosed the caitbe of the
severance of friendship.
Then a romance which many actors
say is a necessary experience for true
acting came to light. It was a love
affair with n student of the Latin
quarter , their union and the birth of
a baby. The name of her hero , hit
present location and the whereabouts
of the child have not been revealed.
At Kensington.
Mrs. F. E. Howins , Mrs. M. A
France and Mrs. Annie Chapman on
tertalned a company of forty ladlei
at a Kensington at the home of Mrs
France on South Twelfth street yes
terday afternoon. After a dalntllj
served four-course luncheon , the
guests were entertained by a guessing
contest in which Mrs. J. H. Oxnam
and Mrs. O. L. Hyde cut for the
prize , Mrs. Hyde winning. In a
memory test Mrs. F. II. Scott won the
honors. Mrs. H. L. Snydcr rendered
a piano solo and a vocal number. Mrs ,
Hyde gave a monologue. A pink and
white color scheme was carried out
In the decorations.
Dewey Sfi In the Ring.
O'Neill Frontier : The prize fight
at Crawford on the nfght of March 17
between Mustain and Dewey , resulted
In a victory for Dewey , the colored
man. In the seventeenth round he
put Mustain to sleep. It is now
claimed Dewey will go after some ot
the top notchers In the pugilistic game.
MURDERER CAME TO NORFOLK.
After Shooting .His Companion at Val
entine , Story Came Here ,
Valentine , Nob. , March 26. Special
to The News : Story went to Nor
folk after murdering Smith. He and
Smith left Douglas , Wyoming , on Octo
ber 9 , 1008 , both having considerable
money with them , but trying to travel
without using very much of It. They
first bought a ticket to > Andrews from
where they walked to Glen and there
slept all night In a straw stncic and
next morning took the passenger train
Into Clmdron , from where on the night
of October 10 they started to beat
their way cast but were discovered
and kicked off at Valentine on the
morning of the eleventh.
They then stnited to walk down the
track and when they come to the Nlo-
brara river , which Is about three and
a half miles from Valentino , they both
lay down nnd went to sleep on the
north side of the river. Story now
gets rather mixed up In his tale but
anyway It is nero that he shot Smith
In the back of the head with a Colts'
automatic. Ho then robbed the body
of $45 in cash and found that $340 of
the boy's money was In certificates of
deposit which were useless to him , so
ho tore them up and also proceeded
to destroy all evidence ot any kind
that might lead to the identity of the
murdered man nnd finally throws the
body In the river where It floated n
short distance and landed on a sand
bar whore It wns discovered a few
days later by n couple of boys out
hunting.
Story then went to Norfolk , then to
Fremont and then to Schuylor and
on to Columbus , and then to North
Platte , from where ho writes a letter
to the man ho murdered and addresses
It to Smith's homo at Grafton , Neb , ,
In hope of throwing the authorities off
the track , but this wns one of the
things which helped trnco him when
the offlclnls finally got on the right
track. From North Plntto ho went to
Cheyenne where his folks reside and
afterwards to Lo Grande , Ore. , whore
ho was working on a bridge gang when

Rosseler went and brought him back
to Valentine.
Judge Wostovor is looked for to give
Story his sentence and It Is thought
ho will bo sent up for life for murder
In the second degree.
This case has been n puzzler from
the llrst as so llttlo evidence was left
to work Horn. Two PInkertou men
had been at work on the case and fail
ed to inn n\ol It and the credit of the
whole thing lies nil to the uneensing
work of both Sheriff Rossolcr and
County Attorney 'Pucker who from
the llrst left nothing undone which
might lend o a clue , nnd with noth
ing to work from but a little black
sateen purse they finally found out
who the murdered man was and very
rapidly traced up the murderer.
The people of Cherry county all feel
very well satisfied with the thorough
work and results of the two above
mentioned officials.

She read it nil and she knows , and
doesn't care. I don't know Mrs.
Gould very well , but she is perfectly
charming. I think I have seen her
seven times in seven years. I never
saw her drink a cocktail. I could al
most say she did not take them. She
has taken a little wine with her din

about some in her machine , a party of
us , but I was never with her in my
life alone. "
