By Nixola Greeley -Smith. | “I've sung Carmen 789 times to forty-nine different Don Joses,” proudly declared Zelle de Lussan, famous opera einger, who arrived in New York from Europe yesterday to play a vaudeville engagement on the Keith & Proctor circuit. ‘Moreover, it’s my ambition to raise | my record as Carmen to a thousand performances!” “And how many Don Joses are you looking for?” Mme. De Lussan laughed, her big black eyes flashing | amusement. “The more the merrier,” Joses are alike, you know. a tion of the role. NIDLAGREELEY XM An Italian or a Spaniard will play it with fervor. At the very first meeting with Carmen you see that he loves her ardently. | An English Don Jose, on the contrary, is likely to act as if he had just been i troduced to Carmen at a garden party and was still rather undecided as to whether she was a desirable person to know. Of course, Don Jose was a she replied. “No two Don| Each has a different concep- until | in| I theres anything in, the war of — Jewel that Spantard and a solider.

No man | kills a woman as he did unless he loves |her very much, It's never your good | housewife that sits at home darning | stockings whom men kill.” The prima donna sat back in her chair at the Hotel Woodstock, assumed a placid domestic attitude and for a mo- ent darned imaginary socks to illus- ate her point. indecd!" she declared indig- ntly. “It's the vixens they kill! It's | the vixens they love! * the singer replied prompt- the vixen {s fascinating and em- ploys arts to fascinate men which a better woman never thinks about.” An Absorbing Role. “The story of Carmen is most com- monpiace.” she continued. “A soldier kills his sweetheart. That happens every day. But there is something won- derful about the role. The more one plays it the more one wants to play it, 1 the better one's performance. I ave never in my life sung the last act without feeling that I am going to my doom. I really expect Don Jose to kill me. More than once he has nearly vone t, too. You see, the singer becomes utterly absorbed in the role, and does not know what he ts doing.: My last Don Jose, Philippe Brozel, a Russian, who sang with me two weeks ago in oulon, was certainly the most remark- able in this respect. He used to throw ne around the stage with such violence that I thought each time I would surely be murdered!” “Then, Don Joses are dangerous.” Don Joscs Dangerous, “I should say so. A famous prima donna was stabbed very badly in the arm in the Carmen death ecene by a man playing Don Jose a few years os The two artists had quarrelled, and no one who saw it doubted that the stab | was Intentional. “The artist loses himself in his role. He 1s Don Joag for the time being, and you have to resign yourself to being | thrown around just as if you were Carmen.” | “I believe Jean De Reszke was among your first Don Joses?" I interrupted. “Oh, no; Jean w about the thir- tieth:"” Madame De Lussan/ dissented, “but he was certainly one of the most charming.” “And you never grow tired of playing | such an ardent role?” “Oh, no," Madame De Lussan re- | plied, “To play an ardent role you! have to be ardent yourself; you have | to feel in your own heart everything that Carmen feels. I have heard peo- ple say that women seldom have the | passion of Carmen. But in America she is understood because Americans feel { deeply. They are intensely electric. Americans Are Ardent. “Perhaps it is the mixture of races, but American men and women seem to me to be the most ardent in the world. There is a strange look on the Amer- ican woman's face, which says: ‘I am the conqueror!’ which is not seen in any other women. I ike American men very much,” the singer added, And as we were now treading the familiar ground of the conventional in- terview, I left Madame De Luss wished ‘her an even thousand perf ances as Carmen and an even ni Don Joses. red ahead after the Court had modified the scope of the ingy ‘When was this check dated?” asked imson. 16,150 a Mr. Mayer.

Then Mr. Wise put Special Examiner Moxey on the stand, and the purpose of all this preliminary testimony was at last made plain. Mr. Moxey stated that at the opening of the day's business of Get. 15, 17, Morse’s account with the |Bank of North America amounted to $2,722.81. On that day he deposited checks of sufficient size to bring the bal up to $230A19.08, But he was vite? to draw out $450,100.50, lea inst.
