MIRIAM By Fay Stevenson Conpright, 1921, by the Prem Publishing Co, The Now York Evening World.) EN or fifteen years ago you could count the American-born grand ra singers on one hand.* The German, Russian, Pole and rench singers outnumbered the ‘Americans neurly twenty to one. All that has been changed. To-day the rosters of the Metropolitan and Chicago companies contain almost as y American ‘ign names— ar the list of Americans grows larger The old fetish that American Voice is not sulted to grand opera is ~@@ the discard. Given the proper teachers, young men and women of the the United States can develop just as good voices as those of the ola aoantry expects to find that American men sAnd, when it comes to histrionic Fé 4s gifted as American women, Al- i@bility the Americans are recognized though America now boasts of such “as far eupertor clever opera singers as Charles Hack- Mr. Gatti-Casaz ett, Clarence Whitehill Riccarde Mar- Politan Opera un and Orville Harrold, the women a of the Metro- mpany has been in favor of giving the Arherican voice « “ve far outscored the men in num- “fair trial for the last eight or nine 6 years, Now he is convinced that Aecoming to Mr. Guttt-Casaaza, the ‘Americans have such excellent voices T#880n there are so few American that we need not draw so heavily Mle volevs compared to the female from Europe voices is simply due to the fact that Mr. t!-Casazza is especially the American boy is seldom given pleased with the American woman ™usical opportunities.

Miss Mary Garden, Director General of the Chicago Opera Company, also has great faith in the American singer. - “It is not the nationality, but the voice which counts,” says “our Mary.” “I have always been in favor of voice, regardless of country. Ameri- cans’ have fine voices. Charles Hackett, Orville Harrold, Miss Cora Chase and Dorothy Frances have ex- quisite voices. “Our Mary" further stated that a few years ago an American singer had to take a foreign name if she or he wished to make a success.

Miss Chase was born in Massachusetts, made her first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House as Gilda in Verdi's “Rigoletto” this season, and is now well recognized in the operatic world. Florence Madbeth is another young American girl who has won fame as “nm American singer, Miss Macbeth was born in Mankato, Minn. Among the new but able American singers we find Cyrene Van Gordon, who was born in Cincinnati; Doto- thy Francis, a Boston girl; Frances Peralta, who took a foreign name but is Miss Partington of San Fran- cisco; Alice Muriam, a Kansas girl, and Sue Harvard, born in Wales but educated in America. To American opera’ lovers it must be most pleasing to see American faces and hear American voices just by way of variety. / Among the American sopranos who have been singing for several years we bave Mary Garden, Gladye Ax- man, Mary Ditis, Margaret Farnam Geraldine Farrar, Rita Fornia, Mabel Garrison, Edna Kellogg, Mary Me! lish, May Peterson, Rosa Ponsel Margaret Romaine and Marie Tiffany If some of these names sound for- eign, remember they have probably been “taken.” Among the mezzo-sopranos and contraitos we find: Cecil Arden, Jeanne Gordon, Frances Ingram, Kathleen Howard and Lila Robeson. jong the tenors: Paul Althouse, . Charles Hackett, Riccardo Martin, Orville Harrold and Charles Marshall. Among the baritones: ‘Thomas Chalmers, Louis D'Angelo, Clarence Whitehill and Reinald Werrenrath. Mr. Gatti-Casazza and Mary Gar- den and those who know predict a brilliant future for American singers of both sexes. Ever Gamble rial Now Appearing in The Evening World. . IN LOVE?
