WOMAN SONG WRITER MAKES GOOD paigns. In some quarters there is a tendency at the Queen's Hall in London in 1894. His
Glad Forster's "In Cleopatra's Land" Proves
Her Ability in That Line
Miss Glad Forster is the author of both the
words and music of a new song entitled "In
Cleopatra's Land," which is described as an
Oriental fantasy. While this is by no means
the first effort of this young writer it appears
Miss Glad Forster
to be her best, as both the words and melody
have a big appeal.
Miss Forster is the author of two other songs,
"At the Village Ball" and "Big Yellow Moon,"
both of which stamp the writer as anything but
mediocre. Her latest effort, "In Cleopatra's
Lrfnd," has, like her two previous works, been
accepted by Leo Feist, Inc., who will un-
doubtedly feature it in one of their early cam-
Pace & Handy, originators of the "BLUES,"
specialists in rags and Southern ballads, offer
"The Song the Sunny Southland
Sings"
"Satan, I'm Here"
"Oh! Death Where Is Thy Sting"
"Ringtail Blues"
"Hooking Cow Blues"
"Who Have You Been Loving
Since I Went Away"
"Remember"
"The Kaiser's Got the Blues"
to belittle the efforts or the results obtained
by women popular song writers in the past, but
Miss Forster's work offers no basis for such
an attitude.
SCOTTI TOURS WITH "L'ORACOLO"
His Company Will Feature That Successful
Opera on Countrywide Tour
Antonio Scotti, the Italian baritone of the
Metropolitan Opera Co., started out Monday,
April 28, on a tour of the United States, at the
head of his own opera company, with artists,
chorus and orchestra recruited principally from
the Metropolitan. The organization is known
as the Scotti Grand Opera Co. and is presenting
on tour a double bill, the successful Metropolitan
Opera House novelty "L'Oracolo," by Franco
Leoni, after the story of "The Cat and the
Cherub," with Mr. Scotti in his role of Chim-
Fang, and "Cavalleria Rusticana."
The tour, arranged by the Metropolitan Mu-
sical Bureau, covers the South, East and Middle
West. Music-lovers from many States and cities
who remember Mr. Scotti's well-known imper-
sonation of Scarpia in "La Tosca" desire to see
him in his latest creation. In "L'Oracolo" he
will present a novelty outside of New York, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and few operas can equal
the thrilling tenseness of its drama. Mr. Scotti
will direct every detail of the production.
Franco LeoTii, the composer of "L'Oracolo,"
was born in Milan October 24, 1864. He was
the son of Albert Leoni, the celebrated profes-
sor of singing, and his wife, Eleonora Locatelli.
He received his musical education at the conser-
vatoire of Milan and studied under Domiceti
and Ponchielli.
His first opera, "Raggio di Luna," was first
produced in Milan in 1888. The next big work
was "Sardanapalus" cantata, which was given
