willingly paid $5 each to hear this wizard
of the keyboard. In an interview, Paderew-
ski puts himself on record as believing that
the English have innate love of music. He
admits, however, a great need of culture,
and that, he thinks, can only be secured by
State and municipal support of the opera
and concerts.
'TCHAIKOVSKY, the Russian musical
genius, who died before his genius was
fully appreciated in any country, is becom-
ing every year more popular the world over.
In fact, it now looks like a Tchaikovsky
cult.
A CELEBRATED ARTIJT.
A MONG the artists that will appear under
** the management of the Charles L.
Young Amusement Company the coming
season is Frau Poehlmann, a great mezzo-
soprano-contralto, who has been a reigning
success in Continental Europe for the past
several seasons. Frau Poehlmann was born
in Otdesloe, near Hamburg, in 1870. Her
early studies were taken up in Lubeck, but
jt
OINGERS looking for a meritorious sa-
^ cred aria would do well to look up
Joseph J. Kaisers "Ave Maria," which is
written for soprano or tenor. It is a sim-
ple but melodious composition, well ar-
ranged, and abounds in religious fervor. It
is published by the composer at 40 West
Twenty-eighth street, New York.
IV/I USICALLY speaking, England, and
*•
not America, says the Evening Post,
is the land of "big things." At the Crystal
Palace, London, Sir Arthur Sullivan's
"Golden Legend" was sung on June 22H by
a chorus of 3,000 and an orchestra of 500.
"Lohengrin"; Amazena in "Trovatore";
Amneris in "Aida"; Orfeo in Gliick's com-
position of that name and many others. She
has also appeared in concert in nearly every
European city with notable success.
Ludwig Hartman, the eminent composet
and critic, in writing of Frau Poehlmann in
the Dresdener Zeitung, says: "The classical
songs of Frau Poehlmann are deserving of
special mention. Gifted with a powerful
resonant voice, she has the art of
accuracy in every point of execu-
tion, the most minute as well as the
most dramatic. That which espe-
cially distinguishes her perform-
ances is the truly classical beauty
with which she executes each num-
ber, etc."
Frau Poehlmann is a woman of
rare personal charm and attain-
ments, and will doubtless achieve
the same degree of success in this
country which she enjoys abroad.
' T H A T we shall hear Paderewski's new
opera, "Manru" in New York next
season is not at all probable. It is an ex-
tremely difficult work to interpret, and Pad-
erewski would not be likely to intrust it to
any one of the conductors Mr. Grau has
engaged for the coming winter. In view
of the success achieved abroad, he is natural-
ly desirous that the first representation in
this country shall be fully equal in every de-
tail to the initial performance in Europe.
r\E
KOVEN'S new opera, "Maid Mar-
ian," a sequel to "Robin Hood," will
be presented by the Bostonians in Philadel-
phia in November. The time of action is
a period in the fourteenth century. The
story will be told in three acts.
JVA OZART, some long years ago, or to
' * be more exact, in December, 1782, in
a letter to his father, wrote a sentence which
is timely and as true now as when written:
"To win applause, one must write things so
intelligible that a cabman may be able to
sing them, or else so unintelligible that peo-
ple will admire them for the very reason
that no one can comprehend them."
Nicholas Roosevelt, the young son of the
vice-president, was one of the students who
recently played a violin solo at the com-
mencement exercises of the Joseph Joachim
Violin School. He has, it is said, consid-
erable musical talent.

soon realizing the inadequacy of musical in-
struction there, she entered the Royal Con-
servatory in Dresden, where for four years
she studied under Prof. Scharfe. After com-
pleting her studies (in 1890), she was espe-
cially engaged as a prima donna contralto
in the Deutsches Theatre in Posen, and after-
wards in a similar capacity at the Royal
Opera at Weimar. Her success in both in-
stances was instantaneous and overwhelming.
Her repertoire was such parts as Ortrud in
F German and Italian mu-
sic Mascagni says: "The
Italian school of to-day seems de-
feated and prostrate, because the
Italian public, dazzled by the revo-
lutionary art of Wagner, has for
the time forgotten its past glory,
and has lost faith in the pygmies
who now feebly and uncertainly
champion its cause. Italian art will
have its resurrection— a resurrec-
tion made stronger by the influence
of the present movement—but not
until a great genius arises who can
effect the transformation by his
leadership. It looks as if Verdi
were prolonging his glorious life
that he might await this genius and
bequeath to him the laurels which
he himself received from the hands
of Rossini. However, as I have
said, the period through which we
are now passing is transitory. I
have a vision of a new florescence
of our dramatic and popular mu-
sic, when we shall again obtain the
leading position in the musical
world, which is now held by Ger-
many."
T"* HE latest news from over the water
about Alice Nielsen is that she con-
templates entering grand opera in the near
future. There are a lot of accompanying
details regarding study and roles which must
be received with a grain of salt.
