OPERA MANAGER WRITES.
"If you want good opera, go to Chicago," writes
Manager Herbert M. Johnson. "We have been in
Dresden, Salzburg and Munich during the last week
and we are more convinced than ever that Europe
in general does not yet approach the high standard
set by the Chicago Civic Opera, although there has
been considerable improvement in the last year. At
Dresden, we saw and heard 'Elektra' and it was not
an inspired performance, but the artists were ade-
quate. We also heard Rose Pauly sing the Egyptian
Helen, Rethberg having gone to America. Pauly also
sings the role in Vienna as Jeritza did only the one
performance early in June. The Strauss opera makes
exceedingly heavy demands on the prima donna. It
is a much better work than 'Intermezzo' musically
and hteatrically, but in it Strauss has fallen far short
of the great scores he produced in his youth. Taken
all in all, Strauss' fame would seem to rest on his
symphonic compositions rather than his operas."
MUSIC IN COLLEGE COURSE.
Scripps College for Women, the most recently es-
tablished of the Claremont colleges, Claremont, Cal.,
which opened its doors to its first group of freshmen
last fall, will begin its second school year next
autumn with a feature unique in American colleges.
Music will be studied by all Scripps students as a
branch of culture, as literature or science are studied,
and as in the case of literature and science its sig-
nificance in the influencing of civilization and the
understanding of the life will be emphasized. It is
expected that this will become one of the most emi-
nent features of the new collegiate plan.
