WASHING TON NEWS AND GOSSIP

Miss Mays Engagement in London

Foreign Correspondence New York Times !
In late letter / mentioned the fact that
Miss May, Of Washington, had Just signed a
six months contract with Mr. Lumley, man
ager Of the italian opera at London Your
readers, perhaps, know that Miss May is cousin
to the popular army officer of that name, and
niece to Mr. Gales, of the National Intelligen-
GER. For the last three or four years Miss
May has been studying Italian music in Eu-
rope under the best masters, mostly in Italy
For year past she has been in Paris She
is accompanied by her mother and sister, like
herself, admirers of music and ACCOMPLISHED
musicians.
Recently Miss May had been invited to
0Ndtt1ons before the iuries of the Grand and
Italian Operas in this city At the Grand
Opera, which represents the French school
you know the jealousy which prevails against
Italian music and the Italian style Miss May
sang on the stage of the Grand Opera before
this jury, composed Of MeSsrs Roger, the
leader OF the orchestra; Hector, Berlioz, Au-
Der, Halevy. Scribe, and other eminent must
clans, and they wore unanimous in their ex.
pressions Of admiration Of Miss Mays voice.
They advised her to take lessons in the French
school and study to pronounce well the French
language, and they would hear her again l
accompanied Miss May to this trial of her
voice, and was thus witness to her success
phatic admiration Of her voice, and NJ Calzado
at once mado a proposition to introduce her.
hrSt as substitute and then as a prima donna
on his stage. The number of prima donnas
already engaged rrecluded him from giving
her that position at once Miss May refused
this proposition, and it was while further ne.
gotiatiOns weIo going on between her and NJ
CatsSdO that Mr.. Lumley arrived 10 Paris In
search OF artists for his next opera season at
her Majesty's Theatre He went to see Miss
May, heard her sing, and at once offered her
an engagement which came up to he1 expecta-
tions, and she accepted it.
The principal and only serious criticism |
have heard made on Mis- Mays singing is in
regard TO her vOcalizatiOn. Without pretend
ing to defend this defect Of her education, 10
justice TO her ii must be stated that it is not so
much want OF talent or the power to van
quiSh the defect, IA an I'M atioLce on her part
to try her voice before the public II is sim
ply want sf study, and will be overcome by
time and practice. She has too much Of the
natural lmpetuoSity Of her country In the
higher notes Miss May is unsurpassed by any
singer On tho stage. Her falsetto notes are
also remarkable for their purity and sonorous.
| ness. 10 a fine form and self assured, com
| msndiug presence, Miss May unites a beauty
OF lace which cannot fail to add II aterially to
heE success in her musical career
The great success of the Williamses and
Murdoch at London makes the moment an
| suspicious one for Miss Mays Acbut before a
London audience. American actors Ameri-
can books and American songs are Just now
| the vogue there. We hope that Miss May.
de6Ut will contribute to tho increase of this
| transatlantic reputation.
