sEcRFrs or SINGERS.

Some of the secrets of operate life were
revealed in Court in New York recently,
As told by one Of the papers of that city.
1t occurred in the suit brought by Nine.
Scalchi against Henry f. Abbey to recover
81 $50, withheld because She refused to
sing in The Prophet at q matinee on
notice of an hour and i half Nine.
Scalchi had only just breaktasted, and de-
clared her inability to sing so exacting a
part so soon after heavy meal. Miss
Clara Louise Kellogg appeared in behalf
of her sister artist. Her testimony was as
follows:
" How long have YOU been upon the OPP
cratic stage ?" she was asked.
" 4 number of wears" was the answer,
given so primly that the audience burst
into laughter and the Clerk called them
to order. Miss Kellogg was quits familiar
with the role of Fides. At least twenty
four hours notice was required, and it
was quite impossible to sing it after lower
roles.
What preparation is required?"
"What DO you mean? ;" asked Miss kel-
logg, .ierkily.
= In the way Of meals?'
ooh, that depends upon the artist Some
are compelled to eat four hours before APP
pearing others Immediately before. Brig
noli never ate anything except at an early
meal when he sang at night"
Gould Nile. Scalchi without any meal
at all have sung that role ~
Simply impossible" was the answer.
"She would not have had the strength.
But immediately after eating it is also i'm

possible to sing, except in the case of Mario,
which was exceptional It is not custom
ary to ask such things of an artist in her
position"
1t was shown by the evidence of other
witnesses that some prima donnas drink a
glass of beer after the first act, Others a cup
of milk after the second, some indulge in
stewed prunes and settler water at stated
intervals, and that some smoked to aid
digestion.
SACRAMENTO NOTES.
The present season favors the music
loving people of Sacramento. The Abbott
opera season, which has Just closed, was
greeted throughout by highly appreciative
audiences. This is TO be followed next
week by the grand testimonial concert to
be given by Mamie Lyons, assisted by
leading artists of the coast This will be the
first public appearance of this artist in the
city, and will afford an opportunity to her
numerous friends and the public to hear
and Judge for themselves as to the wonder
accorded to her by the Eastern press. She
has dramatic mezzo-soprano and alto
voice, which has been highly cultivated
under training of the renowned prima
donna, Madame Inez Fabbri. Maretzek
and other impresarios of the East
speak in glowing terms Of her
magnificent voice and her ability
as an artist" She has a repertory of Italian
opera fine presence, and her friends state
that she has already had several oppor-
tunities for engagement in English opera,
but has awaited for a niche in the still
higher class of music, which they believe
she is destined soon to occupy. In her
appearance here next week she will he as
sisted by Herr Jacob Muller, whom the New
York Herald critic styles the king of
baritones :" Sig. Miguel Espinosa, the
eminent Spanish pianist, and Theodore
Nogt who sustains a high reputation in
Europe asan organ soloist and accomplished
musician The occasion, with such list,
promises to be the musical event of the
season.
The above will be followed week after
next with grand instrumental and vocal
concert TO be given by the Joran children,
of San Francisco, aided by the celebrated
, baritone, Campobelo. This combination
will also afford Il rare musical treat. The
concert will be in charge of some leading
ladies of the metropolis, who have inter
ested themselves in behalf of the .Joran chill
dren, and have adopted this method to raise
funds to send them to Europe to pursue
their musical studies.
The contract has already been let for
building the new theater, which has been
recently contemplated in this city. twill
be located on K street, between the present
Clunie building and Hale Bros q Co.'S
establishment The structure will cost
$4,000, and it is expected will be COM
pleted in about four months
