of the proceedings when the perform
anceS are going smoothly and we only
need a refreshing turn with the orches-
ira and the stage director to brush up
words and music the hard work, from a
vocal standpoint, is almost over. We
seldom rehearSe more than three or four
hours at a time. just long enough to GO
through the opera.
THE real hard work which a girl
must do who hopes to win a worthy
place on the operate stage is the long,
dreary, uninspired task of training her
vocal organs into a flexible responsive
ness She may be born with a heaven
ly voice, but unless she is willing to
give hours of daily practice to acquir-
ing a correct method of using that gift
she can never hope to become an artist.
She must make up her mind to
abandon the gayeties of girlhOod and
to practice deep breathing and right
voice placing while other girls are play
ing golf or chattering over 5 O'Clock tea
She must practice trills and phrasing
for hours every day, to the deep dis
content of her family and the immedi-
ate Eeighbors She must eschew late
hours and avoid as a pestilence even
innocent amusements that would dis
tract her mind from an undertaking
pursuit of vocal perfection.
standing for hours at work over
singing exeT cises will make her awkward
ami of ungraceful carriage. To mend
these faults she must practice dancing
and the exercises of Delsarte Then she
must also study acting, for the stage
business of Aida and Martha and
'Mignon' is quite as important as the
lyric performance.
''She is a lucky girl, indeed. if she
finds time to eat and sleep in the twen-
ty-four hours of each busy day. 1t takes
the hardest kind of hard work to pre-
pare oneself for work in opera, and
when it comes to the time when a singer
has only four or six hours of rehearsal
and practice she feels that the lyric
stage is really one of the restful pro-
fessions."

which comes to the Grand Opera House
on Friday, January f. is one of the pow
erful dramas the stage has had in many
wears. and its predeStined triumph loses
no Nerity at close range. In adapting tie
piece for the theater, Mr.. Game has, OF
necessity, made some radical changes III
its construction and purpose Even in
the day of high art and art alone, foot
light versions of moral sermons never
prove what they might have been, and
the author has had the good sense to see
this and TO profit by it. In making The
Christian" a play therefore, he has ia
ken care that it shall be essentially a
love story and to that end, he removed
from his former version everything but
the characters of John Storm and
GLORY Ouayle'' that he might have a
foundation and only q foundation on
which to rebuild his structure Many Of
the stronger incidents of the book have
been used in pEopping up the new effort,
ami some bits Of the discussion that
waved in the novel have forced them
selves into it too, but the main part of
the matter arranged has passed through
the sIillful hands of a man who knows
the value of what ne destroyed and the

Mr.. Hanford Talks of His Resemb-
lance to Distinguished Democrat.


Charles B. Hanford related a couple
of anecdotes bearing on the personal
resemblance that he bears to w. J.
Bryan, of Nebraska.
"One day in Washington, where my
home is, said Mr.. Hanford, recounting
his first sight of Mr.. Bryan, I met my
brother-in-law on the street. 1t was
just at the time Mr.. Bryan first attain
ed notice through his speech on the
tariff. Ny brother-in-law gossiped about
the brilliant young congressman and his
leap into prominence.
soon after that I strolled into the
members gallery in the capitol, one af-
ternoon- 1 had come to Washington

quite at home and at ease in this IA
miliar spot and passed the doorkeeper
without glance I sat down and saw
across the gallery my own counterpart
-" Who is that man2' I asked the door
keeper, pointing to Mr.. Bryan.
THE doorkeeper looked the young
congressman over and then sized me
up.
:" Well he said one Of you is Mr..
Bryan. think he is the gentleman

Mr.. Hanford and Mr. Bryan met on
the san platform in Texas one time.
1T was at Waco in the campaign of
1885, he explained. 1T was the OPEN
ing Of a new hall. Mr.. Bryan made the
address. 1 read the Declaration of In
dependence. We were both on the plat
form before the exercises began and it
puzzled the audience a little bit to
know which was who.

An effort was made to get the old gem
tleman to drift into a reminiscent mood,
but with little success. He would talk
of his boy" by the hour, but would
say nothing of himself.
Il have really dropped behind the
times,' said Mr.. Goodwin, when asked
as to how Boston compared today with
the Boston of 5, 20 or rs years ago.
ut is of very little use for me or any
one else to venture out of doors row.
Things are not what they were 25 yea7s
ago. Those were lively times. Yes, it
was a wide open city; wide open in al
most every sense of the word but you
never heard of hold-ups. Now hardly a.
day passes that two or three burglaries
are not reported right here in Boston,
to say nothing of the thousands of
crimes daily recorded throughout the
country. In the olden days the police
force was used to catch thieves and pro-
tect property. Now they are used to
guard churches, attend weddings and to
be at the beck and call of a crowd of
Would-be4 reformers, who spend their
time minding other peoples business.
But I don't suppose there is any need
of complaining. Every dog has his day;
