Too young For Fame.

In commenting on certain works of art
writer said recently: at seems to me
bad sign for an artist to put forth excel
lent work in his etrly youth. He has no
future then. He has nothing more to hope
for, and besides he is likely to age prema-
turely and to die young. Take Stephen
Crane, for instance, who wrote Maggie
at 10, THE Red Badge of Courage at %
and died during the summer without hav.
ing strengthened his name appreciably in
seven or eight years. The Marquis de
Sade was a mature and vigorous man at
the age Of IL. But the most wonderful
case of premature development and pre-
mature decay is told of in the record Of
the French academy for 1T29. A boy Of
6 years was five feet seven inches in
height, had strong beard, deep bass
voice and great physical strength. AT
the age of s he was partly bald At 10
his beard and his scanty hair were gray,
and his teeth were decayed. Palsy seized
him at II, and he died Of old age before
his twelfth birthday. Whenever ! hear
of premature genius, an Aubrey
Ecardsley or a Crane, think of hat

In Miss Edna McClevey lovers of
muse in America will soon recognize a
new aud charming singer. She is to APP
pear this season with the Mockridge
Concert company in a series Of concerts,
and competent critics, both in this coun-

pronounced success in this, the land Of
her birth. Her voice is rich, vibrant and
cultured. She has n pleasing manner,
quick sympathy and smile that wins
through the eye even before her subtitle
tones capture the ear. Miss McClevey
was born III Chicago and even while
child showed unusual musical talent and
the possession of a voice that suggested
rare possibilities. Early this talent was
placed in the care of competent teachers,
who watched with pleasure its rapid de-
vclopment and predicted for their pupil
future full Of signal achievement.
Some years ago Miss McClevey met
the noted English tenor, Mr.. Whitney
Mocllridge. lie was straightway i'm
pressed by the quality of her singing, no
less than by her personal charm, and he
advised few years OF study abroad.
This study was followed with patience
and enthusiasm by the young singer, and
SO marked was her advancement that
Mr.. Mockridge in arranging for an Amer
lean concert tour readily selected her as
the soprano of his company. Before
coming to the United States Miss Nc
Clevcy appeared in concert in England
and Germany, her first professional en-
gagement being at Ventnor, Isle of Wight

won by her charm and trained voice what
often comes to artists only after repeated
disappointments. She seemed as much
at home in the intricacies of the Italian
school as in simple English ballad, as
much mistress Of her art in trying duo

The success of her first appearance was
repeated in other parts of England and in
