TALK WITH j. |. GEIGER
HIS OBSERVATION OF AMERICAN
SINGERS ABROAD.
They Are Taking the Continent by
Storm and Are Everywhere Ac-
corded Recognition.

John L. Geiger, the well-known Indian
apolis musician, who returned to this city
a few days ago from a three months So
journ in Europe, is enthusiastic in his praise
OF the American singers that are now at
tracing so much attention in the chief Eu-
ropean cities. He says that never until
the last two or three years have the music
critics of the old world shown a true APP
probation Of American musicians, but that
they are now awakening to the fact that
a surprising number of the very best artists
in the musical world of to-day are products
of the United States. The latest American
debutante to score a great success in Eng
land was Miss Helen Hall. a Minneapolis
girl, with a rich mezzo-soprano voice, who
sang at a concert at st. James's Hall. in
London. several weeks ago, Mr.. Geiger
playing her piano Accomplishments.
Everywhere throughout Europe the tour
list from this country runs across successful
singers from his own land Mr.. Geiger
said, land American artists are now gain
ing honors that have been denied them in
the past. Miss Bessie Abbott, the beautiful
American girl who, before she became
protege of Jean de Reszke, was a common
place vaudeville performer, has been given
a regular engagement at the Grand Opera
in Paris. She is the second American to
be so highly honored in sixteen years, En-
ma Eames being the other Theatergoers
here in Indianapolis, who may remember
this young woman as she appeared in
vaudeville, will find it hard to realize thae
she is now considered one OF the best Juliets
that have ever sung that difficult role
Great preparations are now being made for
the production of 'Seigfried' at the Paris
Grand Opera, with Jean de Reszke in the
title role. and Miss Abbott will probably
sing in this. the most important production
of the year. 1t seems strange that 'Seig-
fried has never been sung at the Grand
Opera before. The directors have been
spending most of the summer months Wis
iting all of the finest opera houses of Ger
many, where the opera was being sung, to
secure pointers regarding the staging of the
wonderful music-drama. Another American
girl who has been highly honored is Miss
Geraldine Farrar, who has been engaged to
sing leading soprano roles in the Royal
Opera In Berlin-the first American that
has ever won this distinction. The Ger
mans are wild over Miss Farrar Her
wonderful soprano voice and her extraordi-
nary beauty have captured them complete
ly. All of the foremost artists are painting
portraits of her.

1t Is announced that the managers will no
longer send free tickets to the critics. one
manager is quoted as saying: IF jour
nalist writes down play we shall proceed
against him in the law courts. If a news
paper were to publish an article stating
that KS champagne was undrinkable the
journalist who wrote the article and the
newspaper in which it appeared would be
liable for damages. Our case, as We con-
slider 1t, is precisely similar If this were
true the department stores would have as
much right to a review of their wares as
have the theaterS. 1t depends on the point
of view. The majority of the public, as
every one knows. is very stupid and re-
CARDS the theater simply as a place of
of goods is sold. A few persons blessed
with brains know that the theater is one
OF the scenes of activity of art and is
educative influence with which criticism
properly works. The average theatrical
manager knows as much the average
actor or the average playgoer about the
drama-that is, nothing.
Gerhart Hauptmann and Gabrielle D An
nunzio are planning to erect theaters for
the performance of their own plays. DAN
nunzio will build his playhouse on a bank
of the Lake of Albano. There his trag-
edies will be recited by Duse before vast
audiences that will be admitted free of
charge. He has started on a series of
plays dealing with Rome. The first is en-
titled King Numa, and in 1T Duse will have
the part of the nynph, Egeria.

MANY AMERICAN SINGERS.
''There are many more American than
English singers in Europe to-day The
English seem TO be much better as instru-
mentalists. At a Patti concert which at
tended in London at the Royal Albert Han
a few weeks ago L heard little English
girl play the piano as few women have
ever played that instrument before The
new virtuoso, who will surely be counted
among the greatest pianists OF her day be-
fore long, was Katherine Goodson. She is
so slight OF figure and so modest in bearing
that il comes as a shock when she plays
with the power of a strong man. but at the
same time with the most exquisite taste.
She is anxious TO come TO America and will
probably be heard in this country within a
short time, as Patti is very much interested
in her and is DESTROYS OF aiding her in all OF
her ambitions Patti herself was just as
beautiful as ever and sang Home. Sweet
Home as only she can sing IT. When the
last tender. sweet tone of the song died
away there was not a dry eye in that great
audience Of 5000 people.
There are not many Indianapolis stu
dents of singing in the old country at the
present time. Mrs. Lottie Adam Raschig is
one, however, Of whom this city may well
be proud. She is studying in Berlin under
Alfred Blume, preparing herself for oratorio
work, and her master is most enthusiastic
over her voice and her prospects. Charles
Holman Black. who was one OF the first Of
Indianapolis musicians TO study in France,
still makes his home in Paris and. besides
acting as correspondent Of the London Mu-
steal Courier. sings occasionally at fashion
able drawing-room musicales. His studio
on the Avenue de Bretueil is a favorite
meeting place for American musicians in
Paris, and Blatchford Kavanaugh, the
young Chicago man who was once known
throughout the United States as the great
est of boy church singers, is a great friend
of Mr.. Blacks Kavanaugh is studying for
grand opera and his voice gives great
promise"

when the prima donna who was singing
the title role in Carpenters Louise was
taken suddenly i'll and was unable to go
on in the part. Miss Garden, whose voice
is clear, high soprano, acted as her sub
stitute, going on at the last moment with
out rehearsal, and she won the hearts of
her audience from the first tone she sang.
Louise is a typicaliy French production
which would scarcely be understood in
America; it is a heart-tragedy of life in
the Latin Quarter of Paris and the role
sung by Miss Garden calls for unusual
dramtic ability as well as artistic singing
