Miss Olive Fremstad, a former Mime
apolis singer, now calls Munich her home
and is living In a quiet country suburb
where she is carefully guarding her
health. She was so unfortunate last sea-
son, her first in London, to have severe
attack of inflammation of the lungs and
and she has had to take special care since
as pulmonary weakness is family inher-
itance. :.,. .s.s. - : .s f.
Miss Fr,eemrnsstad appeared last month ii
the Wagner festival at Munich and her
voice seems to grow more mellow and
sympathetic, while her acting was as gra-
cious as could be-. She sang the role of
Brangane in Christian and Isolde" and
also that Of Ortrud in .'Lohengrin.'' The
latter was difficult character for one Of
Miss Fremstad's amiable temperament to
portray and that she succeeded in Great
ing an Ortrud who was really a dominant
evil genius was "a high testimony to her
artistic ability. The New York critics
called her the Maude Adams Of the oper-
attic world ann said thaE one would as
soon expect Maude% Adams to make a sue
cess as Lady Macbeth as: Miss Fremstad
to represent the rampant malice Of Ortrud.
