bit of girl but if what he opined was
true, then Marion Ivell, of the Castle
Square forces, is Il most clever woman.
Miss Iven has won a host of women
friends during this, her first grand
opera season in her home cities, for
she lived both in st. Paul and Minneap-
oils before she became welded to
her art"
Miss well is a stately and beautiful
woman of the decided brunette type.
AT first glance she would appear a trifle
too tall and stately to appeal to the
glrlsh opera -goer, who generally dotes
on petite and dainty prima donnas
But that rule does not hold good in
the case of Miss fvell. Do you ask
why? Perhaps the secret lies in the
fact that she is absolutely fond of
young girls. She "dotes on them"
She likes them in her audience; she Is
so grateful to any recognition from
them-a letter, a flower a picture sent
by any one of them, which she is al
ways glad and willing to exchange
for one of her own.
Miss Ivell is really a Minneapolis
girl, but she made a host of friends
here when she came across the river
for church choir singing, and her ca
reer has been carefully watched by
music lovers who learned to know her
at that time.
Her voice is one of the deep rich
contraltOs that nature gives to but few
women. A peculiar thing about her ca
reer is that in the start she longed to
become an actress and not a singer
When only fourteen years old she was
playing parts in Shakespearean pro-
auctions with Sanford Dodge having
appeared in an amateur way with him
in THE Merchant of Venice" Damon
and Pythias" and Macbeth" She
was regarded as having distinct dra-
matte talent and it is that instinct that
has helped her wonderfully in her OPP
cratic roles.
Before she left the Twin Cities Miss
Ivell was the contralto soloist at the
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
in Minneapolis, and later at the Peo-
pies church, in st. Paul. Her first vo-
cal master was Mr.. A. d. Madeira 1t
was he who discovered the possibili-
ties of her voice. With him Miss well
studied for two years. On his advice
she first went East studying for a
time in New York, where she after
wards joined the Castle Square COM
pdIlJ LII IT'S tuBd5tIIltlL DIT lIle AltlIO-
pOlitan opera house.
From New York Miss Ivell went to
Paris and there studied under the great
teacher, NJ. Sbriglia, the master of Jean
de ResZke. Returning to this country
two years ago she was quickly en-
gagged by Henry w. Savage.
Miss well sings many roles and does
them all well. Perhaps her favorite is
that of Carmen, her portrayal being
the dramatic and fiery heroine of blood
and impulse that Merrimee wrote
about. Aside from Carmen" Miss
Ivell is singing this season in Nancy
from Martha" Amneris in "Aida,g
AZucena In II TrOvatore," and the
queen of the gypsies in the Bohemian
Girl" Besides these, her repertory also
includes Siebel in Faust" Venus in
"Tannhauser," and Ortrude in "Lohen-
grin"

SENTENCED FOR CHARGING A
MERE MATTER OF 236 PER CENT
Wealthy Berlin Money Lender Gets Two
Years Imprisonment.

Years imprisonment.
BERLIN. April 9.-Heinrich Pariser. a
wealthy money lender, was sentenced to-
day to two years imprisonment and to
pay a fine of 1000 for usury. Sixty
specifications were brought, including the
complaints of several nOblemen and Off
GERS of the army. In one instance Pariser
charged a baron, lyon E. (the court did
not permit his full name to be known,
296 per cent which the baron paid,
though he had an unmortgaged income
from landed estate amounting to $25,
900 yearly. Another exceptional case was
that of a millionaire manufacturer who
paid interest at the rate of 100 per cent
for a short term loan of $4,000.
Pariser admitted having charged the
rates mentioned, but he affirmed that the
enormous risks reduced his profits to 10
per cent on the capital invested and
said his gambling on human nature en-
abled him to make only per cent more
than in regular business. Part of his re-
turn for SO hazardous an occupation was
the pleasure which his daily battle with
INSCRIPTIONS noblemen and social hum
bugs gave him.
