OTHER "KUNDRY-' HAS HER SAY.
One More Still to Connective Fremstad
Has Nothing Against Bayreuth.


When Nine. Nordica called down poor
old Bayreuth the other day and said dread
full things about the performances there,
the foundations Of Wahnfried may not
have trembled; but there was rumble in
the neighborhood Of the Hotel Algonquin
that was not caused by the excavation for
the hippodrome opposite Olive Frem-
stad, who is also to sing in -Parsifal" this
season, had the publicity department Of the
Metropolitan Opera House on the telephone
within five minutes after she heard of Nine
Nordica's interview.
is Nine. Nordica the only Kundry on
the bank, the bank of flowers, / mean?
How about Miss Fremstad? Am not also
to be Kundrys"
Mr. Mettzer reduced his diminishing crop
of hair by two or three more strands, which
fluttered into the waste basket as he reeas ID
his desperate grip on them, and telephoned
Miss Fremstad that she should also have
her little interview about Kundry if she
would be patient a little longer.
Yesterday Miss Fremst ads little inter-
vi ew came into this heartless world. II
was not more than a quarter as long as
Nine. Nordica's and was printed in plain
black ink. Nine. Nordica's was blue.
1t didn't abuse anything at all, and even
poor Frau Cosma Wagner, who usually
catches it at the Metropolitan these days,
escaped this time. 1t was a quiet, blonde
little conversation in which Miss Frem-
stad said 1t would take her years to study
to find out what the character of Kundry
meant, although she knew the music al
ready.
Then at the end of her talk Miss Frem-
stad told about her -Parsifal" plans. She
Is a mezzo soprano, and surprise was ex-
pressed that she should attempt music
that lies 30 high as that allotted to Kundry.
"My voice has changed Of late" says
Miss Frems,ad. at is higher than it
used to be and believe the music Of Rundry
lies properly within my range. When !
began my career under the guidance Of
Iilli Lehman l sang mezZo roles chiefly
because they were easier for beginner
to get than any other kind 1t was always
my ambition to make a reputation as
dramatic soprano"
Miss Fremstead's interview had no sooner
been let loose than Marion Weed, the third
of the Kundrvs, arrived In New York. Miss
Weed will have to wait for her interview
for a few days. All she was allowed to
saw Yesterday was that she had ordered
new costumes for Rundry

AND SCHUMANN. HEINK SANG,
BETTER THAN A SPEECH FOR THE
TWELFTH NIGHT CLUE.
Her Feelings Over an Ice Cream Reception
and an Ivy Wreath Presentation Too
Deep for WOrds-nut She Did Remem-
Der That Mrs. Croker Had q Husband.

WI shat STOheF ftau u hUSDdUu.
Smiling at the wrong time, and waving
her arms when the right words ouldn't
come Nine SchumannHeink triei to talk
In pantomime to the Tive tn Night Club
and their guests yesterday afternoon,
while they in despair besought some ore,
even the attendants, to speak German
to the prima donna
One member at last lei foreigner to
the side of TIE guest OF honor, only t. find
that the foreigner was French, not German.
But it was great success Everybody
said so. One after another Mrs. Alice
Fischer Harcourt, president of the club,
presented the celebrities, and the prima
donna smiled at them-till Mrs Richard
Croker arrived. Then Schumann- Heink,
who seemed familiar with the late Tammany
chic tain's name, thus startled his wife.
am de-e-light Mrs. Richard Cr-rok-er-r
Remember me-to your husband - es-
teemei!"
Seated near the piano, Madame listened
to several CITIES and ate ice cream with a
German flag waving in the centre, until
the president called her to the platform,
saying.
ITO this paragon among women, Nine
Schumann-Heink. who is both good and
beautiful, as an artist and woman, pre-
sent this ivy wreath, the emblem of our
club"
She handed the wreath tied with tie
German colors to the fair and substantial
guest. Isabel Irving placed the ivy pin in fer
breast, making her an honorary member,
and then i was plain that there must be a
speech. With tears in her eyes, Schumann-
Heink tried it in broken English.
Il can no English say-only my songs.
In German ] do a leetle better But love
you ALL ladies Throwing out her arms
irnpulsivelyl. Oh, what can do? will
sing"
And she sang Schumann's "Wiemung"
as the Twelfth Nighters never heard it be-
fore. Then she was kissed by the preSi-
ident and all the other members who could
get there In time. With an American flag
in one hand and the club e.i.nie u IN the
other, abe entered an automobile and was
driven away, crying 'Hurrah, as she waved
farewell.
1T was a success-even II she did not
understand a word we said" sighed Miss
Lillian Thurgate, one OF the hostesses.
and she and the other women went back
to eat the ice cream.
