American Singers and Others.
Mr.. Savage's principal singers are not
unknown in Washington, and still in
ciude the favorites of recent years.
Tenor Joseph Sheehan is recognized as
one of the best English singing artists
America has produced. Winfred Goff is
an artistic baritone whose dramatic as
well as vocal ability has given him
high rank. Francis ]. Boyle, the young
but stalwart basso has a score or more
of great roles TO his credit Among the
pTima donnas, Gertrude Rennyson in
three years since her return from Paris
has advanced until now her dramatic
soprano is spoken OF as one of the best
among the English singing prima DON

rion Ivell, has an extensive repertoire.
and is especially noted for her fascina-
ting portrayal OF the role OF Carmen. -
Among the new singers with the or

love that has swept Pepitas little

Miss Adams. II is said TO be the most

measured as commensurate with the i'm

achievements.

has entertained an idea of rivaling the

ahead with his own theories until he
has built up "the greatest organization

by all a woman's tenderness and grace
in the performance of quieter and more
romantic passages. In addition 10 the

Sidelights on Maude Adams Re-
veaIed in Her New Play.

To find people prominent in the dra-
matte world who object to being made
conspicuous in newspapers is decidedly
the exception and not the rule, and this
does not apply only to those connected
with the theater. Yet Maude Adams,
who has been unusually prominent In
theatrical circles for the past five years,
has never been interviewed
It's not that Miss Adams di.BL . to
meet representatives Of the press Ii is
that "she dislikes any reputation Except
that gained In her professionalism is
such reputation as the critics ny give
to her and her plays unsolicited What
the critics may say OF her. she argues,
they say upon their own responsibility;
il she submits to interviews then she
must assume the responsibility.
Miss Adams holds to the healthful
view that the general public Is not much
interested in theatrical people except
as to their merits and general capabih-
ties. She is inclined to believe with
the copy books that there Is nothing
more becoming in womn (though sne
be an actress) than extreme modesty.
To be interviewed. she is inednsd 10
think. is rather departure er7m the
domain Of modesty.
Miss ADAMS once ndu a Fe4dtitc " ~
