A Monse in Her PURSE.

tress. In Cleveland the other day she
stepped into department store with
the intention OF purchasing some sta.

Miss Landers does not know who

There is so little chance for suit
able acting in grand opera. Here and
there one finds character who has
the genius to make the greatest i'm
preston by singing and acting at the
the same time, but they are rare.
The latter is not considered a neces-
sary part Of grand opera work. If
great singer does act the part so
much the better for the audience. but
neither public, nor manager. nor
singer, considers the dramatic part
necessary to finished opera work.
THE singer must always be an
abstract quantity TO his audience. The
actor becomes a part and parcel of
his hearers. He dominates their feel

world, he becomes another personal
