Boston, Dec. 10-Every year when
the opera season opens many stories
are told about the famous singers who
come to this country from abroad at
tremendous salaries, but scarcely a
word is said of the Americans among
them. This is, perhaps. because the
nationality of the Americans is fire.

call their stage names.
There is also little said about those
other men and women, born and train
ed on this side of the water, who are
now singing in the famous companies
of Europe though many of them have
never appeared in their native land.
Yet, taken at it's full length, the list
of successful and distinguished singers
in opera and concert who were born in
the United States and whose voices
were first discovered" by American
teachers is as noteworthy as that of
any other country in the world.
Patti, Famous of All.
Probably the most famous of all the
singers, certainly of those who are now
living, is Adelina Patti. Though a ma
tive of Madrid, she spent her childhood
in New York and made her debut
there. Annie Louise Cary, who re-
tired some years ago but was in her
time one of the great contraltos of
both America and Europe, was born
in the little town of Wayne in the Pine
Tree State.
A list of American girls whose ma
tionality was almost forgotten during
their international successes, includes
the names of Emma Nevada, who was
a Miss Wixon till she became a noted
operate star and adopted the name of
her native state; Minnie Hauck, a
New Orleans girl who made her de-

best known Carmen on the operate
stage, and Nine Albani, a Canadian
