Although Miss FRITZ Scheff mas mas
I tered most of the difficulties of the
English language, she occasionally en-
counters some snag of pronunciation or
meaning which puzzles her for mo-

was rehearsing her new opera, 'The
/ Two Roses" the other evening at the
/ Broadway theatre, she sang z song
MARY and Malone" which is one OF
I the prettiest numbers in the new
/ STANCE Ell glander opera. The song
/ tells of the love of Mary for a gentle
man named Malone.
/ Miss Scheff didn't seem to sing the
song with the spirit and feeling be-
slowed upon her other solos, and her
manager. c. B. Dillingham;. asked why
Il cannot sing this song" said Miss
\ FRITZ, petulaEtly. 1T makes me seem

but one cannot love melon"
But when Miss FRITZ understood
! that Malone" is not pronounced the
/ same as melon" she sang the song in
a manner that was a revelation even
to those who had heard her sing her
| other solos.
