in a spring music festival at Convention
Hall on the evening of April 26.
In 1894 when Walter Damrosch, then di-
rector of the Damrosch Opera Company
was casting about Europe for artists he
heard at Kroll's Theater in Berlin young
singer with future all in front of her.
Attracted by the dramatic qualities of her
voice and realizing that here was the max
ing of a very great dramatic soprano en-
in America 1t was the beginning of
Johanna Gadski. And still more interest
ing is the fact that in the United States
Nine. Gadski's splendid position which she
occupies today began under the baton of an
American conductor, refuting the generally
accepted statement that only foreign made
singers attain success in this country. 1t
was not until after Nine. Gadski had made
her phenomenal success in this country
that she returned to Germany, where she
emphasized the judgment of Mr.. Damrosch
member of the Grau Opera Company in
New York. When Grau retired in the
spring of 1903 Nine. Gadski accepted an
offer from Heinrich Conried, the successor
of Mr.. Grau at the Metropolitan Opera
House Owing to differences between Mr.
Conreid and Nine. GadSki relative to the
terms of the contract she concluded ar
rangements with Loudon G. Charlton for a
series of concerts which have proven her
versatility, and places her in the front rank
of the worlds greatest artists.
Last summer Nine. Gadski sang the
Countess in the Marriage of Figaro at the
Munich Court Theater during the Mozart
festival. In August of last year she sang
Senta in the Flying Dutchman' at the
Wagner festival in Munich and so pro-
nounced was her success that she was en-

without interference. If the public desires
show girls it shall have them; show girls
as merry villagers. show girls as dramatic
heroines. show girls as prima donnas. And
from this complaisant policy flows wealth
steadily and i'll abundance. When this
wealth is some day concentrated in the
hands of some one theatrical magnate he
will lift his head to breathe and look about
him. and wonder what he will do with 1t.
And perhaps he will be moved by an i'm
pulse of philanthropy that will make Car
negie's or Rockefeller's efforts to improve
public taste and morals seem pale and in
effectual by contrast. Perhaps he will es-
tablish a school of acting.

Ben Hur,

Klaw & Erlanger's deliberately staged
production OF Gen. Lew Wallace's Ben
Hur" will be the offering the week of May
i at the National Theater. Its first pre-
sentation in New York marked a distinct
advance in a new field, which had hitherto
been unexplored. So-called religious dramas
had been presented without number, but
their lack of success came from the fact
that they possessed no inherent dramatic
Virlity. The palpable injection OF a re
ligious episode into play of no human in
terest served neither to elevate the drama
nor to hold the attention of the public.
For many years actors. managers and
drama lists looked longingly at the novel
Ben Hur' Lawrence Barrett and others
of equal prominence presented the subject
of uramatization to Gen. Wallace. but he
resolutely set his face against any stage
presentation until Klaw & Erlanger won
him over. Gen. Wallace was unable to
understand how a proper and impressive
presentation of the appearance of the Star
of Bethlehem to the Wise Men could be
made within the limited confines OF A mod
ern stage. Klaw & Erlanger exhibited an
electrical device, whereby n star is first
seen about as big a glow worm on
summers night, gradually increasing in in
tensty until il develops 25.o00 candle power
with rays extending a distance of sixteen
feet. The representation of the famous
chariot race was next taken up. 1t was
necessary to show the contesting horses
running at top speed, as well as repre-
SentatiOn OF thousands OF excited SpeCtd-
tors in the circus at Antioch. and the
smashing of the wheel of Messalas chariot,
as described in his book. Solving the
chariot race problem, Klaw Erlanger
then submitted a plan of action whereby
the presence of Divinity would be suggested
only by a peculiar light of purest white
flashes across the scene and rest on the
faces of the assembled worshipers. This
instantly dissolved the last of Gen. Wal
lace's objections, and it has proved to be
the most powerful and convincing stage
nicture of all dramas.

HOW MAUDE ADAMS BEGAN HER
