sreat actress and the comprenenSion
az a master Of stage technique. In the
ola days she used to be much amused
at the dramatic absurdities Of some OF
the old style operas. Until Mascagni
wrote "Cavalleria Rusticana," Mas
ssnst. ia Navaraise," and Leoncaval-
10 .PaKliacci, the dramatic unitles had
not been strictly observed; In fact, It
was Calves intense appreciation Of the
tragic Santuzza In 'Cavalleria' that In
spired Massenet's 'Navaraise.' This
was first produced about eight years
ago In New York, and the very first
rehearsal came near being the swan
song of the fiery Calve."
The tragedy inspired her. and she
plunged into the rehearsal with all the
enthusiasm Of her French temporal
ment. The others In the cast, Bauer
melster Plancon, Dufriche and Others
sat comfortably down near the foot
lights and contented themselves with
humming the score softly.
why do you not sing?" inquired
Calye breathlessly. They explained
quite leisurely that their voices were
never up until late In the afternoon
and they were saving them.
Calve flew out OF the Metropolitan
IN one OF her famous RACES; she de-
clared that she would never again at
tempt to sing with such soulless beings
Never will | sing again. she de-
clared "when Massenet writes a MUS
zeal tragedy In which one must feel,
one must suffer, one must live, they
don't think II even worth while to re-
hearse, No, ! shall never sing with
them, l shall return to France and be-
come an actress and never, never sing
with them again."
However, when the great opera was
produced a month or two later, 1t was
Calve and only Calve who created the
lovely part, which only goes to prove
that the moods of a great singer are
tempeamental and transitory. They
are merely the color and adornment OF
her artistic nature.
